Gotta tell you guys something wild in the Chinese fan sphere
So some fanartist drew a βsexyβ (read: booby) version of a (cartoon) character who is traditionally very non-sexualised. Fans of the character got mad about it because itβs kind of groundbreaking how that character is written and portrayed and this art totally ignores the entire point of the character. They demanded the art be deleted. In response to that other people said, well what the fanartist did may be distasteful but they have every right to draw what theyβre into. The two sides fight for days and each starts a harassment campaign and even report their βopponentsββ accounts.
So far so typical. But things eventually come to a head and they decide that this will be settled by votes - not through a poll. Through donations to a childrenβs education charity via each sideβs portal. Whoever can get the highest amount of donation wins.
And that is how this charity received over 1 million in donations in three days lol. Oh btw the βfreedom of expressionβ side won by a landslide (960k to 40k)
