<h1>【Anime Miscellaneous】About the defeated dog in the anime
</h1>
The most popular meme recently is the crying face of 015 in "DARLING in the FRANXX", whether it is S1, Tieba or Weibo, the twisted berry kitchen tirelessly produces and spreads various immoral p-charts. The stem of "Berry Conscience" has also been widely circulated, and it has even been on the hot search list of Weibo and Tieba.
Behind this is a more common phenomenon: some viewers see that when the lovers in the animation finally become dependents, there is no fluctuation in their hearts; and when they see a character who is emotionally frustrated and abused, they are often excited. Is this psychology of schadenfreude a moral fall or a distortion of human nature?
The defeated dog in the anime refers to the loser in polyamorous love. This type of role often has some commonalities, such as taking the initiative to show favor to the male protagonist, sincerely paying but not getting the love of the male protagonist, which has a great advantage on the surface, but in fact, it is often abused by the screenwriter to die and live. The "green plum bamboo horses" in the animation are the most likely to become a group of defeated dogs.
This is not what I am saying, the Finnish anthropologist Edward Westmark once put it in his book "A History of Human Marriage": "Two children who grew up together in their early years usually do not have sexual attraction to each other in adulthood." This theory is called the "Westmark effect", or it can be called the "green plum bamboo horse can not beat the skyfall theory" (funny).
Back to the point, why is the role of a defeated dog popular?
I think the most essential reason is that the audience likes to watch others eat up. Everyone has the mentality of watching hilarity, and when looking for entertainment in animation, it is understandable to lack a slight lack of morality and schadenfreude. Especially in the popular animation of "national team", once the audience lacks morality, it will form a collective carnival, and "like to lose dogs" has become a kind of political correctness.
In addition, the role of the defeated dog is also easy to resonate. When they are struggling and struggling, and they are close to success, they are suddenly defeated by competitors who are killed halfway, that kind of unwillingness and remorse, that kind of heart-rending pain, that kind of powerless struggle, it is easy to affect the audience's emotions and make people sympathize with them from the heart. Who has not suffered setbacks in their feelings, many viewers also see their own shadows in their bodies, and they will like them.
Of course, it is still recommended that everyone, while playing with the trend, do not ignore the delicate psychological activities of the characters in the work, otherwise it will not be worth the loss. I will always like 015.
