A Chinese novelist has been sentenced to 10 years in prison for writing and distributing homoerotic novels, provoking widespread debate online over the severity of her sentence.
It's just dumb socially backwards pornography laws that are on the books to avoid western bourgeois media taking hold in the country, but aren't nuanced enough.
She's was put in jail for the amount distributed not the homoerotic nature of the material though.
Yeah I don't agree with it either, but the official statement was the sentence was based on numbers.
I'd like to know if she is still in jail though, because there was talk of appealing the sentencing times before the news goes completely cold in western media.
Edit: oh lol that's all in this article as well. Sorry was reading through different sources trying to find more info as well
