[1] A notable aspect of the 6B4T movement is its members' commitment to never marry men, or have heterosexual sexual relations, nor bear children.
[3][4][5][6] In Korean-language abbreviation,[7] "6B" refers to the same four commandments of the 4B movement as well as not buying products viewed as sexist (Korean: 비소비; Hanja: 非消費; RR: bisobi) and supporting others in the movement (비돕비; 非돕非; bidopbi), while "4T" refers to rejecting strict beauty standards (탈코르셋; 脫corset; talkoreuset), hypersexual depictions of women in Japanese otaku culture (탈오타쿠; 脫otaku; tarotaku), religion (탈종교; 脫宗敎; taljonggyo), and idol culture (탈아이돌; 脫idol; taraidol).
[7][5][6][8][9] The 6B4T movement spread to young female users of the Chinese social network Douban and became popular among well-educated women.
[10][8][9] It was a fringe element in the Chinese feminist movement, but it gained additional unintended attention in 2021 for the fact that it caught the attention of Chinese government censors.
[10][5][11] In April of that year, several Douban groups associated with the movement were shut down and the phrase "6B4T" was banned from the platform.
