Will you write a “cool people” list, too?
你们会写一份“酷人物”榜单吗?
No. Who’s on the list or off the list will introduce weird social dynamics, and risks creating a kind of popularity contest. Also, if I published a list like that, it would paint a target on the backs of everyone on the list for harassment or worse.
不会。上榜与否会引发怪异的社会动态,可能演变成人气竞赛。此外,发布这种榜单等于为每个上榜者贴上被骚扰甚至更糟的靶子。
