Chinese Idol Gan Wangxing Called “Sissy” By Stranger After China Bans Effeminate Male Celebs

China's ban on "sissy and effeminate" male celebs has attracted its fair share of controversy, and has given rise to a new breed of vigilantes, many of whom are men, who have taken it upon themselves to “weed out all effeminate men”.

Chinese idol-actor Gan Wangxing, 21, was at the airport when he ran into one such vigilante. According to reports, Wangxing was making his way through the terminal when he was called a "niang pao" — a derogatory term that basically means "sissy" — by a random stranger.

Wangxing, who is best known for taking part in reality competition Chuang 2021, where he eventually placed 14th, ignored the insult only to have the vigilante continue calling him "niang pao".
