Recently, Rainie Yang said at the concert in Zhengzhou that "Henan people love to deceive people". Public opinion continues to ferment, and Henan netizens collectively speak out against Rainie Yang.
After the concert, Rainie Yang also apologized for her inappropriate remarks. She tweeted: "I apologize for the offensive and impolite jokes at the Zhengzhou concert, and I am willing to accept everyone's corrections and criticisms." ”
However, Rainie Yang's apology was not forgiven by Henan netizens. Even Henan official media commented on Rainie Yang's "joke".
"As a public figure, it's not funny to make such a joke about regional blackness. ”
In addition to the boycott on the Internet, many netizens complained to the official platform of the Henan Department of Culture and Tourism.
On December 10, the Henan Provincial Department of Culture and Tourism said: "Today, we have received a number of complaints from citizens, and the leaders asked feedback to the 12345 hotline." At present, the Provincial Department of Culture and Tourism has not complained about this function, and artists need to be approved by relevant units to hold concerts. Zhengzhou 12345 said that it had received feedback on the problem and was implementing it.
The staff of Henan Province 12345 said: "It will be transferred to the relevant departments for processing, and the results will be reported as soon as possible." ”
Some netizens analyzed that although this incident is bad, it is foreseeable that the punishment for Rainie Yang may not be too heavy by referring to the previous singer punishment case.
In any case, Rainie Yang's remarks once again triggered a "regional black" targeting Henan on the Internet. Some netizens who are biased themselves have once again started a "war of words" and frequently turned out Henan's previous "old accounts".
Although some unpleasant things did happen in Henan this year, such as the previous "music festival", "looting medicinal herbs" and so on. These incidents did have some bad effects on Henan. But throughout history, which region has not had a bit of a "stereotype"?
As a public figure, Rainie Yang's "joke" is undoubtedly fueling the "regional black".
This incident has once again reminded the stars of the entertainment industry that your words may cause earth-shattering waves, and "be cautious in words and deeds" is a compulsory course for public figures.
