A lawyer/group in China today shared on wb about the recent Haitang platform author arrest situation (by Lanzhou) and said they’re going to offer free legal support for authors and their families like legal consultation, going over procedural guidelines, criminal defense etc.😭
After the arrests last year of Haitang danmei authors, the authorities have allegedly arrested another 200-300 authors, many of whom took to weibo to share their experiences recently. What struck me is how the authors always blamed themselves for not being cautious enough or -
That’s why I hate people that said they like danmei because of china censorship. They should know that the author are in danger because of the censorship.
any time some asshole says that they prefer "censored" BL, remind them that what they're celebrating is the choice of a government that does this to people just trying to tell queer stories. Things are "censored" cuz writers dont have a CHOICE, not cuz they want it that way.
lol people who wrote a fictional erotic novel got 10 years in prison. meanwhile, people who committed real, violent crimes liketrafficking 46 children, raping and imprisoning women, abusing children and etc., received lighter sentences than the author of an erotic book.
everyone is fucking ridiculous and it makes me sick to my stomach how they penalize the authors and interrogate them like they're some sort of moral war criminals who changed society by writing smut like wtf is wrong with this justice system
