Sheeeeesh. Poor Wang Yibo. People be crazy.

[(Anonymous)]

That sounds really awful, and I'm sorry he's going through that :(. It's amazing how some people can't seem to respect or grasp the concept of boundaries, or privacy.

I hope he can manage to find the privacy and peace he longs for at some point.

Yeah the Chinese entertainment industry is particularly... nuts. And this isn't to say that the west is so much better or what have you, but more that over there it's encouraged for fans to be as entitled and insane as they want towards their faves, to the point where literal stalking isn't really dealt with and rival companies will literally make up horrible rumors to try and tank a star's career, all because it drives product sales up. I have a few Chinese actors I like and keep up with and I always hope that they've got a good support network to help them deal with the crazy because it really seems like they need it.

And this isn't the first time they've found tracking devices on his vehicle. I think last time they actually followed him rather than just monitoring the tracking.

Also what about the crazed 'fan' who reported him to the police which caused them to go to the drama filming site and interview him before dropping the whole thing because it was all false.

I'm also at a total loss about how blatant lies and rumours circulate and actually impact on people's careers in China. Why do those kind of antis have so much power? It just encourages the fan who doesn't care about anything but being able to have an impact, no matter how negative, on a famous person.

Frankly, it's horrifying, and it's not just him. Can't go anywhere without being surrounded by screaming fans, trackers on his car, another actor had people deliberately entering the passcode wrong to the door to his hotel room so when he wants to get some rest after a long day he couldn't get in and had to wait for a hotel person to come unlock it - again - surrounded by screaming fans... and of course the socmed stuff, all the "well we like another guy better than you so we're gonna do our best to take you down" attempts at career sabotage, etc, etc, etc.

tbh I'm genuinely impressed whenever a piece of media goes through with killing a child. Is it terrible and tragic? Absolutely! And it should be!

But I've always found it a weird narrative thing that the small, defenseless child is going to survive all the shit that grown adults don't. It doesn't make logical sense so when a series has the child die I'm always impressed that they followed through with it instead of playing it safe.

I have a similar issue with miscarriages. I'm over them being used as a angst plot point.

I haven't read that particular one, but I'm just here for an Atrocity Archives secret.

People like OOC versions of the characters

So?

[(Anonymous)]

So stay out of what you consider the OOC sections? I'm pretty sure they probably congregate together.

Pratchett is my favorite author of all time, but that doesn't mean he's above criticism. Do you have more info about the stereotype you're talking about? Due to my age and location, I'm not particularly familiar with it. I'd like to know more and see for myself if it really is "mean-spirited." Sometimes it's good to critically examine a work that you love.

I don't remember if this was in the book, but I liked that the show made her family obscenely rich because of *course* Agness Nutter would leave her descendants some financial tips where she could.

[(Anonymous)]

I like that they changed her ethnicity and used that to bring a liiiittle more diversity in the adaptation. I don't like how her relationship with Newt was portrayed the whole way though, but oh well.
