In the two-dimensional field, Xiong Qi’s name is no stranger to many enthusiasts. From the early "Gintama" to "Yuri on Ice" to the recent "Sesshomaru", her works are numerous and have attracted much attention, and she can be called an evergreen tree in the cos circle. However, Xiong Qi has recently been involved in a public controversy for "simplifying the popularity of games and denigrating game characters", which has triggered widespread discussion and controversy.
The cause of the incident was that a netizen broke the news on a bot account that "Xiong Qi scolded Li Shen" and attached a screenshot of the chat:
These comments quickly spread among the B game player community. Many players accused Xiong Qi of inappropriate words and deeds, thinking that As a public figure, you should be more cautious in your words and deeds, and respect every fan and the culture they love. Some netizens also believe that Xiong Qi serves as the "promoter" of the other two characters, and there is nothing wrong with comparing the three characters together. What do you think about this?
Xiong Qi, who was involved in the incident, also responded immediately, posting two apology Weibo posts within 24 hours. However, this did not seem to calm the anger of the players. Three months later, Xiong Qi was once again accused of cosplaying in "Inuyasha" When Sesshomaru's character left the circle, there were still many players who liked Li Shen in the comment area who were denouncing the matter.
Whether players can subjectively evaluate B game characters seems to have always been a controversial issue in the player circle.
Some players believe that there should be a consensus not to comment on the male protagonist when playing games, but some "single push" players seem to turn attacks on the "opponent" male protagonist's appearance into weapons.
In the eyes of other players, it seems that evaluating the appearance of the male protagonist is not a taboo. There are often related discussions on social platforms.
So, as a well-known coser and a gamer, Xiong Qi how to balance these two identities has become a key issue. As a gamer, she has the right to express her opinions about games and characters, but as an influential cosplayer, her words and actions may be amplified and interpreted. In this case, how to make trade-offs is a difficult problem
Furthermore, whether Xiong Qi's personal aesthetics will really affect fans is also a question that players are more concerned about.
Everyone has their own unique aesthetic standards, and Xiong Qi is no exception. At the same time, fans also have their own standards of beauty, and it seems that fans have not changed because of her views.
In general, in the face of controversy, Xiong Qi came forward to clarify in a timely manner, showing a public figure's sense of responsibility and respect for fans. This is not only a positive response to the incident, but also an emphasis on the importance of communication and understanding within the two-dimensional cultural circle. As a member of the 2D community, both creators and fans should learn to find resonance in differences and promote growth in criticism, rather than letting temporary emotional impulses become a wall that hinders communication.
