Should Qin Xiaoxian quit the circle? It's not that easy, or criminal liability is involved
The incident of Qin Xiaoxian's fans forging articles on People's Daily Online is not a simple farce in the fan circle, it reveals the deep-seated diseases in the entertainment industry chain, and also exposes the weak legal awareness of some fan groups and the almost pathological pursuit of idols. The impact of this incident goes far beyond a single artist and their fan group, it tortures the operation model and value orientation of the entire entertainment industry, and also prompts us to reflect: in the era of traffic, how to rebuild a healthy fan culture, how to regulate idol behavior, and how to maintain the authenticity of online information.
Falsifying official media articles is far more egregious than "star-chasing" in the general sense. As a state-level media, People's Daily Online's credibility brooks no violation. The falsification of his articles is not only a provocation to the authority of the media, but also a disturbance of public order. Think about it, if such behavior is not severely punished, what kind of negative impact will it have on society? Will it lead to more copycats, leading to a more clutter of online information?
In this incident, it is still inconclusive whether Qin Xiaoxian's agent instructed fans to fake. But no matter what the result is, Qin Xiaoxian can't escape the blame. As a public figure, he should guide fans to rationally chase stars and maintain social morality. Even if he is not aware of the forgery, he should be held accountable for the excesses of his fans. This is not a simple "back-off", but the responsibility of a public figure.
Some blamed the incident on the excesses of individual fans, believing that it was just "a rat poop that spoiled a pot of porridge." This view clearly understates the magnitude of the problem. Behind the behavior of fans, it is often the guidance and manipulation of the agency or team. They take advantage of the enthusiasm of their fans, create topics, hype traffic, and even touch the legal red line. Therefore, simply punishing individual fans will not solve the problem at the root of the problem.
The question we need to ask is: who is condoning these excesses? Who is exploiting the enthusiasm of their fans for personal gain? The answer may point to the deformed profit-driven mechanism in the entire entertainment industry chain. In the era when traffic is king, some brokerage companies do not hesitate to sacrifice the long-term development of artists in order to pursue short-term interests, and even defy the law.
This incident also exposed the lack of legal awareness of some fan groups. They put their love for idols above the law, and they do not hesitate to take extreme measures in order to maintain the image of their idols. This kind of blind star-chasing behavior not only damages the reputation of idols, but also ultimately hurts themselves.
Rebuilding a healthy fan culture requires a concerted effort from multiple parties. On the one hand, the regulatory authorities should strengthen the supervision of the entertainment industry and crack down on violations of laws and regulations. On the other hand, brokerage companies should strengthen the guidance of artists and fans, and advocate rational star chasing. At the same time, the media should also play a role in supervising public opinion and guiding the public to establish correct values.
More importantly, fans themselves also need to improve their legal awareness and rational thinking skills. Star chasing is not blind worship, and it should not be at the expense of law and morality. True fans should support the positive behavior of their idols, not defend their wrong behavior.
The Qin Xiaoxian incident is just a microcosm, and it reflects the deep-seated problems that the entertainment industry urgently needs to solve. Only by fundamentally changing the value orientation of traffic supremacy and strengthening industry self-discipline can we build a more healthy and orderly entertainment ecosystem. We hope that this incident will serve as a wake-up call, prompting the entire industry to reflect deeply and eventually move towards a healthy development.
We also hope that all fans can follow stars rationally, respect the law, and maintain social morality. Only in this way can you truly protect your favorite idols and contribute to the construction of a harmonious social environment.
The final outcome of this incident will have a profound impact on the entire entertainment industry. It will be an important benchmark for whether we really value the authenticity of our online information and whether we are truly committed to building a healthy fan culture. We hope that a just trial will serve as a warning to all parties involved and provide a direction for the future.
Finally, we call on the whole society to work together to create a clean and upright online environment, so that the entertainment industry can return to rationality and fan culture can return to health. This is not only to maintain social morality, but also to protect the legitimate rights and interests of each of us.
