we should let computers make noises again, they've been silent on idle for too damn long! Bring back the beeps, whirs, and fancy blinking lights. Let computers still use modern components, but let them have the lights or something to replicate the noise a HDD makes when it's doing it's thing I beg

Police in China arrest female authors of homosexual novels in crackdown on 'boys love' fiction genre.

July 12, 2025

Female writers have been summoned by police for posting and sharing homosexual romance stories online, in a widespread crackdown on the "boys love" genre in China.

If convicted, they could be subjected to detention, financial penalties or even prison sentences. Many of the targeted writers published their work on Haitang, a Taiwanese website popular with fans of boys love fiction — a genre that features romantic relationships between male characters, often depicting sex scenes.

Three lawyers, representing some of the writers, also posted about the crackdown, noting the scale of action has been widespread, with estimates that at least 100 writers have been affected.

Mr Zhang said authorities may have restarted the crackdown on boys love fiction because it was seen as unfavourable to China's new policies in raising fertility rates.

After decades of forcing Chinese couples to limit themselves to just one child, Beijing has now reversed course and is urging people to have more babies.

"Officials may think that these cases can eliminate the social influence [of homosexual love stories] and give young people a more 'positive' sexual orientation, and in a way promote fertility rates," he said. Mr Zhang explained that China's fertility rates were dropping and many young people were opting out of marriage.

Despite this, he believes China's law on digitally obscene content should be updated to reflect the new social reality.

its crazy that a lot of what we call 'video essays' these days are basically low budget documentaries on increasingly weird and niche topics. no network approval no tv budget just one guy with maybe a hired editor/writer and a couple of friends willing to read voice lines. and then they put it on youtube like its no big deal. insane.
