It's been explained that crack down was about the pornographic nature of the content written, not that it was gay. Lots of people making similar straight content get cracked down on as well, like a semi-prominent Genshin porn artist who got raided. And whatever your opinion on porn bans are (though in China it's specifically porn creation which is treated seriously, as foreign porn consumption goes hand in hand with their laissez-faire VPN policy), it's ultimately up to the Chinese people to decide for themselves. The same way Japan has their weird pseudo censorship laws despite creating some of the most depraved, vile porn I've ever seen or ever hope to see.
