<h3>"Pride" originated</h3>

First of all, please ask Miss Pear Pear, who is related to both labels, to create an atmosphere.

Paper Science: The Decline of "Pride" and the Rise of "Bad Dogs"

As shown in the figure

Many Chinese people's impression of the term "proud jiao" (ツンデレ) began in the era of The Nail Palace between Xiana and Fengsaka Ōkawa. In those days when ACG content is not as diverse as it is today, the image of the girl we come into contact with is relatively limited, and in this relatively limited type, the arrogant attribute naturally grabs more attention because of its sharpness.

It is generally believed that the word "proud" originated on the Internet on August 29, 2002. At that time, there was a submission on the Japanese Instant Discussion Edition "あやしいわーるど@暫定" describing Ōkuji Yayu in the love adventure game "ツンデデレレが良い" (prickly and delicate feeling good) to describe the love adventure game "You Expect Forever" ("Junが望む永遠"). Of course, this is not to say that Ōkuji Ayu is the starting point of the concept of arrogance – we can find characters similar to Ōkuji in many works from before the 21st century. So, what are the so-called "similar elements"? In other words, what kind of person is Ayu of Ōkōji that pride becomes her main label?

The game "What You Expect Forever" has a standard Korean drama love triangle script. After experiencing entanglements with Haruka and Mizuki, the male protagonist meets the arrogant and arrogant blonde double-ponytail colleague Dakongji (and satirizes each other, back and forth) at the restaurant where he works. After a series of interactions, the Great Void Temple gradually became gentler, but still did not completely let go of the arrogant attitude.

Generally speaking, This is how Miss Ōteraku treats you

Including Harumi Sakuma in the contemporaneous Autumn Sakura No Kuni and Ryumi Nanase in The Season of Radiance, such characters initially have an hostility to the protagonist's arrogance, which over time is often partially dissipated and replaced by shy words and deeds. This contrast across time is cute - the shyness that has always been set off by arrogance is right in the chest of many people. At the same time, players are also satisfied with the sense of accomplishment of "after hard work to finally succeed in the strategy".

<h3>The evolution of the concept of "arrogance"</h3>

Linguistically, it is not uncommon for a word to be appended with richer meanings over time. New words in the Internet age benefit from the speed of communication, and their evolution is even faster. The word "arrogant" is certainly no exception: it has quickly become known and applied by groups after 2002, and some "proto-aurors" are dissatisfied with this generalization and abuse of "arrogance", but they are helpless.

A typical example takes place in the Japanese anime Lucky Star. In the "Lucky Channel" section of episode 10 of Lucky Star, Shiraishi disputed the fact that "the mirror is arrogant": "Pride represents a person's state of mind changes with the passage of time, but today pride has become a word that represents the two sides of the role, that is, on the surface arrogant and prickly, and the heart is shy and shy. This cannot but be said to be a fallacy. ”

That is to say, according to the previous definition of "former pride and post-coquettish", the fir mirror obviously does not meet the standard of arrogance, and the reality is that people today have become more and more inclined to accept the later definition - "former arrogance and post-coquettish" is no longer the focus, "external arrogance and inner petite" is the focus - from this point of view, the fir mirror is partially consistent.

Of course, this is not the end, the concept of arrogance is still developing and generalizing, and its meaning in the audience is becoming more and more vague, and the result is that different people will hold different views. The difference in everyone's definition of arrogance makes it more difficult to discuss, such as some people think that Asuka is a classic role of arrogance, but others think that Asuka is arrogant and the outside, but she is not soft and shy on the inside - her heart is fragmented and chaotic.

Another example is Haruhi Ryogu: some people think that she definitely meets the definition of pride and is partly shy; others think that she has not changed between the two extremely enough, so that she is not in contrast, and naturally does not conform to the arrogance that belongs to it. There are other arguments for each of these views, which will not be elaborated upon here.

<h3>The rise and decline of "arrogance"</h3>

No character attribute tag appears instantaneously. It takes a while to evolve and accumulate, and then it is revised and refined based on audience feedback. In the case of Daikonji, the complex character itself is the result of the integration of a series of elements, and it is also the source of the next character creation: she can extract elements such as blonde hair, double ponytail, big miss, pride, shame and anger, and some of these popular combinations are still used today, and when the audience's preference for contrast spreads, the industry reacts quickly to this. The concept of pride began its golden age around 2002 after it was established and entered the mainstream.

As a milestone in the inheritance of the past, Xia Na has established an image of an arrogant Lolita who descends from heaven, is strong, insolent and sincere. Xiana's success was naturally imitated by countless latecomers, and the form of imitation was to purify the popular elements and recreate them. But as mentioned above: although she is an integral part of Xiana, she is not all of Xia Na. This is even more evident in Fengsaka Dahe, who is also known as the "Four Mengs of the Nail Palace": her personal background and experience are the core that impresses the audience. That kind of prickly attitude is an outward manifestation of personal experience and state of mind. Just grasping the performance without enough background experience to support it, its character image inevitably tends to be thin.

We can use an analogy: MSG purified from kelp is a good thing, but MSG is not a main dish. Not only that, but adding too much can also make the dish unpalatable. This is why many people complain that today's arrogant characters are just vain: the author can't distinguish between arbitrariness and arrogance, making the arrogant characters only annoying people.

Paper Science: The Decline of "Pride" and the Rise of "Bad Dogs"

Proud of it is not a castle in the air

On the other hand, when the arrogant attribute appears in large numbers, even if the creator grasps the essence of the imitation, the result is only the birth of a large number of homogeneous settings and character images, which inevitably makes the audience aesthetic fatigue - naturally, this also produces feedback, so that the heroines who affect the fate of the protagonist and take him out of the daily life are now mostly no longer choosing the arrogant persona. This is both the result of aesthetic fatigue and the reason why the arrogance tends to be defeated in the next step: the arrogance slowly breaks away from the protagonist and begins to become a popular attribute of the supporting characters, taking a back seat.

In homogenization, an interesting example of purification is Blend · Hyuga Natsufan in "S": When she plays the role of arrogant, she adopts a very templated way of expression, which includes a golden double ponytail, and "Don't get me wrong, it's not for you..." and other common lines that we are all too familiar with. Of course, her guests don't reject this kind of performance, they don't need to show more of an inner heart for her, just a stereotyped expression of arrogance – which reflects the mentality of a part of the audience.

Even so, there are still a small number of still attractive arrogant petites, who occasionally make two strokes for the declining arrogance attributes. The light in "Blade of the Otherworld 2" is a typical example, and the "proud" part of the light is properly grasped: as a heavenly descendant, she is strong enough to affect the fate of the protagonist, and she never plays ambiguously on formal occasions, or deliberately makes embarrassing words and deeds - in short, she makes the player recognize that "pride is indeed the temperament she deserves" and will not feel uncomfortable about it. Under this premise, in some daily conversations, lex H is shyly said, and after Nia's famous line, he blushes and slaps Lex, who does not look at the atmosphere, which can be regarded as a harmless cute point for flirting, which naturally increases the charm of light.

Paper Science: The Decline of "Pride" and the Rise of "Bad Dogs"

Arrogance is also very subtle, in the end it is all character building

Another arrogant label character who has been popular in recent years is the famous assistant in the long-standing "Stone Gate of Destiny" series of 5pb. - Miss Makise Hongliqi. As a heavenly descendant, although the assistant has not forcefully and directly changed the fate of the protagonist, he has always provided support that is more important than changing his fate. Although The fierce zhen came all the way in the middle of the road, doing actions that ordinary people could not understand, saying words that were not marginal, the assistant did not show disgust or incomprehension, let alone show sympathy that hurt people's self-esteem. She will naturally pick up the fierce terrier, and she can always help with what the fierce really wants to do, even if it is outside the technology, when the fierce real is the most desperate and helpless and most wants to give up, it is also the assistant who sees through him at a glance: "You, are you crossing over?" ”

No matter which world line she is on, Makise is truly worthy of the title of assistant: as a truly intelligent auxiliary partner, she can always quickly grasp information and help The Evil True achieve her goals.

In so many world lines, only the assistant never seems to leave. This unique sense of peace of mind about being understood and supported is fundamental to her popularity. On top of this, the arrogance of the genius girl is not as easy as the most light and fluttering stroke, but the proud genius girl who never stirs up trouble and brings trouble, coupled with the cute component highlighted in the spit and being spat on, is more pleasant than the pride in the general impression.

<h3>The rise of the "defeated dog" expression</h3>

The term "defeated dog" (負け犬) in the context of the Chinese people refers to quite clearly, that is, the loser on the battlefield of love.

The image of the loser in love has been vast in past literature, and can even be traced back to ancient myths, but it is difficult to say where the current craze of people's love to ridicule the lost dog began. In the era of "Dragons and Tigers", the winner was still the arrogant Fengsaka Ōkawa, and Yami Kawashima, voiced by Hideri Kitamura, retired. After being paired with many emotionally frustrated characters such as Sayaka in "Magical Girl Circle" and Ryotsuki in "Confused Butler and Cowardly Me", the name of Kitamura's "Blood Hoof" gradually spread. But even so, the ridicule of the loser in the love battlefield is limited to voice actors and nothing else. Most of the time, many well-portrayed characters such as Aoyama Seven Seas are only painful, and the audience has not yet shown a smile of lack of morality while heartache, intercepting and spreading the expression of the defeated dog.

What really became the beginning of the spread of expressions was probably "Heartbeat! The bridge section of The Beautiful Girl of Light episode 47, The Rokuhana of Lingchuan.

Paper Science: The Decline of "Pride" and the Rise of "Bad Dogs"

"Wouldn't it be nice?"

In terms of content, this smile, which is worse than crying, really contains too much emotion and information. It is easy for the audience to combine Rokka's previous encounter with the expression of the moment, and in contrast, a sadistic feeling (Mitsumi is a very lily-weight work, and the plot bluntly says that Rokka is the protagonist's good wife, so it should not be regarded only as a friendship between girls): Rokuka, as the protagonist's young tame, is the intimate relationship between the swallow and the happy prince, but in episode 10, the protagonist invites the newly acquainted idol Makoto to spend the night at his house; in the middle and late stages, the protagonist interacts frequently with Regina, the daughter of the enemy boss, until they confess to each other. During this period, Liuhua was in a state of passer-by for a long time. At this moment, Liuhua, even if she knows that the heart of her first love is no longer on her body, she still supports the protagonist, and even helps to take back Regina together in the later stage and implement the role of her swallow to the end.

Then there is the famous line - Rokuka, who has suppressed herself for more than 40 episodes, finally said in a bitter smile: "Compared with the people you like exclusively, let yourself like the people you like and like the people you like, like this circle is getting bigger and bigger, isn't it also good?" ”

Paper Science: The Decline of "Pride" and the Rise of "Bad Dogs"
Paper Science: The Decline of "Pride" and the Rise of "Bad Dogs"

Such an encounter, compared with Liuhua's personal song "Diamonds Will Not Hurt", highlights Liuhua's pain

From the perspective of the communication background, at the end of "Heartbeat" in 2014, Liuhua's "Isn't it also good" expression has not yet been widely circulated in the Chinese circle, and it is really widely known in 2016. In February 2016, the anime section of the S1 forum appeared "[Sick Dong] Sadistic Lily God's work "ドキドキ!" appeared in the anime section of the S1 forum. プリキュア "Heartbeat Qwa" This Amway building quickly climbed to the 2,000th floor in less than a month and a half - this discussion is even hotter than "Blessings for a Better World!" all other than January.

It is worth mentioning that The "stomach-wrenching plot ("White Album 3") emphasized by Amway Lou is very attractive", which just undertakes the needs of the white learning stem and script in the white-hot "White Album 2" at that time, and obtains enough attention and curiosity from passers-by, and then many passers-by become inseparable because of the above content (as for why Baixue was broadcast in 2013 and spread widely in 2016, it is related to the NGA forum and the ship's version of the main Q group and S1, not to mention the table).

The result of widespread dissemination is that at the end of 2016, Baidu's MengZhan Bar even appeared in the "Isn't it good" smile selection, which also became the beginning of the future screenshot of the dog's smile.

Defeat the dog ball

<h3>Juvenile taming, arrogance and defeated dogs</h3>

Back to the opening chapter of the Golden Retriever Spokesperson Ying Pear Pear.

Similar to the aforementioned "Heartbeat" and "White Album 2", when the light novel "Passerby Heroine" that began in 2012 was animated in 2015, the audience was still only discussing and distressing the defeated dog on a small scale, and its expression had not yet formed a trend, and the real popularity of the defeated dog expression and the real beginning of the fancy P chart were after the broadcast of the second season of "Passerby Heroine" in 2017 - YingLili's shocked and stunned expression became the classic Meme, and like Liuhua's smile, he joined S1's mahjong face expression brigade.

There is already a combination of the two big labels of "proud petite" and "juvenile taming" in the human setting of Ying Pear Pear, but her most popular label is not these two, but the result of these two: the defeated dog. The attribute of the defeated dog was only used as a result label before the emergence of the role of YingLi Pear, and it has not yet become a cute attribute recognized by the mainstream in China. After it went through the animation of Ying Pear's hard performance and screenshots and P-pictures of the masses, it became one of the most popular labels - but this does not mean that it is the most popular.

Paper Science: The Decline of "Pride" and the Rise of "Bad Dogs"

One of the labels...

The effects of juvenile domestication on defeated dogs are almost inevitable. We know that if you want to watch a fierce race, the level of several runners must be up and down, and there is no tension in unilaterally leading the way - that is, the green plum bamboo horse that wins at the starting line must be lower than the speed of the skyfall system on the emotional track in the first and middle periods. At the same time, for the audience, we can intuitively and completely appreciate the rapid skyfall, but it is difficult to fully feel the long-term green plum bamboo horse feelings that only capture a few fragments.

At this time, turning your head to look at the arrogance, the shortcomings of the young taming and the arrogance will be infinitely magnified: pride means not taking the initiative. In some cases, the seemingly awkward arrogance is actually the embodiment of female reserve, rather than the uncomfortable arrogance itself. An embarrassing fact is that the arrogant characters are no longer conspicuous in the attributes of today's flowers, and their emotional sugar is very stingy relative to their competitors. Coupled with the long-term aesthetic fatigue, itself has the influence of factors such as arrogance (such as casual tantrums, not speaking well), so that the cuteness of the arrogant is decreasing day by day, and the audience's tolerance for the role of the arrogant is getting lower and lower - some of them will even cause the audience to dislike, so that when it comes to seeing the failure of the arrogant, there is a sense of satisfaction that "she is self-sufficient". This belief that "she is self-sufficient" in line with expectations has effectively reduced people's empathy for arrogance, and as a result, the idea that "I just like to watch arrogance eat and be embarrassed" has gradually increased.

A small part of the people who like to spread the expression of the English Pear Rotten Dog are out of the revenge mentality of "this is what she deserves". The other part is combined with the next two smiles.

Paper Science: The Decline of "Pride" and the Rise of "Bad Dogs"
Paper Science: The Decline of "Pride" and the Rise of "Bad Dogs"

Just these two...

<h3>"Lack of morality" and "berry conscience"</h3>

At the beginning of 2018, the atmosphere of "lack of morality" was particularly strong, and it mainly revolved around the above two.

The "lack of morality" here refers specifically to the "embarrassing and humiliating scenes" in which the characters in works of art such as anime and games are repeatedly mentioned. The people who spread these pictures, of course, know that repeatedly embarrassing people is not in line with social morality, but they just can't stop intercepting the hand that makes the spread. These lack of moral screenshots or P-charts are too attractive, and even people who have not played games and have not seen animations have joined the ranks of dissemination.

Before delving deeper, it is necessary to popularize the experiences of the above two people so that people who have not yet been exposed to related works can understand.

The first experience comes from Blade of Alienity 2. As a character who joined the team in the early part of the game and assisted Lex all the way over, Nia gradually strengthened her belief, and finally told the secrets and emotions she had been suppressing in a critical moment. Then, lex replied, "I like Nia the most, too!" ...... And everyone! ”

Paper Science: The Decline of "Pride" and the Rise of "Bad Dogs"

“...... And everyone! ”

The second experience comes from the new "DARLING in the FRANXX". At the beginning of this animation, the heroine of the Heavenly Descent Department, Zero Two, took away the heart of the male protagonist 016 (Hiro), and another female character, 015 (Berry), although she and 016 Green Plum Bamboo Horse, but no matter how hard she tried, she could only suppress her emotions, commensurate with Hiro's brothers and sisters, but it was not well suppressed - a mental breakdown during Hiro's crisis. All her feelings are expressed through extremely rich and delicate expressions.

015, as a young tamed character, created the legend of the fastest defeated dog in early 2018

Turning our heads, we can finally try to answer a few questions like this:

Q: Why do these people like to spread the bad dog expression?

A: We got this answer from people who lacked the expression of morality:

"The secretary (referring to Liuhua) This expression is too easy to use" "Diamonds will not hurt" "This mahjong face (referring to The Ying Pear) although it is really lacking in virtue but I like it" "Nia's V gesture is too miserable hahaha" "I want to guard Nia's smile" "I don't particularly like to see the look of the Ying Pear crying, but I also admit that the look of the defeated dog crying is really pitiful" "The crying little strawberry is the most beautiful" "I am the 02 party, just like this crying face" "Although I like 15 smiles, this does not prevent 15 from crying beautifully" "The tears of the heartache berry, Guardian Berry's tears" "Berry's tears are their own tears, laughing on their mouths, crying in their hearts" "Don't you want to bully Little Strawberry?" Want to see her crying", "Mainly or the little strawberry crying is too cute to pinch" "I only care about the next episode of the little strawberry crying or not crying"...

yes. In addition to being purely pragmatic, these people like the character's failed emoticons or scenes. These scenes or expressions, whether laughing or crying, will look more "miserable" under the superposition of the background of the defeated dog. This kind of "misery" is cute in their eyes when it is carried by the beautiful girl of the paper people, and it gives them a different sense of pleasure.

We don't need to be ashamed of this pleasure, because it's a natural instinct: that's how our feedback mechanism for cuteness works.

Today's mainstream view of cuteness comes from Conrad Lorentz. In the 1940s, Lorenz coined the term "Kindchenschema" (baby schema) to describe a set of baby traits that we consider "cute." The researchers found that this trait includes not only vision (big eyes, fat face, etc.), but also hearing (such as baby crying), smell, etc. This cute stimulus is often associated with juvenile, helplessness—and can even be generalized to non-infants, from teenage girls to inanimate little things.

Examples of such generalizations or overreactions abound in nature: a goose, when faced with a volleyball and an egg, will even drag the volleyball back to hatch first because it is larger and rounder and looks like a better egg.

Paper Science: The Decline of "Pride" and the Rise of "Bad Dogs"

The right side is obviously not very cute

We can see that the face of the berry (especially the bun face that becomes the material) tends to be close to the left side of the baby, and the helpless appearance coupled with crying is no different from the baby's behavior of attracting the selective attention and willingness of others to take care of others, which naturally triggers our reaction to cuteness.

Then there's the point: cute people not only get cared for by others, but they also trigger aggressive behavior. Research at Yale University showed that after giving subjects cute pictures of babies, their aggressive levels increased — at least to the extent of pinching the baby's face. At the same time, people who watch cute little animals will also pinch more plastic foam packaging (to release aggression) than people who watch old animals – people will almost always have a destructive desire for cute things.

Researchers speculate that responding to cuteness with aggression is the result of a strong emotional distortion. Failure to satisfy the intense desire for the object of concern (we can't actually take care of a bad dog like strawberries) leads to a hidden frustration that prompts a violation reaction. On the other hand, both aggressive behaviors and caring behaviors are connected to neural networks that regulate social behavior. The baby schema is directly connected to the reward area, which is activated when the human approaches something cute, releasing a large amount of dopamine to affect the brain—it not only stimulates our act of caring for cute things, but also cross-wiring to aggressive behavior.

In simple terms, from the evolutionary point of view, things that are too cute will cause emotional agitation, which consumes a lot of energy, and the brain will activate negative emotions and behaviors at the same time to immediately curb this emotion and prevent excessive energy consumption, just as people will use hysterical laughter to curb painful emotions when they are very sad.

In terms of negative feedback, the act of ridiculing a defeated dog is nearly 100% harmless: it is separated by a screen, it does not happen to anyone who actually exists, and even virtual people are mostly only emotionally frustrated – which of course greatly reduces the feeling of guilt. At the same time, "the more tragedies are repeated, the more comedies." Even in the real bloody disaster, some people will joke about it, this kind of joke is often dismissed as immoral at the beginning, but after a few months, the mood of the relevant personnel has become more and more calm, the sensitivity to offense has also decreased a lot, and the person who initially reprimanded others for being tasteless may even be slightly uneasy but happy to join the ranks of spreading this immoral joke.

Tragedies that occur in works of art are naturally less offensive – in the case of the canonical animation "The Theater of the Eternals You Expect Forever", the creators even use the tragedy of the car accident in the main part as a comedy meme. That is to say, in the process of spreading the bad dog diagram, the relevant personnel only have the pleasure of betrayal, and do not need to be punished from the outside and the heart.

Q: Just because you like to spread the bad dog expression doesn't mean you like the bad dog, does it?

A: Yes. We can see from the answers above that there are a lot of people who like 02 but still like to bully Little Strawberry. This is not a conflict. From feeling the cuteness of a beautiful girl who is a piece of paper to really falling in love with that piece of paper person, there is a distance. Of course, there are other parts of the communicators who just follow the trend, they just follow the crowd, trying to integrate into the popular discourse group.

Q: Do people who like to defeat dogs like the attributes of the dogs, or do they like the dogs themselves?

A: Both exist.

Even if you have not seen the relevant works, people who spread the expression of the lost dog often belong to the former, only because this expression is "too miserable and too painful to hehehehehe".

For people who prefer the lost dog itself, it is possible that the lost dog is only an unimportant additional attribute. Liking the A-Dog doesn't mean liking the B-Dog. At the same time, too much liking for a certain defeated dog may inspire great empathy and resist the lack of virtue P chart.

The above two may also be compatible, that is, the defeated dog diagram that resists A because it likes A, but the defeated dog diagram that likes to spread B.

There is also a special type: the more you like a certain defeated dog, the more you like to make and spread her humiliating scenes, the so-called "twisted kitchen". The motivation is probably to spread the word, so that more people can experience the cuteness of a particular bad dog, so as to obtain their own sense of pleasure. This kind of liking is not necessarily lower than the degree of liking in Article 2, but the points of need that are eager to meet are different, and the way of liking is different.

Q: How does the lack of virtue in the group arise?

A: From resonance to congregation. The implicit expression of pleasure and mutual recognition becomes a positive feedback, generating a motivation for further dissemination, and hiding identity and sharing responsibilities in the group, thereby eliminating the guilt pressure of lack of morality.

Q: It seems that the reason for liking to spread the expression of the lost dog (that is, being happy with the lack of virtue of cute girls) is not consistent with the reason for liking the bad dog. So why do so many people like to lose dogs? Or rather, what's so good about the bad dogs?

A: There are many answers to this question.

We know that the defeated dog is necessarily the result of a fight, and there is no progress without competition. In the script that can open the harem without trouble or very tired, the party struggle is not very fierce, and it is difficult to highlight the characteristics of the heroines. In the fierce competition script, in order to make the drama enjoyable, it is natural to try to portray all the love contestants - in this case, the personality of the defeated dog is often more distinct (the so-called defeated dogs have their own defeat methods), and this personality is also perfectly expressed through delicate portrayal (the delicate expression performance of the berry can even be watched frame by frame).

Indulging in ignorant love, even though you know that you are at a disadvantage, even if you know that this is likely to be fruitless, but you can't put it down contradictoryly, in this dynamic tangled mood, and because the other party is moved by a little thing, and wants to work hard to fight. This kind of humility, helplessness and contradiction will indeed make the audience who have also experienced youthful feelings feel very deeply.

At the same time, it is also a doomed tragic beauty. We look at Yingli Pear and we know that she has abandoned her proud and confident side for her goals, panicked, and resolutely and stupidly gambled everything she cares about to complete her communication. The harder she tried, the farther she became from the goal of "staying by Lun's side". The combination of "hard work stupid" is also one of the keys to inducing the cute mechanism, the more you try in the early stage, the more painful the crying face in the later stage, the emotional arousal ability is one of the best - such a superimposed result, it is almost natural to like her.

For some people, the heartache of seeing the bad dog cry is exactly where the pleasure lies, this is the twisted pleasure. "Isn't the girl who leaves real tears charming"? This is the dual feedback of empathy and cute response, and if you add the fantasy of giving happiness to the other person in your brain, while satisfying pity, compassion, and feeling of need (without having to pay a real price), it is a collection of more feedback. These kinds of feedback appear many times at the same time, and may even form a skilled classical conditioning reflex in the minds of some people.

The Audience mentioned at the beginning of this article is a junior high school student who is eager to change herself, so the reason why the "Bad Dog" can rise has a lot to do with its audience. It is undeniable that the group that likes the subculture of ACG has always been a minority, more or less opposed to the so-called current charge, the vast majority of people in the world. Worldly success does not recognize people who are only addicted to ACG, and naturally they will be labeled as bad dogs. This may not be directly stated by a specific person, but the group itself can feel out of place with the world.

From this point of view, even audiences who have not experienced youthful feelings are prone to resonate with defeated dogs who are frustrated in the same feelings but are not willing to be at the mercy of fate.

Of course, it should be pointed out that even if you lose in the love fight in the plot, the defeated dog is not necessarily inferior in other places. Defeated dogs like Ying Pear pear and Ya Mei, if judged by the evaluation standards of the outside world, are actually unattainable cloud princesses - their personal abilities and status are not on the same level as the protagonist. That is to say, from an objective point of view, rather than saying that they are defeated dogs, they are more inclined to their own independent strong female characters - only in the script, the characters and audiences will "be favored by the male protagonist" as the only criterion for judging victory. Jumping out of the script, is it not a freedom to be free from the victory or defeat of love?

As for the more personal reasons for liking the lost dog, such as watching the beautiful girl eat with a trembling heart, or the person who likes it in reality can't get it, and the person who sees the bad dog can't get it, so it's very happy, and so on, there are more wonderful scripts in reality. Readers are welcome to add.
