Bilibili has just released data around its popular bullet comments in 2021 and the winner is “po fang le”, which, translated literally means “this broke my defenses”. In terms of usage, this term has mainly been used to describe something that was unexpectedly touching or emotional.
For example, things like being moved to tears by a movie quote, feeling emotionally vulnerable after watching a sad video, feeling inspired by a popular athlete – these can all be described as “po fang le”.
If you’re wondering why this is important, we have one word for you: localization.
