In a distressing incident that involves a Chinese Vitality chaser, Pan Xiaoting, the 24- 24-year-old lady died while attempting a dangerous eating stunt on a live stream. The event happened on 14 July; the information was obtained from the Hankyung local portal.
Pan Xiaoting had been involved in competitions that required her to eat for over 10 hours continuously. The report revealed that she was able to gobble as much as 10 kilograms of food at a time, though her parents and well-wishers tried to warn her many times.
It was stated in the autopsy that Xiaoting had a “deformed stomach,” and in this stomach, there were findings of “undigested food,” which had a stand in her early death.
This sad occurrence has elicited health-related issues and raised questions about the necessity of such intense calls on social networking sites. A sole comment left a person who said it rather confused he/she said, “It will remain a mystery to me as to why anyone would like to sit and watch other people eat. ”
One person said,
“I am observing one person, but she doesn’t eat at all. ”
Today, with the help of social networks and, in particular, the multiplication of opinion leaders, we witness a dangerous tendency. This tendency refers to the fact that some people are ready to die to achieve fame that will help them become popular and get as many likes as possible.
This case should act as a warning for everyone to avoid such practices and remember that the well-being of the person is much more important than trying to become an online star.
Given this unfortunate incident, which affected the industry and the public, the ethical and social repercussions of such extreme trials on social media should require discussion. Platforms should focus on content providers’ well-being and even set stricter rules to exclude such acts from being performed on vulnerable people.
