If we actually tried to quantify how "illegal" ships were based on actual laws in our world, m/m would likely be one of, if not the most, illegal (regardless of how healthy/wholesome the ships actually were).

Yeah. "Stop shipping illegal ships! Oh well, there go my gays" (propaganda of homosexuality is forever funny to me despite the law itself being awful, by the way. Like, um. What? Reading about hot dudes will magically make me. Homosexual so in my case NOT into dudes? Logic isn't logicing)

you raise a good point. It reminded me of those women in China being arrested for writing gay stories :(

That sounds horrible! At least in Russia the strictness of law is somewhat compensated by the lack of fucks given. I mean, rainbow pins and stuff in public would be a bad idea, but the fandom part, aside from blocking sites and a bit of panic, is relatively unaffected.

That is also an interesting point of comparison! I've met both Chinese and Russian shippers in my current fandom/ship, it's always nice to see them considering the lengths they have to go through to interact.
