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'm saying this is impossible to properly dissect with this source. I'm not attacking you lol, I'm trying to explain the disagreement

My bad for assuming you're from "the West" though. It's a predominantly English speaking forum so that's the baseline I was working with

Sorry, I didn't mean to sound so hostile/defensive. I understand why you assumed I would be American like most users on this website. It just happened so many times at this point – sometimes with people lecturing me on the country I live/lived in lol – that it got a bit old.
