Go Tokyo Your Experience
In many popular Japanese anime works, seemingly ordinary characters can unexpectedly attract notorious handsome or beautiful individuals in school, leading to an unimaginable romantic development. This plotline is already quite common. However, should such creations be prohibited?
In recent discussions, Japanese netizens have expressed different viewpoints. They believe that although such plotlines can provide emotional comfort, in certain cases, they may also plant unrealistic seeds of fantasy in the minds of young readers, potentially having a negative impact on the psychological health during adolescence. Therefore, exploring the opinions of Japanese netizens may help us better understand this issue.
Like the shining and dazzling sunlight boy in that class, or the unattainable cold beauty, witnessing the warmth and kindness of an unremarkable protagonist at a certain moment, subtle feelings gradually well up in their hearts… These settings should really be prohibited, as they may harm the mental development of young people.
A Japanese X user nicknamed ‘Setsu’ sharply criticized the plot of ‘Beautiful People Falling for Ordinary Folks’, arguing that it is detrimental to the psychological health of young people. This view instantly sparked heated discussions online!
Next, let’s think about this: Can an ordinary person truly connect with the well-known handsome guys or beautiful girls in the class, let alone develop a romantic relationship?
Many Japanese netizens are skeptical about this.
This is a fictional plot and should be clearly distinguished by enthusiasts. If it misleads young people into thinking they might have such opportunities, it is indeed inappropriate.
The work is fictional and should be understood as such.
If it really has to be banned, the survival rate of this kind of comic might be less than one-tenth.
The facts are indeed so.
Speaking of this, should the handsome guys in shoujo manga who often exclaim ‘This girl is really interesting’ be considered a form of excessive fantasy?
Ultimately, those inconspicuous characters are indeed hard to notice in reality.
What is important is to educate young people to distinguish between reality and fiction, rather than banning their fantasies outright.
Do not deprive young people of their right to dream.
Only a few people cannot distinguish between reality and fiction; most readers have an idea in their hearts.
Shouldn’t we add warning labels like those on cigarette packages?
Well, then I’ll try to reincarnate in another world~~
Perhaps, as many netizens have said, most readers who love this kind of plot are able to correctly distinguish between fiction and reality in their hearts.
However, for those young people who find it difficult to distinguish between fiction and reality, should we provide more education and guidance?
If the boundary between dreams and reality is too vague, could it have a potential impact on their growth? This is worth contemplating.
