CCTV News:These days, the hip-hop singer PG One has been criticized by Ziguangge, the official website of the Communist Youth League Central Committee, People’s Daily, CCTV News and other authoritative organizations because there are a lot of negative factors in her lyrics. Among them, Ziguangge even issued three Weibo articles in succession, criticizing PG One for drug-related, vulgar music and insulting women.

On January 7th, it was revealed in Weibo that PG One fans mistakenly thought that Ziguangge was a hotel official micro, and they suspected that the hot search topic "Ziguangge gutter oil" wanted to destroy it. At the same time, searching for "Ziguangge" in Weibo, besides the first-ranked gutter oil, other topics include "selling incense burners", "marketing numbers" and "restaurants".
After the "Ziguangge Waste Oil" was listed, Ziguangge Guanwei publicly responded in a humorous tone. "# Ziguangge Waste Oil # was hot searched? How to deal with this negative public opinion? The purple baby can only hide in the Ziguangge Hotel in the downstairs canteen and tremble. "
According to the certification data of Ziguangge in Weibo, Ziguangge is a Weibo established by Ziguangge magazine of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China State Organs Working Committee, which is an important party magazine of the State Council system. Obviously, as an authoritative media, Ziguangge has nothing to do with hotels.
The reply from the official of Ziguangge, Microcomputer Zhi, triggered a network carnival. The major officials "practiced the party’s mass line education and practice activities, and truly came from the masses, went to the masses, and became one with the people!"
According to media reports, hot search in Weibo has become an industrial chain, with the top three quotes in the hot search list ranging from 50,000 to 60,000 yuan. This further strengthens the suspicion that PG One fans buy hot search black Ziguangge. Some netizens even broke the news that PG One fans are launching crowdfunding, and each 50 yuan is preparing for the next round of action.
The behavior of PG One fans suspected of buying hot search has attracted a lot of criticism, and netizens have accused fans of being distorted and losing their minds. Some netizens pointed out: "Everyone criticized PG One because they were worried that he would bring bad young people. Fans of PG One proved to the central media with practical actions that PG One did bring bad young people."
However, the incident began to reverse on the afternoon of the 8 th. In response to the hot search behavior, Weibo officially responded publicly, saying "‘ Ziguangge waste oil ’ I didn’t go to the hot search list yesterday! " Weibo said that the word began to be searched by users at 19:30 on the 7th. In the normal search volume, only 3.26% of users paid attention to "Honghuahui PG_ONE", and the rest were enthusiastic participants of a large number of (onlookers) users, which led to the continuous rise of the popularity. It was displayed in the "real-time rising hotspot" at 20:42 and lasted for more than ten minutes. However, due to the lack of search volume, it failed to board the website. In other words, the "hot search list" of netizens’ screenshots is not the top "hot search list", but a "real-time rising hot spot", because the participation of onlookers led to an increase in heat, and later it did not go to the real hot search list.
Weibo’s official response proves that the hot search on "Ziguangge Waste Oil" is not driven by PG One fans, but is caused by onlookers.
In addition, Weibo also said that there are indeed promotions and advertisements on the hot search list, and advertisements are displayed with the word "recommendation" on the right side of the list. However, "Ziguangge gutter oil" cannot be purchased as a hot word. "Advertising also has a review mechanism, and it can only be used if it is legal and compliant."
This practice of setting up a target and then criticizing it has naturally aroused the resentment of some netizens. Netizens began to reflect on the attack on PG One fans:
In fact, if you only attack your own vertical target, it will only make the supporter more determined and attract some resentment from the neutral party. It is said that there is a way to whitewash the pink circle, that is, fans themselves add a little false black material and then overthrow it, which will make people who don’t know the truth think that all these black materials are false. This situation must not be what the masses of onlookers want to see.
However, although the "Ziguangge gutter oil" incident is just the entertainment of onlookers, idolize, whose fans are blind and irrational, is still worthy of attention. From the "seeking for a hammer" of Joker Xue fans to the blind maintenance of PG One fans, the reality has proved that idolize, who is irrational, can not only help idols, but also harm idols and even lead the fire to himself. When our favorite idol does something wrong, we should support him to bear the due price, and then believe that he will turn over a new leaf instead of desperately defending him.
