It's outrageous! The director of the Legend of Mortal Cultivators was forced to apologize, and a line was blasted by a female audience
Recently, a high-profile Xianxia drama "The Legend of Mortal Immortals" has caused widespread controversy. The show has won the love of the audience with its beautiful graphics, tight plot, and excellent cast. However, as the plot deepened, a seemingly ordinary line caused an uproar, and the director was even forced to apologize publicly. What's going on here?
It turned out that in the latest plot of "The Legend of Mortal Immortals", the heroine said in a conversation with the male protagonist: "Women should be husbands and children at home, and don't show their faces." As soon as this line was broadcast, it immediately sparked dissatisfaction and protests from female viewers. Many female viewers believe that this line conveys a kind of sexism and stereotype, which seriously damages the dignity and rights of women.
With the fermentation of public opinion, more and more female viewers began to speak out, demanding an apology and clarification from the crew and director on the matter. They believe that as a TV series with a wide audience, "The Legend of Mortal Immortals" has the responsibility to convey correct values and gender concepts, rather than promoting sexism and stereotypes.
In the face of increasing pressure from public opinion, the director was finally forced to apologize publicly. He posted a lengthy post on social media, explaining his original intention and idea for creating the line. The director said that he did not realize that this line would cause such controversy and dissatisfaction, and he just wanted to express the thoughts and perceptions of the heroine as a traditional woman. However, he also admits that there is indeed a problem with sexism and stereotypes in this line, for which he is deeply sorry.
In his apology, the director also said that he would seriously reflect on his shortcomings and mistakes in creation, and strive to improve while avoiding similar problems from happening again. He also called on all creators and audiences to work together to promote the development of the film and television industry in a more inclusive and equal direction.
However, the director's apology did not completely quell the anger and dissatisfaction of the female audience. Some viewers felt that the director's apology, while expressing sincerity, did not really recognize the seriousness of the problem. They believe that the sexism and stereotypes conveyed by this line not only damage women's dignity and rights, but also limit women's development and progress in society.
This controversy has also made more people pay attention to and think about the issue of sexism and stereotypes in film and television works. Some viewers said they didn't realize that the problem was so common and serious in film and television productions. They hope that in the future, there will be more works that can convey correct gender concepts and values, and strive for more equality and respect for women.
At the same time, the controversy has also sparked discussions about the censorship and regulation of the film and television industry. Some viewers called on the relevant authorities to strengthen the review and supervision of film and television works to avoid similar problems from happening again. They believe that only through strict scrutiny and regulation can they ensure that film and television productions convey the right values and gender concepts, and provide audiences with a healthier and more rewarding entertainment experience.
Looking back on this controversy, we can't help but think: why did a seemingly ordinary line cause such a big storm? Why are female viewers so sensitive and dissatisfied with this line, and what problems are reflected in this?
Perhaps, it is precisely because of this line that touches the pain points and sensitive points in the hearts of female audiences. In modern society, women are no longer "husbands and children" in the traditional sense, and they can also shine in various fields and contribute to society. Therefore, when this line appears, it is natural for female viewers to feel dissatisfied and angry.
In addition, the controversy reflects the persistence of sexism and stereotypes in the film and television industry. Although in recent years, with the progress of society and the change of concepts, the portrayal of gender in film and television works has gradually moved towards pluralism and equality. However, there are still some creators and production staff who lack gender awareness and equality awareness, which leads to the problem of sexism and stereotypes in the work.
To sum up, the controversy caused by the line "The Legend of Mortal Immortals" is not only a discussion about sexism and stereotypes, but also a reflection on the censorship and regulation of the film and television industry, the gender consciousness of creators and social values. I hope that in the future, there will be more works that can convey correct gender concepts and values, and strive for more equality and respect for women. At the same time, it is also hoped that the relevant departments can strengthen the review and supervision of film and television works, ensure that the works convey correct values and gender concepts, and provide audiences with a healthier and more beneficial entertainment experience.
