The content produced by Shirakami is illegal in China, so his arrest was already expected. However, the arrest occurred because he was profiting through a crowdfunding platform, Patreon . Therefore, it seems he obtained significant financial gains on Patreon before the authorities discovered it.

According to Chinese law, the production, duplication, or sale of pornographic material for profit is a serious crime. Depending on the severity of the situation, prison sentences range from three years to life imprisonment. As soon as the issue reached Japanese forums, many people were perplexed by the case.

Check out the comments from the Japanese:

  • Does China not allow pornography?
  • Do you think something like this will help increase the birth rate? It's baseless.
  • In Japan, you can produce this type of content and even make money from it.

Genshin Impact is a free-to-play action role-playing video game developed and published by miHoYo. The game features an open-world fantasy setting and an action-based battle system using elemental energy points and character switching.
