#bjyx are antis in disguise

[jowi8597]

There are many bjyx accounts (mainly on X) who spread a lie about Dapeng unfollowing Yibo in the past! This is false!! Dapeng didn't follow Yibo's Weibo until August 2024! - he wished Yibo a happy birthday and then they both followed each other!

I don't understand the reason why they spread such falsehoods. Do they want to create misunderstandings before the GRA ceremony? 🤔

About Internet Water Army in the case

This is an ongoing update about the case from start to development. List of all related posts can be found on this blog's pinned post (link provided at bottom of each post as well).

19 August 2021 update: Added the scale of his success for reference, before bonus below

18 August 2021 update: Added timeline of events, orange title in post, found out the official English term for Immoral Media = Internet Water Army)

Major updates since first draft: Added bonus, added disclaimer, certain info details

Originally posted on 16 August 2021

[The purpose of this post is to provide a perspective as to why the Media is raised/blamed regarding the issue. Especially for international fans, as all the encounters happened on Weibo. Also, those who were on weibo, do read through if you will. So although it's lengthy, do try to read all, at least if not the last two parts].

The Media referred by most, is not the common perception of the Entertainment Industry (celebrities, directors, shows, channels, staff etc), but the dark side of the Entertainment industry: Antis, toxic fans, toxic marketing accounts. They are called Internet Water Army💧.

Toxic Marketing Accounts is one of the things they do, these accounts on Weibo has millions of followers, each of their post likes are in the hundred thousands (buyable) to give credibility to passer-bys. Some use similar names to Official accounts, some use similar logos. Their posts are usually subjective or aims to steer view points of a certain celebrity/movie/show. Before the latest update of this post (18.08.21), I just group them all together and term them as Immoral Media*.

*Below is my original post using my original term because at point of first draft, I did not know the official term (so have changed/added the term from Immoral Media to Internet Water Army in content below but retain the content based off first draft).

If you have chased before celebrities, or just simply passed by an article about certain celebrities, recall how some title that caught your attentions were like. Clickbaits is one of the many things they do. If GZ is your first and you do not have Weibo, then this read(link) is good enough.

Just as the term Immoral Media (Internet Water Army), it’s immoral and unethical, but they exists because they are paid to do so. Who pays them? Entertainment Companies, and maybe other Organisations

Normal Media/Marketing vs Immoral Media/Toxic Marketing/Internet Water Army

When a show or movie comes out, the normal Marketing department will generate outreach and buzz so that people know a show is airing soon/know the show exists etc. Official announcements are not enough, because there isn’t much context (limited content to put up as well) so having some other Marketing accounts do the buzz in a planned period to gain awareness through posts, some articles about the casts, the plot summary, the production details etc is normal. This is Marketing, bigger companies will probably have stronger Marketing departments (aka influence) and can hire more Marketing accounts to generate buzz. Celebrities (aka casts) themselves, are also Marketing point.

Then we have the Internet Water Army/Immoral Media, these are what they mainly do:

Create Fanfiction-rumors: Creating rumors about celebrities to shift audience perception of them. [eg. XX was seen with XX leaving a hotel, XX was drunk on Event Y and did ZZZ to AA, XX is dating BB and has been in a relationship for N years etc]

Honing their brain degrading skills: Come up with titled clickbait headings/ trending topics with negative written contents. For articles, exceptionally out of heading content related to the celebrity. [Refer to Baidu, it’s a winner of these, feel free to Google Translate]

Regressing their common sense and understanding skills: Take everything a celebrity does completely out of context in a negative way and create a topic out of it [eg. XX said AA is a ---, “XX raised his finger, a sign of ---?”, XX pushed BB aggressively on Variety Show Y - A competition variety show, XX is in beef with CC because XX was caught giving CC the eye]

Using their fingers to stir shit and bathe each other in it: Escalate all smallest form of possible tension created by fans/themselves into a huge thing by acting as the fandom's fans/lurk in fandom chat groups, and voicing their disguised opinion to spread tension/exaggerate severity of the issue [eg. XX fans mocked AA - in groupchats: tbh I've never liked AA before, AA just gives off a vibe that I dont like and now this? It just disgusts me even more > Yea, i feel this way too. AA has problems / XX Lurkers expressing views on XX about NN, slowly to NNMHFXW - XX did NNMHGT - I cannot accept NNmHfHw, I'm leaving = multiply by 1000++]

Epitome of a self-deteriorate: Creating something out of nothing and react to that something negatively to gain massive attention/reaction [eg. “XX raised his hand on show Y” - dk what XX fans are thinking, are they literally blind? XX fans are tasteless just like XX hahaha / “XX did community service” - they are acting / “XX breathed” - From the start, i thought XX was NN, but I am so ZZZ that XX breathed. Goodbye fandom, i’m leaving. Those who still want to stay I urge you to rethink your life choices] - if I may add, Xiao Zhan’s fanfiction case as well. 

Metaphor - Ability to use bare hands to collect paychecks from the urinal/toilet bowl where their boss/client peed in: Doing all of the above.

Apologies for any term offense, but not apologetic of the term context. This is what they do for a living. Any normal human being who do not like anything, will generally not be interested at anything about it in the first place, so to have some antis/toxic fans knowing certain things and inside jokes/references in their posts questions their goal.

On involved in Internet Water Army/Immoral Media 💧

Fans on weibo during these few months witnessed many of the above on GZ. From rumored girlfriend (spammed with articles) to mean and nasty comments on trending topics, to bouts of insults and fake emotional cryouts by certain fan accounts that GZ's office has to release a number of Lawyer’s letter to them. 

Aside from WOH there were also a few other BL adaptation films that were actually released this year but they did not reach exponential success like WOH. BL adaptations are so highly followed by because this is the key to wealth. Literally. Successful BLs like The Untamed and  Dao Mu Bi Ji saw the amount of wealth fans are willing to spend on the celebrity as compared to say BG or idols (younger fan groups). This is why when WOH shot up exponentially, Immoral Media start to sweat.

Major anticipated adaptations were supposed to air this year eg. Hao Yi Xing(HYX), Sha Po Lang(SPL) etc but was severely held back due to the stricter change in BL adaptations submitting their scripts for approval regulations (WOH manage to submit earlier before the change). Because of this, most final films were rejected and they have to keep re-editing, by then WOH was already months into reaping tonnes of major brand endorsements, shows/movie casting, variety show appearances etc, something that is seen as too successful in the Immoral Media’s eyes, because they have to create buzz for other celebrities, some are specific celebrity oriented and thus circulate rumors about having endorsement opportunities shifted from celebrity X to GZ (think fanfiction-rumors and shit stirrer) causes tension in celebrity fandoms. - A real event just in July:

The Untamed’s cp fandom is called BJYX which had always been in the Top 1 of Cps for 2 years dropped for awhile to Top 2, over taken by LLD. Both of them had a war and hated each fandom, one fandom is somehow not allowed to like the other fandom even casually after everything broke out because it started out with some BJYX toxics photoshopped GZ on of portraits .

Also another case of which he wore the same costume as WYB did in a previous photoshoot and it became a useless comparison of who wore better, who looks better, degrading the other. (Finger stirring shit).

Now apply all of the above things the Internet Water Army do and we have them earning money, while both fandom reacts and hate each other.

In LLD, our own fans started suspecting each other on who is a spy from BJYX and what not.

The first few months of Internet Water Army saw LLDs mostly mocking them because the average age is 30-40s, they know and see through all of their intentions so nothing was big. They were trumpeting and LLDs didn’t even care, what with all the doing tedious stats was not even important to them.

Over time, as the issues they create became more and more serious LLDs did start to care, reporting Toxic Marketing accounts/toxic fans became a daily task, go vote for GZ at certain polls etc, solo fans, and LLD fans also split apart. Solo fans think cp fans use GZ to furnish their fantasies, and cp fans thinks they are the ones furnishing their dreaming-girls fantasy with (aka my boyfriend).

There was also a period where LLD had a habit of continuously mentioning “we are in the 30-40s so we can see through everything about the media, we are all fans for the first time, we are good at spending money (because of purchase power compared to other fandoms)” it was prevalent for so long it felt odd, ‘chasing celebrities the first time’ in particular sounds more vulnerable as a weakness than a strength / sth to be proud of.

Gradually, more secretive/insider confirmed ‘sweets’ were flying around. Fans advised each other to not circulate, and the mindset of “if you know, you know, dont tell.” (This is a problematic mentality, of which fans will still be curious to know and search for it themselves, but this secretive hook is unhealthy. Over the long term, it becomes hard for existing fans to know a lot of things properly to judge for themselves, especially those who knew and publicly reacted, but blasting those who ask and telling those who know to keep quiet, this did not help some to understand why on certain things, even so for international fans, dont know and dont understand, causing misunderstandings. Yes, certain information should not be shared, so why should you react about it publicly in the first place? - Internet Water Army effect)

The last few months (for example the July fan war) created a tonne of seriousness and anger. A period even broke out with a tonne of ‘insider confirmed sweets’ (which is LLD’s daily dose of happiness), it was hard to tell what was real and what was fake. Trending topics became negative and everyone warned each other not to enter because it will give the trends ‘views’ and trend statistics, in reality entering there is to enter an exhibition by the self-deteriorates, collecting the fandom's traffic data (it's a sure lose for fans each time they enter the topic). Everyone even starts thinking that the trend’s popularity was caused by each other (it's true but it can be bought daily and not caused by fans). There was a raise in the number of fans who were getting emotional because they want to protect but Internet Water Army kept coming and got worse, because fans, tbh, not just GZ fans, every other celebrity’s fans are always fighting with an Army, getting played and plotted in that Army's calendar.

Even so, despite all of these, LLD is actually a fandom Internet Water Army may find the hardest to break because they understand GZ so much, they could tell what are fake news regarding GZ, because among everything above, there are still plenty of logical fans to stop many fans from drifting too far and debunking them. Why? 30-40s are grown up adults.

Why 13.8.21 and the Japan issue is plotted?

First of all, in the political climate of China, there are many political dates in a month that is NO-Entertainment news. Because it’s the honoring of certain important political events. It’s like Remembrance Day, thus the sensitivity is higher. On these days, there are usually no news and even the Internet Water Army zip their pants. This year also marks the 100th year of the Chinese Communist Party(link)

Secondly, he had no work schedule on 13 August 2021. A great full day to focus on any other news (because if he had schedules, everyone will turn their attention to his events, what trumpeting outside is just bird chirps). 

Thirdly, when the news broke out, especially about the shrine, the reception was actually quite serious within the fandom so the scale of this might be big but to what extent in reality?

Lastly, 15.8.21 marks the 76th anniversary of the announcement of surrender of Japanese in World War 2(link). Also a day of NO-Entertainment news. 

Timeline of events:

13.8.21 - [His rest day, Eve of Chinese Valentine's Day, Japan News broke out] His rest day, no schedules = increased attention about him online. Lowered guard among fans because they are getting ready for tomorrow's Chinese Valentine's sweets = Caught off guard = Huge break out of fans' reactions

14.8.21 - [Chinese Valentine's Day, Eve of the 75th Anniversary of the announcement of Japanese surrender] Keep a wishful and happy demenaor to not destroy the mood, suppressed thoughts about ZZH's Japan news

15.8.21 - [75th Anniversary of the announcement of Japanese surrender, Official announcement of ZZH's boycott and all China social media account ban] NO-Entertainment news day, Solemn day, not allowed to voice anything so the fandom can only wait for tomorrow to start voicing out/debunking but before they can wait out, the boycott and social media ban happened, every official accounts about him was gone overnight, fans had no time to react

17.8.21 - [All official fandom accounts related to ZZH and JunZhe were locked/removed]

Forced to be silent since the day his matter broke out, over the course of official news release with everything taken down in a day because of the Japan correspondence, his accounts banned overnight across the Chinese media and the overnight cancellation, fans could not speak anything about it. Overnight cancellation like this scale happened for the first time in China, leaving no time to react by the fandom, by the time they can, they are silenced.

When the period of events occured within a set of special dates, it’s not coincidence.

Conclusion

Because he was too successful and had many actually honorable past things, and a hard to influence fandom, Internet Water Army view him as a huge threat enough to want to destroy him, because it’s hard to defeat. With a chance they have, they will hold it till the end, bringing up this issue to the Government during this period also shows a sign of how scared they were of him and perhaps his fandom to plot something like this.

Updated on 19 August: Here's a screenshot of assumed calculation on the scale of GZ success for reference while chatting with a fellow fan, assuming GJ also has 27 brands, and there are 1000 brands. Rationale of numbers used: Only big brands can hire big celebrities.

Bonus

Mentioned in the first post, will mention again in case. After the news broke out within 2 days, there was a drop on his weibo followers from 18.9mil to 18.7mil. 200k+ drops, if the politics was such a big national issue, there should at least be a huge drop, even at least a million right? Because weibo is a China-Chinese majority right? Nope, we get a puny 200k drop.

What's funny? The self-deteroriates:

Translation: "Are his fans bought? Why didnt he drop fans? Those people got brainwashed to this point?" / "I've never entered his weibo and today i feel like having a look yet it showed I've followed him. All his fans were bought right? It disgusts me, i immediately unfollowed. This kind of process is worse than WYF..." / "i dropped fans because of him...no...I just reposted 2 posts and I've dropped 4 fans?"

Isn't the tone and regressing brain cells, all too familiar and same?

Added above, will remind again to read this link. It has an even more in-depth knowledge on who are paying them.

A summary of Hengdian rumour and bjyx responsibility

Let's make a quick summary of the recent events. On 18/02/2024 one of the bxgs spread the rumour about Yibo's location based on Douyin app's bug and this made a basis to link Yibo's name to a very horrible and dangerous rumours about AI/DS infection. On 20/02/2024 Yuehua made a statement that they filed a report to police about this slander.

Where does this rumor come from and how can it be connected to Yibo?

Here is the chronology:

1. The base of the rumour is this Weibo post from 15/01/2024 (male celeb, born 1995, partners in Hengdian):

2. The original rumour was spread on 31/01/2024 (celeb infected H/I/V):

3. Rumour spreading - 6/02/2024, infected celeb treated in Beijing

4. Rumour spreading - 13/02/2024

5. Rumour spreading - 16/02/2024 (wife added)

/"takeout" - sleeping around/

6. Meanwhile a few celebrities were linked to the rumour, mainly it was actors: Xu Kai (born 1995, for many years filmed in HD) and Wu Jing (filmed in HD, wife; antis even used his old photos from the hospital).

7. Antis tried to link Wang Yibo to the rumour (the reason given - YH's stocks falling) but they couldn't find any connection because Yibo wasn't in Hengdian for years. Later it was found that these "worried shareholders" were all Xiao Zhan's fans in disguise.

8. On 17/02 producer Zhang Huijia posted about the rumour and added some points: two words, surname started x

9. On 18/02/2024 (morning) bjyx shippers spread the rumour that Yibo was in Hengdian (because of the Douyin app's bug that showed the several kilometers distance on Yibo's post; this kind of tracking other accounts' location is impossible on Douyin).

Wang Yibo's Official Fanclub refuted the location rumour quickly.

Weibo changed the hot search from "Wang Yibo refuted" to "Wang Yibo’s fans refuted". (manipulation of the importance of the statement).

10. Despite the obvious fact that the information about Yibo's location was a baseless rumor, the antis took advantage of the situation and started to connect him to the Hengdian rumor.

Only a few hours later on 18/02 the account Deerdearlove started to spread rumors that the infected celeb is Yibo.

The rumours were spread by antis and Xiao Zhan's fans on different apps, mostly on WeChat and Douyin. Antis used the photos of the supervision team from the hospital of Fuyang City to mislead people.

11. On 18/02 (evening) producer Zhang Huijia spread the rumour that the infected celeb is Xiao Zhan (look at the receipt in pos. 8) and the attacks on Wang Yibo intensified.

Xiao Zhan's fans spread rumors on Weibo.

12. 20/02/2024 Yuehua posted a statement that they filed the report on police about the rumour and slander.

Actor Xu Kai also filed the police report.

Conclusions: bjyx responsibility

Analyzing the above chronology, we can easily come to the conclusion that bjyx's responsibility for linking Hengdian rumor to Yibo is obvious.

According to the above chronology we know that until 18/02 Yibo's name was not associated with this rumor due to his lack of connections with Hengdian at that time. By publishing a baseless rumor about Yibo's location, bjyx directly influenced antis' movement and thus directly contributed to actions that harmed Yibo and could damage his reputation.

If it weren't for the quick action of the Offical Yibo fanclub (remember - the only fanclub authorized by YH to deny rumors), the damage could have been even greater. Interestingly, bjyx constantly try to undermine the credibility of this fanclub, which may contribute to the creation of doubts even about the Hengdian rumor itself.

Surprisingly, bjyx completely ignore or even deny their responsibility and blame only the antis and Xiao Zhan's fans who spread it. But the question is: would it be possible without bjyx participation?

The cause and effect relation between the rumour about Yibo's location and linking the Hengdian rumor to him is obvious and should not be subject to any discussion. If bjyx were honest and moral people, they would admit their mistake and apologize to the person who was harmed (Yibo) and I really expected them to do that.

Yet neither of them seem to have the moral courage or decency to admit that their action had truly serious consequences. If they really don't see anything wrong with their behavior, it only reflects poorly on them as people who don't care about Yibo and his good name, and the only thing that matters is the candy chasing and their own pleasures (and honestly, that's what I think).

There is also a second possibility. Some suggest that the "location rumour" was staged just to link Yibo to the Hengdian rumor. Looking at the density of the HD rumor in the time leading up to the bjyx rumor, one might wonder if there isn't some truth to it. Especially since bjyx does not admit to the mistake, which only introduces more questions about the suspicious purpose of their actions.

I leave the final conclusions to you.

Ps. Due to the limited space of the post, I couldn't publish all receipts. Feel free to dm me if you need more proof.

While writing this article I tried to be consistent with the facts. But if you see any mistakes, please dm me.

Thank you!

The big bjyx account on Weibo left the fandom and unfollowed xiao zhan ‼️

On 240924 a big bjyx account (180k followers) made a post on Weibo in which she informed that she just left the fandom and explained her reasons. Please read! 💚

My comment: It's sad to think that this person wasted so many years for the fandom that is based on abusing Yibo but I'm still happy that she finally found the light 🥹 No one who really likes Yibo can remain indifferent in the face of so much injustice towards him. No one who really loves Yibo can stay too long in bjyx fandom. But as we can see, there's hope even for "older" bjyx. I keep my fingers crossed for every person who wants to leave that fandom. Be sure that mtjjs welcome every new sister/brother, even ex-bjyx with open arms, providing support and understanding 💚

Linking another celeb to a brand (Lacoste this time) right before Yibo being announced is very anti behaviour 🙄

[jowi8597]

Rainbowsky is xiao zhan the potato biased turtle. Some of his earlier posts from around 2020-2021 explicitly state how he believes potato is #1 and above Yibo in c-cent, no thanks to all the fraudulent info regarding potato’s popularity that turtles have been feeding themselves since 2019. He still believes it now, but the last two years have been a huge slap in the face to all potato biased/fans seeing as how Yibo continues to outrank leech zhan in every way possible: box office films, prestigious awards, cctv ratings, songs, performances, brand endorsements, magazine sales, fan meetings, flawless barefaced no filter photos/getty images, positive energy artist viral moments, ambassadorships, talent, you name it. Yibo is #1 and in a league of his own. Meanwhile outside of fake traffic and paid water armys, potato zhan can barely compete with other 90s actors in his age range given his golden broom film debut and 1+1+1=0 dramas that aired just last year. No wonder potato is still holding on to cql for dear life while selling rotten candy to his rotten ship every chance he gets. It’s expected potato’s currently shelved films will also flop at the box office like his dramas’ ratings flopped, since his fans are too busy keeping up with King Yibo to focus on their leeching pendant of a fave. Disqualified idol like disqualified fans I guess.

Dear Anon,

Thank you for the detailed and comprehensive message! I think no more words are needed.

Free Yibo from all leeches! 🔥

[jowi8597]

I wasn't sure if I should publish the message I received yesterday or not because it was never my intention to run an anti xz blog. But when I saw a post a moment ago, where bjyx used Yibo's suffering from the altitude sickness for the purpose of shipping, anger awoke in me.

Bjyx, you're really sick 🤢

[jowi8597]

Not that I care either way, but If it helps, it looks like Rainbowsky mostly posts about Yibo. In fact, a recent post by rainbowsky shows bias against Xiao Zhan solos and seems to imply the escalation that happened at the Yuehua concert is their fault: https://www.tumblr.com/rainbowsky/759855938527264768/psa-regarding-weibo-comments. Can't see any previous posts disparaging MTJJs in the same way he refers to XLXs as toxic several times. May not really be relevant to ask, but how do you police bjyx if most of them are actively promoting/upvoting Yibo’s projects, too?

Dear Anon,

Thank you for your question, and I apologize for the delay in my response. I’ve been quite busy with various obligations before the school year started, and I was also unwell.

To address your inquiry about Rainbowsky's apparent bias, it seems he shares information about both artists fairly equally. However, I don’t have the time or pleasure to conduct a detailed analysis on which artist he posts about more frequently. It’s possible that he has been featuring Yibo more recently simply because Yibo has been more active this year in terms of content. As far as I know, xz hasn’t had any new drama, movie, song, concert, or fan meeting this year, though please correct me if I’m mistaken, as I don’t follow xz closely.

Regarding the criticism aimed at "solo" fans of both artists, it appears that Rainbowsky treats both groups in a similar light, perceiving them as haters and toxic, mostly due to their disapproval of bjyx fictional cp and their vocal opposition to bjyx's behaviour. In the recent incident at the concert, he may have singled out xfx because they were the ones leading the hate campaign in the days following the event.

Thanks to you, Anon, I checked out Rainbowsky's blog today. To my surprise, I found out that he made a post about me and the comment area is filled with misinformation and slander towards my person. I’ll be addressing that issue later. But as you see, he perceives mtjjs as enemies too, simply because we openly discuss bjyx's lies and their outrageous behavior.

Finally, I'd like to address your surprise regarding my criticism of bjyx despite their support for (some of ) Yibo's projects. It's true that there's a part of bjyx community which show support for Yibo's work, and I appreciate that. It is easy to notice, however, that these individuals frequently support xz in similar, if not even greater, ways.

But what bjyx really do?

Apart from the obvious allegations such as spreading rumors and lies about Yibo, speculating about his sexuality, and harassing him online and offline, there are also:

- bad-mouthing Yibo's family

- making a candy out of Yibo grieving his grandfather

- making a candy out of Yibo doing MRI scan

- attacking and even suing Yibo's brands (recently it's Master Kong Ice Tea)

- using Yibo for false marketing

- admitting to downvoting Yibo in charts

- threatening, cursing, wishing ill on Yibo

- reporting fan support prepared by Yibo's fans

- harassing people who know Yibo personally

- claiming that Yibo doesn't deserve to have an independent personality

- claiming that Yibo has "low EQ"

- interacting with Yibo haters*

Recently we can add also:

- giving low ratings to Yibo's documentary

- discouraging people from watching Yibo's works

- making up an idea to harass his brands until none will remain

The list can go on and on. Please mind that everything I wrote is supported by evidence that can be provided anytime.

To sum up, we all must understand that one positive action doesn't erase the negatives and a single good deed or even a few cannot erase a multitude of wrongs. Therefore, as long as bjyx continue their harmful actions, I will not hesitate to call them out and condemn their behavior.

JW

*Many thanks to TracerBobo_85 on X for such a detailed list! The credit is hers! 💚

[jowi8597]

Please mind that bjyx account Rainbowsky is shamelessly spreading lies!

No, there is no evidence that "they're together". Solid or vague, there's nothing. A round zero.

Believe me, if any existed, we'd know about it a long time ago 🥴

This impudent guy Rainbowsky acts as some kind of oracle, but he is just a sly and a liar. Disgusting.

Bjyx's outrageous behaviour at Yuehua Concert 2024 and their responsibility for the black campaign against Wang Yibo ‼️

Let me begin by sharing an important aspect of my perspective. Unlike some of my fellow green sisters, I'm not against bjyx using yellow as a fandom color both online and at events. I believe that if bjyx voluntarily chooses to exclude themselves from being recognized as Yibo's fans (Yibo has mentioned more than once that those who use green as his "support color" are his fans), it’s ultimately their decision, and it isn't something I need to concern myself with. As we witnessed last year, Yibo not only refrained from acknowledging those individuals as fans, but he also regarded them as unworthy of respect. It’s clear that Yibo believes we shouldn’t bow to anti-fans, which is a very reasonable stance.

1. Bjyx inappropriate behaviour at YH Concert 2024

Let's quickly recap what happened at Yuehua's concert last week. As is typical at such events, bjyx brought their yellow light banners /featuring slogans that only they seemed to understand/. However, if it had ended there, it’s likely that both groups, bjyx and mtjj, would have parted ways peacefully.

Unfortunately, bjyx chose to escalate the situation with irrational and fanatic behavior. At the concert, they displayed a banner featuring xz's face, along with flags and posters solely featuring his name in red and red-and-yellow colors. They also had yellow turtle with green"Wang / 王" turned off but red "zhan / 战" still lit up, along with a cql red light and numerous headbands displaying both names.

If that weren't enough, as the concert concluded, bjyx began loudly chanting "Xiao Zhan" and "Wang Yibo belongs to Xiao Zhan," which understandably angered Yibo's fans. In response, mtjjs chanted slogans like "zhan zhan jing jing" and "xiao zhan is dead."

We know from the video evidence that the violence escalated when a very tall bjyx member attacked a smaller mtjj, who retaliates. We also saw a group of bjyx members being surrounded by police and the security confiscated a banner featuring xz's face at the end.

2. Bjyx being disrespectful towards Yibo

It's important to acknowledge that the actions of these bjyx were truly disrespectful to Yibo and undermined his hard work and impressive performance. There is no justification for showing up with banners with the face or chanting a name of the artist unrelated to the event. It feels as if bjyx are attempting to promote xz at the expense of Yibo's accomplishments, which is unfair and evil.

Furthermore, their actions revealed a troubling disregard for the impact of their words, embarrassing Yibo in front of his colleagues and even bystanders. I’ve heard reports (though I cannot confirm it with a clip) that some bjyx have been on the streets telling people that "wyb is gay." Allegedly, this led to a police intervention after someone reported the behavior. If this is true (and I can certainly believe bjyx are capable of such actions), it raises significant questions about their claims of being LGBT supporters.

Bjyx, do you genuinely believe that spreading rumors about someone's sexual orientation, both online and offline, constitutes “support”? It’s hard to take that notion seriously.

3. Bjyx angering Yibo's fans

It's noteworthy that last year, during similar incidents, I occasionally observed bjyx publicly condemning cbjyx's actions. However, this year, I haven't seen any bjyx demonstrating the courage or integrity to say, "this shouldn't be happening."

I can easily recognise why this is the case.

Last year, when no one on the ground could voice objections (as mtjjs boycotted the concert), this year, Yibo's fans have responded to bjyx's disrespectful actions in a bold and forceful manner.

Do I condone death threats or violence? Absolutely not. Personally, I believe there are more constructive ways to express dissent that wouldn't cast Yibo and his fans in a negative light. Yet, it's easy for me to say that from behind a screen. Emotions can run high in such situations, and it's unfortunate that all inhibitions can sometimes fade away. While I don't excuse such behavior, I can empathize with it The chants and banners showcasing the unrelated individual can indeed be seen as provocative, which explains why mtjjs might feel upset.

4. Bjyx empowering Yibo's haters

I find it hard to believe that the bjyx who brought xz-related items to the concert and chanted his name didn't realize their actions would provoke a response from Yibo's fans. This has happened before, and history has shown that it usually leads to the same reactions each time. It seems clear that these bjyx attended the concert not to support Yibo, but to instigate trouble and deliberately assist those who harbor animosity toward him.

Obviously, the slogans uttered by mtjjs did not go unnoticed by Yibo's worst haters, xiao zhan's fans. For the past week, xfxs has been spreading slander and lies against Yibo across various Chinese and international platforms, hurling insults and harassing his brands.

This entire hate campaign can be traced back to the provocative behavior exhibited by bjyx at Yuehua Concert 2024, and they should be held accountable for it.

I have no illusions that for most of the bjyx community, even this situation and its serious consequences won't serve as a wake-up call. However, I hope that at least some of them will reflect on the true goals behind what bjyx do, who is really leading bjyx, and whether this is how genuine support should look.
