Councilor Lan ridiculed Yangliu as "cockroaches and rats". Tsai Ing-wen's "Think Forum" published an article: Please retain respect for people.

Veteran musician Luo Dayou recently accused the government of lowering the cultural threshold and said, "People from other provinces are being bullied badly enough now." He also named former President Tsai Ing-wen, Vice President Xiao Meiqin, former Supervisory Supervisory Committee Chen Ju and others as unmarried and without children, creating oppositional remarks and triggering criticism. Tsai Ing-wen also emphasized twice on Facebook that she does not have children of her own, but will do her best to protect every child in Taiwan. The "Think Forum" founded by Tsai Ing-wen published an article "When Public Language Becomes a Vocabulary that Humiliates the People" yesterday, urging that even if the political stance is different, at least one thing should be retained, and that is respect for people.

This article, written by documentary director Yang Lizhou, states clearly at the outset that when someone begins to believe that the group they belong to is more noble and upper-class, while another group is lower-class and unworthy of equal treatment, political ambiguity gradually turns into disgust and hatred towards people.

When a Kuomintang city councilor used the words "cockroaches" and "rats" to describe citizens who supported Taipei mayoral candidate Shen Boyang of the Democratic Progressive Party, Shen Boyang, and even said that they were here to hunt down mayor Jiang Wanan who was seeking re-election, Yang Lizhou worried that these remarks had gone beyond ordinary political offense and defense and made people uneasy. What is even more disturbing is that when the city councilors questioned Mayor Jiang Wanan in the council and asked him what he thought about members of the same party using such hateful language, Jiang Wanan responded that he was "not at the scene, so I cannot comment."

Yang Lizhou said that the warning left to us by history is very clear. When politicians start to use pest words to call people of different positions, we should be alert. There may be a group mentality here, consolidating one's own group identity by belittling the other party.

In addition, Yang said that another phenomenon that is also worthy of discussion is the KMT legislator’s description of arts and cultural workers as beggars. This sentence was later quoted frequently on social platforms, and even gradually became a term used to ridicule Taiwanese cultural and artistic workers. This is actually another kind of de-subjectification and class stigma that deserves vigilance.

He said that the term "beggars" simplifies creators who originally have expertise, thoughts, emotions and autonomy into a group that relies on power and waits for charity. This is a professional stigma and a denial of the value of cultural labor. What is obvious is that this group of politicians still allows these hateful words to continue to be reproduced on social platforms. Perhaps they hope to make humiliating art and literary workers a daily entertainment.

Yang Lizhou criticized that one group of people had their dignity as citizens devalued, while another group of people had their professional labor value devalued. This is not just an issue of humiliating the people by this group of KMT congressmen and legislators, but an issue of public language that we should think about together. In particular, elected public officials with public power should understand the influence of their own words. If they still think that people who disagree with them are "cockroaches", "rats", "animals" and "beggars", they will deviate further and further away from the people without realizing it.
