Yes, porn is illegal in China. All porn. They weren’t targeted for being gay, as both this article and the original Chinese language article points out. They don’t get special treatment for producing gay literature either way.

Can’t have anything nice in china. Sad.

Opposing the sex industry is a common and principled left stance. It is only in capitalist countries where their cops are funded to harrass people and Johns are rarely punished where there has been a need for a “sex work is work” movement.

In countries run or established by communists, they were often facing racial or otherwise imperialist systemic rape (“comfort women” for Japanese imperialists, for example), recognized how this worked in both slavery and “transactional” capacities, and correctly banned it. Things like erotica were swept up in this total purge of marketing sex, and enforcement is inconsistent as it is usually regional.

Please so your best to educate yourself, be accurate in your summaries, and to not be sinophobic.

Sex workers are workers, end of story.

I understand you Americans have fucked up views on sex workers and treat them like shit, but that is on you.

Also Australia women were taken as comfort women by Japan, and yet we still legalise and protect our sex workers.

If your mom had to start working as a prostitute from now on, would you think this is ok because all work is work?

If she had to do that because she had no choice? That would be horrible. If she started an OnlyFans because she enjoyed the attention, I’d be embarrassed, but good for her.
