:"are you fcking stupid or slow?"

Is this an inclusive or exclusive "OR?"

By labeling the opinions of C-netizens as "toxic," you're scapegoating them . Not to mention, I explicitly stated that "who knows where the trolls get what they troll about?" The fact that you made the unwarranted assumption that the (international) trolls were importing the posts of the C-netizens further proves that you're scapegoating them. Try to understand what you're saying yourself before you tell others to STFU!

Maybe ignorant & irrational, but not "stupid." At least, I hope not, for the sake of humanity!

I read your review for When We Were Young, which is also one of my favorites. Besides WWWY and RMJ, another 1990s coming-of-age, school-related C-drama that I'd recommend is: A River Runs Through It. Maybe you've seen it already, but I thought others might be interested.

Fair enough. But why worry about what people may or may not be saying on weibo (or any other social media, for that matter)?

@zekiym idk why you're on weibo in the first place, if "people act like this"

Since you know exactly what's going on, you're obviously not listening to your own advice and staying away from weibo. At least, weibo users don't throw shade on MDL users (though admittedly, they don't know or care that MDL exists).

@zekiym Because they're fans, which is short for "fanatics." At least Chinese netizens are arguing about their own country's dramas. Here we have a bunch of international fans who know little to nothing about Chinese history, language, culture, etc. arguing about C-dramas. What's worse??

China has 1.4+ billion people. Maybe a few thousand at most are arguing on social media about PM re: WXY. So relatively speaking, not "very many people" at all. Just because they're too passionate for their own good doesn't mean they're "stupid." Maybe "irrationally exuberant," but not stupid.

Stop blaming c-netz for everything. They couldn't care less about MDL, if they even know it exists.

Hold the international trolls themselves accountable and cease scapegoating domestic fans. Who knows where the trolls get what they troll about?

Because.

Not everyone, including fictional characters, can be as mature as you.

Because.

Key words:
"to me."

Translation: to YOU.

Thank you!

This is one fictional family in a satirical, farcical TV show. From this, you extrapolate their fictionalized experiences to those of all real, historical families in ancient China. Seriously asking, are you seriously asking??

If you wanted to know, you could've easily looked it up yourself in the time it took to write your post. But I'll give you a quick answer: NO!

During this period in Chinese history, Confucianism (and to some extent, other ideologies such as taoism) promoted piety towards parents, elders, ancestors as well as spouses. Harmony is the key family value.

The family was seen as a microcosm (and driver) of society at large. Without the stability of individual family units, social stability
would be precariously ephemeral, if not ultimately impossible.

Of course, you're entitled to your trollish opinion. And I'm entitled to point out that your mommy's basement is warm & cozy this time of year.

I have no problem handling your opinion. I choose to handle it by noting its trollish quality.

For the record, I didn't hurl any personal insults at you. Saying that your mommy's basement is warm & cozy is actually quite the compliment. I could've easily said that it's cold & damp instead.

YAMH >

Why are you even here? Don't you have better things to do than watch boring C-dramas and troll about them? But I guess mommy's basement is warm & cozy this time of year.
