I guess I'm not sure that China is only taking issue with monetizing gay content. Do we know for a fact that no one was arrested for straight content? I don't think any of the articles bothered to try to show that.

I also think "officials in China sometimes unevenly enforce their laws, and that uneven enforcement sometimes punishes queer people more heavily" is a bit different from "China is systematically imprisoning people for writing queer stories". It seems to me the truth in this instance is closer to the first than to the second, while the statement I first responded to, "[China is] putting queer fiction authors in prison", is closer to the second than the first.

I didn't mean to imply the latter as the former is what I understand the situation to be from previous discussion and reporting on the issue.
