Rebirth of the Father of Anime

"Give a simple example." Moebius said to He Chen methodically, with a pair of deep eyes shining with wisdom, "In most societies with relatively open cultures, if a girl likes racing, This will be considered a very 'cool' thing. If you say 'women should not like racing, racing is a man's sport', that is undoubtedly a 'politically incorrect' thing. Even AFP would not dare Put it this way. On the contrary, if a boy likes pink plush toys, he will be considered a freak and a sissy. No one will accept this statement, and even some conservative areas regard it as 'politically correct'."

He Chen thought for a while and refuted Moebius: "This statement does not apply to China. In China, girls like racing. It is a deviant thing and is generally regarded as non-mainstream - this sentence is not what it means. Good title."

Moebius's deep and wise eyes suddenly looked at He Chen as if he were a class enemy: "That's why Hermès cannot develop in China! Please listen carefully to what I have to say!"

He Chen shrugged and gestured to Moebius, asking him to continue. But he was thinking that "my--" was originally a work created by Westerners and conformed to Western thinking patterns. No wonder it was not adapted to China's climate. To be honest, he should be glad that he is not accustomed to the local environment. If he is really convinced, he will be surrounded by such fanatical "Hermès"... He Chen shudders just thinking about it.

"The groundless accusations against Hermès in the AFP report - homosexuality, sissy, pedophilia - actually represent conservative stereotypes about 'gender roles', which is quite common in some places in Europe and the United States. And other relatively neutral media, such as n, Huffington Post, etc., when reporting on the Hermès phenomenon, the most mentioned words are 'gender roles' and 'masculinity'."

"Wait a minute, I didn't see this kind of statement before when it came to the theme of magical girls?" He Chen was puzzled by this.

"At that time, this trend had just emerged and had not attracted widespread attention, so naturally there was no such statement. "My--" just happened at the right time. It just pushed this issue to the forefront." Moebius explained He Chen's question, Then he continued. "There is a misunderstanding that Hermès is a reversal of 'gender roles', which is not entirely true. Opposition to traditional male gender roles does not equal femininity. This dualism is a very dangerous view. Moreover, from a psychological survey, Hermès just does not agree with the character role conceptually, which does not mean that they are completely divorced from traditional male roles - the survey shows that the PAS scores of Hermès and non-Hermès are almost the same, and PAS was originally designed to test the degree of adherence to standard male or female roles. ."

"From my point of view, I don't like to be expected to live according to the positioning of men in social norms. I like the beauty of technology and industry, but also like cute things; I like adventure and excitement, but also like tranquility. This actually shouldn't be the case. What is seen as a 'gender' issue is simply a 'character' issue."

He Chen deeply agreed with Moebius's point of view.

but,

Moebius hasn't finished his words yet: "At the same time, this is also a rebellion against the cynicism now prevalent on the Internet. The British Guardian mentioned an interesting concept when describing the Hermès phenomenon. They believe that Hermès culture is the 'sincerity' of the modern Internet Movement' part."

"What is the New Sincerity Movement? This term first appeared in the mid-1980s to combat the postmodern irony and cynicism of the time, and was expressed in music, literature, film and television. It is the same as post-postmodernism. Both It has a similar concept, but due to its relatively short history and confusing usage, there is no precise definition."

"The general idea of ​​this word is to use positive beliefs, sincerity, and trust to challenge postmodern irony, especially the post-Vietnam and Cold War ideological trends. Although this word first appeared in the field of music, the musicians under this banner were It was not a commercial success, and it really started to appear on the Internet and mainstream media, which is what happened at the beginning of this century. And the term 'geek/nerd' began to transform from a stereotype often ridiculed in popular culture. As cool a concept as it is, sincerity is something we should put back into the discussion at ethics conferences. Instead of deriding it as 'childish'."

"In the Internet age, with the help of anonymity, it is easy for people to hide behind the screen to ridicule, ridicule, and abuse others. It seems that everyone has become cynical. If it is on Weibo, you should be able to realize that sincere discussions are often It is a very extravagant thing, and everyone is used to hating each other, with a hint of thorn in their words..."

Ling Yan couldn't help but nod at Moebius's words. This is a common phenomenon in the Internet age. This is true all over the world.

"But Hermès is not like that, at least most of them are not like that." Moebius changed the topic and brought the topic back to Hermès, "All the qualities mentioned in "my--" - friendliness, optimism, generosity, Integrity, loyalty, and friendship are things that everyone should have, not just children. But online, we find it difficult to express such positive qualities normally if you emphasize them. , then there will only be two reactions: first, stop feeding chicken soup for the soul; second, be realistic, child. This is a very strange and not normal discussion atmosphere at all. Of course, chicken soup for the soul that is divorced from factual basis is not good chicken soup, then That’s another question.”

"So, in fact, most Hermès would not label themselves 'new sincerity' or 'post-postmodernism'. They just face the world with optimism and some idealism. People like me , Hermès, who is an adult and has graduated for many years, does not need to get any education from such an animation like a child, he just accidentally discovered a new world that fits his own worldview!"

Moebius's eyes were shining with fanaticism!

That is when believers see the light of God!

Every artist is an idealist, and Moebius is even more so.

Speaking of idealists, Moebius also mentioned Lelouch in "Lelouch of the Rebellion" that He Chen just ended. Speaking of which, isn't that what Lelouch is?

So, Lelouch is also a Hermes?

He Chen could no longer look directly at Demon King Lelouch.

"In the analysis of the five major personality traits of Hermès and non-Hermès, there is no significant difference in conscientiousness and openness to experience. In terms of agreeableness, Hermès is significantly higher than non-Hermès. At the same time, non-Hermès has emotional instability and extraversion. Significantly higher than Hermès.”

“Broadly explained, agreeableness refers to being friendly, sympathetic, getting along well with others, and being more optimistic; emotional instability refers to the tendency to experience negative emotions, such as anger and anxiety; extraversion refers to extroversion, They are energetic and love to seek excitement. In addition to the five major personality traits, Hermès is also more focused than non-Hermès, that is, they are more likely to be immersed in music, movies and even nature. This kind of character, in Hermès’ words, It is love and tolerance; to use a more Zen expression - inner peace."

He Chen looked at Moebius who was talking endlessly, was silent for a moment, and said, "I think I must have recognized the wrong person. The Moebius I know is a comic artist, not a scientist, philosopher, psychologist, Sociologist…”

"Comics are an art and a philosophy. What they depict is psychology and what they reflect is sociology!" Moebius said impassionedly.

What he said was so good that He Chen was speechless.

"However, these are just my research. It is difficult to confirm whether they can represent the mainstream Hermès, but we can get evidence from character analysis. The work "my--" and the Hermès community formed were initially unintentionally catering to It captures most of Hermès’ character traits, and then uses its affinity, openness and focus to attract more people with similar personalities to gather here, triggering such a diverse Internet subculture.”

"Having said so much, I can actually say it clearly in one sentence: "my--" is a good animation. Good animation is good animation, and it has nothing to do with the group or subject matter; the rise of "my--" caters to contemporary teenagers The dissatisfaction and true resistance to social phenomena - using love and tolerance to resist, also caters to the character traits of these optimists and idealists; the open community atmosphere incorporates a large number of contemporary subculture groups."

"Wait a minute, that's not one sentence, but three sentences." He Chen corrected.

Moebius smiled heartily and once again made He Chen speechless with a wild slogan: "Seriously, you will lose!"

"I feel that the "my--" you are talking about is not the same race as the one I drew. I feel that I can't understand "my--" at all now. I think I have to go back and take a good look at "my--"."

Moebius hooked He Chen's shoulder and walked towards the stage built in the convention and exhibition center.

"Chinese people are humble. Excessive modesty will appear hypocritical. One of Hermès' important qualities is sincerity!" Moebius stood on the stage and moved He Chen's body so that He Chen faced the group of fanatical believers.

"Come on, follow us and shout my--!"

"my--!"

The believers raised their arms and shouted. If this scene was said to be a cult gathering, I am afraid no one would doubt it.

"Tonight we are all Hermès!"

He Chen suddenly felt that foreign countries seemed to be more dangerous than domestic ones. (To be continued)-- 3170++4390347 --\u003e
