Chinese fandoms are currently experiencing an actual Purge right now. Every fandom. Accounts are getting banned, all shipping wars has been put on hold. Everyoneâs hiding their porn and moving them to ao3.Â
Thereâs reward money involved. A recent update to censorship law raised the maximum reward for reporting illicit online materials to 50k yuan (7000 USD), so some people are reporting porn like crazy right now, and apparently, BL fandoms have been especially targeted, where some even more tame things got maliciously misreported.Â
Anyway, itâs a mess. Content creators are just disappearing off the face of the internet left and right. Expect an influx of Chinese porn fics on AO3.Â
Well⌠if thereâs one thing out of this mess⌠nothing bands warring ships/fandoms like censorshipâŚÂ
Hey guys, if some awesome person in China translated your fic into Chinese or created fan art, you really should spread the word! This could affect someone you know!
This is also a call out to all you fuckwits that repost art on Tumblr, twitter, Pinterest, and Instagram. Your negligence hurts people.

This is literally shitty and it has become worse and worse
Hopefully it will stop before long but just take care of how yiou take your stances on ao3 or whatâs happening with Tumblr
A chinese homoerotic novel writer is sentenced to 10 years to prison because of âillegal publicationâ*Â and âspread of obscene materialsâ. After that, China government set up bounty for reporting âillegal publicationâ. Everyone on weibo, lofter etc. is deleting thier posts.
China is using this act as a way of controling the freedom of speech, itâs not just a matter of âno homoâ. They just use the fandom content creators as an easy target and a way to scare people off from writing and publishing things the government doesnât like.
China is living the Nineteen Eighty-Four novel. Please donât post chinese fan works, especially not with their original chinese artists/writers right now. You could literally ruin their life.
* in China every book has to be approved by the government before
publication. Anything against the government or with âthe wrong ideaâ will be banned. Their government didnât pay too much attention to fan books before, but in recent years, they are tightening their grip on their people. Fandom and their activities as a whole has become a target because 1) fandom and their creative community make self-publishing a thing and China doesnât like that the people know itâs easy to print stuffs (to spread unwanted information/ideas etc. 2) fandom and their creative community is the easiest and obvious target because of the general anti LBGT+ envirnment, general public will support the gornment for âcleansing the society from obscenityâ withouth thingking about 1)
