A few things regarding Chenkouenkou and Pufferchicken. I’ve taken time to calm down, organise my thoughts and translate the evidence. I believe it’s time to bring this to light.
Firstly, a disclaimer: this thread is NOT intended to spread hate or encourage direct attacks towards anyone. However, I believe fans deserve to be aware of certain behaviours from content creators within this fandom.
They have openly criticised, nitpicked and made negative remarks about RBMK, particularly SS2, all over Chinese social media, whilst encouraging similar criticism towards Emo, Arian and Caleb.
Yet on X and TikTok, they continued posting as usual, without publicly addressing the criticism they’ve expressed elsewhere.
I’m not saying content creators cannot criticise a series or express disappointment. Everyone is entitled to their own opinions, and constructive criticism is perfectly valid.
However, what I’d like to bring attention to is the inconsistency between what they’ve said on Chinese platforms to C-fans and what non-C-fans get to see.
I’ll be sharing the original posts, screenshots, translations, and relevant context so everyone can examine the evidence and form their own opinions.
Firstly, presenting the screenshot of Chenkouenkou:
P1: On 24th Oct, when this video dropped. She expressed outrage over the “chin issue”, and threatened to write a fanfic portraying him as a psycho who would unalive people over it.
P2: the fanfic she wrote (Original left, my translation right).
P3: Praising her own Caleb model while expressed disdain for Emo’s.
P4: Interaction with her followers. Criticising SS2.
She wants to steal Caleb from Emo, and it's clear that she hates Emo. She actually thinks she's better than the original. Isn't that nonsense?(BTW Chinese fans are all love RBMK, and only a few, like this one, are spreading hatred.
I want to tell everyone what Chenkouenkou has done. Before Season 2, EMO released some videos, and she didn't like Caleb's face, thinking his chin was too ugly. That's what Figures 1 and 2 are about. I fully understand that everyone has different tastes, and that people can interpret the plot differently; I respect and acknowledge all of that.
However, Figure 3 is a passage from her fanfic The Psychopath. The gist is that Caleb is unhappy with how the painter drew his chin, making it look hideous, so he takes an axe and kills the painter. I don't know if I'm being too sensitive, but I feel the painter is meant to represent EMO, and her dislike of EMO has reached a point I can't understand.
Here, I also want to say to Chen's fans: go ahead and report my posts or criticize me, but I'm only stating the facts. You know better than anyone how you've been sniping at EMO in passive-aggressive ways on Redbook, so don't act innocent on X.

Lastly, I hope everyone will think critically, look at the evidence, and arrive at their own conclusions. I’m not here to dictate who you should support or what opinions you should hold.
Personally, I have very little respect for this kind of two-faced behaviour. I love Caleb, Arian and Emo, and I cannot stand seeing them being spoken about so disrespectfully.
I’m bringing this to light not to spread hate, but to stand up for the characters and creators we have come to love, as well as the production team who have invested so much time, effort and creativity into bringing RBMK to life.
Let’s not forget that we’re fortunate enough to enjoy their work, which has been made accessible to us free of charge. The least we can do is show some appreciation.
We can be critical without being hateful. We can be disappointed without being disrespectful. And we can express our opinions without forgetting to be grateful.
I hope this fandom can choose to spread more positivity, appreciation and encouragement rather than negativity, entitlement and self-indulgence.
Let’s not bite the hand that feeds us. ❤️
Much love to @emouniverse26 and everyone who continues to work hard to bring RBMK to us. We are still here, and we are still supporting you! 🙏🏻

I saw someone said they didn't like how Caleb appeared skinnier in Season 2.
Okay. Creators' choice aside, anybody would lose weight after a month worrying about their loved one still not waking up after a traumatic incident & then went straight into fighting a deranged brother.
I have now seen almost every one of my moots and losing it over this Arian throughout the day and the other moots not yet losing it have yet to come online and seen him... We're all collectively losing our shits over Arian and I think that's beautiful just like he is... 🫠
@rbmkac Please just report these people. Attacking Emo, spreading hate against RBMK, and even insulting Caleb in S2 are absolutely unforgivable. This kind of behavior is completely unacceptable!
@rbmkac 评论区有些人大可不必因为这件事直接拉所有中国粉丝下水,就事论事,别趁机发泄私人恩怨。
There’s no need for some commenters to lump all Chinese fans together for this. Stay on topic, and don’t use this to take out your personal grievances.
went on bilibili and there’s this beef going on. so apparently a few rbmk fanwork creators there (who are here on twitter as well) made some hate speech against rbmk and emo after s2’s release cuz they think s2 ruined Arian and Caleb for them…?
