Yesterday, I woke up at eleven, went to the barber store, then headed to a meeting at a café in Wangjing, found a brewery nearby for a drink around three o’clock, and almost went to the theater in the evening.
This was the roadmap I volunteered to follow.
If I had the misfortune to come into contact with Xin Guan, the above-mentioned course of action would have been leaked to the net by a powerful person, and I am afraid that my 1.8-meter height, 30-centimeter-long hair, and 18-digit ID number would not have survived. No one sympathizes with me, comfort me, I will be programmed into the paragraph.
I’m not sure what kind of serious person can get up at eleven o’clock, but it’s a duck, right?
Drinking at 3:00 in the afternoon, this pussy is a bum, right?
Do you want to go to the theater in the evening and not bother your neighbors with the smell of alcohol?
You have to go pick up after the show, right?
I already felt disgraced just thinking about it, to use a popular phrase: social death.
However, this encounter really happened to a twenty-year-old girl in Chengdu.
She moved to several bars overnight and was considered by netizens to be an escort, a bee, a transit queen, and a member of the atmosphere group.
What’s more, some sent out screenshots of her circle of friends, sending out photos of her and cursing her to, “May I ask which one of you has no eyes to ask such an ugly one to come to the trampoline! “
The girl’s privacy, which had to be surrendered for epidemic control, was turned over to the Internet for public ridicule.
People are at a loss as to what to do about the virus, but they are ready to use slut shaming and character assassination.
Where science has not yet shone, the moral stick is wielded.
If the unlucky person happens to appear to be “leading a disorderly life,” the stomp is even stronger.
Sadly, the people who denounce net violence and leak citizens’ privacy are all powerless groups like us.
A citizen’s “social death” does not attract the attention of more powerful institutions.
For example, on the “Zhihu” platform, a reply based on gossip claiming that the girl has a foreign investor behind her has received 67 likes, and although many users have denounced it as a rumor, the platform still doesn’t do anything about it.
After the massive leak of citizens’ information, not a single authority has come forward, claiming that it will be pursued to the end.
The big media, which can post dozens of news and comments a day, can hold up a certain netizen with power, but they can’t even post a short, provocative commentary on the violent invasion of citizens’ privacy.
I am anxious that the readers I can influence already know that it is wrong to spread rumors, flesh, and reveal citizens’ privacy, while the official media, which have a huge voice, reach out to more groups, and are good at controlling the direction, are indifferent.
At this point, I see that the official microblogging site of the Chengdu Daily has finally commented.
Before she was diagnosed, she was just an ordinary young person in a city with a population of over 21 million people. The tune. She deserves our compassion and concern as an unfortunate victim of the virus. Ask yourself how many of us have actually lived like her lately, and why we should judge her too harshly from God’s point of view, with the benefit of hindsight.
A netizen commented: “Finally a government media out to say a fair word, obviously for the family is very unfortunate things, but turned into a national gossip orgy, no compassion and moral bottom line, really make people speechless! “
Finally, some official media came out to say something fair. This “fairness” should have preceded the gossip.
It’s not hard to say a fair word, it’s about the grace and culture of a country and a city.
It’s a matter of a city’s manners and culture. It’s better to spend a lot of effort to make a person popular than to save an innocent person.
Thinking Question: How do you think this kind of Internet violence can be avoided?
