Why were some things absolutely scandalous in the past and now they're no big deal? Or outrageous in one part of the world and commonplace in another? How did a dance that seems tame today become a threat to public morals? Why did women riding bicycles cause alarm? When was reading novels considered a dangerous habit? Join Davie for a playful, provocative journey through ordinary things that used to be scandalous. From bikinis and rock ’n’ roll to birth control and nudity in film, we’ll uncover surprising historical stories behind freedoms and pleasures many people now take for granted—and discover why the same thing could be perfectly acceptable in one country and outrageous in another.

Through stories, images and lively conversation, we’ll explore what these scandals reveal about culture, power, religion and the fear of change. We’ll compare reactions across different countries and generations, bring our own perspectives from China and elsewhere, and ask which of today’s social rules might leave future generations laughing, or shaking their heads. Expect memorable cultural knowledge, plenty of room for disagreement, and a fresh look at what we call “normal.” No prior historical knowledge necessary, just curiosity and a willingness to question the obvious.

为什么有些事以前简直伤风败俗，现在却根本不算什么？或者在一个地方让人觉得离谱，在另一个地方却再普通不过？一个今天看起来平平无奇的舞蹈，当年怎么就变成对公共道德的威胁了？为什么女性骑自行车会引发恐慌？读小说曾经什么时候被当成一种危险的习惯？跟着 Davie 来一场又好玩又有点挑事的旅程，看看那些曾经被视为伤风败俗的普通事。从比基尼和摇滚乐，到避孕和电影里的裸露，我们会挖出那些自由和快乐背后让人意外的历史故事——这些事现在很多人早就习以为常了——也会看看为什么同一件事，在一个国家完全能接受，在另一个国家却离谱得不行。

通过故事、图片和热闹的聊天，我们会聊聊这些丑闻到底揭示了文化、权力、宗教和对改变的恐惧的什么。我们会比较不同国家和不同代人的反应，也会带上自己从中国和其他地方来的视角，还会问：今天哪些社会规则，可能会让以后的人笑出声，或者直摇头。会有很多让人记得住的文化知识，也留足了不同意见的空间，还会重新看看我们所谓的“正常”。不需要任何历史知识，只要有点好奇心，愿意质疑那些看起来理所当然的事就行。
