Now that headline offers both a "no surprise" and a chance to make a wrong assumption. First "no freedom in China" goes without saying, it's a totalitarian country. The "gay porn writers" part is what's interesting. They were women. They wrote gay fiction because it was popular and because it paid. Thirty-two women were arrested for writing "with illegal porn descriptions" and for spreading pornography.
It seems in China the word is not protected, or at least some words are not protected. Police in Zhengzhou, capital of Henan Province, detained the website owner and his writers for spreading obscene materials, the local Orient Today reported today. The women were contracted to write the stories and paid less than $16 for each one.
Leave it to China to find a faster and cheaper way to do anything! Unlike American writers, some of the Chinese actually got paid by the publisher, too.
