I thought the kerfluffle over the Magnolia Awards nomination for Best Actor had died down, to which I mean Wang Yibo‘s fandom throwing an absolutely fit and melting down over Wang Yang getting the nomination for their drama War of Faith. This weekend it was reignited when the L’Officiel Hommes China cover and pictorial featuring Wang Yang was released. There is one shot of Wang Yang squatting on the lid of a toilet like he’s “stepping on the toilet” and that upset Wang Yibo fans because the insult moniker for their fandom is toilet. I shit (pun intended) you not. This is such an embarrassing 對號入座 (matching seat number and sitting in the seat) because by getting offended it’s like Wang Yibo’s fandom actually acknowledges the insult lobbed towards them as toilets. Of course the most likely explanation is that the entirety of Wang Yang’s pictorial concept and shoot was framed by the magazine and photographer and that’s all there is to it, no underlying meaning. But if it was an intentional troll then it’s absolutely brilliant lol.
