What kind of figurines are making parents so angry? What kind of industry chaos is hidden behind it? Continue reading to uncover the truth behind the event.

Exhibition figurines involving pornography

Mr. Liu, a citizen, visited the "Shanghai (International) Miniature Art Model Exhibition" with his 10-year-old daughter, only to find vulgar and pornographic figurines openly displayed on the booth. Mr. Liu was very angry and, in order to ensure his daughter's healthy growth, he risked being threatened with "violence" to stand up and say no.

According to the exhibition information, the exhibition will be held from August 17th to August 18th. The organizer is Shanghai Xiwei Model Play Culture Media Co., Ltd., and the venue is the Shanghai World Expo Exhibition and Convention Center, 1099 Guozhan Road.

Legal risk lawyer Qin Yubin said that if the figurines are identified as obscene, exhibitors may be in violation of the law, as there have been similar cases before.

According to the Shanghai Anti Obscene Articles Management Regulations, the sale and dissemination of obscene materials will be subject to administrative penalties; Selling or disseminating obscene materials for a profit of more than 50000 yuan will be subject to administrative detention, revocation of business license, and other penalties.

After the exhibition, if the organizer fails to take measures to rectify, they will also face corresponding legal responsibilities.

According to on-site photos, the figurines involved in pornography are those of female characters, with their upper bodies completely naked, only covering their breasts with their hands, wearing only thongs, and even having sex toys.

In addition, there are other pornographic figurines on site.

Report fruitless

Faced with such a situation, Mr. Liu immediately tried to contact the organizer Xiwei Model Play Company, but no one answered.

Subsequently, Mr. Liu reported the situation to the 12345 Citizen Service Hotline, and the staff stated that they would coordinate with relevant departments to handle it.

Helpless, Mr. Liu had no choice but to seek help from the media, hoping to attract enough attention.

Afterwards, Xiwei Model Play Company also responded that they are currently verifying and handling the matter, and apologized to Mr. Liu as soon as possible.

Vulgar and pornographic reports

At present, the pornographic figurines involved are not isolated cases.

Mr. Liu said that during the exhibition, he had encountered other parents reporting their children as well.

According to previous media reports, pornographic figurines were also found in other booths at this exhibition.

According to a parent who declined to be named, when reporting to the staff, the staff took a tough stance and threatened, 'If we continue like this, we won't sell to you.'.

In addition, some parents were threatened by unknown individuals after reporting, claiming to make their home addresses public.

Illegal handling

In response to the current situation, Mr. Zhang, an industry insider, called for a "zero tolerance" attitude towards pornographic figurines and stated that the figurines industry has become chaotic.

He said, "Handheld toys were originally derivatives based on anime and games, and should not be used as an excuse for pornography

He suggested that the industry should raise the entry threshold, strengthen management, and curb the circulation of vulgar and pornographic figurines.

There have been incidents involving pornography in many major Eastern countries.

For example, in April this year, multiple pornographic figurines were publicly boycotted at the Beijing Trendy Play Festival, causing a huge uproar.

In fact, not only the handicraft industry, but also various industries in the Eastern countries are carrying out rectification actions.

Because in recent years, the social atmosphere in major Eastern countries has been deteriorating, and many people believe that we should start with small things.

Moreover, there have been some widely circulated vulgar photos, videos, and other content online recently, which are all tactics used by unscrupulous merchants to attract attention.

Nowadays, with the development of online information, both minors and adults may come into contact with harmful information. If left unchecked, it will have a great impact on society.

So now, major Eastern countries are also cracking down severely on businesses and individuals who spread harmful information, and raising the entry threshold of corresponding laws and regulations to curb the spread of harmful information.

Response from the organizer

At around 6pm yesterday, Xiwei Model Play Company issued a statement apologizing sincerely for Mr. Liu's discovery of pornographic content at the exhibition

The statement stated that the company has been committed to creating a "first-class model play culture platform" and firmly opposes any form of vulgar and pornographic content.

Xiwei Model Play Company responded that exhibitors at the exhibition are required to sign an "Exhibition Agreement", which clearly prohibits the carrying and placement of any vulgar and pornographic works, and stipulates that violators will be punished and bear corresponding responsibilities.

Regarding the issue of pornographic figurines reported by Mr. Liu, the organizer has ordered the relevant exhibitors to immediately withdraw and stop selling such figurines, and promised to strengthen the review of exhibited products.

We always adhere to the principle of putting customers at the center. In the face of customer needs and social pressure, we will carry out rectification with an honest and trustworthy attitude and the courage to take responsibility

Shortly after the statement was released, the organizer restored Mr. Liu's reporting process and released a full video of the complaint, which was personally signed and confirmed by Mr. Liu.

The video shows that the staff present did not engage in any threatening or intimidating behavior, and fully accepted Mr. Liu and his family's feedback and promised to investigate and handle the situation.

conclusion

This incident has sparked deep reflection among everyone about the industry. Can we ignore social norms just to attract attention? We need to say no to these vulgar phenomena and protect the growth environment of minors. I hope more people can pay attention to this issue, share your opinions, like or comment, and let's work together to create a healthier cultural environment!
