People who write homosexual content, be it porn or fluff, in countries that's want to purge that stuff are legendary.

[@covereddonuts1279]

I completely agree

[@LiaienSeita]

Well, being a follower of this genre for a decade, from what I saw online, if there was an imprisonment then it was because of monitising the release of porn material (SVSSS in this case), not because of just 'writing' it. This is considered crime in mainland China probably for quite some time (i mean, prostitution is also banned so kinda makes sense) so back then it was common for bl writers to post sensitive chapters only privately (via so called anonymous BBS, these days as Weibo posts/tweets) or somehow get the full book published in Taiwan instead where it was legal to do so. If done in Taiwan the language will be in traditional Chinese. But in SVSSS release that's in question, it's in simplified Chinese (I saw people trading this version so I know). Just some context that I'd like to share so people don't just jump to conclusions or get carried away by emotions. I'm not 'picking a side' and would not encourage anyone to do this. Thank you for reading.

[@TeasilaNova]

​@@LiaienSeita oh yeah, the classic "sex is a crime" talk about being lawfully kinkshamed. I'm not too familiar with countries' laws outside the USA but within the USA there has been quiet a few bigots/homophobas pushing back on LGBTQ+ to the point that some of them have been actively burning books with LGBTQ+ themes (thinking about it.. I wouldn't be surprised if prostitution would also be on that pile. since, most of them believe in the ideal of innocence: tbh innocence of knowledge is over rated because it makes children and adults more susceptible to manipulate and abuse) aside from book burnings there's even legislation in some states trying to bully LGBTQ+ youths into marriage and silence.

[@claritale_]

I only read SVSSS so far(the "binghe, qingqiu and qingge should all date each other" is a huge mood), but I'm at the beginning of MDZS right now :) So far it's not as good as I expected, but it probably gets better later (I think it's 2ha's fault actually, it was a masterpiece so my standards got very high). Currently obsessed with SVSSS's Shen Jiu

[@lilykep]

Just started book 5 of MDZS and it does get GOOD but it's a huge tonal shift from SVSSS. Way more angst and not nearly as much crack. I was *so lost* at the beginning of MDZS but by book 2 I was super invested. Shen Jiu is the saddest poor little meow meow.

[@alaskabane5340]

pls, I hate how split the fandom is on Jiang Cheng when every character had done shitty things naskfjsdbkhfs

[@aferalpeach2771]

@@alaskabane5340 Yeah, especially in Chinese fandom. It's either Jiang Cheng/Jiangs family bashing or Jiang Cheng/Jiangs family apologists, there's no in between. Some just ignore them and don't even care at all. There are lots of bashing along with apologists fanfics in the Chinese fandom, like, a lot. And they're just Nie/Lan >< Jin/Jiang, WangXian >< Jin/Jiang

[@alaskabane5340]

@@aferalpeach2771 pls, I personally find it so distasteful when people ignore everything BOTH characters have done. Like they are both not innocent babies and it annoys me when people make Wei Ying = good and Jiang Cheng = bad, or vice versa. Wei Ying have done shitty things, Jiang Cheng have done shitty things. They are close sworn brothers, and neither of them deserve the hate cause they were justified in their actions. Jiang Cheng didn't knew all the truth and Wei Ying didn't enlightened him, I hate how people expect them to be saints.

@@BingQilin true! It's interesting how this character cause such polarization in the community.

[@naru-bunny]

I fell in love with The Untamed, which in turn sparked my love for Danmei in general and just left me completely obsessed. Wanderers had me in a chokehold, and SVSSS IS MY EVERYTHING. Also, I live for bottom!Lan Wangji. The hole is vast and deep and I can't escape. I also started collecting the books. My poor wallet. 😭💕

[@alaskabane5340]

I am always so angry on behalf of Jiang Cheng, like how is this is a novel about mob mentality being harmful and yet we have fans shitting on one person alone? Like leave my poor angry baby grape alone, all the characters have flaws and they don't dogpile them.

[@alaskabane5340]

@@IceQueen975 no but fr fr, they have such rose tinted glasses that they refuse to see how Jiang Cheng was justified in doing shit he had done. Like if you get zero explanation, zero context, but suddenly your brother-in-law and sister dies? ALSO HE DIDN'T KILLED WWX ffs, both in novel and Live action.

[@blackkatdraws]

I was vibrating in laughter the whole video cuz a lot of this is something I've gone through in the fandom

[@oncerpotter3272]

I saw this video while I was listening to Xue Yang’s theme song from the Untamed 😂😂🤣 Perfect timing and I just got my psychical copy of SVSS volume 2 And can’t wait for the MDZS volume 2… Favourite character currently is Xue Yang… I love everyone else though… Another great video 😂😂❤️❤️😍👌

[@_Meretricious]

Honestly… SVSSS is somehow the most wholesome out all of the novels…

[@mollymijh15]

I’ve never related more to a video before! Especially 4:35, wangxian is literally everything I could ever want in a ship and yet here I am obsessing over Xiyao, a non-canon side ship

I have never ever finished reading a novel but BOI!!!! DID I NOT PUT MY PHONE DOWN WHEN I READ SVSSS! I love it so much!!! I laughed, cried, cringed and almost puked from the details. I'm slowly reading the 2 and am enjoying my life in Danmei Hell!!!! Once you go in, you can never go back. 😈😈😈

[@iroiro2434]

Among all mxtx's works, I knew tgcf first and loved the concept, then i found out about mdzs and svsss. I was like "yooo these have so many chapters i think I'm gonna read the one with the least chapters!!" So I went ahead and read svsss first. The outcome? I absolutely can't get over it I'm in love with that universe and it's world building 😭😭😭 currently waiting for season 2💀🙏

rewatching this after actually getting into the fandom is a trip 😂 i started out with mdzs and thought that would be my favorite but then svsss and its donghua went and smacked me in the face so uh. yeah. now i'm obsessed. should probably finish mdzs and actually read svsss instead of osmosising the latter 😂

[@btsarmyredeta482]

I love mxtx novels. But I stayed for tgcf... Hualian is my most favourite ship and they invented love for me. And Hua Cheng is my most favourite character of all time... But I love the other 2 too. They are amazingggg....

I’m currently reading Heaven Official’s Blessing so I’m intrigued and I’m laughing so hard 😂 I started reading the manhua and I was like “cool nice art, nice story” not obsessed with it….then I watched the donghua and….I fell down the rabbit hole. Lol

[@ayonixanimations]

3:08 Yup KDFJGHFDSJ 100% canon. Also the whole "What do all these letters mean" oh my god I FELT THAT. I still do. I got into the fandom like- two weeks ago??? When I tag surf on ao3 (picking a general tag, not caring about the fandom because the most popular fandoms to write about I know anyway) I saw MDZS ALL THE TIME, and I was like "What is with this random fandom I see pop up SO OFTEN that looks like it's in Chinese?" (I speak and read quite a bit of Japanese but it looked off so I knew it was Chinese, especially because of the accents on the English writings of names) And I decided, after seeing a random tumblr meme post on YT (It was a Jeaney Collects video) to surf that tumblr who posted it because I thought it was so funny. Turns out that tumblr is a huge MDZS fan and I saw them talk about it quite a lot. From a drama screenshot I was like "lemme look into this fandom" and did research on the different forms. April 21st, hadn't slept at all and it being noon I decided to start with the donghua- instead of sleeping -because the article I was reading mentions that the cdrama wasn't done yet and I didn't want to be in pain (the article was from when the cdrama started airing) and I like pretty animation. I binged that shit in two days (it was my b-day the 22nd so I couldn't give it the attention I wanted to). I immediately looked into the english translation for the novel and I eagerly await it's full release by this time next year so I can buy all 5 novels at once and binge the shit out of them. I just finished the manhua a few hours ago and am crying because it's not just the translation that's not done but the official release still has two more arcs to get through x-x. Now I'm just here suffering and I've been tempted to look at mxtx's other work but I'm also scared- this video just confirmed that fear X'D I'm not ready to be obsessed with another thing. I have so many fanfictions open that I stopped reading to randomly find this video.

[@jutnobb]

Nah man the censorship is my worse enemy like I waited 230+ chapters for the smut in the mdzs Manhua just to find out most of the websites I use has censorship on it or just skips it with white clouds glad I could search for the content I could find and btw like the whole video is like relatable even though I’m still stuck to the mdzs I’ll maybe move to read other novels but not now
