Reactions to the cyber-incident were varied, with some praising Fasnaghari and others mocking, insulting and sharply criticizing him.
Bozorgmehr Hosseinpour, a cartoonist and satirist, believes that the characteristic of Fasnaghari is satisfaction and being happy in the moment. He is a happy man who is satisfied with his work and puts all his energy into his work and gives it to his heart. He likes to be different and creative, to make new careers and make new moves, and to do his best to make others happy.
In an interview with Etemad newspaper, he referred to him as a "happiness capsule" and described his unique feature as being different from other DJs, unlike whom he does not wear a shiny suit and does not lubricate his hair, but wears a simple T-shirt. He tries to warm the parliament with his "strange moves."[10] It has stimulated the population of social networks to satisfy the sense of humor and national self-destruction. The phenomenon of Fasnagri is the same as the dark face of the horrible beast of our collective mind.[11] [12]
