Summary of the Core Content
This article discusses the controversy surrounding self-media blogger Feng Ge's title of "affectionate father to his daughter blogger." The main argument is that Feng Ge's portrayal of himself as a loving father is not genuine but rather a strategic move to avoid account risks and gain safe, stable traffic. By shifting sensitive topics to safer areas such as "sexual repression," he attempts to maintain his content output, yet his actions may have the opposite effect. Regardless of the outcome of the legal cases he faces, they will have a significant impact on the development of his account and the online environment.
1. "Affectionate Father to His Daughter Blogger": A Survival Strategy for Traffic Safety, Not Genuine Affection
Feng Ge's persona as an affectionate father seems more like a reluctant choice, akin to "dancing in chains." Nowadays, it is extremely risky for big influencers to portray themselves as loving fathers—sharp remarks can lead to account bans (for example, Lu Shihan and his supporters are often suspended), while offending men usually results in no consequences, but offending women can be detrimental. Therefore, he has chosen the safest route: to position himself from a female perspective and shift blame onto men, creating the appearance of being an affectionate father. Essentially, this is a way to tap into the "politically correct" traffic stream, not out of genuine love for his daughter.
2. Content Tactics: Shifting All Issues to Sensitive Areas to Avoid Risks
Feng Ge understands the platform rules well; topics like housing prices and exams are quickly deleted, but discussions about sexual repression remain safe. He frames all issues in this context: arguments online are seen as signs of sexual repression, difficulty finding a partner is considered sexual repression, and even not seeking a romantic relationship is deemed sexual repression—everything ultimately points to sexual repression. This strategy not only avoids account bans but also attracts attention through controversial topics, demonstrating a clever tactic for surviving in the self-media world.
3. The Counterproductive Effect of His "Affectionate Father" Image
Feng Ge's attempts to be an affectionate father often backfire. For instance, in the Dalian Institute of Technology incident, he sided with the female student who was expelled, but he labeled all those who supported the school as "sexually repressed." This only made the public angrier and led them to support the school instead. This is similar to Hu Xijin's approach: although he intended to take a certain side, his extreme methods led to the opposite result, causing more harm than good.
4. Three Possible Outcomes of the Legal Cases: Each with Its Own "Special Significance"
Feng Ge has been sued by the involved men, and there are three possible outcomes:
1. Criminal Charges of False Accusation Established: This would activate a rarely used legal provision, putting him on par with Kunshan Long Ge (a case of legitimate self-defense); however, since Long Ge is deceased, Feng Ge would become a "living legend."
2. Civil Lawsuit for Reputation Rights: If he wins, it could create a new precedent for how to defend oneself against false rape accusations (no one has succeeded before).
3. No Consequences: His traffic would surge, attracting more female followers and balancing the gender ratio on his account, but he would have to be more cautious in his speech and promote "positive energy."
5. The Ambiguity of the Concept of "Being an Affectionate Father"
What exactly constitutes being an affectionate father? No one can define it clearly:
- Does supporting women's rights count as being affectionate? Is employment fair in reality? Are inheritance rights equal? It's hard to say.
- Being a conservative and good husband or father counts as being affectionate? Yet, he might be criticized for being too "fatherly."
Therefore, whether Feng Ge can truly be considered an affectionate father blogger depends on the criteria used: whether it's based on his subjective intentions (to gain traffic), his objective behavior (shifting blame onto men), or the actual outcome (backfiring attempts).
This article uses Feng Ge as a case study to reveal the unspoken rules of the self-media industry: traffic safety comes first, and personas can be crafted as needed. The so-called "political correctness" is often just a tool for making money. As for whether Feng Ge is truly an affectionate father blogger, it's up to the readers to decide—after all, everyone has their own standards.
