Nekomode - Tumblr Posts

I think this is a mental stance I need to take. All of this stuff I’ve been hearing about MDZS, the fans, the antis, has driven my anxiety through the roof at times. I’m prone to catastrophizing, and the cold, hard truth of the matter is that I don’t know crap about what’s going on overseas or how they work. All I know is hearsay; so, I need to take to a step back and just realize that, not only is the situation, whatever it may be, out of my hands, I don’t even have the full story. It all comes back to “What do I know?” -shrugs-

But, yeah, this was a good post, and I thought I’d share this. 

I'm not sure but maybe the previous anon might refer to the situation with mdzs fans, you can find info on manhua-assistant blog.

If the previous anon was talking about mdzs, then I don’t think the incident will affect the donghua. If anything, it will make the staff even more careful about the BL elements of the donghua for fear of the censorship office. The truth is that Cornetto is making a hell of money from their mdzs-themed ice-cream shop, both TGCF and MDZS have been on jjwxc’s top charts for ages, and there’s no reason to think that the donghua will be any different.

By the way, I think manhua-assistant was pushing 2 different topics together. The post made by the author on weibo was aiming at the fans who were flaming mzy, the actress of Wen Qing, online over the rumors about Wen Qing Ling, not the teacher’s committing suicide incident. It’s an entirely different drama of its own. The next post by the author was her apologizing to the fans because while she didn’t change her stance on the fans’ personal attacks on mzy, her words were too heavy-handed (the exact words used were “flesh-eating”, in a referencing to Lu Xun’s story, A Mad Man’s Diary).

I should also note that mxtx has a lot of antifans who will twist every single things mxtx and the fans do into sth horrific. The author has been accused of plagiarism (with little evidence for the crime), has been accused of paying people to make music and arts to advertise her works, has been accused of just paying lip service when she told the fans to not attack mzy personally. The fandom itself has also been repeatedly accused of being too rabid and kept mention mdzs all over the place.

Personally, I take all those accusations with a grain of salt. Antis are going to be antis. Same with the story of the teacher. Unless proper verification is made (like who the teacher is, which region she comes from, does she exist as an actual person or is this just another internet rumor, the exact reason why she commits suicide, for all we know, if the person exists, she could have committed suicide over an entirely differently reason, what is the result of the authority’s investigation, etc.), I believe in nothing.
