Wow, hadn't heard of any such cases. Not totally surprised, but damn that particular apt was a mess!
The bit about china making effort to push celebrities to be positive was interesting too. Though the example they give was more propaganda-sounding.
"Some "badly behaved" influencers have even received short jail terms. In October 2018, Yang Kaili, a live-streaming celebrity with tens of millions of followers, was detained for five days for "insulting" the country's national anthem"
Asmongold is another famous case. Dude admitted on stream that the sun heating up his apartment in the morning made the smell of dead rat get worse and that was his alarm clock.
I have a friend who's way more plugged into that world than I am and told me how asmon was famous for being disgusting despite being a multi-millionaire. I'd almost suspect he lives a second life of cleanly fancy living in secret!
In this case though, was he caught representing portraying something else? And only later embraced his gross image?
