I became emperor in the Tang Dynasty by relying on the palace fighting system

"Border girls refer to those bloggers on short video platforms who make all kinds of provocative actions."

Li Zhao hesitated for a moment and said, "Rather than calling them borderline girls, I prefer to call them [bloggers who love to play tricks]."

"They may not really want to skirt the line and undermine social ethos, but are taking advantage of men's lustful nature and playing some tricks to attract attention and generate traffic."

[Green Grape Apricot]: I am also curious about your opinion on skirting the line, because it is true that the current economic situation is not good, and many young women without high education will enter this industry.

Li Zhao burst out laughing: "It's not a big deal to enter this industry. After all, there is no threshold to enter this industry."

"Short videos are not a bad industry, and being an online blogger is a serious profession, not a scam."

"We should not subconsciously stigmatize this industry and its workers. Most bloggers on decent platforms are decent people."

"Teacher Yuanyuan on Douyu dances around during the day, and her live broadcast room has been blocked more than 50 times, but she donated all the money she earned to poor mountainous areas, and also went to the mountainous areas to teach. She is a true clavicle bodhisattva."

"When asked why she did this, she just said it was the fastest way to make money."

"She doesn't dare to bet on human kindness, but she dares to bet on human desires."

Qing Luan sighed: "Alas! Speaking of which, it is really ironic that many people now dare not bet on the kindness of human nature."

Li Zhao said: "We will analyze this phenomenon later. Let's continue answering questions."

Li Zhao fixed this PPT: "Let's answer this baby's doubts paragraph by paragraph."

[青提杏子]: But I also feel that there are still so many women at the bottom of society who are fighting for compensation through their own labor, such as doing physical work like delivering food. Women who do such work will inevitably deepen other people's stereotypes about the female group, and further deepen the difficulty for women to break through the ceiling in the workplace.

Li Zhao hummed: "Internet bloggers are also working, but they are doing mental labor instead of physical labor."

"They get paid for their labor, but the way they get paid is different."

"They are not selling their bodies, but using their bodies to act, performing content that the audience likes, selling their own works - short videos, monetizing traffic, and getting paid."

"As for what you said, borderline women will deepen people's stereotypes about women, this is indeed the case, because people will always label women in various ways and create new stereotypes about women."

"But that's not the question. Let me ask you, who are the most popular female bloggers on TikTok right now?"

Fans on the barrage raised their hands to answer.

[Green Grapes and Apricots]: September, September!

【Frost Prisoner】: Li Ziqi!

Li Zhao nodded with satisfaction: "Yes, it's them."

"In the process of becoming top bloggers, they have shown more netizens the hardworking, beautiful, wise and kind-hearted women of the new era in China. They are role models for women."

"Besides them, there are so many lovely and respectable girls on the Internet who are shaping the image of all women."

"We really don't have to worry about a few [tricksters] reinforcing stereotypes about women as a whole."

Qingluan flew from Li Zhao's left shoulder to his right shoulder: "As for whether their existence will make it more difficult for women to break through the ceiling in the workplace, you don't have to worry, my dears. They are not on the same track at all. They have nothing to do with each other."

"Women's difficulties in the workplace are not stereotypes, but employment discrimination and difficulties in fertility."

Li Zhao added a final sentence: "Finally, take a look at this."

[Green Grape Apricot]: Personally, I hope that the number of people like this can be reduced as much as possible, but as a woman, I don’t want to be too harsh on them.

Li Zhao smiled: "There is no need to hope that this group of people will decrease. They are not going into the adult entertainment industry, so we don't need to blame them."

Li Zhao pondered for a moment and sighed, "Besides, rather than hoping that this kind of group will decrease, I hope that the number of people who like to watch the edge will decrease."

"Because there is no demand, there is no market, and there are no people who want to squeeze into the market to make money."

"How should I put it? [The social friction] is the result. We should trace the source and explore the cause of [the social friction]."

"We should perhaps focus more on thinking about why our civilization has developed to such an extent, but there are still edge cases."

Li Zhao read a lot of books for this purpose, and finally determined the reason why a large number of borderline phenomena appeared on short video platforms.

"I have thought of some reasons, which are just my personal opinions. We can all think about them together."

"The first reason why the platform is skirting the line is that there are many viewers who like to watch it, the market is wide, and the traffic is large."

"The second reason is that capital smells the scent of the market and money, and mass-produces borderline videos, so naturally there are more and more bloggers who skirt the line."

Li Zhao said: "Why are there so many viewers who like to skirt the line?"

"The reason is very simple. Food and sex are also part of human nature."

"Humans have sexual desires, and it is impossible to suppress them for long. Watching videos online is a way to vent those desires."

"It's just a minor offense. Even girls watch porn videos. You know what I mean."

"When viewers who like to watch it, they mostly do so to satisfy their own sexual fantasies, sexual desires, and gazes."

Qingluan added: "The reason why it is called gazing here, rather than male gazing, is because it is not only female bloggers who are rubbing shoulders, but also male bloggers."

"Women also like to look at beautiful women and handsome men, imagining that the other person is their husband or wife, and then imagining that they have a penis, or have sex with them."

"So what we are talking about here is [gaze], and this word does not distinguish between men and women."

Qing Luan said: "Then, the problem arises again."

"Why do this girl named [青提杏子] and the vast majority of people think that "擦边" only refers to "擦边女" and is a label that belongs exclusively to female bloggers?"

"If exposing one's body and doing some provocative, non-illegal actions is considered borderline, then some male bloggers are also borderline men."

"Obviously, when we see male bloggers showing off their abs, we also have sexual fantasies. Why do people assume that "borderline" is a title exclusive to female bloggers, and at the same time express disdain and criticism towards female bloggers, while subconsciously ignoring male bloggers who "borderline"?"
