The original meaning of internet memes is to joke, but if they cross the line, they can become cyberbullying. The song that mocked TES in the last round was actually hailed as a classic masterpiece in the e-sports circle. It still makes people laugh when they think about it. You can't blame netizens for making fun of it, because the reality is right in front of them. Representing the national team and making a fool of themselves on stage, would you want to be condemned by the whole nation, or just treat it as a joke?
The one who took it seriously is a loser. Letting it spread like wildfire might lead to its eventual oblivion, but the official decision to remove it seems to lack emotional intelligence. Just when it was thought that the song's creation would cause controversy and the removal of the cultural content would be seen as an attack on the blogger, netizens actually supported the other party. Is this a plot twist, or just a reflection of the current state of esports? China's esports industry is developing rapidly, but unfortunately, every game seems to be a hot favorite that ends up failing. While other countries are determined to win, they are simply announcing that they are "only interested in participating."
A blogger's satirical song unexpectedly went viral, drawing support from netizens who urged officials to reflect on their actions.
This minor controversy has strangely garnered a lot of support from fans on the blogger's side, making the comment section quite lively. Some even subtly mocked the players for having a fragile mentality, saying they played the worst and couldn't be criticized, only appeased, and directly called out the Chinese teams. From a neutral standpoint, if the results were terrible, they should accept criticism. Removing the song suggests they can't handle losing; how will they deal with future ridicule? Failure is the mother of success; there are wins and losses in competitions. Bringing up the problems allows for reflection and finding the root cause, which is essential for improvement.
A parody song has elicited such a strong reaction. If it were replaced by insults and boycotts of the team and the game, is this the situation the official organizers want to see? Winning brings applause, losing brings boos. Of course, the defeat is a fact. Some argue that there should be limits to using memes; jokes are acceptable, but malicious attacks are not. The esports community shouldn't be fixated on the sensitivity of this song, but rather should analyze the defeat in the global championship. Would silencing the critics help with future performances? Instead of trying to suppress negative comments, the most effective way is to prove oneself with strength and deliver a convincing performance on the international stage next year. Only then can people's impression of the national team be changed.
