Girlish male stars stir debate

男星娘炮的风引发了热议

A heated debate on China's new feminine-looking male celebrities has flooded Chinese social media platform Sina Weibo, as the country's State broadcaster aired four young male singers in its television special \\"First Class of the New Semester\\" on Sept 1.

由4名年轻男歌手参加的电视特别节目《开学第一课》于9月1日在中国国家电视台播出，新男明星的热烈讨论席卷了国内社交媒体平台新浪微博。

Designed for China's elementary school students, the TV special jointly produced by China Central Television and the Ministry of Education is compulsory for most of the country's elementary students. Angry parents harshly criticized the youthful celebrities, deriding them with terms like \\"pretty girls that cannot have babies\\", and called on authorities to ban the effeminate stars before the next generation adopts their example.

Mr Feng, father of a 5-year-old boy, said that he is worried that his son will behave in a feminine way in school under the influence of these stars. On the other hand, some voices are urging society to respect people's rights to be as feminine or masculine as they choose. \\"It is important to stay true to your heart,\\" said a mother of a 4-year-old boy, adding, \\"I will give my son all my support as long as he chooses a path he likes.\\"

冯先生是一个5岁男孩的父亲，他说担心儿子在这类明星的影响下，在学校的言行会很娘娘腔。另一方面，有些人则敦促社会应尊重人们选择阴柔或阳刚的权利。另一方面，一些人敦促社会尊重人们选择温柔或阳刚的权利。一位4岁男孩的母亲说，忠于自己的心很重要，只要儿子选择自己喜欢的方式，她就会给予全力支持。
