However, the forum has also become a community for straight males to discuss issues beyond sports, such as relationships, gossip, and lifestyle-themed topics.

Since 2016, Hupu has hosted an annual goddess competition where users vote for the most popular and prettiest female celebrity, who is crowned the ‘goddess.’ The past six champions include Disney’s Mulan Liu Yifei and retired Hong Kong actress Chingmy Yau. The app also offers community subgroups that zoom in on sports, film, TV, cars, and many other areas of interest. Arguably the most popular group, ‘ Pedestrian Street ,’ is where users discuss all kinds of life topics. In short, Hupu has created not only a sports forum but also a lifestyle community for its JRs. According to Sohu , most Hupu users are urbanites with similar needs and interests, such as sports, electronic devices, games, and sneakers. A shared sense of enjoyment contributes to the platform’s community culture. According to Qianfan Analysys , 94% of Hupu users identify as male, and 67% are under the age of 29. Additionally, Hupu had the most active users among all Chinese sports apps as of November 2020.
