Sasa, with Nearly 1 Million Followers,
Paints Her Entire Body Black After Miniskirt Criticism

A Chinese female game caster, previously embroiled in controversy for wearing a miniskirt, has drawn renewed attention by appearing on a broadcast with her entire body painted black.

According to foreign media outlets such as the South China Morning Post (SCMP) on April 19, a Chinese esports commentator known by the nickname 'Zhazha' (Sasa) recently attracted attention during a live stream of 'Naraka: Bladepoint,' produced by a Chinese game company. Dressed in a black dress, she appeared on camera with her entire body, including her face, painted black, immediately drawing the viewers' attention.

Sasa, who has nearly one million followers on TikTok, recently served as a commentator for the Chinese NBPL esports competition 'Eternal Abyss.' For each match, she hosted the broadcast wearing a short skirt. Throughout the broadcasts, Sasa repeatedly touched her legs and appeared anxious that her outfit might slip, while her male co-host wore a suit and looked completely at ease. This disparity sparked heated debate among online users.

Some netizens criticized Sasa, claiming that she "deliberately wore a miniskirt to cater to the male gaze," while others blamed the event organizers for allegedly requiring female hosts to wear revealing clothing. There were even rumors that her legs appeared blue and twisted because she had to maintain a tense posture for a prolonged period to prevent exposure.

Eventually, Sasa addressed the controversy herself. She clarified that the organizers had never forced her to wear a short skirt, and that she sat with her legs together simply to look better on camera during the broadcast. She added that when the camera was not on her, she would relax her legs while commentating. Sasa also explained that the change in her leg color was due to the cold indoor temperature caused by air conditioning.

However, as the controversy refused to subside despite her explanation, Sasa took an even bolder step by appearing on camera with her entire body painted black. Her male co-host, seated beside her, struggled to suppress his laughter throughout the broadcast.

Many online users commented that they "couldn’t help but laugh when she appeared in front of the camera." Another user remarked, "I wish people would focus on the match analysis instead of the length of the female commentator’s skirt."
