@Xylune The crazy fandom is in part caused by the repressive government. Fans, especially female fans, who are unhappy with their situation turn all their frustration to engage with idol culture, and if lots of things are boiling under the surface it can sometimes get very excessive. But it's also because of a certain type of fandom culture. Sadly, the government will then use this excessive and destructive fandom behaviour to motivate even more repression. It's a vicious circle. 

I always assumed that avoiding political discussions may result in some sort of indulgence in other things, such as the entertainment industry, as the attention is being shifted to it. On the other hand, we can see somewhat similar issues in South Korea, where social media wars are rather common as well. So I doubt it can be fully blamed on restrictive politics. However, I haven't really researched these things before, so I can't comment a lot on it. Still, it's a very interesting topic. In my teens and early twenties I was part of a music fandom for a Finnish band, and even there people developed some strange behaviors such as parasocial relationships. If I look at the KPop fandom nowadays, it probably can't even be compared - not to forget about the development of social media over the last decade. It's fascinating - and likely scary. Anyway, I can imagine that living in a country where social media are mainly focussing on entertainment, it could fan the whole thing even more compared to other countries.

As a BL fan, i agree with this.
They want explicit depiction. Probably people like me are crazy  in their eyes, when watching Untamed or Word of honor and seeing  A LOT OF ROMANTIC FEELINGS even without kisses or whatever.
Love should not be measured according to those things, but according to feelings.
OF COURS gov avoid distrust and destruction of social harmony is their behaviour is too exaggerate. And yes, it's a vicious circle that engulfs even actors.

Its disbandment day for the Anti-Censorship Liberation Army who can now lay down their weapons and return to civilian life.

May all the conspiracies you fight against in the future be similarly bloodless.

Also, here is the explicit ban on bromance or dangai from the Beijing Municipal Radio Television and Film Bureau (sorry it's also in chinese, but I figure the primary source is best proof and it's not my fault if the homophobe claiming it isn't banned doesn't speak chinese) https://web.archive.org/web/20220524181759/https://gdj.beijing.gov.cn/hdjl/zxft1/202201/t20220107_2584937.html

Exactly 💯 of recent the Communist Party of China even started kidnapping bl authors claiming they're writing degenerate books and preventing the growth in population of straight couples!

fake news. In China, p*rn is illegal, only 2 authors were on house arrest because of explicit description.  China is still a Confucian nation, deeply rooted in it. You can't expect woke from the west. In real life there is no problem. in business there is another thing.  China is not for extrovert people showing off like onlyfans clients.  CPC is great

A Confucian nation led for the past 70 years by a communist Party! What do you think that the Cultural Revolution did to Confucianism?!

 CPC has always said that the Cultural Revolution was an error, but an error from which China becomes greater than before. Errors are made to learn from them.

I love China because of it, i watch Cdramas only but i love everything about China
