After paying attention to social topics for a long time, her sister found a phenomenon:
The more sensational the news, the easier it is to be noticed.
Rumors, because they are more able to make up dramatic plots, are easier to spread than the truth.
The topic we are going to talk about today is a perfect example.
Two days ago, an article about the victims issuing a statement on their rights after being rumored attracted everyone's attention. When we appear in the circle of friends as
Rumors are the kind that are most likely to win everyone's attention: Many 985 college girls were rumored to be.
When female college students as
Appear in the circle of friends
The real situation is only more sensational than the title.
On June 7, 2021, a classmate at Sun Yat-sen University received a screenshot from a friend.
The screenshot is a circle of friends who recruited little online to attend an adulterous party.
In this screenshot, many girls nodded, and many people signed up below, saying unsightly words.
In the picture, the real name of the "message girl" is revealed, and information such as the college to which she belongs.
Her WeChat avatar is impressively listed.
The friend asked, "Is this you?" ”
The head was hers. But she didn't know anything about it.
Out of caution, she sent a cryptic circle of friends to clarify the facts.
Unexpectedly, I unveiled more foul-smelling things behind this screenshot.
Rumors are not just a screenshot of recruiting little.
There are also nude photos synthesized from photos of the girls, and many fake chat logs full of lewd conversations.
The girls who were rumored have found 20 people so far.
Zhao Mouchen, a rumor-monger, is the president of the student union of a certain college of Sun Yat-sen University.
At the beginning of the semester (February 2021), he forged multiple chat records, nude photos, and circle of friends and sent them to a number of classmates.
Rumors spread through WeChat groups, qq groups, and gatherings. The number of victims found by the girls alone is thousands.
The rumor spread throughout the campuses and outside the campus.
In places they didn't know, they were called "bitches," "sluts," and insulted with foul language.
What made the girls feel puzzled and angry was that the rumor-monger Zhao Mouchen had no revenge with the victims.
Some of the victimized girls, who had never spoken to him, were only in the same public group.
If there is any "Liangzi" that can barely be said, it is that some of the girls have rejected him after being pursued and harassed by Zhao Mouchen.
These girls who rejected Zhao Mouchen have also become the object of P nude photos and key slander.
In this incident, two things made her sister most angry.
First, the victims' preliminary investigation learned that the only common intersection was Zhao Mouchen, looking for him to understand the situation, and he flatly denied that he was related to the incident.
Even, under the constant questioning of the girls, they showed clear dissatisfaction and anger, and finally confessed a male classmate, misleading everyone into thinking that this male classmate was the initiator of the matter.
After a police investigation, the male classmate had nothing to do with the incident.
The second is that one of the rumor-mongers, Mai Mou, believed all the rumors without any investigation, and further expanded the matter, spreading rumors to thousands of people on his own.
It even added fuel to the original rumors and further slandered innocent girls.
After the matter was settled, the school and the police station asked Zhao Mouchen to apologize to the girls.
Zhao Mouchen's apology was only a short minute and a half. After that, he hid in the toilet cubicle, trying to find an opportunity to slip away.
When he was surrounded by the victim girls and some angry classmates, he even rolled on the ground, claiming that he was dizzy and could not get up on the ground.
Zhao Mouchen fell to the ground
The accomplice of this matter, "Mai Mou", finally only issued his own "apology statement" on the Internet, which was briefly published for 7 hours.
Such an apology is not half sincere.
Rather than apologizing to the victims, it is better to say that after the incident was made, it had to be explained to the angry public.
But is the harm suffered by the girls only by this kind of apology that has only a form and no core?
From "promiscuous parties", "mass prostitution", "five thousand a night" individual attacks.
Even upgraded to say that a certain school and a certain hospital are "chicken nests" and "obscene nests", and the group insults to the girls in the school are group insults.
Their peaceful lives were completely shattered. Some girls have been diagnosed with severe depression, and all of them have different degrees of mental weakness.
In the past six months, so many victims have been objectified, torn apart, and socially dead, suffering from severe depression, mentally and physically hanging on the verge of collapse... Is it deserved?
Now the girls have decided to take up legal arms to defend their rights and regain long-lost justice.
Is this kind of "peach-colored rumor-mongering" seen less?
The screenshot of the circle of friends of recruiting little to participate in the sexual party is destined to become the third king of topicality, dissemination and exposure on the Internet.
Moreover, the keyword "female college students of famous universities" has its own peach-colored allure, so that those fake chat records and false nude photos, like cancer cells, divide and spread rapidly...
This time, we were furious.
Because those girls seem to be right next to us, desperately going to school, struggling for papers, and doing some part-time jobs after school, they are cute, ordinary and brilliant.
Some are even our friends until they turn into and appear in the circle of friends.
We are shocked, and we condemn the whistleblowers for being shameless and the whistleblowers for their misdeeds.
But do we see less of this kind of "peach-colored rumor-mongering"?
See too much.
To be honest, I've had enough.
This kind of "peach color, from the debunking of rumors" events repeats itself, unchanged, and continues to flood the online world.
The feathers dispersed, leaving one girl after another who had been slandered and destroyed.
Remember the Hangzhou girl who took the courier and was rumored?
In the story, she is "the lonely cheating courier brother of the rich woman".
In fact, she was just standing at the station at the entrance of the community and waiting for a few seconds.
A few seconds of back shadow was secretly photographed by the convenience store Lang and He, who fabricated the scene of "rich woman stealing love".
The girl's face and community address were copied to one WeChat group after another, the information was fleshed out, the person was dismissed by the unit, and soon, she was diagnosed with a depressed state.
The girl did not intend to reconcile, she hired a lawyer, filed a criminal private prosecution with the court, spent a full 9 months and 23 days, and finally waited for the trial - Lang and He were sentenced to one year in prison, suspended for two years.
There are two details that her sister still remembers vividly.
First, after the girl publicized the matter on Weibo, the girl who kept experiencing the same experience confided in her about her experience: "There are basically two types, one says you are cheating, and the other says you are a prostitute. ”
Another is that countless media interviews on why Lang mou did this, he mentioned several times: "I don't know if it is illegal, just joking with the people in the group, there is no malice." ”
Remember "China Eastern Airlines Sleeping Door"?
At that time, the headline of the tabloid had many keywords that overflowed the screen - "China Eastern Airlines Party Member Flight Attendant Sleeping Boss, Love Q Toy Vacuum Short Skirt".
The result is that a 42-year-old freelancer Qiu Mou stole the victim's avatar, used two mobile phones to send messages to each other, and has now been criminally detained.
There is also the "ipad witch hunt" incident.
The student picked up the iPad during class, and in order to avoid others greedily taking it, he kindly published a lost and found and left a note for the owner to find him to claim.
The bad is that he left bilingual information, because youtube and other software are often used in the iPad, there is no WeChat, and it is inferred that it may be a foreign student.
Oh, yes, and it's bad that his handwriting is neat and neat, like it came from a girl's hand.
A narrative of "female college students kneeling and licking the foreigners" is so easily concocted.
Misunderstood, the student who collected gold was a boy.
However, when he "became a girl", he was saddled with the "original sin" of the sub-woman posting foreigners upside down.
I still remember when the epidemic was raging, the trajectory of the confirmed girl in Chengdu was exposed, and she became the protagonist of the story of "20-year-old transition king, one night in four nightclubs".
Malicious speculation that her little Huang Wen instantly raged on the Internet, but the girl was just responsible for the atmosphere in the bar.
Some people took a picture of another girl and moved the flowers and trees, which was humiliated, and the owner of the photo was not even in Chengdu.
Another girl was exposed to the destruction of the alarm many times during the epidemic period, the practice is definitely wrong, but it should not be arranged by the circle of friends as "and 16 poisonous women with wives and husbands"...
There are too many such peach rumors, and the female students of and colleges are not the first, nor will they be the last.
These little stories, without exception, have two things in common:
First, the woman is rumored to be a flight attendant, a student, and an atmosphere group, but she has only one identity - a sexual plaything under the eyes of the official.
Second, through the packaging of media discourse and the crazy fermentation of the Internet, rumors are rampant and spreading but cannot be sorted out.
Sometimes the killer could not even be found, but everyone had blood on their hands.
"Peach rumors will always attract people's attention"
In this series of "lace news", what makes me most uncomfortable is the titles: flight attendant, female college student, female doctor, drinking girl...
I can't help but think of the various "theme rooms" in Room N: female policemen, female teachers, female middle school students, and girls.
The first time she heard these theme rooms, her sister was not at all surprised, each title is so familiar, even associated with the picture...
Oh, aren't these topics exactly the category tags for AV?
Women, in this way, are portrayed by rumor-mongers as pornographic consumer goods, your AV actresses.
The scariest thing is that every profession can be eroticized, every age can be sexualized, and even every identity (whether mother, daughter, sister, friend) is not hindered.
You know, #Ifxckmymom is a classic feature of, so the acquaintance abuse room in Room N is so shocking.
In the "acquaintance abuse room", members uploaded secretly videos of their wives, daughters, and mothers for the amusement of their friends, and these women did not know that they were being "sexually assaulted".
So isn't peach rumor another kind of "insult room" that uses fictional words, pictures, and videos for viewers to have fun?
As Lu Xun said:
"When I saw the short sleeves, I immediately thought of white arms, I immediately thought of full nudity, I immediately thought of genitals, I immediately thought of sexual intercourse, I immediately thought of hybridization, I immediately thought of illegitimate children. Chinese imagination can only leap forward at this level. ”
Not only China, but also human imagination in this regard is really rich, and every inch of women's body is a sexual organ.
Lu Xun's description of the yellow rumors also applies today
In the story, women are objectified and become sexual resources. Is there a more subtle pun than a?
Women are no longer living people.
The essence behind this is misogyny.
If it is only so, the peach-colored rumors are also anecdotal stories, which are not far away, but they have caught up with the flood beast of the Network media...
First, this set of media languages highly matches the propagation logic.
When writing tabloid stories, use sensational headlines to attract attention, and when writing news, use passive sentences to hide the perpetrators:
It's always women scratching their heads, it's always women who are sexually assaulted and killed...
Habitual passive sentence patterns and erotic language have exonerated slander. As the Hangzhou rumor-mongers said: Just a joke, no malice.
Then, the development of technology for photo P-heads, video face swaps, and fake audio has made it increasingly difficult to distinguish between true and false.
Deepfake software can change the head of the video
In fact, at a time when fake news is rife, we have entered the post-truth era:
Something supposedly happened, the emotions were in place, I was going to vent, and the was over.
The truth becomes irrelevant.
On the yellow website, there are small videos of Hollywood actresses changing their heads
Then, the anonymous propagation mechanism caused the culprit to disappear into the cascading explosion information.
Rumor-mongering has never been easier. To take up the legal weapon, but it is as weak as a fierce punch to cotton and shot into the air.
So when the consequences are caused, do we only need to condemn the rumor-mongers?
Then next time, the same endless cycle will be played out again.
There will only be more invisible initiators, more vulgar and vivid rumors, and no remorse.
Because with the blessing of the internet media, the already powerful misogynistic culture will only become more pervasive.
Thanks to them, I don't choose to put up with it anymore
But one thing, her sister was thankful for— the girls were getting braver.
Girls being rumored is not an isolated case of one after another in the news.
"Girls Want Revolution"
If you look at your own life, you will find that such things are very common, but when they happen, they are often carried away by "just a joke, no malice".
The girl in Hangzhou who took the courier and was rumored to be derailed, just because a courier brother tried to seek excitement, "a whim" rumors, was dissuaded by the company, did not find a job within a year, and felt that she was pointed out wherever she went.
Similar to "jokes", we also encountered too many when we were students.
The most beautiful and inaccessible girls in the grade are always rumored to be "chaotic in their private lives".
The most effective way for a male classmate to exclude a female classmate is to humiliate her as "used badly", "a bitch", and "sold out".
"Sex Self-Study Room"
At that time, it was easy for people to think, "Fortunately, it didn't happen to me, and I don't want to be the one who was excluded and isolated."
So the farther away you are, the better, as if as long as you are far enough away from this kind of thing, the shadow will not hang over you.
However, misogyny is the objectification of all women, can we really hide from it?
Too many girls have heard of almost the same malice they experienced — a strange man looking up and down and asking her, "How much is a night?" ”
A phrase that is easy to say has brought great humiliation to countless girls.
This kind of malice cannot be avoided, nor can we avoid being found and humiliated by closing our mouths.
Therefore, her sister herself has great admiration for the victims of This Sun Yat-sen University, and the victims of the rumors and derailments in Hangzhou last year.
The girls who were rumor-mongering in Hangzhou paid a huge price to let the rumor-mongers receive the punishment they deserved.
She chose to pursue the blame to the end and filed a criminal private prosecution with the court.
Finally, the court pronounced a verdict in court and sentenced the defendants Lang xxx and He xxx to one year's imprisonment and two years' probation for the crime of defamation, respectively. Make them pay the price.
This time, the CUHK girls, even with great pain and pressure, still insisted on using legal means to find more victims in the incident, took up the weapon of law, and tried to let the rumor-monger Zhao get the punishment he deserved.
We finally see a way to solve the girls' rumors, not to endure, but to fight back with legal weapons.
As bystanders, we should also ask rumor-mongers and rumor-mongers why they are doing such things as soon as we encounter similar problems. Because we are a community, we cannot be alone.
I don't want to see any rumor-mongers anymore, and I excuse myself with "I'm just kidding."
We are living people, not the heroines of anyone's yellow films.
