Chapter 327 Chapter Memorial
Those internet trolls jumped up and down and made unreasonable demands in the comment section of Su Xing's Weibo.
People who understand some of the tricks of Internet water armies may be able to tell that these accounts are abnormal, but many netizens are easily instigated, especially when some water armies disguise themselves as ordinary netizens and seem to be participating in "discussions", but are actually setting the tone, which can easily stir up public emotions.
For example, they seized on certain key words, quoted them out of context, confused the public, and attacked Su Xing, saying that she was deliberately distorting various relationships such as family, friendship, and love, and flooded the comment section with questions about Su Xing.
[Is a normal quarrel between couples considered PUA? Are there couples in this world who don’t quarrel?]
[It is inevitable that couples will have some bumps in their lives, but in the artist's mouth, it has become the so-called PUA? Ridiculous!]
[A normal conflict between friends is also considered PUA? It is also wrong to help friends correct their shortcomings?! ]
[Which parent doesn’t want their children to be good? Is it wrong to think about the children? ? ]
[Artist, are you deliberately misleading people to think that all kinds of relationships are PUA?]
[Isn’t PUA just an art of picking up girls? How could it be distorted and uglier by artists? ? ]
[Does PUA really have such a big impact on people? Is the artist exaggerating or making alarmist statements?]
One big hat after another was put on Su Xing.
At first glance, comments like these seem to be true.
Because Su Xing did point out the PUA phenomenon that exists in many relationships.
Some netizens thought it made sense and started making a fuss in the comment section.
Some awakened fans and smart netizens tried to reason with the public in the comment section.
[When did the artist say that normal quarrels between couples and occasional fights between friends are PUA? Will normal quarrels always suppress the other party? Will they always say things like "I am the only one who treats you well" or "I am the only one who tolerates you"?]
[Isn't it PUA to control others in the name of "I'm doing this for your own good" and treat them as puppets?]
[PUA is not just a one-off conflict or a dispute over a specific issue. Whether it is intentional or unintentional, it is a repeated or even long-term brainwashing behavior that has caused negative mental damage to the other party. This is PUA! This is also the view of the artist. Is it interesting that some people take it out of context? Among the victims in the comment section who talked about their experiences of PUA, which one was just an ordinary quarrel or conflict?]
[PUA originated in the United States. It did mean "the art of picking up girls" at first. But in the 80s, it had evolved into "pickup art" in the United States. Then this "pickup art" was applied to various relationships. Finally, it was quoted by some Chinese students who returned to China and pushed this system towards commercialization. This is the evolution history of PUA. How did it become a distortion and vilification by the artist?]
[Is this an exaggeration or alarmist statement? Didn’t the victims in the comment section tell you?]
Of course, those internet trolls would not listen to netizens’ explanations and continued to make a lot of noise.
Their purpose is to set the tone. They don't really know how to reason at all, and of course it's impossible to be convinced.
Some marketing accounts also joined in the action with long speeches.
Some of these marketing accounts may be trying to take advantage of the popularity, but it is hard to say why some of them are joining in the fun.
Many people who have never experienced PUA and have never seen similar information on the Internet have begun to doubt: Is PUA really as scary as the artist says?
Su Xing slid the screen and sighed in his heart.
A few years later, the era of short videos arrived, and more and more incidents were exposed on the Internet. There were many cases of PUA, and many of them even caused serious consequences. Only then did some people realize how terrible PUA was.
At the end of 2021, at an official meeting, the draft revision of the Law on the Protection of Women's Rights and Interests was reviewed for the first time, legislating against the use of mind control (PUA) to harm women.
This is the result paid for by many victims with their blood, tears, and even their lives?
Of course, many people who have not experienced it still don't take it seriously and think it's an exaggeration.
Gao Yang, Pei Shiqi and Zhang Caifeng saw Su Xing holding the phone with a complicated expression. They were stunned for a moment, then they also took out their phones and opened Weibo.
Gao Yang, "Fuck! What the hell is this? Why do so many haters suddenly appear?!"
Pei Shiqi scrolled through the comments section and said, "Someone must have hired some online trolls to mess things up on purpose!"
Zhang Caifeng was a little panicked, "Su Xing, I... did I cause you trouble..."
Su Xing comforted Zhang Caifeng and said, "It's none of your business, don't think too much about it."
Gao Yang looked at Su Xing, frowned and asked, "How are you going to deal with this?"
Pei Shiqi said, "How about I ask my dad's Uncle Tao in the PR department? He should have a way to handle this kind of thing."
Just as Su Xing was about to speak, her cell phone rang and a call came in.
She looked down and saw that it was He Xu calling.
She told her roommates, "I'm going to take a call and talk to you later."
"Okay, pick it up."
Su Xing walked to the balcony and answered the phone, "Hello?"
"Xiao Xing, it's me." He Xu's voice was a little hoarse.
Su Xing couldn't help asking: "Didn't you get enough rest? Did you stay up late?"
On the other end of the phone, He Xu pinched his brows. He was working on an algorithm last night and didn't get much rest.
It was not until he received a call from Tang Wu not long ago that he found out what had happened on the Internet.
He said, "I'm fine. I'll take a nap after I'm done with this. By the way, I saw what happened online. Don't worry about it. How about letting me handle it? I have some friends in this area."
Su Xing agreed without much hesitation, "Okay! Thank you for your hard work, Teacher He~"
Why be polite to your boyfriend?
Since he has already said that there is this relationship, she still insists on handling it herself without his help. That would be too polite and hypocritical.
He Xu was very happy to hear Su Xing agreed to his help, and he was willing to do something for her.
But when he heard her call him "Teacher He", he almost choked on his own saliva!
"Ahem...don't call me Teacher He..."
Su Xing said innocently, "Why? Didn't I always call you that before?"
He Xu, "...You also said that, that was in the past."
Su Xing, "Hey, okay."
The two exchanged a few more words and then hung up the phone in a hurry.
When Su Xing returned to the dormitory, everyone saw the expression on her face and guessed who had called.
Pei Shiqi dragged her voice, "Is this your Mr. He's phone number?"
"Yeah~" Su Xing nodded and admitted, then added: "He told me not to worry about the things on the Internet, and said he would take care of it."
After hearing what Su Xing said, several roommates felt a little jealous.
They all said "Oh~~"
Gao Yang finally commented, "You, Mr. He, are quite useful."
