Censorship plus persecution have already led to writers and artists in other countries to be arrested, tortured, humilliated and even killed, but this year China's leader has decided that women who write fiction about homosexual characters are to be treated as criminals. Even if I don't read any manhua myself, this concerns me as much as anyone who does: https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c056nle2drno

Did they have to do that to the poor woman? Geez.
I know China is heavy on the censorship but I can't help but worry shit like this will inspire other governments to copy it

Its well known I abhor the yuri and yaoi genres but even I can see how fucked up this shit is. Freedom of expression should always be encouraged and protected so long as it's not a call to violence of course.

I’m afraid the thread is somewhat misleading. China isn’t arresting writers for writing about homosexuality. China is arresting people who produce gay porn. Pornography is illegal in China and producing any sort of porn there can get you arrested.

To be more precise, from what I heard, writers and artists who were producing such content were uploading to a Taiwanese site called Haitang. Now in order to get paid, Haitang used some service from mainland China to pay the writers and artists.

So earlier in the year or last year, someone in the police in China found the site and contacted the payment services for the contact information of the writers who lived in the mainland. A crackdown ensued and at least 30 people were arrested. I think the current news stories are from the aftermath of these arrests.

Please correct me if I am wrong as I don’t really understand much of China and I didn’t do too much research.:notlikethis:

I linked the news article so first read it, there's nothing misleading about the title when it affects to manhua as a whole (erotica is not the same as porn and it's not only gay one but also straight). The persecution is much harsher on those who wrote boy's love (denmei), and the works are not necessarely new (it's on the article, read).

I think people who censor Japanese media in America should be arrested, tortured, and humiliated.

Of course, I'm joking. Half-joking. 40/60 maybe.
Americans are disgusting and try to insert their half-baked woke or petarded right shit into it, because Japanese culture is alien to them and they can’t respectfully accept the differences. Localization is bullshit.

Why can’t we get dubs or subs from the dragon ball z or Pokémon days.
Dub all I heard is big chins trying to sound like cute anime girl or just annoying asf male who can’t sound cool for crap to deliver lines, he should go back to delivering for door dash.
Subs are getting garbled to shit by CringeRoll and with AI it’s only gonna get worse.
