Red bull (slang)

Last updated

Red bull (feminine: red cow) [lower-alpha 1] is a pejorative label from Vietnamese social media used to describe Vietnamese public opinion commentator. [1] [2] Red bulls not only support Vietnamese government unreasonably but also monitor active Internet users and harass or scare dissidents. [1] [3]

Other political extremist groups aside from the red bull include the "yellow bull" or "yellow cow", which describe the extreme opposition group of red bull, who anti-communists or held a revisionist view of the defunct South Vietnam. [1] [4] The slang was inspired by the South Vietnam flag and its yellow background.[ citation needed ]

Sometimes, people who do not criticize the Vietnamese government or praise state-made films such as Đào, phở và piano  [ vi ] are labeled unfairly as red bulls. [4] [5] According to PhD Nguyễn Phương Mai, this is a indication of political polarization. [5]
