Baozou (Chinese: 暴走) is a website featuring comics and animations. The Baozou style of comics, originally inspired by rage comics of the US, was popularized in China and later developed into its own style.[1]
Bauzou is an Internet phenomenon, emerging from the specific sociopolitical context of contemporary China, and a staple in Chinese popular online culture, arguably triggering the meme subculture in China.[2]
Still or animated Baozou figures are created and used as emoticons to depict simple and crude visuals used in electronic or web messages. Internet users often use Baozou figures in parody of a range of different emotions. Baozou (which roughly translates to "out of control" or rage in Chinese)[3] also produces Baozou Big News Events, a popular humorous show covering news, literature, history, psychology, politics, chemistry and biology.[4]
