I must admit, I often feel out of place in the 3DM editorial department because I'm not "Sigma" enough. This isn't because I'm a loyal Valorant player, nor because I'm a male addict with an unbroken record spanning over twenty years, nor am I part of that special group who loses rationality and calls out "Mommy" upon seeing the opposite sex—you know, that's my other friend, not me.
I must declare that watching "female bodhisattvas" online has become a fixed part of my daily work routine. This is not because I have extraordinary repressed desires; I am simply looking for new topics. On the surface, I may appear to colleagues as a "shrimp-headed man" (a slang term for creepy guys), but deep down, I am a diligent 3DM editor carefully planning my work. Thus, through my tireless search, an image circulating online caught my attention.
This image originates from a Bilibili cycling content creator named "Berlin Girl o." She allegedly earned money by posting borderline suggestive videos, used the funds to donate and build Hope Primary Schools, ended her cycling journey after achieving fame, gifted her beloved motorcycle to someone else, deleted all her videos, and gracefully left the internet stage.
Readers familiar with the internet know one thing: borderline content is the meta for traffic in this era. After all, everyone appreciates beauty, and gentlemen admire graceful ladies. Under market influence, various industries have mastered the core techniques of appealing to the masses, and the cycling community is no exception. Scantily clad, curvy individuals ride road bikes larger than themselves, staging scenes of speed and passion on the roads, accompanied by captions like "Life is a wilderness," immersing viewers in pure visual stimulation.
Naturally, one would assume "Berlin Girl o" is another cycling content creator on Bilibili. However, when I tried to look up more information, I found very little about her on Bilibili. She had nearly erased all traces of herself during this internet departure, leaving behind only gaming streams. There were hardly any videos showing her face, let alone the borderline content you might be expecting.
Here comes the strange part: when I searched for "Berlin Girl o" on Douyin, I found that she hadn't quit the internet as rumored. She continues to update regularly. Moreover, reviewing her past videos, they have little to nothing to do with borderline content.
Her videos don't contain the kind of content you or I might expect. Instead, they feature jokes with a slight tint of color—specifically, feces-yellow. Yes, you heard that right; these are jokes revolving around scatological themes. As the old saying goes: Internet crap may be late, but it never fails to arrive.
For instance, she vividly describes various "awkward moments" while using the toilet, including wiping over thirty times without getting clean, even causing bleeding, or thinking it's clean only to check again and find more feces.
Furthermore, she combines trending songs to create content similar to "I make egg tarts with poop," such as "Hemorrhoid Sauce, I Like You More."
If you doubt whether such explicit content is too extreme, I can only tell you that not only do people watch these bloggers, but they also have massive followings. In her private messages and comment sections, there are plenty of bold individuals attempting to turn scatological humor into further engagement metrics.
Her persona is also meticulously crafted within her content—a master of the "hemorrhoid zone." If she posts anything unrelated to scatological humor, fans will affectionately inquire about her mental state in the comments.
"Swiping the card" refers to the action of spreading the buttocks apart to scrub while bathing.
At this point, your biggest question might be: Can wiping one's butt really count as borderline content? How does this blogger relate to such themes? I know what you want to see, but indeed, no explicit images could be found on her account. The answer lies in her pinned posts. It turns out Everythinggj was a rumor spread by marketing accounts—a scenario where "rumors start with a mouth, but debunking takes leg-breaking effort," which is all too common on the internet.
Regarding the deeds of "female bodhisattvas," if you look into it, you'll find such examples are not rare among borderline streamers. For instance, cosplayer "Xiao Yuan Rabi," who previously faced controversy over her 998 yuan charging tier, participated in charity donation plans. Additionally, there are welfare girls on Twitter whose subscription fees go toward公益 projects. Once borderline streamers donate their earnings, they are often revered by netizens as "female bodhisattvas."
Perhaps the person known as "Good H Good Female Killer" was the first to gain internet fame for "doing charity beyond borderline content." In the live stream, she is a fatal temptation playing with men; outside the live stream, she is a dedicated rural teacher going to the countryside.
Moreover, such stories often devolve into misinformation as they spread. Once people assign a predetermined stance to the protagonist, they rationalize all her actions, ultimately filling in the gaps with imagination to craft a touching narrative—a "female bodhisattva" selling her body solely to save the masses.
As we consume these unique borderline stories, we unconsciously rationalize the actions of those involved. This sometimes reduces charity to a performative tool for "whitewashing" and gaining traffic, while also allowing certain conspiracy theories to flourish—anyone caught in negative public opinion can shift the focus by making donations.
Perhaps the rumors surrounding Berlin Girl o originated from a user's preconceived notions. After seeing her post stating, "The initial goal has been achieved; I have decided to permanently stop updating," and combining this with her occasional donations to rural areas, someone fabricated a glorious story about her donating to build Hope Primary Schools.
Ultimately, why do such rumors have a market? Or rather, why are people easily attracted to news about borderline streamers doing charity? Perhaps because, from the perspective of social norms, borderline streamers often hold a negative status. When they profit from such negative behavior and use those profits for socially acceptable actions, such as charity or rural teaching, it creates a strong sense of contrast.
When the identities of "soft-core content producer" and "charity actor" overlap, this dramatic framework conflict creates a compelling narrative with sufficient tension—"Lucifer's Redemption." This strong contrast stems from the mismatch between role expectations and behavioral performance, allowing the public to satisfy their moral needs while indulging their voyeuristic curiosity in the spread of such stories.
Imagine a male streamer gaining fame through explicit body exposure, yet secretly being a core member of a rescue team. By day, he flaunts his physique to please live-stream viewers; by night, he bravely saves those who have fallen into water. Such a story would be attractive enough in any country.
On second thought, the public's desire for stories about borderline content creators doing charity turned Berlin Girl o, who merely announced she was stopping updates on Bilibili, into a great philanthropist who donated to Hope Primary Schools. Such rumors make the already chaotic internet even harder to distinguish truth from falsehood...
You see, you see, it's another ending where there is nothing new under the sun.
Therefore, to avoid falling into the trap of "internet psychoanalysis主旨 plus a sublimated ending," I think I will end this article here. After all, you should understand what I am trying to say.
