Gotta tell you guys something wild in the Chinese fan sphere
So some fanartist drew a āsexyā (read: booby) version of a (cartoon) character who is traditionally very non-sexualised. Fans of the character got mad about it because itās 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 distateful but they have every right to draw what theyāre into. The two sides fight for days and each starts a harassment campaign and even report their āopponentsāā 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 childrenās education charity via each sideās 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 āfreedom of expressionā side won by a landslide (960k to 40k)
