Yaoi and Danmei: now it can get you arrested in China

China has been arresting young women in their Twenties who write gay erotica - danmei. It's been around for years in Japan as yaoi (BL) without incident. As BBC writers put it (here):

Haitang and danmei have flourished as uniquely female spaces, although they centre male protagonists. In a culture where female sexual desire is routinely policed, danmei became a coded, creative outlet - a space where women can write about female desire for other women.

A yaoi plot summary for Selfish Love: "Ryuya had hoped to make it through his high class university with little to no contact with the snobbish rich students, but when the President of the Honors Society decides to chase him down for the vice president's position, Ryuya doesn't know what to do. Especially when the president can't seem to keep his hands to himself."

An example of a popular danmei: "Grandmaster of Demonic Cultivation follows several interwoven stories: two parallel tales recounting the events of Wei Wuxian's past and present lives, the investigation of the mystery behind a fierce dismembered entity presently terrorizing the cultivation world, and the development of the novel's central love story between Wei Wuxian and Lan Wangji, his former classmate and fellow cultivator."
