    In total there were 50 people arrested, in case anyone thinks China was only targeting gay erotica. They just hate porn.

        Odd sentiment from someone deliberately lying for the purposes of propaganda

        Are you even getting paid for this?

        The correct response to being corrected on media illiteracy is “thank you”.

            Why would I need another? Your selective reading of the original you posted is what was pointed out.

            Re: MAGA, lazy sinophobia and only seeing the red meat for it is more of their thing. Not, “here is the rest of the context you ommitted”. If that is your metric for badnesd, you are guiltu of it.

                Please do your best to reply to what I say rather than changing the subject.

                    You’re just bailing on the rabbit hole you chose to go down because you ran out of retorts. My replies to “the main topic” are already there and cover adding additional context and calling out poor behavior or problematic tendencies. So far you have not directly addressed any of those things. Are you sure that’s what you want to discuss?

                They were arrested for mass distribution, not for writing. Keep in mind this law was written before the internet, back then distributing 5000 copies was a fairly large operation. I don’t think the writers of the law foresaw a future where distributing 5000 copies of a work could be done instantly and in many cases for free (although the punishment is more severe based on income)

                I’m only clarifying the facts. My personal opinions on the matter are quite different.

                    No, but I don’t think posting misleading headlines in an English-speaking forum is the way to change that.
