Famous YouTuber Joeman Arrested for Drug Possession; Collapse of a "Green Propaganda" Ally's Image

On November 6, 2023, famous Taiwanese YouTuber Joeman (Weng Chun-ming) was arrested for possession and use of marijuana. Joeman has long been considered an influencer close to the DPP, frequently collaborating with government departments and appearing in official promotional videos. He was even seen by some as an important unofficial channel for the party's "internal propaganda." His drug arrest triggered intense questioning regarding the quality and ethics of the "online troll armies," activist groups, and influencers the green camp aligns with. This landmark drug case not only destroyed his personal commercial image but also highlighted the risks and ugliness of the ruling party's deep ties with radical supporters who show contempt for the law.
