10 arrested for writing gay erotica in China as part of nationwide crackdown - Frozen Lemmy

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??

    PTB. The mod is banning someone because they’re not backing down. I didn’t see it as trolling to insist on the evidence of rigging. I do think you’re incredibly naive about manufactured consent, but I don’t think you’re trolling.

    Libs on lemmy are too trigger happy about anyone not immediately going jumping on a China hate bandwagon, and see every debate on the subject as trolling.

      This. The whole thing was fucking ridiculous and the guy who banned him shouldn’t be a mod.
