Xiao Zhan fans reported that the AO3 storm has been fermenting for more than half a month, and there are still controversies on the Internet. On March 11, the official microblog of the Supreme People's Procuratorate, " Procuratorial Daily ", published five commentary articles in the fifth and sixth editions of the rule of law commentary edition, expressing various voices of netizens and discussing the relevant legal issues.
At 13:00 p.m. on February 24, Weibo user "Didi Escape" posted a serial of the latest chapter of the fan article "Fallen" on Weibo. In the article, Xiao Zhan is a hair salon girl with gender cognitive impairment, and Wang Yibo is a minor high school student who fell in love with him. This setting has attracted strong dissatisfaction from Xiao Zhan's fans.
2:05 pm at 18:05 pm on February 26, Xiao Zhan only fans @小利利利利利利利利利利利利利利利利利利利利利利利利利利利利利利利利利利利利利利利利利利利利利利利利利利利利利利利利利利利利利利利利利利利利利利利利利�
@Banan District Xiaotu Zambi Continuously clarifying her position, emphasizing that the report of the article "Falling" is not just for the benefit of Xiao Zhan's fan group, but for the vast number of victimized artists who have been written into fancies.
She said that Xiao Zhan fans have no intention of causing trouble for the AO3 website, they only care about maintaining the reputation rights of celebrities.
Next, the situation gradually expanded. Many Xiao Zhan fans joined in the condemnation of the author of "Fallen" and the fan writer. Subsequently, the author of "Didi Escape" blocked the "Deffer" series on Lofter, and the author himself changed his name to avoid the limelight.
On the evening of February 27, Xiao Zhan’s fans’ continuous real-name reports began to show results. A large number of articles on the Lofter platform were locked, and many creators also hid their names due to concerns and temporarily "run away". AO3 Baidu Tieba, AO3 official website, same-sex content on B website, and Lofter writer content were blocked.
At 10:20 am on February 29, AO3’s official Weibo issued a statement, giving an official explanation for the “warning tag”:
Regarding the question of “whether fan creation infringes on the rights of real people”, AO3’s reply was: Fan behavior does not constitute personal attacks, but “substantive harm is prohibited.”
At this time, the fan-creation culture that has been formed over the past decades has a special self-protection mechanism, and then press the "Report" key. Creators in the European and American, Japanese and Korean circles, anime, fan art, Danmei and other circles rose up to oppose Xiao Zhan’s fan reporting and creation platform. Passers-by in the fan circle began to transfer their dissatisfaction with Xiao Zhan’s fans to Xiao Zhan himself, that is, “Fan’s behavior, idols pay for it.”
0 At the early morning of March 1, passers-by launched an attack on Xiao Zhan’s commercial endorsement, and Xiao Zhan’s reputation in all aspects was almost shaky. "I won't buy it when he endorses it, and fans act as idols to pay for it."
At the same time, olAY's Taobao live broadcast room has comments about "Boycott Xiao Zhan" every second, and the fire of prairie fire has burned all over the Internet. The endorsement of Xiao Zhan, which includes Mengniu real fruit grain, is also in danger. The associated products of "Xiao Zhan" can no longer be searched for in Mengniu Jingdong's self-operated store.
The remarks under Estee Lauder’s official Weibo have fallen, mostly because of “boycotting spokesperson Xiao Zhan.”
Around 5 a.m. on March 1, Xiao Zhan fans realized the seriousness of the situation and began to cut off the group and expelled the fan circle by @Banan District Xiaotu Zambi, the leader of the incident, in order to protect the fan circle and Xiao Zhan himself.
Apology Press:
On March 1, Xiao Zhan Studio posted an apology on Weibo: Recently, we have noticed some debates about Xiao Zhan’s fans, occupied some social public resources, and brought some trouble to everyone the impact of our troubles on this matter. We express our deep regret and apologies.
However, the whole storm did not end. This massive public opinion war seems to be in the end, but unexpectedly welcomes official authoritative opinions. On March 11, the official microblog of the Supreme People's Procuratorate, "Procuratorial Daily", published five commentary articles in the fifth and sixth editions of the rule of law commentary edition.

Chapter 4: Two dimensions for judging the Xiao Zhan incident
The two dimensions expressed by the author are: 1. The legal risks of fan works, including possible infringement of copyright and related rights, possible infringement of reputation rights, and possible suspected of illegal and criminal activities. 2. Whether the fan behavior is legal and reasonable: the subject of maintaining the reputation of a celebrity should be himself, not the fans; the dispute should be handled in court, not the Internet.
Chapter 5: Procuratorial Daily: Legal issues involved in " fan novel "
The author discussed whether Xiao Zhan and Wang Yibo's fan novel "Fallen" infringes on the right to name, reputation, portrait rights, and commercialization rights, which constitute several issues.
