Global Taiwan Institute · Taiwan’s “Little Pink” Resentment: Expulsions, Douyin, and the Edge of Democratic Tolerance | Global Taiwan InstituteIndividuals who behave insincerely—like influencers who tailor their views to chase clicks, or politicians who stage good deeds for public approval—do not just waste people’s time, attention, and emotional energy. They also exploit trust and goodwill for their own gain. This kind of inauthenticity was often dismissed as a personal quirk, not a serious threat. But in Taiwan today, there are now instances where such behaviors that once appeared tolerable—perhaps amusing, odd, or irrelevant—have triggered explicit governmental intervention and social condemnation.
