Chapter 72 Times have changed
"Any literary and artistic work reflects the life of the times.
"Curba Castle" is a game with villains as the protagonist, which shows that authority is disintegrating in Japan.
In traditional literary works, the protagonists are always healthy and uplifting. Such characters were very popular in the past, but why are they not popular now?
Because in today's society, people generally feel pressure.
This pressure makes them suddenly feel as if they are having difficulty breathing.
They feel bored with the work they work hard every day but nothing can change.
In such a situation, people no longer believe in heroes, but want to be a villain to fight the whole world.
The game "Kuba Castle" is such a game.
Players play Kuba, who always takes away the princess, play him as he builds a castle, and even finds ways to make the residents of the castle live a more comfortable life. However, such a villain who may not be considered a villain will still be sanctioned by Mario.
What does this mean?
This shows that in the hearts of the public, the existence of authority has become a clown.
Those who are propagated by public opinion seem to be evil deeds, and they seem to be kind people who improve their lives.
And authority is just a liar who destroys their better lives under the banner of "correctness".
This shows that Japan is very bad, and does Japan mean that Japan is ugly?
No, no.
The author investigated foreign electronic games and found that a British game producer also made a similar game, even appearing earlier than "Curba Castle".
The name of this game is "Dungeon Guardian".
In this game, the player plays the role of the Demon King.
The enemy is the brave.
In this work, the brave man is almost like a clown.
They talk about justice, but in fact they are all business in their hearts.
It is said that it is to eliminate harm for the villagers, but in fact, what they are interested in is not the bounty in the village or the treasures accumulated by the legendary demons.
Compared to the demon kings who work hard to build dungeons, they are just simple destroyers.
He even vaguely pointed out that the Demon King actually did not want to do anything to the villagers.
The reason why the villagers think that the devil does to them is entirely because the brave men say so.
In other words, if the brave do not exist, the world will become better.
The author believes that this is a kind of childish thought that is separated from the post-war period.
Throughout human history, humans have been in war most of the time. Compared with short peace, war is the norm.
The powerful mobilization capabilities required by war tie people together.
At this time, people need a sound, and only one sound is needed.
In such a situation, every side of the war will promote himself as justice and will say that he is a brave man.
However, from the end of World War II to today, many countries around the world have been peaceful for too long.
This kind of peace is of course happy, but it also represents the collapse of authority.
People seem to have forgotten what bad things the Demon King has done, and they seem to think that the Demon King is not bad, the Demon King is also a good person, and the Demon King also has pain in his heart.
I think we should be wary of such thoughts.
Especially electronic games, a form of literary and artistic where children are exposed to a lot.
Nintendo, what exactly do you want to do to your kids?”
Although Japan is a modern and developed capitalist country, it has a large number of feudal remnants.
The so-called Japanese parliamentarians are democratic elections, but the actual situation is that the elected people are either the leaders of dynamic social organizations or the children of local political families.
Even most of the time, the two overlap very well.
The reason for this is that it is because they occupy a large amount of resources or because they control public opinion.
So when some lawmakers pointed out this issue, an article titled "Questioning Nintendo" appeared in the news media.
Nintendo is worthy of being a century-old small workshop, and it remains unchanged as such a public relations crisis.
However, they did not make any active response.
They just passively accept it, and even have an attitude that you say yes, that's it.
This attitude is actually very useful, and silence is the best counterattack.
The feeling of your steel fist hitting cotton will make the attacking party feel boring and choose to give up.
Unlike Nintendo's calmness, the newcomer, Takuno, who is the producer of this game, is so panicked.
For people, people seem to feel that what they are experiencing is the biggest thing.
Of course, when you look back on these things in the future, you will actually feel that they are not much.
The older people seem to be more indifferent, not because they are really indifferent, but because they are used to it.
A new person like Takuno, who has experienced such a public opinion crisis for the first time, was really panicked.
He was not born in a very powerful family. If so, he would not have been able to go to Tokyo University of Technology, but to Tokyo University.
As the core of Japan's imperial power, the University of Tokyo was still a gathering place for Japan's power in this era.
As a small person, he naturally has the small emotions of a small person.
He went to work all day in panic, and even when he got off work every day, he wondered if he was going to be stoned.
Unfortunately, his imagination did not become a reality.
Not to mention that someone smashed him, even the reporters didn't look for him.
Sometimes the world is so strange. Although it is very noisy outside, and although she is the producer of "Curba Castle", everything seems to have nothing to do with him.
In fact, he didn't think so much about the game he made.
What is social, what is anti-authority, this, that, this.
He just likes to play foreign games, but just wants to submit a game idea that is different from his peers.
This is actually just an unconscious behavior, and he didn't even think about what the game represents.
Even when he saw that article, he thought what was said above really makes sense, but why didn’t he think of it?
Although Takahashi is in China, he is indeed very clear about Japan's dynamics.
When he saw the storm caused by "Curba Castle", he did not show any unexpected expressions, but thought about why this is done? There must be a reason for doing this.
Japan is not a normal country. Does this abnormal country want to seek some political benefits through this public opinion?
Takahashi couldn't help but become a little alert.
