Fascinating field notes from genuinely one of the most contested and policed spaces of public expression and art, slash fanfiction. The Chinese example here is well-observed, but to a large extent it happens here in Southeast Asia as well to varying degrees (e.g. IP bans of known fandom-heavy spaces are common)
@whatshisays it’s really interesting how this is seen as subversive behaviour, basically, but not enough for an outright ban
@cendawanita idunno for sure because I don’t go there to keep track of these accounts, though I think by now it should be obvious that the average nonconforming individual is pretty accustomed to moving around.
