In the midst of the Baby Three craze, the image that is said to be the "cow's tongue line" appeared on the "Town Rabbit ver.2" version of this toy caused a stir on the internet. Streamer ViruSs has also made a related move.
Baby Three version "Town Rabbit ver.2" has just been officially launched on the market, however, according to the reflection of some users, there is a suspicious detail on the cheeks of the new version of the "baby three" character. Specifically, this product contains a motif that is said to have a resemblance to the image of the "ox-tongue line" - an illegal map that China uses to make irrational claims in the South China Sea.
In the face of information that caused public confusion, ViRusS - streamer, a famous figure in the business and content creation world, made a strong move on his personal page on the evening of March 5. Accordingly, he posted a notice to all "sellers" who have cooperated with him, as well as partners importing Baby Three products "Rabbit Town ver.2" for the Thai market.
ViRusS affirmed that it will stop importing and distributing this product due to the detection of sensitive images appearing in the graphic expression of puffy eyes and tears of the character "little three". The decision was made even though the product brings a stable income, because according to him, the national interest must always come first.
"Notice to all sellers who have worked with us, including those who imported Baby Three for the Thai market from us. We would like to officially announce the suspension of the import and sale of Baby Three, due to the discovery that Baby Three Town Rabbit V2 has a sensitive image in the graffiti showing puffiness and tears.
Although the income is good for us, the country must be the top priority. We would like to thank our partners and sellers for understanding and supporting this decision," the male streamer's post reads.
Also in the article on her personal page, ViruSs shared the official announcement of DaPiaoLiang company, the manufacturer and distributor of Baby Three, about the incident. Specifically, the producer said that the Baby Three Rabbit Town V2 face model is a random art drawing, based on abstract and fantasy styles.
In particular, this design does not reflect "any specific image, symbol, or geographic line in reality". Discussions linking graffiti lines to specific real-life elements deviate seriously from the original purpose of the design.
Also in the correction notice, the manufacturer of the popular toy affirmed that Vietnam and China are close neighbors. "We value this friendship, call on everyone to view artistic creation in a reasonable way, avoid misunderstandings that affect mutual trust," the statement stated.
VirusS's move quickly received consensus from a large number of online communities. Many people praised the male streamer's assertiveness and sense of responsibility for this sensitive issue.
In addition, many opinions also believe that stricter control measures are needed for imported products. Especially items originating from abroad, in order to avoid sensitive images affecting the perception of the public, especially young people.
Before the controversy surrounding Baby Three's puffy eyes appeared on social networks, ViruSs once shared a picture of meeting Truong Dinh - the "father" of the feverish toy - on his personal page. He also announced that he would bring the above product to Vietnam at the end of February.
Baby Three, also known as "baby three", is a toy from China, applying the blind box model, creating a "fever" on Vietnamese social networks. These furry characters are more than 10cm tall, except for some special-sized versions. A set consists of 6-8 single "blind boxes", often opened by collectors together, increasing the sense of suspense and excitement. Baby Three also has multiple generations and themes, diversifying the choice for buyers.
