“Conflict” with Fans: Male Streamer Passes Away…
On the afternoon of June 16, netizens in China were shocked by the news that the popular male streamer and content creator – Meng Haoming, passed away at the age of over 30. According to a personal post by the streamer, Haoming expressed pain and frustration during a live stream on June 13, shortly after a heated argument with a follower during a live broadcast. When he was taken to the hospital, doctors confirmed that he had suffered a serious brain hemorrhage. Despite being in stable condition throughout that day, he sadly could not survive.
Previously, Haoming was known to be in good health, with no signs of neurological issues. His sudden passing has left his family and thousands of fans devastated, mourning his loss. It is known that the content of his live streams was often light-hearted and humorous, revolving around everyday stories and familiar social issues, which endeared him to many viewers.
Causes of the Emotional Distress Leading to the Controversy
According to reports, prior to the incident, Haoming had been experiencing severe stress during his live broadcasts. His family suspects that the heated arguments he faced online may have contributed to the spike in his blood pressure, leading to the brain hemorrhage. Currently, his family is gathering evidence and consulting legal advice to clarify the circumstances surrounding his passing.
The tragic end of Haoming’s life serves as a stark reminder of the impact of online harassment on mental health. As social media continues to become increasingly “toxic,” every negative comment can potentially cause serious psychological harm. Streamers like Haoming today not only face the pressure of being in front of the camera but also endure immense psychological strain from the constant scrutiny of their online presence. It is evident that online harassment is becoming a “double-edged sword,” compelling individuals to seriously reconsider their ways of interacting with the digital world.
