10 arrested for writing gay erotica in China as part of nationwide crackdown - Frozen Lemmy
lemmy.frozeninferno.xyz
Summary China has intensified its crackdown on erotic fiction writers, particularly those creating danmei (gay romance/erotica), with over 50 arrests in Anhui province since June 2024. At least 10 individuals have been sentenced, with penalties reaching up to 4.5 years in prison. Many writers published on Taiwan-based Haitang Literature, which has faced disruption. Under China’s strict laws, earning over 250,000 yuan (~$34,500) from such works can result in a life sentence, though reduced sentences are possible if profits are repaid. Critics argue the campaign undermines freedom of expression and inflates sales figures to justify harsh punishments.

I’m just baffled that i’ve been banned for this, I just wanted evidence that chinese elections are being rigged, and explained why that evidence was insufficient, and what evidence would be??

    It’s your unwillingness to even try to understand. There’s a form of trolling, sealioning, where you ignore the validity and implications of valid points to keep the other saying the same thing until it all becomes frustrating noise. Squid’s default MO.

    YBA. You for giving Squid the opportunity to look right for once, and Squid because [gestures widely].

      I genuinely don’t know what you’re saying I didn’t understand.

          Can you give me an example? I’m not unwilling, I just genuinely don’t understand.

              This is great lmfao I’ve somehow never seen it.

              But that’s backwards… he replied to my post asking for evidence, no?

              why get involved in a conversation asking for evidence, provide none, and then get angry when asked for it?

                Look at his OP. He said squid was arguing this way and you were feeding the troll brother.
