Does Tencent’s “5P” gate exist?

Yesterday was a "yellow" auspicious day, and Tencent was exposed to the "5P Gate".

What is "5P"? To be honest, this term has exceeded the boundaries of human imagination. Wikipedia can only give an explanation of "3p": it is called threesome in English, which reflects the bourgeoisie's decadent, backward and extravagant view of sex. The general forms are: MMF (two men and one woman), MFF (two women and one man). However, in recent years, domestic academic circles have advocated calling the latter "double flight."

By analogy, "5P" is fivesome. There are six possible combinations (MFFFF\MMFFF\MMMFF\MMMMF\MMMMM\FFFFF).

Close your eyes and think about it. All that comes to mind is the picture of King Zhou’s wine pond and meat forest, right? However, the content presented by the online revelations is lackluster - surveillance screenshots with indistinguishable male and female characters, unclear text, and unclear role assignments.

The origin of the matter is as follows:

A large account with 1.76 million fans on Sina Weibo - "Something About the Internet" took the lead in posting yesterday (2014.7.28) at two o'clock in the afternoon At 1:09, he broke the news in the form of a screenshot of a private message: "Yesterday, I heard from Tencent that five men and women from the planning team of the game division were in the company office after get off work after 11 o'clock, and then the camera recorded it, and the collective was Fire it."

Netizens who were scolding Jumei Youpin quickly moved to the battlefield, and Weibo and WeChat Moments were flooded with the news.

Two hours later - around 16:00, Sina Weibo's big marketing account "Website Analysis Union" took over and spread the word, and provided surveillance screenshots. With the help of big Vs such as Blue Whale, this matter further fermentation. (Note: After Tencent officially refuted the rumor, the Weibo is still pinned.)

Through technical analysis, it can be seen that media accounts and opinion leaders in the two-dimensional world have become the main force of communication.

By spreading the keyword analysis, this has completely turned into a collective carnival among netizens: the vast majority of people are asking for help, some are teasing that this is the best recruitment advertisement in Tencent’s history, and some are questioning the authenticity. Suspicion:

One hour after the screenshots of the surveillance video were sent out, netizens’ comparison pictures were completed, and it was confirmed that the location of the incident was indeed located in Guangzhou T.I.T Creative Park. Through searching, I learned that in 2013, the official Weibo of Guangzhou T.I.T Creative Park posted a message: "Warmly welcome the Tencent WeChat team to settle in T.I.T Creative Park."

According to the whistleblower, the first question Here it comes: Why did the people from the game division go from the Shenzhen office to the Guangzhou WeChat site to make such a big fuss? When it comes to departmental friendship, it should be more credible! Here comes the second question: From the screenshots of the video, it can be seen that the incident happened outdoors, not in the "office" mentioned by the whistleblower. What is going on? Here comes the third question: We are talking about the unbridled "5P", why does the picture show a restrained "one-on-one"? Could it be that the only ones left are one person who holds the lamp, one person who listens to the radio, and one person who plays the radio? Brother, don't tease me!

To put it bluntly, the storm is far from over.

At 18:26, a Weibo account called "Thumb Bus" claimed to have humanized the heroine and provided a picture:

So far, netizens' enthusiasm has been ignited again, and the new A round of screen swiping swept Weibo and WeChat Moments.

It was not until 19:40 (five hours after the incident) that Tencent issued a belated announcement to refute the rumors on Sina’s official Weibo (previously the Weibo ID “Tencent User Service” discussed the incident in Weibo comments (explained here): "What do you think "5P" is about? In short: Now it's official. We checked the video tape and it was other people, no participant (no participant) from Tencent Company (From Tencent), now I’m preparing to go home, you all should be good and stop making trouble!”

The style of this rumor refuting announcement is lively and infinitely cute. It probably means: Someone is having sex, yes. It’s not that 5P doesn’t know, but it’s certain that people from Tencent were not involved.

Zhang Jun, whose Weibo certification information is "Public Relations Director of Tencent", forwarded the announcement and said: "Passers-by, although the environment of the park is very good, no matter how high your mood is after drinking, don't leave. We solved it nearby, and someone even made a 2+3 for no reason.

It’s okay for us to take the blame, your reputation is more important! ”

This statement once again distanced Tencent employees from the matter, but confirmed that a sexual encounter took place in the open area outside WeChat headquarters. It is understood that there are many restaurants near the creative park. It is possible to have a drink on the spot without going home. Moreover, it is a public area. If it does not care about morals and is unsightly, it is not surprising that liberating behavior appears. .

The most disgusting part of the incident was the inexplicable insertion of photos of the heroine with human flesh. The paradox is: this result cannot be obtained through public revelations (which are extremely vague and even more coded than coded).

Through technical analysis, I concluded that the photo of the heroine actually comes from a short micro-movie produced by the team of Tencent’s game “Xuan Dou Tian Xia” (The Great Master of Xuan Dou Tian Xia).

As far as I know, this person is suspected to be a Tencent employee and a well-known cosplayer in the industry. He is the best cosplayer in the world. Due to personal privacy, I won’t go into too much detail here.

At this point, the context of Tencent’s “5P Gate” is generally clear. From the revelations in private messages on Weibo to the emergence of surveillance video screenshots to the heroine’s human flesh, the entire process cannot withstand scrutiny and is full of processing and conjecture. , grafting, framing and other elements, some big Weibo accounts and even some organizations (such as Toast) have participated in "disgusting processing" to make it more popular and more forwarded.

Just debunking this rumor is just the first stage of independent thinking, and we must also delve into the "production of rumors."

Taylor Clark once wrote "Nine Laws of Successful Rumors". He said that spreading rumors depends on gullible people. A Biao believes that in the era of social media, the flow of information is accelerating, and people who become low-minded people will not become smarter or more knowledgeable because of the massive amount of information. Instead, they will be more likely to be kidnapped by opinion leaders and marketing accounts, making them the stupidest people. What makes me most sad is that cutting-edge media like Blue Whale participate in dissemination without seeking verification. The truth and news literacy lag behind the click rate and the number of forwards.

Taylor Clark also said: "Okay" the rumors are concise and specific. Looking at this incident alone, it originated from less than 140 words of content, but it covers "rich" - WeChat, "sex" - sex, "odd" - group promiscuity, and "peeping" - the possibility of the video being leaked. Look at the short page, but there are four major elements that hit the weak points of human nature, and there are only three of the seven deadly sins. What a clever rumor!

Taylor Clark also said: "Good" rumors are difficult to prove. Why do people still believe that large prehistoric reptiles haunt Loch Ness? Some people want to say, this lake is so big, who can guarantee that the water monster is not in it? It is very difficult to completely overturn this idea. Some rumors cannot be spread. For example, the third cousin is a woman. I can prove it as soon as I take off my pants. This rumor should be spread like this: "The third cousin was once a woman, but later the master welded it, but the master died and all the medical materials were destroyed."

The "5P Gate" is precisely difficult to prove. , because you can’t bring up all Tencent’s surveillance records for netizens to see, and you can’t post all the photos of Guangyan people online for everyone to compare.

The last law of Taylor Clark is: Sometimes rumors spread for no reason. But looking at this matter, looking at the current environment, social media allows everyone to have a sense of existence. They will not seek verification or argue falsehoods, but only care about expressing their stance. If they don’t express their stance, they will feel pricked in their hearts. I feel like today Live in vain!

As of the publication of A Biao's article, Weibo searches have hidden a large amount of "5P gate" content, but some bloggers still have not processed the information on their personal pages, and the photos of the "heroine" who was accidentally injured are still there. spread. Tencent's rumor refuting announcement has only been reposted more than 2,000 times, but the cumulative number of reposts of the rumors has exceeded 10,000. This is the helplessness of reality.

Although it is difficult to falsify, I still want to give some advice to the Tencent Public Relations Department: your response is too slow, weak, and overflowing with cuteness. The rumor crusher must be reasonable and convincing. .

It is true that there will be new hot topics tomorrow to cover up this matter, but how can we turn a blind eye to the harm caused to employees, even if they are extremely ordinary.
