高雅的、有艺术成就的是艺术，为了赚钱而故意搞出来的低俗东西就是色情。你看看现在的杂志，哪本没有挑逗的照片？媒体怎么能这么大肆地宣传色情，污染大众的精神呢？

Elegant stuff with artistic merit is art. Intentionally lowbrow stuff that is only for the sake of making money is sleaze. Take a look at magazines these days.

Previously we’d been stuck in the era of the spread of images, so the majority of Internet Stars were handsome men and pretty girls with cute faces. Of course there were a few vulgar pranksters that shot vulgar hoax images to attract attention. Now it is very different, internet stars have already become the talk of social media, opinion leaders, and are known as the leading lights of fashion.

对啊。这种恶搞的情节搞笑但不低俗，可以算得上是真正的精品喜剧了！还有，除了台词以外，角色也写得很棒！这些主角的名字都是由一些有名的古装小说人物的名字拼凑起来的，但是性格和形象又颠覆了我们对这些人物的印象，所以一下子就能吸引住观众。
