Fortune-telling, Fitness, and LGBTQ Literature Fan Pages Simultaneously Demand Taipei Mayor Chiang Wan-an's Resignation; Hou Hanting Exposes 'Dark Industry Chain Splitting Taiwan Society'

Several Facebook fan pages that typically operate on entirely different themes—such as fortune-telling, fitness, women’s topics, and LGBTQ literature—have recently published politically charged posts with identical titles and graphics, jointly demanding that Taipei Mayor Chiang Wan-an “resign immediately.” Hou Hanting, a New Party Taipei City councilor, questioned this sudden coordinated political messaging from pages that normally publish little to no political content, raising concerns about centralized content supply, image distribution, and orchestrated public opinion manipulation.

Hou pointed out on his Facebook that pages like 'Buddhist Fortune,' 'Good Luck Wangwang Lai,' 'Global Fitness Center,' 'Ladytalk Women's Whisper,' and 'LGBT Literature Network' have vastly different audiences and no apparent connections, yet all simultaneously released identical political graphics and messages. He described the phenomenon as “extremely absurd, yet chilling.”

Hou analyzed that some content farms or so-called 'zombie fan pages' may first accumulate followers using non-controversial soft topics like horoscopes, pets, gossip, or health advice. Once they’ve built a certain audience base, they switch to promoting commercial or political content at specific times, thereby reaching demographics that typically avoid politics.

He likened these pages to being in a dormant state until activated by commercial or political directives, transforming into tools for political messaging. By pushing the same content to women, fitness enthusiasts, fortune-telling followers, and LGBTQ communities, such operations can break through existing political echo chambers.

Hou noted that the sudden convergence of these diverse pages—spanning fortune-telling, women’s issues, fitness, and LGBTQ literature—on targeting Chiang Wan-an suggests possible AI-generated images and automated posting. This raises suspicions of a centralized operation involving “unified instructions, unified content supply, unified image distribution, and unified material feeding.”

Referencing past remarks by pan-green figures about cognitive warfare, Hou stated, “Being vigilant is good.” He argued that if society suspects a single individual using a laptop of engaging in cognitive warfare, then a coordinated network of content-farm-style fan pages pushing political messages should equally be scrutinized for possible organized manipulation.

“Fortune-telling, women’s issues, fitness, LGBTQ literature—like the Eight Immortals crossing the sea—suddenly all converge at Chiang Wan-an’s doorstep,” Hou criticized, warning against a dark industry chain that uses “fake fan pages, real cyber troops” to split Taiwanese society through expensive, systematic public opinion control.
