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.

          …that was nearly the entirety of the worlds view for most of post printing press history. But in this case a majority of China’s citizens felt pornography was offensive, so it’s now illegal. Not enough people care to introduce or vote in legislation to make it legal.

            lol, not enough people vote in a dictatorship or protest against the dictatorship to make it legal.

              China has a robust democracy where every citizen can vote. It’s a dictatorship of the proletariat. The reason you think differently is because you’ve never talked with someone that’s ever been to China, much less a citizen of China, so you internalized racist propaganda.

                  There are hundreds of parties in China. The CPC is the starting point, the base set of ideas you have to uphold to hold office. It’s the same as swearing to uphold the constitution in the US.
