The story
Ligue 1 club Marseille is in the spotlight after a female supporter posted on social media that someone splashed what looked like bodily fluid on her during the September 6 match against Paris FC at the club’s home ground, the Stade Vélodrome. Marseille issued an official statement saying, “We have been informed of an extremely serious incident and want to offer our full support to the supporters involved.” On 5ch, a wave of joking replies poured in questioning the truth of the line “it was definitely semen” from the original post, with some also pointing out that the woman’s father, who was sitting nearby, appeared to have been hit as well.

An unprecedented incident appears to have occurred at the stadium of Olympique de Marseille (Ligue 1).
During the Ligue 1 match against Paris FC held on the 6th of this month at the home ground, Stade Vélodrome, a female Marseille supporter posted on social media that a man had splashed what looked like bodily fluid on her. Marseille — the storied French club that once had former Japan national team defender Hiroki Sakai on its roster — said in a press release: “We have been informed of an extremely serious incident and want to offer our full support to the supporters involved.” The report comes via RMC Sport.

What people said
Thank you very much indeed. (riffing on a famous old 2ch/5ch meme phrase)
Foreigners would never do that (said, ironically, about an incident in France)
Like hell you could — I'm going home
Squirt squirt, right on target! (referencing a notorious Japanese public-indecency offender who's become a recurring 5ch meme)
Background and Talking Points
The phrase “it was definitely semen” in the original article comes from the victim’s own social media post, not from any forensically verified information. Marseille’s press release itself only referred to a “serious incident” and never specifically named the substance. Violence and security problems at French stadiums have been repeatedly reported in recent years, and this post appears to have spread partly within that context. On the thread, the back-and-forth centered more on joking about “whether it really was semen” than on the actual details of the incident, with several replies noting that the woman’s father, standing nearby, had apparently been caught up in it too — but it’s worth noting that no new facts about the incident or any investigation were actually revealed on 5ch itself.
