Rather than start a new thread I thought I'd put this here since it is at least partially related. Despite the signs, I didn't make the connection that pr0n is illegal in Mainland China, and there have been some goings on with that recently.
HicceArs has been in "maintenance mode" for like a month, and only just came back the other day. There's a statement on the homepage about some Mainland-residing people who were publishing on there having been arrested. They claim it wasn't because of LGBT content, I've heard also that child porn was involved (real or not is unclear), but given that it's China, we'll never really know anyway.
All that is to say, if Code's stuff wound up on a directly China-accessible website, I can understand the extreme reaction of pulling all your content, because yeah...
A bit of coverage on the matter at the URL below. (I don't like linking to r/KotakuInAction, but they are seemingly the only ones who have mentioned this event in my limited searchings.)
