Inside China’s Insane Witch Hunt For Slash Fiction Writers

Important.

I take for granted my ability to be a fangirl and a lesbian in the open, my freedom of speech. To be vocal about my joys, my erotic attachments. Meanwhile our fellow fans are being persecuted for what many of us experience as simple guilty pleasures. This is a vital issue and it deserves our collective attention.

This is completely bananas.  I really wish I could articulate my feelings about this more, but for now I’m just gonna reblog and leave it at that.  My heart goes out to our fellow fen being persecuted.

We should be doing something, not just talking about it, but I don’t know what our options are.

 Dear God this is horrible. And worse, at least the second time this has happened. I know quite a few of my stories have been translated into Chinese for Chinese readers, and now I’m worried about those translators, too and hope they’re okay. <333

Never take for granted the ability for some of us to be open (ish) about our online activities. We’re with you, friends. China has a very powerful and pervasive (and corrupt) government; there is very little we could do from here. Very little anyone can do, really.

Makes me wonder if Amnesty International or Human Rights Watch are aware of this.
