【台媒民视道歉：“日本男童遇害案是中国籍凶手”系误引谣言】 4月17日，台湾民视出来道歉了，解释说两天前引用了日本社群的不实消息，播报了谣言。期间，台媒假新闻反向输入日本，相关日语帖子动辄数百万浏览，刻板印象被放大，对在日中国人的处境带来负面影响。 回溯整个事件，有博主整理，“中国人是凶手”的谣言，其传播路径大致如下： (1) 最早源头来自《周刊文春》的一篇报道，只提到“继父和母亲原计划去台湾度蜜月，但因事件未成行”。 (2) 随后，一部分日本X用户开始自行脑补，称继父是“台湾人”，甚至扯出“为了继承财产作案”的说法。 (3) 再往下，有人进一步延伸出一种偏见逻辑——“中国人喜欢假装台湾人”，于是舆论开始转向“继父其实是中国人”，并迅速扩散。 (4) 台湾民视在未核实的情况下跟进报道，直接使用“中国籍继父”的说法，而当时日本所有主流媒体都没有相关信息。 (5) 日本部分X用户反过来引用台湾媒体的报道，当成“证据”，认为“连台湾正规媒体都说了”，从而进一步放大谣言。 最终形成一个典型的“谣言闭环”：海外媒体只言片语后，台湾反向输入日本 ，被当作权威信息引用 ，再次扩散。 结果，日本人相关帖子动辄数百万浏览，“中国人是凶手”的刻板印象被放大，对在日中国人的现实处境也可能带来负面影响。

Viral Japanese posts today are citing a Taiwanese TV news video claiming that an 11-year-old Kyoto boy was murdered by his "Chinese stepfather." Japanese language media outlets have been reporting that the suspect is the boy's father, and have reported a Japanese name, Adachi. There has been no confirmation from a Japanese media outlet that the man was from China or had Chinese citizenship. Even the tabloid media, which might jump at a chance to attract attention with a story about foreign crime, is not claiming the suspect is a foreigner. The case has received a lot of attention because about 1,000 police officers were mobilized to search nearby mountains back when the young boy was reported "missing." It was a major national news story. It's not clear how this Taiwanese media outlet came to the conclusion that the suspect is a Chinese citizen. If their report turns out to be completely false, there will probably still be many Japanese internet users who will insist that the mainstream media lied about the man being a Japanese person.
