      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?

                    Okay? So let’s leave the rabbit hole you dug and just go back to the actual topic.

                    I guess you’re too afraid to answer it, so you divert the conversation into your comfort zone.

              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.

                    It’s not misleading. It’s just focusing on one aspect of a much larger problem. The article never said “only gay fiction.”

                    You seem to exist on both sides of this topic. It must be exhausting to be queer, and pro-china, since you’re definitely not welcome there.
