'Every word has come back to haunt me': China cracks down on women who write gay erotica

Obsessions with "TAnKies" is very much a reddit / lemmy thing, or at least internet slang.
Before 2010 it was mostly used to mean "actual tank fighters".
Nope, that’s been used for decades you are just seeing the limitations of google’s tools as it happened in places they do not index

Prove it
The term continued to be used into the 1980s, especially in relation to the split between the reform-minded eurocommunist wing of the CPGB and the traditionalist, pro-Soviet group, the latter continuing to be labelled tankies. The term is sometimes used within the Labour Party as slang for a politically old-fashioned leftist. Alastair Campbell reported a conversation about modernising education, in which Tony Blair said: "I'm with George Walden on selection." Campbell recalled: "DM [David Miliband] looked aghast ... [Blair] said when it came to education, DM and I were just a couple of old tankies."[26] In 2015, Boris Johnson referred to Jeremy Corbyn and the left wing of the Labour Party as "tankies and trots", the latter referring to Trotskyism.[27][b]
Used by great people like tony blair and bobo the clown lmao

All the posts I read were defending or excusing it.
Applying nuance and researching more context instead of jerking off while grunting "china bad authoritarianism" isnt defending or excusing. You're just annoyed they dont join your circlejerk.

We get it, the ussr sent tanks in the 80ies. Your country sent tanks half a dozen time since then, idiot. There are tanks doing genocide right now in gaza.

As much as I like to stan China for how they treat their billionaires and corporations, this is wrong. Sex work, in all its forms, is a valid, lucrative, and old line of work across the world. China is one of the most developed nations on Earth. They should also be the most progressive when it comes to this. Smh
Weirdly they are more progressive when it comes to prostitution; prostitution isnt illegal, but soliciting it is.

Use of the expression to discredit or deflect a claim of wrongdoing by attacking the originator of the claim for their own similar behaviour (rather than acknowledging the guilt of both) is the tu quoque logical fallacy.

No, there isn’t. Anyone claiming to support the liberation of the working classes while praising authoritarian systems that are cracking down on those populations looking for freedom are hypocrites.
It’s weird you would make this about geographic location. Are you doing that because you don’t have a valid critique?

The thing is in your westoid brain, "praising authoritarian systems" just means "not wanting to bomb iran".

So you are only capable of ad hominem discussions? That really speaks to your intellectual skills.
You know you can just be opposed to authoritarianism. Most decent folk are.

They should also be the most progressive
The tankie government that denies Tiananmen Square doesn't have much regard for individual rights?

More like porn is illegal, just like in half the US. Give it two years we'll hear much worse about gay erotica artists being arrested in Texas and held without trial

It's not whataboutism to tell the pot to shut the fuck up when it's calling the kettle black
WAHHHHH THE (non atrocity causing civilians of) COUNTRIES THAT COMMIT ATROCITIES ARE CALLING OUT MY TEAM AND I FEEL MORALLY OBLIGATED TO DEFEND MY TEAM FOR THEIR ATROCITIES.

it's valid to support some policies in some places without it making you a fervant supporter of everything that state does.
like I love how china actually invests in infrastructure, including housing and public transit and walkable cities.
I dont like what they do in Taiwan and Hong Kong.
