What's up with these arrests of slash fic writers in China? Real or propaganda? (www.abc.net.au)

(boy's love writers, so i guess more yaoi then slash) admit i didn't read the whole article because it seems ridiculous and western reporting on China is like 90% fabrications. someone educate me on whatever this is. is it conservative local governments doing local government shit?

my partner loves this shit especially from China and i don't want to inform her about some made up BS designed to radicalize the slash and yaoi community against the CPC

I am addressing the general idea that "if Radio Free Something reported on this, it is not true". I can speak on this because I have experience with this and the example I give towards the end of my comment comes from this experience.

P.S. To be absolutely clear, I also have experience with queerphobia in China because my transition began while I lived there but this I specifically avoided talking about because I didn't want to give more credence to the article in the OP.
