Shelly and Sheena have their views on Xiaxue, or Xiaxue's fans. I'm pretty neutral towards Shelly, Sheena and Xiaxue, but i think xx fans are becoming more than just a fad, picking up their own crusades and to summarise in one word, mob.

Let me define the word "mob".
Mob. A large disorderly crowd, usually mindless (incapable of analytical reasoning), WITH an agenda.

Yes mobs have agendas too. Though there is a difference between mob's agenda and individual agenda. A mob is a collection of people with similar individual agendas, but the mob's agenda does not neccessarily represent the agendas of the individual. A mob's agenda is a dangerous thing because a mob degenerates individuality and morality and thus renders a perception of reduced responsibility to the individual. As such, mob agendas can usually perform a far greater good/destruction than the individual agendas.

Interesting enough, the appearance of xx mob has help create the anti-xx mob. Of which their attacks on each other usually degenerates into, "u've got bad grammer/spelling" etc etc. What this means is that instead of analysing the subject at hand, the mobs degenerate into insults on the personal level in an attempt to discredit the opponent. Not very effective from a third party point of view.

Also interesting is how the argument takes shape. Inevitably, there will be compassionate/sympathetic people who would say, "so and so is only 20+ (young)", "she is not infallible" etc. These arguments do not make good points as being a fallible person, does not make it alright to make mistakes. This may sound very unforgiving, but a mistake is what it is, you do not attribute it as part of growing up and pretend that it did not matter.

I particularly like the words by one of the commentors, calls himself kwokheng, "Well BECAUSE it is her life, no one can order her around. But insofar as she as material being exists on this plane of reality socialized by other material AND thinking beings, she is in a space called Public Space."
