Some scumbags who rely on PUA girls can become cowherds sought after by thousands of people under various beautifications, and every time I think of this, the pickpocket sister feels a little incredible and deformed.
A recent Japanese drama tells about Japan's custom industry and focuses on male public relations, in which the plot also adapts the "Immortal Bird Incident", a sensational social news in Japan.
It's "I Inherited the Cowherd Club."
This drama once again aroused the discussion of the cowherd on the whole network, and there was even a hot topic of the aesthetic degradation of the Japanese cowherd on Weibo.
To be honest, no matter how luxurious the lineup is, it cannot eliminate the discomfort caused by the act of beautifying the cowherd. Instead of spending money to find a cowboy to satisfy the missing emotional value, it is better to find ChatGPT to boast about you.

Japanese male publicist, that is, cowherd.
The customers who enter the store are princesses to the cowherd, and the cowherd's main income is from the commission of selling alcohol. As a result, they will derive various love sales techniques such as friendship and lust business.
But whether it's talking or talking, their purpose is only one from beginning to end: to make female customers willingly spend money for him.
There are only five episodes updated so far, so let's talk about it briefly.
The heroine Kumiko Motohashi was originally a migrant worker in the advertising industry. Working for ten years, I have been in charge of the company's miscellaneous work, and I am in a state where I have no dreams and no love.
As a result, one day because of a last word from her uncle, Kumiko suddenly inherited the male public relations club "MAJEST" in Kabukicho, that is, the cowherd store.
Kumiko is also very resistant and unable to accept Niulang at first, because in her eyes, Niulang is a job that kidnaps women to make money. But Kumiko's feeling of being ignored in advertising agencies no longer wants to settle in this small world.
So under the persuasion of her uncle's subordinates not to give up, Kumiko decided to take over the cowherd shop.
"A great player is a great coach are two different things."
But how can a group of cowherds give in to a girl who has no experience in cowherds, let alone a relationship.
At the Cowherd Shop, in order to serve the public, Kumiko not only became a Cowherd herself, but also had to reach 1 million yen per month to be eligible for inheritance.
Otherwise, the store manager will have to give up to MAJEST's top cowherd Masato.
In the first episode of the plot, there is actually not much problem, that is, the heroine naturally inherits the cowherd shop according to her uncle's will.
The problem arises, and then the glorification of the cowherd and some of the righteousness.
Later, when the company's employees sorted out their finances, they also discovered that the president was actually 50 million yen (about 2.5 million people) in debt due to the impact of the epidemic.
According to the current operation, the cowherd store will close down in less than half a year. And Kumiko, as the new store manager, must find a way to solve this, so everyone can think of it in the future.
This cowherd shop, led by Kumiko, is on the road to revitalization.
This kind of narrative of the big heroine who has the opportunity to dominate her life from being confused and ignored to having the opportunity to dominate her life plus a cowherd still makes many people happy:
"So jealous, my ideal life."
"I like Japan, which is perverted, although it is annoying, but it naturally exists, and it can also be on various variety shows, and it can also be beautified into various TV series."
But this kind of tender narrative of selling misery simply cannot dispel the exploitation and mental control oppression of women in the cowherd industry.

But in fact, most people cannot accept this kind of behavior of beautifying and laundering the business of cowherds.
"It's really hard to have a good impression of the cowherd who has ruined many women's lives."
"No matter how the status of the female protagonist is, the stars hold the moon, and the male protagonists are rich and beautiful, but they are all false happiness for female audiences."
In particular, the screenwriter and director put the "Immortal Bird Case" directly on the screen.
At that time, a Japanese girl named Yuka Takaoka fell in love with the cowherd Ryutsuki, and Yuka Takaoka not only smashed all her savings on him, but even began to sell herself as a helper, and smashed a 10,000-year-old "crane tail" out of the Top 3 with money.
And Ryugetsu promised her that she would "stop being a cowherd when she stabilized" and "get married in a few months", while continuing to flirt with other female customers, because in his heart, Yuka Takaoka was just a customer who was willing to spend money.
After Yuka Takaoka persuades him to quit and wants to move into an apartment with him, Ryugetsu begins to drift away from her.
Under the domination of possessiveness, Takaoka Yuka decided to kill the scumbag first and then martyrdom, and after stabbing the scumbag, Takaoka Yuka saw the other party's painful appearance and moved his compassion again.
She called the police, sat next to the scumbag, lit a cigarette, and quietly waited for the arrival of the police.
The scumbag escaped the ghost gate because of this, and also changed his name to "Explosive Red" to make a comeback, and changed his name to "Immortal Bird" with this bloody emotional anecdote as a gimmick, becoming the number one in the store, gaining fame and fortune.
The girl ended up in jail and was sentenced to three and a half years.
Ryugetsu was changed to be called "Ruyue" in the play, and was also stabbed by a guest, but what is presented in the play is completely forcibly whitewashing for Niulang, and even a little upside down black and white.
It became the girl's willfulness and wrongness.
In court, when Ruyue was asked if he was in a relationship with the defendant, he said with certainty that he did not, and as for the physical relationship, he did not deny it at all.
The agreement to live together was only a verbal agreement, so Ruyue didn't take it to heart at all. Although the girl has already spent 10 million yen on him, it is a sleep service in his eyes.
Dare to make such wild words, the reputation of Ruyue and Niulang Shop is naturally scolded, and it still can't stop Ruyue from using immortal birds to stir up the atmosphere.
Kumiko needs to save it all, so under her advice. In the end, Niu Lang also forgave the girl in court and asked for a commutation of her sentence, even saying that "she is an important princess to me".
Seeing this scene, Sister Pickpocket gasped, it is true that she deserves to be stabbed because Ruyue is a cowherd, but this matter obviously cannot be judged by the surface alone.
The reason behind this? Is the real victim really a cowherd?
If it were not for knowing the cause of the incident, I am afraid that many people would really believe in this self-touch.
As some viewers believe, kind-hearted and sincere people simply can't stay in the cowherd industry:
"The essence of this industry is a kind of adverse selection, people with a kind heart and sincerity are simply impossible to stay in this industry, only ruthless people can mix, and the more there is no moral bottom line, the better it is to mix, and the more money you make."
These cowherds obviously have a complete set of PUA logic when facing female customers.

Speaking of cowherds, we have to mention the spicy man with "Japan's first cowherd" and "emperor of the night", Roland.
At the age of 27, he became a legend in the Japanese public relations industry, setting a record annual income of more than 300 million yen.
His deeds as a cowherd were even carefully packaged into an inspirational novel by major media.
Most of the time, he appears as a "three high" high-quality man: high appearance, high emotional intelligence, and high IQ.
He was admitted to the University of Tokyo, but because he was afraid that his life would become dull, he chose to drop out after only one week of admission and became a cowherd.
Entering the industry at the age of 18, he became the first in the performance of the cowherd store in one year, became the youngest store manager in the Niulang class at the age of 20, earning 60 million yen in one night, and the annual income reached 300 million yuan at the age of 26.
Selling art does not sell himself, excellent business ability, too much money to spend but self-discipline to outrageous, his usual hobbies are fitness, learning English, reading fan letters, and the only activity that can be called a pastime is anime. In the best possible condition, serving more women is his desire.
Of course, what shocked everyone the most was the famous saying: "There are only two kinds of men in the world, me, and men other than me".
Roland became popular overnight in China, and even the cowherd industry was labeled as an "inspirational legitimate profession", and even more, he described the cowherd as a prince who heals the soul, saves the soul, and leads him forward.
The "confident and dedicated" cowherd character has made more and more women yearning.
At the same time, there are many famous male stars in Japan who have played cowherds, such as Kento Yamazaki, Takuya Kimura, Shun Oguri and so on.
As Japan's legendary cowherd of the 90s: shooting star.
Not only invented the "champagne tower" in the cowherd industry, but he was the prototype of the famous Japanese manga "The Night King".
Under the rendering of this kind of personality, the cowherds not only have high business, strong business ability, and self-discipline, but also know how to provide emotional value to women, which is the perfect character that "ordinary men" can not achieve in their lifetime.
In the past, male public relations sleeping with a man was a taboo because once he slept with him, he was considered lowly, but after the Reiwa era, the sleeping companion service became popular.
Akimi Takashima said that in a male public relations store, once a female customer has sex with a cowherd, she will pursue the ranking of other female customers in the cowherd's heart, which is what we now call female competition.
As long as Niulang knows how to satisfy women's emotional values and play with feelings, then they can sit in luxurious private rooms and get drunk with female guests all year round.
Therefore, most cowherds have a set of processes for customers to "take the initiative" to spend money, let female customers compare with each other, and some cowherd stores will also secretly collude with loan sharks and the industry to form a set of "industrial chains".
And in order to please them, these women did not hesitate to borrow usury, sell themselves to film, become addicted to drugs, fall into the endless abyss, and even commit suicide because they could not pay high debts.
Despite frequent overturns, in the eyes of many people, the cowherd shop is still a god-like existence.
According to Japanese media data, 86% of women in Japan have visited cowherd shops to consume, because in their opinion, cowherds can bring happiness to themselves.
After all, it is a social issue, and in Japan, women have very little say.
"The cowherd industry has changed a lot in the past 10 years. Recently, many young girls have visited the cowherd shop, but for unknown reasons, they have become depressed and choose to commit suicide by jumping off a building in Shinjuku. ”

The cowherds say that the job of the male publicist is to provide the princess with a real date, as if she didn't pay, what we offer is a dream.
While they set up the perfect intimate persona, they really just want women to pay for them out of their pockets. Women are consumed, on the contrary, become a tool for the cowherd to seek money, and are completely objectified.
In fact, this touted cowherd culture has never really been able to sell dreams to women.
