lmao
If this is even actually happening, I suspect it has more to do with China's pornography laws (which amount to a blanket ban on creating any such work) than homophobia.
it was only a few months ago that people downloaded redbook, a chinese social media app filled with gay people kissing each other in the frontpage
i don't disbelieve that there's a blanket ban on lgbtq issues in China, in the same sense that anti porn laws are applied selectively in Japan and that a similar social conservative streak dominates in India. but given that the main source for this issue is RFA then i'm gonna err on the side of caution. which is to not assume that there's a repeat of the chechnya concentration camps situation
