Since April 2025, Chinese authorities have been cracking down on the Danmei (Boys’ Love) community, arresting over 30 writers for posting boys love stories online.

I'm curious as to how this affects overseas sales of novels, especially for ones as popular as MXTX novels. Based on this, does it mean she can't actually receive the money she earns abroad? I'm just worried for her, and many others of course. Stay hidden fam! 2 reply
