The point of debate is not about self-censuring in order to get bankrolled, the point is about contesting using the law to actually coerce someone from creating what they want, which is what China does, and the potential influence of that mentality onto our culture (and the slippery slope to law).
- vkou 7y agoYes, it is. It is exactly that. It's just that phrasing the issue as: "My artistic freedom to make whatever art I want, AND to make millions of dollars in China is being infringed upon by China's domestic policies." Doesn't sound particularly noble... The law does not compel you to censor your art. This self-censorship is driven by greed, not legislature. If you aren't interested in selling in China, their laws on speech have no impact on you.
