When Fan Yun was an assistant professor, she once mentored a graduate student named Lin Wei-feng. In the end, the teacher pressured for the '3+11' policy, ruining Taiwan's pandemic prevention and making even North Korea laugh at us. The student was no slouch either, engaging in cognitive warfare to ruin PTT's reputation.
This article reports on media personality Chow Yuk-koku's strong warning to PTT netizens issued on the political talk show 'Politics and Economics on FTV.' Since Chow frequently criticizes Taipei Mayor Ko Wen-je, she has become a target for pro-Ko netizens on PTT. Chow publicly dared the 'Ko Cyber-Army' to continue their attacks but issued a firm warning: 'PTT accounts can be traced to real names. One day, when I'm unhappy, I will sue all of you in court.' Her remarks have triggered a new wave of controversy among PTT's online community.
In response to the 'refusal to donate' rhetoric appearing in Taiwanese online communities following the Jiuzhaigou earthquake in Sichuan, the author severely criticizes the act of linking humanitarian aid with political opposition as 'delusional' and 'disgusting.' The article references four reasons for refusing donations cited by PTT netizens (tofu-dreg projects, poor attitude toward Taiwan, corruption, etc.) and counters that while donating is a personal act of goodwill and merit, and not donating is a personal freedom, forcibly calling for a boycott and politicizing disaster relief is contemptible. The author further questions the out-of-control reaction of DPP supporters shouting for a boycott before the extent of casualties was even known, and satirically points out the double standard compared to the massive donations previously given to Japan.
A Ptt user shared his eight-year romantic history that shocked all readers. He dated his girlfriend for eight years while she pretended to be studying in America, using excuses like 'busy, can't video call' to maintain a long-distance relationship. Not until he discovered her 'second Facebook account' was the cruel truth revealed: His girlfriend had never gone to America at all and had been living in Kaohsiung the whole time. Even worse, from early in their relationship, she had another serious partner, and during the time she claimed to be abroad, she got engaged, married, and gave birth to a daughter. The boyfriend was deceived with various excuses (like coming back for Spring Festival, surprise birthdays, breakup threats and reconciliations) as her 'backup option.' His experience sparked massive discussion on Ptt, with many considering the girlfriend's double life to be 'spy-level' lies and expressing sympathy and shock for the original poster.
This article fact-checks and refutes a widely-circulated PTT post titled 'The Great Thief Who Stole Taiwan's Agricultural Technology,' focusing specifically on orchids, bananas, and grouper aquaculture. It clarifies the historical truth about former Agriculture Minister Sun Ming-hsien and the causes of Taiwan's agricultural technology transfer, exposing the original post's bias and confusion.
Article commentary on 2016 presidential election chaos between Hung Hsiu-chu and Tsai Ing-wen. The author believes Taiwan's political environment full of smearing and lying, especially on internet forums like PTT. The article explores blue-green camps' different reactions to controversies, comparing the two parties to leftists (peace/KMT) and rightists (conflict/DPP) post-French Revolution values, criticizing pro-green supporters as overly emotional, bloodthirsty, lacking moral judgment. The author finally calls stopping personal attacks, pointing to malicious edits of Hung Hsiu-chu's Wikipedia entry, predicting another noisy election.
