Quick comments| the "squinting" controversy, aesthetic common sense can not be absent

The controversy caused by the "squinting eyes" makeup incident of the three squirrel models is enough to make people stunned. After the Shanghai Consumer Protection Commission's WeChat account on the 27th, the saliva controversy continued.

On December 26, three squirrels appeared on Weibo's hot search. Some netizens posted the product promotion poster of the three squirrels in October 2019, because of the "squinting eyes" makeup of the model in the poster, some netizens believe that the three squirrels are deliberately scandalizing the Chinese. For the discomfort caused by netizens, the three squirrels deeply apologized and replaced the page at the first time. This shows the extreme caution of the three squirrels in the face of public opinion.

The Shanghai Consumer Protection Commission said that the aesthetics of the consumer circle should also keep pace with the times. Society is developing, consumption is iterating, and only by keeping pace with the times can businesses keep pace with the times, meet the new aesthetic needs of consumers, and establish cultural and emotional resonance with consumers. The voice is kind, but no one has given an answer as to how to "keep up with the times" to keep up with the aesthetic needs of some overly picky consumers. In fact, this answer is not very easy to give.

This situation reminds one of the importance of common sense. The common sense is that the world is colorful, and so is beauty. As long as it does not violate public order and good customs, and does not violate the basic aesthetics, it cannot be put on the line for the reflection of individuals.

We must resolutely oppose the practice of vilifying our countrymen. If anyone deliberately defames the Chinese people or even insults China, we will never agree. This is a moral realization of being a Chinese. At the same time, we should also give a fair and just voice to those works or products that have no meaning of ugliness but are "interpreted" and "abstracted" to be ugly.

The above-mentioned poster model @ Cai Xiaoxiao has responded on Weibo: she did not deliberately want to create an insulting image, but only to shoot what the merchant wants according to the requirements of the merchant. "I don't deserve to be a Chinese with my small eyes?" She stressed that she is a citizen who loves the motherland and abides by discipline and law, and hopes that netizens will not make personal attacks on her private messages. We should read this resentment. No one has the right to shell an innocent person through unwarranted "interpretation" to highlight their righteousness and extraordinaryness.

Of course, propaganda posters should be commented on, and people's views are always diverse and different, which is originally a characteristic of "crowd review". Of course, this propaganda poster of three squirrels is not perfect, it obviously has room for improvement. But not sticking to labels and wearing big hats has transcended the boundaries of rational discussion. The unfair evaluation of individuals and enterprises forms a double pressure, which is not conducive to enhancing the innovation of poster products and maintaining a relaxed atmosphere of creation in the field. This is worrying.

Over the years, in cartoons and even film and television works, the image of "squinting eyes" is not uncommon, is this also a manifestation of the image of the people who have been ugly and has not been "pulled out"? We really should not look at the "small eyes" of actors and models, or even make a harsh argument. On the issue of "aesthetic self-confidence", we can do better.

It is not surprising that anyone has ever thought of a simple thing as complicated. But in any case, we can try our best to use common sense and rationality to correct the perspective of observation at any time, so that we can become objective and peaceful. May similar "controversies" be a little less and a little less. Modern Express commentator Dai Zhishen
