Can't believe China made the "vivasayam panraa bundamane" meme real

Why would I not block someone who calls me a stalker out of nowhere and refuses to follow up on that when I pointed it out? You’re earning another block on this account too, I’m sorry

Just recorded a fun episode with @FaultsActive on BL, fanfic, Esther Yi's excellent novel Y/N, what goes on in idol fandom in China, being a global K-Pop fan, and much much more!

.@FaultsActive and @emwritingnow on the "teeth-grinding and ambivalent dynamic between Chinese K-Pop fans, other non-Chinese fans and Korean celebrities," and the one weird metric that functions like the GDP of idol fandom: activefaults.substack.com/p/…

Completly agree that fan studies are sidelined as an academic discipline - particularly because of the whole "fangirl" media associations with - screamers since the 1950s. So, it's time to overcome the "misrepresentation of #fanquan as a space of neurosis and irrationality".
@ChaoyangTrap - my main provider of Sinospheric news, analysis & fandom survole has closed.
Yet here's Em's Women’s History Month #fanquan analysis with a specific look at female celebrity fans in #China. Highly #recommended!

"We see how entertainment exists not in a depoliticized and desocialized vacuum but is very much entangled within an unhappy marriage of the people and the state. Gender increasingly looms over this entanglement."
Another must-read @FaultsActive. activefaults.substack.com/p/…

"Chinese entertainment exists in a perpetual tug-of-war."
An excellent first full episode from @FaultsActive. activefaults.substack.com/p/…

If my memory is correct, this is the first time such strategy being used for death of party/state figure. Past examples were national mournings for huge disasters (and apparently one time for COVID victims lmao)
