摘要

模因是一种幽默的图像，通常带有叠加文本的字幕，在网上分享。为了避免审查，中国网民战略性地使用模因来讨论政治问题。这项研究内容分析了中国社交媒体用户在微博平台上发布的以朝鲜领导人金正恩形象或肖像为特征的模因。研究结果突显了政治敏锐、精通技术的公众如何以幽默的方式表达政治观点和异议，即使在高度审查的网络环境中也是如此。

Avoiding online censorship through ‘fatty’ memes: How Chinese social media users talk about North Korea

Memes are humorous images, often featuring captions with superimposed text, that are shared online. To avoid censorship, Chinese netizens strategically use memes to discuss political issues. This study content analyses memes that feature an image or likeness of North Korean leader Kim Jong-un posted by Chinese social media users on the Weibo platform. Results highlight how politically astute, tech-savvy publics can express political opinions and dissent in humorous ways, even in a high censorship online environment.
