Edit : maybe this applies to Chinese platforms only, I'm confused because the translation mentions both international and domestic sites but who knows at this point 😭
Translation : Dear fans and friends,
Due to the impact of recent events and in order to protect the actors, the official accounts both domestically and internationally will suspend updates of trailers and clips for the time being. The official weekly photocards will also be taken down today at 24:00.
Oh what the actual hell. Every single time I try to come on here and enjoy reading discourse, it’s like a whole new wave of irrational clowns showed up overnight. Another day, another FUCKING PROBLEM.
We are at episode 16. Yet some of y’all are still frothing at the mouth over something that happened in episode ONE. Yes, we all get it. Rape is bad. No one here is debating that. It’s literally a universal fact. But the way some of you have this unholy obsession with turning every thread into a moral sermon is exhausting.
You wanna express discomfort with that scene? Fine. Valid. Go for it. But half of y’all aren't just expressing that, you're attacking anyone who didn't drop the show over it, as if fictional trauma must be universally responded to in one exact way. Spoiler alert: it doesn't.
Some of us process fiction differently. Some of us don’t hyperfixate on a single scene from episode one when the story has since expanded. But y’all are out here scrutinizing viewers instead of the actual show, like that’s productive. Why do you care more about policing reactions than engaging with the actual plot LMAO.
And then there's the hilarious hypocrisy... trying to put Guo on a pedestal, calling him a “green flag” when he's literally Chi Cheng’s right-hand man. You really sat through all these episodes and didn’t realize he was involved in the same activities? Just because it wasn't shown in bright lights doesn’t mean he’s innocent. That man is complicit as hell.
Tbh some of you aren’t upset about ethics. You’re mad people enjoy something you personally didn’t vibe with, and instead of moving on like a grown adult, you're on a crusade to ruin it for everyone else. Don’t watch it then. Go. Leave. Literally no one is begging you to stay and cry in the comments about how offended you are that people dared to keep watching. Imagine still sobbing over a scene 15 episodes ago.... DAMN.
LASTLY it's hilarious how y’all keep using site ratings as some kind of gospel metric of this show’s success. Y’all really think a couple of bitter downvotes on one international platform somehow negate the fact that this show obliterated records in China? Ziyu had over 40 MILLION live viewers. Forty. Million. His Weibo numbers alone blew the ceiling off historical records. Tian’s post got a million likes in under ten damn minutes. But sure, tell me more about how it’s “not that popular” because you and five of your fandom mutuals say so.
