    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?

            You deliberately misled people by telling a partial truth and your response to being called out is “lol you’re from the instance I’m posting on”?

            You come here and deliberately lie to do propaganda and at the same time you’re backslapping about how you’re fishing for a ban to parade around. You should get banned. You’re a bad actor.

              I’m not OP genius.

              And oh no, not a ban from the troll farm of Lemmy. Whatever will I do?

                    Is this the “rational thinking and supportive behavior to convince people on your ideas” that you said I should adopt to avoid “push[ing] people away and remind them of how they don’t want anything to do with the “left””?

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

          Here is another. Your personal views of media literacy are similar to that of a MAGA.

            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.

              Do you think people should be arrested for writing dirty fiction?

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

                  I’m returning to the main topic. Do you or don’t you.

                    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?

            I only stated the truth.

            For some reason, you don’t like that.

              Do you think people should be arrested for writing dirty stories?

                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.

                  Do you think people should be arrested for writing an erotic fiction book?

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