Onmyoji Player Doxxes Honor of Kings Rival and Uses Their Photo as Avatar — Community Alleges NetEase Has a History of This

One screenshot, one revelation, and the entire Chinese mobile gaming community's moral floor shattered. A brewing war between Onmyoji (YYS) and Honor of Kings (王者荣耀, nicknamed "Nongyao" / 农药 by fans) players just crossed the nuclear line — someone allegedly doxxed a rival player, exposing their real-life personal information online.

The beef between the two fandoms was nothing new — accusations of plagiarism ("jian chao" / 煎炒), passive-aggressive official Weibo posts (what Chinese netizens call "cha yan cha yu" / 茶言茶语), and threats of legal letters had been simmering for a while. But this time, a Onmyoji-affiliated player or account took things to the real world by doxxing a Honor of Kings player, leaking their personal info for all to see.

The most chilling detail came from a follow-up post by user 一苇临江 (Floor 7): after the doxxing, the perpetrator allegedly changed their avatar to a photo of the victim. This kind of brazen intimidation turned what was already a toxic community feud into full-blown cyberbullying. "So this is what your 'gentle and kind' Onmyoji players look like?" the user wrote. "Truly rats lurking in the gutters."

But what really blew the lid off this drama was a bombshell revelation from user 顾顾飞行日记: "Actually, Onmyoji's hired shills have doxxed their own players before." In other words, this wasn't even the first time the Onmyoji ecosystem weaponized doxxing — previously they targeted their own community members. This time, they just exported the playbook outward against rival fandoms.

The revelation triggered a wave of alarm. One user lamented: "That's it, now it's a real digital criminal record. They took the doxxing toolkit they used on their own players and aimed it at outsiders." Another raised the stakes even higher: "If these are official shills hired by NetEase, it's even scarier — they're an organized group backed by a major corporation. An ordinary person doesn't stand a chance against them."

Another unsettling detail emerged from Floor 3: someone noticed the doxxing account quickly swapped its avatar to a female profile picture after the story gained traction, sparking speculation that this might be the victim themselves trying to respond — suggesting the doxxing had already impacted the target's actual online behavior.

Meanwhile, Floor 13 noted that some Onmyoji fans were dredging up old screenshots of past arguments with Honor of Kings players to justify the doxxing — a "you insulted me first so you deserve to get doxxed" mentality that only poured more fuel on the fire. Floor 17 delivered the verdict: "That's just how fan circle (饭圈) games work — the cult purity is off the charts." Floor 18 was even more brutal: "These doxxing scum are beyond disgusting. Still underestimated how low the sewer can go."

As of now, the discussion continues to rage. But whether the doxxer was an official astroturfer or a "wild" extremist fan, this incident exposes an ugly truth: when game community rivalries get hijacked by fan circle logic, there's no floor to how low things can go — and on that food chain, ordinary players are always the ones getting crushed.
