Chinese Olympic women's diving gold medal winners’ pose sparks social media jokes about relationship
Making their Games debuts, Chen Yiwen and Chang Yani won China’s first diving gold medal in Paris.
Huh, one is holding the other in their arms. With the hubbub, I thought they'd be 69ing or something. People really have to make a big deal out of everything...
18I clicked on this lemmy post mainly to come here and find a common sense comment. You did not disappoint. Have my upvote
3It's a gossip/social media story from the South China Morning Post. Don't know who is worse, the people who make up nonsense like this on social media, or those who reshare this to keep the gossip going.

Ok but they're so cute it's amazing
18They could have easily reported on this victory without that stupid social media thing. They didn't quote any of these "jokes", thank goodness, but I have to assume they're from just randos online. So why is that news? How is that a story?
0Hey how about you take your homophobia somewhere else?
Chen picked up Chang in a bridal carry for a photo after they receiving their gold medals, which led many netizens to joke that Chang and Chen are in a romantic relationship, posting online fan-made edits of their interactions in slow-motion paired with romantic captions
“If love has miracles, I would be the happiest creating them with you,” wrote one Xiaohongshu user who posted a series of moments between the pair moments during the competition.
“The most romantic thing is to have your names engraved together in sporting history,” commented another user.
11Ah, my apologies. I didn't realize there was more to the article. I thought that click to read more was to a different article, not the other half of this one. So I didn't see any of those comments. I just assumed being random online comments, they were going to be disgusting and crass. That's the context of my comment. Pretty wild leap you took there.
Course I still don't think online comments are really news worthy. However now I'm much more annoyed at the idea that you'd have to click read more an article I've already clicked on. Why would they do that? What's the purpose of that? You already have my attention, I already clicked once, why do they need me to collect again?
