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??

      This has got to be the biggest false accusation as a result of being butthurt I think I’ve ever seen on social media- and I used to have a Facebook account.

          Nope, it starts at efforts that aim to provide easily accessible and readily available welfare to everyone in society which can be achieved under capitalism. Anti-capitalism is only a radicalisation of these ideas

            Nope, that simply cannot be done under capitalism, but you can get total control of the government in order to deregulate society by promising it, like liberals are want to.

            Anti capitalism isn’t radical, it’s the bare minimum to move forward towards an equal and equitable society, and nothing that cannot be achieved with capitalism.

              Countries like Sweden, Finland and Norway operate under capitalist systems while offering comprehensive welfare programs. This to me suggests that capitalism can accommodate accessible welfare with the right policies.

              but you can get total control of the government in order to deregulate society by promising it, like liberals are want to.

              I’m not entirely sure what you mean here, i think what you’re saying is that parties use promises of welfare as a strategy to gain power but, once in control, shift towards policies that prioritize deregulation (correct me if I’m wrong), but I’m not sure deregulation is always the end goal. How do you see that playing out in contexts where welfare programs have been expanded under liberal governments?

              Anti capitalism isn’t radical

              Uhh yes it is!

              Radical - Favoring fundamental change, or change at the root cause of a matter.
