Abstract

In this article I illustrate the evolvement of the marginalised danmei (the Chinese equivalent of Japanese Boys Love) into a fandom-like subculture in contemporary China. I investigate danmei writers and their fanbases by analysing works and rankings on the leading female-oriented literature website Jinjiang and discussions on social media platforms represented by Weibo. Danmei writers are frequently correlated with (accused) overhyping and smear campaigns, and their fans contribute financially and in a form of maneuvring public discourse on social media, which is attributed to fangirls’ psychological and social pressure, as well as the prevailing capitalism and consumerism. Therefore, I argue that such a fandom-like phenomenon is only a ‘popularity bubble’, which by no means indicates an embracement of danmei as a literary genre and subculture or homosexuality as minority sexual orientation in China. Worse still, since some danmei fans demonstrate toxic fan practices such as cyber manhunt and online harassment and abuse, this ‘popularity bubble’ impinges upon danmei in a detrimental manner by imperilling its reputation and hindering its (fan) creation. To cite this article (7th APA style): Wang, A.

Abstract

From its initial participation in the SEA Games in 1977 to 2019, the Indonesian men's basketball team has never won a gold medal. Before the 2022 SEA Games, Indonesia created history by becoming the first country to win a gold medal. This study aims to understand better the conversation surrounding the 2022 Southeast Asian Games men's basketball team. This qualitative study employs Van Dijk's critical discourse analysis method. The study's analysis unit is online news on Mainbasket.com from April 1 to May 29, 2022. The finding of this study demonstrates that the conversation in the online news outlet "Mainbasket" has picked up signs of apprehension among the Indonesian basketball team ahead of the 2022 SEA Games in Vietnam. Mainbasket also highlights the four leading players of the Indonesian national basketball team. Mainbasket also appreciated the athletes for winning the first gold medal in Indonesian basketball. In addition, this victory is only considered a stepping stone towards the FIBA ASIA Cup 2022 and leads to a match at the FIBA World Cup 2023. To cite this article (7th APA style): Putranto, T.
