more adventures on rednote mostly because it’s entertaining how mad people get when i talk about it :3 /halfjoke

this was posted 12/31 btw so i don’t think “the mods haven’t gotten to it yet” is a real thing

#le is common in parallel to the anglosphere’s #wlw which i think is adorable

my number one qualm with little red book so far is there is no native translation like tiktok has. lots of google translate is necessary to get the social media to social :P

necessary disclaimer: fuck the CCP and all the real violence and repression they do. just want to give credit given where due, and so far here im just seeing a lot of assumptions with no evidence? so im gonna post what my experience is :) i welcome all to do the same

    Chinese writer sentenced to 10 years in prison for homoerotic book

    A Chinese novelist has been sentenced to 10 years in prison for writing and distributing homoerotic novels, provoking widespread debate online over the severity of her sentence.

    The female writer, surnamed Liu, but more commonly known by her internet pseudonym Tianyi, was arrested in 2017 following the success of her novel “Occupy,” according to reports in Chinese state media.

    The book was described by police in East China’s Anhui Province as depicting “obscene sexual behavior between males” set to themes of “violence, abuse and humiliation.”

      He wrote porn, full stop. Creating pornographic content is an offensive, regardless of content or audience. But good work posting a sensationalized version of events that happens to align with us state dept propaganda.

        *she

        If you find pornography offensive, that’s a you problem. Well, unless you’re a government. Then you make it other people’s problem. Honestly, this reminds me of shitty US politicians. You’re not denying it happened though.

        The CCP doesn’t censor anything, except when it does, but it’s the author’s fault then.

        Every government, “western” or “eastern” that moves to limit access to pornography or other sexual expressions moves in a militaristic direction.

          Sorry, confused this one with others in the same sweep.

          Yes, all pornography is banned. Turns out that’s what the people voted on. Sucks if you like porn but minority rule isn’t a thing in China.

      IANAL in Chinese law but I believe it is writing erotic stuff that’s illegal in China, gay or not.
