(boy’s love writers) admit i didn’t read the whole article because it seems ridiculous and western reporting on China is like 90% fabrications. someone educate me on whatever this is. is it conservative local governments doing local government shit?
my partner loves this shit especially from China and i don’t want to inform her about some made up BS designed to radicalize the slash and yaoi community against the CPC
It looks like this is a really heavily propagandised presentation of a year old story. About a year ago a website called Haitang based out of Taipei was using a money laundering method to pay some authors on its platform in a way that would avoid them having to pay tax on that income. They got shut down for like a few days and changed the site’s payout model. As far as I can tell, a few authors got in minor trouble for tax evasion.
Ohhhhh so a money laundering white collar op turns into “china is rounding up all the boy love authors” after being allowed to stew in the Propaganda Pot.
(also I have no idea how I cross posted this to the same comm I posted it in)
