Let's be honest, this matter had nothing to do with Wen Jiang or her fans.
Everyone knew that comparing two individuals was bound to displease both parties, and the fans weren't blind. So, it was quite obvious who was behind this: the media outlets that disliked Wen Jiang.
She was indeed Yunxia's darling now, but certainly not the media's. Refusing media interviews was enough to warrant criticism, not to mention her cursing out a reporter last time. A player with a bad relationship with the media, no matter how skilled, would inevitably receive mixed praise and veiled criticism. The media under the Jimo Family wouldn't do that, but other outlets would.
The quickest way to smear someone was obviously by clout-chasing.
Of course, with Wen Jiang's currently strong public support, the impact wasn't significant; at most, it just angered the Great Emperor's fans. When his fans came out to complain, they were soon swiftly shut down by passersby.
