Fanquan culture is a unique fan culture that has gradually emerged and grown in China's entertainment industry in recent years. It stems from the fans' love for their idols, with fans as the main body, forming a community with star chasing, supporting, ranking lists, consumption, etc. as the main activities. This cultural phenomenon is not only widespread in the entertainment industry, but also gradually penetrates into other fields such as sports and e-sports. Fanquan culture has the following characteristics:
1.Fan worship: Fans in fanquan culture show great admiration and enthusiasm for their favorite celebrities, athletes, or esports players, and they usually see these characters as their idols. This adoration often transcends normal appreciation and affection, forming a unique emotional connection. Fans not only care about the career development of idols, but also care about their life trivialities, and pay great attention to their words and deeds.
2.Community organization: Fans in the fan circle culture often organize themselves to form fan groups and communicate and interact through social channels, forums and other channels. These fan groups sometimes support their idols by supporting and charting their idols. They have a strict organizational structure and a clear division of labor, some are responsible for publicity, some are responsible for fundraising, and some are responsible for planning activities to jointly help the cause of idols.
3.Consumerism: Fans in the fan circle culture often buy idol-related goods, such as **, peripherals, endorsement products, etc., to support the idol's career. This kind of consumption behavior can sometimes evolve into overconsumption, and even lead to an increased financial burden for some fans. However, for fans, this consumption is not only an economic act, but also a way of emotional expression and identity.
Online violence: In the fan circle culture, some fans may attack, slander, or even trigger online violence against other celebrities or fans because of their excessive love for idols.
In general, fanquan culture is a community cultural phenomenon based on fans, with star chasing and consumption as the main activities. It has both entertainment and social value, but also some negative problems. For the fan circle culture, we should maintain a rational attitude, neither overindulge nor be overly critical. As for the negative problems, we need to guide fans to establish correct values, rationally chase stars, and at the same time strengthen the supervision of fan circle culture to create a healthy and harmonious fan culture environment.
