Rant on Recent Wu YiFan Scandal
So, in case you haven't heared, there was a scandal that had broken about a girl claiming to have dated Kris and then leaked a bunch of pictures http://lyrics.kashigasa.com/post/111823225275/girl-claims-her-friend-dated-with-kris-releases
At first, I was like WHAT THE ?! But then I remembered that in November, Kris' Instagram, WeChat, and Email were hacked. Since his email was hacked this means that any other account made with that email like an iCloud were potentially hacked too. So, I assumed that the actually pictures of him were stolen and that the screenshots of the conversations were photoshopped (it's not that hard, trust me, I do a lot of photo editing and graphics work). Therefore, I didn't give the rumor much merit (actually, I didn't believe any of it, it was a little too shady for my liking).
However, Kris' reputation is potentially ruined among international fans (the Chinese fans don't care http://daddy-yifan.tumblr.com/post/111943918615/trans-c-netz-comments-on-wyfs-leaked-photos )
Kris' team has replied to the incident: http://lyrics.kashigasa.com/post/111874631805/wu-yi-fans-team-responds-to-kris-ex-girlfriend
Then I found out that the post was all from a fanfic that had used stolen pictures: http://www.koreaboo.com/rumor/netizen-leaks-private-photos-of-kris-wu-yifan-together-with-alleged-ex-girlfriend/
And now, I am livid. I get it, writing fanfiction is fun, so is reading it (usually) and I think it can be a great hobby. But was it really necessary to use STOLEN, PERSONAL PICTURES of him for it? Was it worth the damage you have caused to his reputation? Was it worth the potential dafamation of character lawsuit? I hope it was because you can't do anything to fix the damage you caused.
Sorry, but I really needed to get that out otherwise I'd just be sitting on my couch, letting my feelings boil until I inevitably explode.
