“I’ve been warned not to talk about it,” the woman wrote, before revealing snippets of the day she says she was arrested for publishing gay erotica.
“I’ll never forget it - being escorted to the car in full view, enduring the humiliation of stripping naked for examination in front of strangers, putting on a vest for photos, sitting in the chair, shaking with fear, my heart pounding.”
The handle, Pingping Anan Yongfu, is among at least 8 in recent months which have shared accounts on Chinese social media platform Weibo of being arrested for publishing gay erotic fiction. As authors recounted their experiences, dozens of lawyers offered pro bono help.
At least 30 writers, nearly all of them women in their 20s, have been arrested across the country since February, a lawyer defending one told the BBC. Many are out on bail or awaiting trial, but some are still in custody. Another lawyer told the BBC that many more contributors were summoned for questioning.
They did not. Words mean things. Answered here. Cite the law: you can’t.
Right back at you: twisting the word illegal. I disapprove of the dumb online ID regulations, too: still not illegal. US isn’t throwing pornographers & erotica writers in jail.
You said it. Not banned in USA.
Chinese government is already there.
US still has a long way to “catch up”. They’re not
The Chinese government doesn’t care about individual rights & never has: it’s baked into the formula. They always put tankie ideology first, the individual later, sometimes far later.
Oh so youre actually just a propagandist, damn okay then. Im not engaging with you on made up terms and a belief that time doesn’t move forward. I hope you get clowned in the debrief for this dogshit agitprop.
Good thinking bailing now: looks like someone knows when they’re beat. It would be incredibly easy to prove me wrong if your claim were true, yet you don’t. Not hard to figure out why.
You basically: just because facts are inconvenient to your argument doesn’t mean it’s valid to ignore them, pretend they’re “propaganda”, or evade with irrelevant claims.
So, cool fallacies & evasion, bro. You’re 🤡ing yourself right here.
Next time, try logic.
