This author is well known for shipping another Chinese fandom pairing and writing explicit fan fiction about that couple pairing. The author failed to disclose that this fandom that they support dislikes the JunZhe fandom. Failure to mention this potential bias undercuts what little argument they can be said to have made. In addition, and extremely telling, the author of this piece, less than two weeks after this piece was published, wrote an email to the only news outlet at the time printing positive news on Zhang Zhehan directing this news outlet to retract the positive article and, in that same email, directly contradicted their vox.com opinion piece on key fundamentals of their argument and continued to spread the false accusations against Zhang Zhehan.< | This author is well known for shipping another Chinese fandom pairing and writing explicit fan fiction about that couple pairing.
