“Porn is inherently fascist” is a sentiment that has been both expressed and significantly upvoted here on Hexbear before the mods got it for SWERFism.
Porn is not inherently fascist, though. The way that pornography exists as an industry in our current time is exploitative and fascist, because we live in a fascist/capitalist society.
Im of the belief that pornography for the purpose of sexual gratification has basically always existed in some form or another. Fascist country creates fascist porn.
I do think 10 years is quite excessive but I also think western media would lie about that so I’m going to assume that with good behavior and reform they’d probably actually be out in much less than half that.
Secondly I don’t presume that this was per se special punishment because of the orientation, non-hetero nature of the works and that the law provides for the same for straight works. I admit there are likely problems with selective enforcement as with any law like this that runs into existing societal biases and prejudices so I think that would be another argument in favor of leniency but again I don’t really believe that sentencing is necessarily accurate or the whole story.
Thirdly we don’t know all the details about the ages of the characters or any aggravating factors about the content or the nature of payments or whatever.
You don’t have a problem with sentencing people to 10 years in prison for writing and selling gay smut?

Even half a year in prison for something that small is absolutely barbaric
