DeepSeek's forgotten male persona: why the 'big fat fish' meme won the Bilibili war
teortaxesTex · x · 2026-09-30
A discussion about DeepSeek's community personas. A blogger fact-checked the claim that DeepSeek had a popular male persona: on Bilibili it's spread by essentially one UP主 (Ziwwwwwuuu), while the 'big fat fish' persona has hundreds of creators, even appearing in a Qwen ad — so it's less an information bubble than a niche circle unaware of the mainstream. teortaxesTex recalls the male persona actually landed first, when the model was used mostly by a different roleplaying demographic.
