Secrets you don't want to make...

[(Anonymous)]

... but you wouldn't mind if someone else made them for you! As always, including the fandom and full character names is a big help, and I'll try my best to use an appropriate image choice. Er, just to clarify - it's my intention to make all the secrets left in this thread, so even if they're not marked claimed, they will be made.

I'll monitor this thread until tomorrow's secret post goes up, so feel free to leave your comments until then!

Yours truly,

a secret maker

Chinese person here albeit someone born in North America. I'm not quite qualified to talk about mainland Chinese but there still exists very bad blood about the Japanese from those of older generations. Particularly those whose grandparents/parents had to flee from the Japanese in WW2.

I have friends whose parents vehemently hate the Japanese and in my parents generation you would have been socially isolated if you married a Japanese person. It's less so in the current generation now but I imagine it's a bigger thing in the mainland.

Another issue is that Japan has never apologized or even acknowledged the war crimes perpetrated by them ever. Talking to some Japanese people, it's not even a part of the history they are taught and it's not something that is widely talked about it in Japan. Add into the fact that the Chinese government encourages people to remember Nanking and the atrocities it's still pretty vivid in people's minds.

To put in perspective it's akin to taking a tourist pic at a place commemorating Nazis. A little less extreme than that but it's the closest western equivalency I can think of. So if the guy is getting his career tanked it makes a lot of sense....

Yes, I know this. What I'm saying is... was it a deliberate move on his part?

[(Anonymous)]

Heh. Well, at least they were honest. I'm sure there are plenty of fanfic writers who toy with the idea of trying to file off the serial numbers and publish their fic as original, and a lot of them underestimate how easy that'd be or how much of an audience would even be interested if it's not attached to the fandom.

Whenever I see the word "waist" written in a fic, I cringe. I'm so conditioned to seeing it as "waste" that I cringe even when it's the correct word.

[(Anonymous)]

People don't care if it was deliberate or not. It's still a bad look and considering that a lot of pop stars are involved politically with the government one way or another specifically in China particularly, it's honestly not a surprise there's huge outcry about it.

If it's not the fans of this generation who don't care as much about Japanese war crimes, sponsors would immediately drop him just for the whole issue.

Oughtn't they?

Recently I realized that the reason my favorite character from Harry Potter was Snape was because of all the fanfiction I read at the time while the books were still being published.
All the fics that I enjoyed had written him as a distinctively handsome person and as a likable character; pretty much the furthest thing from what was actually written in the books.

I'm really digging this petty ass Bugs image lol

I agree with every word that Sarah Z said in her video "The Story of Proshippers vs Antis". I think anyone who labels themself a proshipper or an anti has no understanding of nuance.

A friend linked me this because I only understood half of it, too. Idk if it helps?

Welllll it's up to the fans then how they want to deal with it I guess.

The Chinese government has a considerable amount of social control so to go against that or disagree is political, economic and social suicide more or less for the star themselves.

Not to say that there are ways to go against certain bans/censors or that people blindly follow the government in China but I don't see a lot of people caring about the situation to that degree aside from the diehard fans.

I mean its not a surprising move in western society either. Just look at cancel culture. If you're arguing that people should care then it's more of an individualistic argument. Some people care about distinctions, a good vocal majority don't. Should people care? Ideally yes but a lot of folk like being outraged and yelling about it despite the actual intent of the subject in question.
