Somewhere in the world, some guy might think being a porn censor is the best job in the world. Sitting around and watching porn all day may look good on paper to some, but according to an actual Chinese government porn watchdog, the job is sickening.
Censorship is a big part of what makes China tick. The news media is censored. Social media is censored. The internet is censored. Porn, of course, is definitely censored in the Middle Kingdom.
To make sure that whatever ends up being censored is something that really needs to be censored, China hires armies and armies of keyboard warriors. Just last year there was an advertisement put out by Chinese officials for a porn watching officer.
According to China’s central news agency, Xinhua, 59-year-old professional porn watcher Liu Chunqi has been deciding what’s pornography and what isn’t over the last five years. Liu says some of what he’s seen during that time has curdled his stomach.
