Villainous Acts edit

Their most famous villainous acts is publishing attribution, one-way and false information and getting scandals because of it,specifically, the following example cases:

  • The program "Lời cảnh báo(The warnings)" period 385 aired on THVL1 in August 2017 tells about a series of downsides to the anime, the ecchi side to be exploited quite strongly. But when giving the example of an anime with ecchi, they used an hentai and equated it as an anime. It is the above-mentioned act that has created the "rage" of young people. Just a few hours after the video was posted, a series of anime fans and Facebook users launched a total invasion on their Facebook and the purpose was to force them to apologize to a series of anime fans in Vietnam. Also due to too much spam in the comments section, they had to turn off the rating feature due to receiving too many 1-star reviews. They later deleted the aforementioned video.However, its influence has caused the news channel's reputation to decrease
  • The program "Câu chuyện cuộc sống(Life Story)" with the theme "Video games with murder stealing mission - Is this entertainment or promoting crime acts?" aired on THVL1 on August 2, 2018 that the survival games, including PlayerUnknown's Battleground (also known as PUBG for short) and Minecraft are "prone to violence". After the video was posted, it received a lot of criticism from the gaming community in general and the Internet community in particular. Specifically, the aforementioned controversial video has been mercilessly criticized and dislike. They then deleted the video (rather than the YouTube deleting as many forums reported)
  • However, not only that, in May 2019, they also posted another video titled "Addiction to online games is harder to treat than drug addiction" and it is not surprising that the aforementioned video also gets constant dislike "bomb" from gamers community until they have to delete it
  • In the program "Life Story" with the title "The rise of low effort clip: What is the future for good Youtuber?", whether this is just accidental or intentional that they has included a photo of "the king of YouTube" PewDiePie comes in as an example when talking about the reality of low effort video on YouTube. Although all the videos (except for the "Announcement" video on the Home tab) and the channel icon were blurred out, the Internet community recognized PewDiePie at first glance. After the video was posted, it received a lot of criticism from the Internet community in general and PewDiePie fans in particular.This negligence has made the Internet community Vietnam and other countries feel extremely disappointed.

It is the above acts that have caused THVL to be attached to the names that are acrimonious, offensive , one of which is "Vĩnh Dragon".
