As always with these things, solos are constantly claiming that turtle LED banners and headbands are forbidden and security will remove them. If you watch an event that long and see how many turtle banners and headbands survive through hours and hours of programming it becomes clear these claims are BS.

But these claims and rumors persist, and turtles are heavily targeted with misinformation and hate by solos who are trying to hurt us.

Here's some clear video evidence of how much BS it all is.

Now let's break it all down.

Clips 1 & 2

The first clip was circulating around Weibo and Twitter, with solos claiming it was footage of security removing a turtle banner.

Clip 2 is a close-up of what actually happened. It wasn't security removing the banner at all, it was a solo ripping the banner out of the turtle's hands. And this is just typical of motos, seriously. Making false claims that appear to make turtles look bad, when the facts instead show bad moto behavior.

Clips 3 & 4

Solos seem to love this fiction that turtle banners are forbidden and will be removed by security. In reality, security removes obnoxious banners that are obstructing people's views of the event - regardless of their color. It has nothing to do with turtles specifically.

In the 3rd clip you can see there is a turtle banner and a moto banner. Security ignores the turtle banner - which was held at a modest height - and makes the moto lower her banner, which was held above her head and obstructing the view for those behind her. (And if you look closely, it looks like the moto might have been leaning forward with her banner trying to block the turtle banner and security stopped her.)

In the 4th clip you can clearly see green and red WangXiao headbands and yellow turtle colors on display, but security removes the moto banner that is too large and being held too high.

Just a reminder to all of us to block and ignore antis who are trying to attack and harm us. Realize their words are aimed to hurt you, and they only reflect their own ideas and interpretations - much of which is based in hatred toward us.

Be wary of all claims, but especially those of antis.
