Legend has it that there is a magical thorn.
Every once in a while, it will sneak out and stir up the nerves of the public.
On December 9, Rainie Yang concert in Zhengzhou.
Because of a joke, she became the target of public criticism:
According to the live video of netizens, the reason for Rainie Yang's words was that a couple kissed on the seat and was captured on the big screen, so she asked her dear friend to wave a light stick.
But the audience was very naughty and waved in unison.
So, there are Rainie Yang's words:
"Zhengzhou people are really naughty. Henan people can't be like this, you already have some reputation, love to deceive people. Don't lie to me!"
But even after restoring the whole process, Rainie Yang publicly apologized afterwards.
Many people still say they can't accept it:
"It is recommended to block it! Get out of the mainland!"
Although hell discrimination is an old topic on the Internet, from Henan people stealing manhole covers, to Cantonese people eating Fujianese, from Hainan, an enclave of northeast people, to Jiangsu, which is blackmailing each other in bulk.
However, there has never been such a sensitivity in the past to elevate regional discrimination directly to a political stance and demand for banning.
What exactly counts as geographical discrimination?
What reasonable way should we choose to deal with it?
Don't go too far.
Sir found that regional labels are quite common in movies.
01
No one should question that geographical discrimination should be opposed.
Whether Rainie Yang's words are a deliberate insult or an inappropriate joke, you can also tell for yourself.
Debatable:
Is regional discrimination "insulting China"?
If people in other provinces discriminate against Henan people, everyone may also scold, but it is estimated that no one will say insulting China.
Why are Taiwanese "humiliated"?
Are those who hold this view considered an insult to China? Because they subconsciously treat Taiwan differently from other provinces and exclude them from "China."
To put it simply.
Regional discrimination is not good.
In Sir's view, this is more of a quality issue, whether you are discriminating against regions, women, or different races, it is a bad performance.
Today, however, we regard this as a matter of political stance and a contradiction between ourselves and the enemy.
If you say, Rainie Yang's joke is still a little offensive, because it involves stereotypes.
Then some time ago, Eason Chan was scolded for "regional discrimination".
则让Sir完全摸不着头脑:
In the interactive session of the Macao concert, Eason Chan expressed his thoughts on the tour in Cantonese.
Suddenly, an audience member started to heckle: Speak Chinese!
Eason Chan's expression was helpless.
But instead of agreeing to speak Chinese, he used a plastic Thai to resolve the embarrassment.
So, taken out of context by the media, it became:
Eason Chan's concert refused to speak Chinese and discriminated against mainland audiences.
But what about the truth?
Eason Chan is not reluctant to speak Chinese.
In fact, after speaking Thai, he responded to his refusal very seriously:
"'Please speak Chinese,' it's better, but if you speak Chinese' (loudly), I won't say it." Like if someone says speak English, I'll shut up too. ”
It was supposed to be just a vignette between fans and idols.
The audience did not have any problems and continued to listen to the song happily.
But the onlookers said that they must not let it go.
A small dialect issue.
Not only does it have to rise to geographical discrimination.
It is also said that "the number of dictionaries has forgotten its ancestors" and "the position is suspicious".
Someone in the comment area explained Eason Chan.
said that he is very good at Mandarin, and he has never expressed that Cantonese is more advanced than Mandarin.
As a result, in the eyes of some netizens.
This has become a "number dictionary forgetting ancestors".
Sir couldn't figure it out.
According to the logic of this session of netizens:
Speaking Cantonese is forgetting one's ancestors, so Cantonese is not Chinese?
In this way, they themselves are the ones with the most suspicious position.
In fact, from Rainie Yang to Eason Chan.
What they all have in common is:
are all Hong Kong and Taiwan stars.
In their Xi environment, the interactive session is an occasion where they can speak their hearts and reveal their true temperament.
A little temper, a little offensive, is a plus.
But apparently.
In today's internal entertainment, it is better to be boring than to make mistakes.
Any joke may be a jelly that you will never be able to tell.
02
And not just stars.
With regard to regional discrimination, disputes have been around for a long time.
It's just that people's "feelings" for the region in the past were not so fragile and so easy to be hurt.
Although today Zhao Benshan is the sketch king that the public misses.
But back then, he was not less sprayed.
"Trafficking in abduction" is discrimination against people with disabilities.
The rest of the sketches can all be classified as discrimination against rural people.
Coupled with the accent, it can be further specific to ridicule rural people in the Northeast.
In 2006, Zhao Benshan's New Year's film "Falling Leaves Return to the Roots".
The robber played by Guo Degang back then.
I'm still impressed:
Grabbing the sky, grabbing the ground, and grabbing the air in the middle, a very vivid role.
But a Henan netizen said that he was hurt.
"Robbery is robbery, you Guo Degang is not from Henan, why do you use a Henan accent?"
One for a vivid dialect setting.
It has become a theory of "regional discrimination".
At that time, there was even a post circulating that said that the crime was particularly serious:
Guo Degang pretended to be a robber and spoke Henan dialect, seriously insulting the image of Henan people.
In 2011, the hit "33 Days of Broken Love".
In the film, Li Ke reluctantly spoke a contrived Hong Kong and Taiwan accent, and in the end, because of a foul language with a Henan accent, the character completely collapsed.
At that time, some Henan netizens also expressed dissatisfaction:
In the original book, it was not said that Li Ke was from Henan, what was the screenwriter's intention to emphasize this?
The robber played by Guo Degang is a villain on the surface.
But is there any meaning to open the map cannon of the Henan people?
In the later episode, I heard that Zhao Benshan was going to transport the body of the worker home, and gave all the money snatched from the passengers to Zhao Benshan.
Moreover, the story of "Falling Leaves Return to the Roots" crosses most of China, and I meet all kinds of people along the way.
Is it that when you go to the territory of Henan, you must arrange all the good people, otherwise the region will be black?
If this is the case, then I am afraid that all domestic film and television dramas will be virtualized in the future, either Luteng City or Jinhai, so that no one needs to offend?
If you look at it from such a harsh perspective today.
Then many movies of that year should be taken off the shelves.
"The Saint of Gambling".
Xing Tsai went to Hong Kong from Guangzhou to join relatives, unkempt, carrying snakeskin bags, littering, spitting, picking his nostrils and picking his feet at will.
Does it mean that Guangzhou people are not qualified?
"The Judge of the Dead".
A yin and yang weird dog leg, saying that only we in Shanxi can produce such a fine variety.
Is it attacking Shanxi people who love to do bad things?
"Domestic Lingling Paint".
There is a robber who is from Hunan, but he speaks Henan dialect, and the dubbing translated by Taiwanese compatriots is mixed with the idiomatic language of Shandong Xi......
It's miserable, this is the people who strafed these three provinces at once?
In fact, the regional black has developed to this day.
It's like "insulting China", it has long had cyber attributes.
The logic behind it is that as long as you show the negativity of a group and the darkness of a place: even if these situations exist objectively, it is all attack and discrimination.
It's different.
In the past, only a small group of people were sensitive to regional attacks, and they were criticized and educated by the mainstream media.
In 2017, Weibo netizens also spontaneously held a very popular topic, called "The First Hometown Self-Black Competition".
At that time, instead of arguing, netizens were quite harmonious.
Because sometimes.
Turning stereotypes into jokes, ridiculing, and thinking about them is also a good medicine to resolve estrangement.
Times have changed.
Today, Rainie Yang's joke, which needs to be combined with context, will be infinitely amplified and judged seriously.
The organizer was interviewed, and the Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council had to respond, and there was even a talk of pursuing legal responsibility.
And what about netizens?
Even if it's serious enough, he still doesn't accept it, thinking that he should take the opportunity to block it.
All of a sudden.
Sir really can't tell the difference.
This kind of touch-and-go, grass-roots atmosphere.
What exactly does it mean:
Are we more estranged, or are we less divided?
03
It is necessary to state.
Sir resolutely opposes discrimination in any sense.
Ethnic, geographical, gender.
But what is the essence of discrimination?
To put it simply, it is to rudely regard individual phenomena as the inherent attributes of a certain group.
换言之。
It is to forcibly associate the behavior of an independent individual with the region where he is located, and then strafe the whole.
It is also commonly known as the map cannon.
But today's netizens are more magical.
More often than not, they are the other way around.
For example, some people accuse "Lion Boy" of discriminating against Cantonese people.
The reasons are:
Cantonese people obviously have big eyes, why are they squinting in the animation?
This is to cater to Western stereotypes and scandalize Cantonese people!
If we talk about real regional discrimination, we are generalizing.
Today's accusations of regional discrimination are a kind of self-respecting wholeness to defeat the real partiality.
It's not so much about defending the hometown and justifying the name of the group.
Rather, it is to use brutal collectivism to destroy the free will of the individual.
Ajuan, the protagonist of "Lion Boy", and his little friends, have relatively small eyes.
But it's not without characters with big eyes, such as salted fish strong.
Not only have big eyes.
There are also Danfeng eyes, and the aesthetics are quite diverse.
But why is it that in the eyes of this generation of netizens, it has become a stereotypical squint for all Cantonese people, and even Chinese?
Similarly, the Nanyang midi.
Aunts and uncles rushed into the camp, saying that it was "not wanted at all".
Some netizens who participated in the music festival expressed their disappointment and said bluntly that they would not go to Nanyang again.
This question is, first of all, a question of whether it is illegal or not.
If a fan loses something, who takes it, and the most important thing is to help them find the lost item as soon as possible.
But in such an incident, the concern for facts and law gave way to the so-called "regional black".
The question of whether it is black or not oppresses the nerves, so that the facts are vague and silent.
The hostess cried:
This kind of laughable and unbelievable thing happens repeatedly.
On October 14, a cornfield in Henan Province was looted.
Is it scavenging?
We don't know, anyway, the machine is still harvesting in the field, and I don't know if the contractor agrees with them coming in and picking ears of wheat now.
Does this count as a "zero-dollar purchase"?
Again, it's hard to judge, and it's vague.
On October 31, the medicinal materials in the field of a traditional Chinese medicine grower in Zhoukou, Henan Province, were also snatched up, and it was obvious that she did not agree, and she was already anxious to sit on the ground and cry.
As a result, the response remains:
Say hello, don't be dark anymore.
Geo-black is really not good.
But now our sensitivity and fear of regional blackness seem to have reached an absurd level.
In Sir's view, maintaining normal public order and keeping personal property from damage is the first thing to consider.
But for some people, it seems that it is theft, which is humiliating and easy to be hacked, so they simply deny it and ignore the real legitimate rights and interests.
This kind of obscenity and avoidance of medical treatment is actually a thicker black than "regional black".
The best way is not to silence the person asking the question.
Instead, it reflects on what stubborn diseases are hidden behind the theft.
It is the economic level, the gap between urban and rural areas, and the quality of the group.
Or is it just security that needs to be improved?
Today, the hat of regional black can be covered with almost any kind of rhetoric that tries to seek truth from facts and seek solutions.
The result of many cases is often a "settlement" without a sentence.
The region is black, and unconsciously, it has become an all-purpose fig leaf.
Geo-blackness is sometimes politically incorrect.
But sometimes, it's "quite right".
It's like doing the right thing for heaven.
Last year, Shanghai static management.
Young people dressed up carefully and dressed up to attend the nucleic acid test.
The antigen self-test bag hanging at the door of a community is Prada, LV, Hermes......
At first, netizens ridiculed: It's really Shanghai.
But gradually, it evolved into a peep into Shanghai and a centralized reckoning.
Shanghai is the city with the most coffee shops in the world, and this Westernized lifestyle has been sinned by the Internet.
Therefore, Shanghainese are not Shanghainese, but directly say that they are "concession people".
Shanghai is the "base camp of banana people".
Banana people, lend-leasers, fake foreign devils.
Aren't these words with historical scars much more insulting than many so-called regional black remarks?
But at that time.
Why don't you boycott "regional black"?
Sir's article said that the focus should be on epidemic prevention and material supply, rather than gloating at this time.
But the backstage is full of voices of "Shanghai is xenophobic, there is nothing to wash".
Perhaps in the eyes of many.
Henan, Hong Kong, Shanghai, and Taiwan are all China.
But some places are more Chinese than others.
It seems that only the native is "ours".
Modern, urban, petty bourgeoisie, and in line with international standards are "not enough for China".
As a result, the so-called "regional black" has become a standard for demarcating class and identity, and then the party is the same and different:
My place of belonging can't be black.
It's not mine, it's black.
Regional discrimination is not worth advocating.
But Sir is also skeptical that blocking and banning alone can really eliminate regional discrimination.
Perhaps, on the surface, it was eliminated.
But behind the discrimination, there is a one-man show of self-esteem:
I was discriminated against, hurting my self-esteem.
But I don't want to miss every opportunity to step back and get my self-esteem satisfied.
Then to the end.
We may only be able to become Ah Xing who watches people serve dishes in the pigpen walled city.
When he saw the dwarf, he said, "There is a kind of you coming out."
It turned out that people were very tall and said, who made you stand up.
At this time, Ah Xing still didn't understand.
It was himself who really looked down on him.
Inner inferiority and fragility cannot be solved by looking for other people's faults.
In addition to making yourself really strong.
There is no other way.
