The mascot of the Taiwan Literary Museum "A Long" was recently exposed as plagiarizing the mainland painter "Aowu Longbao". However, the Taiwan Literary Museum not only denied it twice, but also accused the other party of "plagiarism". But in the end, the plot turned around. After mainland painters gave evidence, the Taiwan Literature Museum issued an apology statement recently, admitting that the relevant images were indeed not original to the manufacturer, and the relevant "evidence" was also forged by the manufacturer, triggering public criticism on the island.
Previously, when the plagiarism news was first exposed, the Taiwan Literature Museum used the "evidence" provided by the entrusted manufacturer to explain to the outside world, and plausibly insisted that "there is absolutely no plagiarism." However, the mainland painter later disclosed the entire creative process, including sketches and timelines. Many Taiwanese netizens also dug up relevant details and questioned whether the "evidence" disclosed by the Taiwan Literature Museum was forged. In addition, the "Bengshijie Digital Creative Company" that was exposed to plagiarism was also criticized by netizens. The company has exclusively received bids from the Democratic Progressive Party authorities for 8 years, with 37 bids totaling more than NT$70 million, including the bid for the Taiwan Literature Museum. The case alone accounted for NT$12.59 million. For the voices and support of many Taiwanese netizens, the original mainland painter posted a message on social media to express his gratitude. After learning the truth, Taiwanese netizens left messages to express their support: "Support the original author from mainland China", "Come on, I'm sorry, some people on the island have brought you some unhappiness", "Cheer up the teacher, such a thing happened." "I'm very sorry!"
In the face of facts and evidence, a few days later, the Taiwan Literature Museum and its client "Bengshijie Digital Creative Company" had to issue an apology statement, admitting that the work was not original, "but was drawn based on Internet illustrations." , indeed infringes upon the rights of the original creator. However, the belated apology from the Taiwan Literature Museum did not calm the anger of public opinion, and related topics continue to be hotly debated on the island. Taiwanese netizens criticized this as a "large-scale car rollover scene" and angrily denounced "Shame, Taiwan's shame!" "Plagiarism is plagiarism, no matter what reference you make" "Admit mistakes if they are made, it's really ugly" "Create fake evidence to counter the original." The author’s plagiarism goes beyond the lower limits of human despicability.”
Regarding this plagiarism incident, Taiwan's "United Daily News" published a comment on the 18th, pointing out that the Taiwan Literature Museum actually staged such an outrageous plagiarism, forgery, and frame-up drama, and personally demonstrated what it means to dodge, hide, and shirk responsibility. The cyber army's flanks and some media have even joined forces to bully the original creator... The article stated that when reviewing the mistakes they made, in addition to subjecting the original creator to the impact of false rumors and online violence, the article also stated that the original creator was deliberately downplayed. , is obviously disrespectful to the creators, the differences in the museum’s previous statements and the revelation by netizens that “Bounce World” has received multiple bids from the Democratic Progressive Party authorities have made people question whether there are private exchanges of interests. Dislike.
