It is not the first time celebrities have publicly urged fans to stop online abuse, so why is this behaviour such a problem on China\u2019s social media platforms?&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Sun tried to cover the screen with her hands, but the nasty picture was still seen between her fingers. A blurred image with a similar face and indecent suggestion, the comments under the picture were all the accusations of sex work about her favourite idol.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Restrained the discomfort of seeing the picture, Sun recorded this Weibo post\u2019s link quickly, she has taken on the task of cleaning up the social media channels of her favourite idol, Liu Yu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe horrifying pictures, bogus pornographic photos and unendurable swearing, these are the things I see all the time when I open the links\u201d, said Sun, 23-year-old and working in Shanghai.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sun is a super-fan of Liu Yu, the leader of the Chinese boy band INTO1, who have over four million followers on Sina Weibo, the social platform equivalent of Twitter in China. As an important platform that Liu Yu can promote his public image, Weibo was filled with fake information and abuse against him, it really hit Sun hard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"780\" height=\"439\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/life360\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2021\/10\/\u7a3f\u5b9a\u8bbe\u8ba1-5.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-10252\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/life360\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2021\/10\/\u7a3f\u5b9a\u8bbe\u8ba1-5.png 780w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/life360\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2021\/10\/\u7a3f\u5b9a\u8bbe\u8ba1-5-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/life360\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2021\/10\/\u7a3f\u5b9a\u8bbe\u8ba1-5-770x433.png 770w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/life360\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2021\/10\/\u7a3f\u5b9a\u8bbe\u8ba1-5-293x165.png 293w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 780px) 100vw, 780px\" \/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"780\" height=\"439\" src=\"https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/life360\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2021\/10\/\u7a3f\u5b9a\u8bbe\u8ba1-5.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-10252\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/life360\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2021\/10\/\u7a3f\u5b9a\u8bbe\u8ba1-5.png 780w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/life360\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2021\/10\/\u7a3f\u5b9a\u8bbe\u8ba1-5-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/life360\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2021\/10\/\u7a3f\u5b9a\u8bbe\u8ba1-5-770x433.png 770w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/life360\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2021\/10\/\u7a3f\u5b9a\u8bbe\u8ba1-5-293x165.png 293w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 780px) 100vw, 780px\" \/><\/noscript><figcaption>In the group photo of Chinese boy band INTO1, the boy standing in the middle is Yu Liu, who got the first in talent show Chuang 2021 and is the captain of this band.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;At first I was scared by the sudden appearance of horrifying images or angry at the maliciously faked photos, but now I&#8217;m numb to them,&#8221; said Sun. However, helped her idol maintain his public image doesn&#8217;t make her feel fulfilled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI used to think that following celebrities would make me stronger, but actually I feel more vulnerable inside,\u201d said Sun. Many times, Sun think about giving up and leaving fan group, but as she had put in so much time and effort, she persuade herself to support Liu Yu a little longer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On Weibo, abusive behaviour not only exists between fans and anti-fans but also happens in different fan groups. As of August, more than 166 celebrities posted statements on Weibo for calling on fans to stop online abuse. However, there are still some fans who make offensive comments on Weibo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAs a public figure who is loved by audiences, it is my responsibility to bring positive guidance to everyone, and I must reflect on myself deeply about the impact of this incident,\u201d said Liying Zhao, a famous actress in China who has 90 million followers on Weibo, was apologizing for her fans&#8217; aggressive action online.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In August, because of abusing on Weibo massively, some of Linying Zhao\u2019s fan groups were banned to post, including her official studio\u2019s account and a super-fans account with more than two million fans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"780\" height=\"439\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/life360\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2021\/10\/\u7a3f\u5b9a\u8bbe\u8ba1-1.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-10253\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/life360\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2021\/10\/\u7a3f\u5b9a\u8bbe\u8ba1-1.png 780w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/life360\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2021\/10\/\u7a3f\u5b9a\u8bbe\u8ba1-1-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/life360\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2021\/10\/\u7a3f\u5b9a\u8bbe\u8ba1-1-770x433.png 770w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/life360\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2021\/10\/\u7a3f\u5b9a\u8bbe\u8ba1-1-293x165.png 293w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 780px) 100vw, 780px\" \/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"780\" height=\"439\" src=\"https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/life360\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2021\/10\/\u7a3f\u5b9a\u8bbe\u8ba1-1.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-10253\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/life360\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2021\/10\/\u7a3f\u5b9a\u8bbe\u8ba1-1.png 780w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/life360\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2021\/10\/\u7a3f\u5b9a\u8bbe\u8ba1-1-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/life360\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2021\/10\/\u7a3f\u5b9a\u8bbe\u8ba1-1-770x433.png 770w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/life360\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2021\/10\/\u7a3f\u5b9a\u8bbe\u8ba1-1-293x165.png 293w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 780px) 100vw, 780px\" \/><\/noscript><figcaption>This is an apology statement from Liying Zhao after some of her fans and official studio&#8217;s Weibo accounts were punished.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Zhao\u2019s fans don\u2019t want her to cooperate again on a TV series with Yibo Wang, a famous Chinese actor, so they attempted to cause flame wars on Weibo. \u201cIt is better to make a big deal out of it!\u201d, \u201cThe more chaos, the better, so that studio can see our fans\u2019 attitude.\u201d Then Zhao\u2019s fans started verbal aggression with Wang\u2019s fans, abused each other online.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Under the supervision of the Cyberspace Administration of China (CAC) and \u201cQing Lang Organization\u201d, about two thousand Weibo accounts were closed, two thousand accounts were banned to post on this issue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It was not the first time that CAC and governmental media warn against online abuse caused by celebrities and their fans. But why does this phenomenon keep happening?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThis is because there is too much bad competition and too many different kinds of charts,\u201d said Ning Zheng, the director of Cultural Rule of Law Research Center. As a \u201cXiu Fan\u201d which means people who support their favourite idols from trainees to debut in some programs such as \u201cChuang 2021\u201d and \u201cYouth with You\u201d, Sun thinks the unfair competitions and falsified charts exacerbate the deterioration of the online environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIf we investigated the development of Chinese fan culture, I think that in 2018 the development of entertainment industry has entered a new period. The symbol was the emergence of debut shows such as \u2018Chuang\u2019 and \u2018Youth with You\u2019,\u201d added Ning Zheng.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"780\" height=\"439\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/life360\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2021\/10\/\u7a3f\u5b9a\u8bbe\u8ba1-4.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-10254\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/life360\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2021\/10\/\u7a3f\u5b9a\u8bbe\u8ba1-4.png 780w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/life360\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2021\/10\/\u7a3f\u5b9a\u8bbe\u8ba1-4-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/life360\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2021\/10\/\u7a3f\u5b9a\u8bbe\u8ba1-4-770x433.png 770w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/life360\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2021\/10\/\u7a3f\u5b9a\u8bbe\u8ba1-4-293x165.png 293w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 780px) 100vw, 780px\" \/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"780\" height=\"439\" src=\"https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/life360\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2021\/10\/\u7a3f\u5b9a\u8bbe\u8ba1-4.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-10254\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/life360\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2021\/10\/\u7a3f\u5b9a\u8bbe\u8ba1-4.png 780w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/life360\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2021\/10\/\u7a3f\u5b9a\u8bbe\u8ba1-4-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/life360\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2021\/10\/\u7a3f\u5b9a\u8bbe\u8ba1-4-770x433.png 770w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/life360\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2021\/10\/\u7a3f\u5b9a\u8bbe\u8ba1-4-293x165.png 293w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 780px) 100vw, 780px\" \/><\/noscript><figcaption>This is the group photo of all trainees in the talent show Chuang 2021, a show where only eleven trainees were eventually able to debut.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>These two programs are modelled on a Korean show called \u201cProduce101\u201d. The show will select 100 trainees and only 11 of them will debut from the program and organize a temporary male band for about one year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since the beginning of the program, fans have been voting for the trainees they support, helped them to have higher rankings in various charts. The fierce competition and a limited number of debuts make every vote count, fans were also becoming more extreme in their behaviour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Because of the limited number of free votes, fans had to buy the products of the sponsor, a kind of milk drink, with a QR code for voting printed inside the cap, to get extra votes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Most of the online fan clubs have opted for collecting money, in that way fans can transfer money to the fan club and the staffs in the fan club are responsible for buying milk drinks and voting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The show ran for up to three months, the fan clubs of some popular trainees can end up raising tens of millions of yuan. In the case of \u201cChuang 2021\u201d, the show where INTO1 debuted, the fans of the final 11 trainees raised a total of 150 million yuan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe put so much time and money into the trainees we support, we don&#8217;t allow any rivals to overtake us,\u201d said Sun. \u201cOnce we found out that the vote was exceeded, we started to suspect that the fan club didn\u2019t use our money in the right way, or the rivals were cheating on vote figure,\u201d added Sun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If the fan groups or the rivals can\u2019t show the details of the vote, then some fans will swear at the fan club, other trainees, even the program to fight for a fair outcome. \u201cBut at the end, I&#8217;m not sure if the trainees are competing or we fans are competing,\u201d said Sun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cArguing on Weibo is not the thing we would like to do, but the situation on Weibo seems to be that the louder we scream, we look more justified,\u201d said Sun. As a super-fan, she can totally understand why some of Liying Zhao&#8217;s fans must cause quarrels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"780\" height=\"439\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/life360\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2021\/10\/\u7a3f\u5b9a\u8bbe\u8ba1-2.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-10255\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/life360\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2021\/10\/\u7a3f\u5b9a\u8bbe\u8ba1-2.png 780w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/life360\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2021\/10\/\u7a3f\u5b9a\u8bbe\u8ba1-2-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/life360\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2021\/10\/\u7a3f\u5b9a\u8bbe\u8ba1-2-770x433.png 770w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/life360\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2021\/10\/\u7a3f\u5b9a\u8bbe\u8ba1-2-293x165.png 293w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 780px) 100vw, 780px\" \/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"780\" height=\"439\" src=\"https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/life360\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2021\/10\/\u7a3f\u5b9a\u8bbe\u8ba1-2.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-10255\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/life360\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2021\/10\/\u7a3f\u5b9a\u8bbe\u8ba1-2.png 780w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/life360\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2021\/10\/\u7a3f\u5b9a\u8bbe\u8ba1-2-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/life360\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2021\/10\/\u7a3f\u5b9a\u8bbe\u8ba1-2-770x433.png 770w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/life360\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2021\/10\/\u7a3f\u5b9a\u8bbe\u8ba1-2-293x165.png 293w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 780px) 100vw, 780px\" \/><\/noscript><figcaption>This is an official statement issued by Sina Weibo.

But she doubts the lasting impact of this operation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt seems that fans don&#8217;t offend each other anymore, but in fact, they have grievances in their hearts, when the \u2018Qing Lang\u2019 operation is over, the online aggressive behaviour will slowly emerge again,\u201d added Sun. She thinks that without a complete shutdown of some charts and shows that encourage fans to engage in vicious competition, the online abuse will continue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In September, the National Radio and Television Administration stated that all the platforms have to stop recording idol debut programmes and control the voting process strictly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe class=\"zeen-lazy-load-base zeen-lazy-load\" title=\"What is Cyber Abuse?\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" src=\"about:blank\" data-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/eSq8kXbrWNs?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><noscript><iframe title=\"What is Cyber Abuse?\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/eSq8kXbrWNs?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/noscript>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Why is fans offensive behaviour such a problem on China\u2019s social media platforms?\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":609,"featured_media":10256,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-10226","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-uncategorised"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.2 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Cyber abuse: Why are celebrity fans on social media always behave aggressively?
