    Well let's see here:

    1. Enemies to lovers
    2. Pupil / Teacher
    3. Enemies to lovers
    4. Pupil / Teacher
    5. Enemies to lovers
    6. Enemies to lovers

    My best guess is that they're not a fan of enemies starting to fuck or teachers taking advantage.

      All I'm reading is

      • Main Character / Main Character

      for most of these.

      Like, what were we really expecting? Ships of Hagrid and McGonagall?

      I mean I can see the student/teacher being cringe ones but like

      If I was a liberal (which I‘m not I swear please believe me) and into Harry Potter I would totally be down for Harry/Draco.

      Honestly the weirdest part to me is that so many people wrote fanfic about Harry‘s parents.

        I didnt say that I was personally against it, just trying to maybe explain what they were thinking.

        Also a lot of those enemy/enemy ships can be non-con stuff, which is probably the main reason why China banned the site anyway. :shrug-outta-hecks:

          I like China but their ban on porn is cringe

          Non-con (on both ends) is a super popular kink, I don’t see what’s wrong with writing fanfic with it

            Most non-con stuff that I've seen on Ao3 is just straight up r*pe fantasies.

            Funnily enough there's 3000 works on the Harry Potter category that has both the tags "Underage" and "R*pe/Non-con" on them. Now I don't really care what adults get up to reading and writing wise, but you don't even need to log in to find this stuff.

            Meh. Its patronizing.

            But consider the degree to which Chinese residents have been sexually exploited by foreigners, historically speaking. I'm not surprised to see a prudish reaction to a Century of Humiliation.
