Why aren’t we on fire like that yet?” Just as he said that
On September 21, a comment made by the comedy duo “New York” on their official YouTube “New York’s New Radio” was misinterpreted as occupational discrimination and has been under fire on social networking sites. The reason for this was that the topic of “Chocolate Planet,” a comedy duo, which had been forced to apologize for saying that “amateurs should not use social networking services,” and had shaved their heads. Hiromasa Yashiki (39) said, “If we’re going to get burned by something like that on the radio, why haven’t we been burned yet? Kazuya Shimasa (39) said, “If we get burned like that, we won’t be able to do radio anymore. If that radio is burned up like that, we won’t be able to do radio anymore,” agreed Kazuya Shimasa (39). Yashiki mentioned what Atsusuke Minowa, an editor at Gentosha, had said as a reason why the world has become more prone to flames: “Nowadays, for example, people work in factories making screws without knowing what the point of it all is. He said, “Nowadays, for example, when you make a screw in a factory, most people work without knowing what it means. So many people are working without being able to imagine that they are happy when something they produced reaches the consumer. So, they tend to make a great guess and get very happy when they see that person’s success. On the other hand, when that person’s sales drop due to a scandal or something, they are very sad or even depressed to the extent that they themselves are. On the other hand, there are many people who gain a sense of living by seeing other people’s lives fall, so the number of people who can’t stand to see a successful person fall a little because of a fire or a scandal is increasing. This comment was made by Yashiki, who quoted Minowa’s comment and said, “There is also this kind of opinion. The video received only 67,000 views in spite of the flames. However, it was taken on the Internet as if Yashiki said “people who make screws are causing the flames,” and comments on SNS and the video included “My friend works at a screw factory. Many people on social networking sites and in the comments section of the video criticized the video, saying, “My friend works at a screw factory, please don’t discriminate against my occupation. The most violent were X and the bulletin board “5channel”. According to one IT journalist, “For example, a post on X that has received over 3 million impressions is made to look like it takes you to a YouTube video of New York City in question, but when you click on it, somehow it takes you to its own news site. When you read the article, Minowa’s name is not mentioned, and it is written as if Mr. Yashiki is speaking as his own opinion. This must have been spread rapidly through reposts, leading to the current uproar,” he analyzes. Strangely enough, the YouTube video in question has been viewed only 67,000 times (as of September 25), despite the flames of Yashiki’s comments on SNS. This is low even in terms of their usual number of views. For example, when Seiji Chihara (55) went up in flames in July for his “bullied child” comment about Yusuke Kawai (44), a Toda City Council member in Saitama Prefecture, his video received 1.4 million views in about 10 days. Considering this, it is hard to believe that this is the number of views for a video that is on fire. It probably means that people who saw X’s post, from which the remark was clipped, commented and spread the word without watching the New York video for the most part. Recently, Yoshimoto comedians such as Seiji Chihara and Chocolate Planet have been causing controversy on the Internet. There are probably a certain number of netizens who are following the trend and thinking, “If it’s Yoshimoto, I can beat them up. However, if the story is cut out, spread, and inflamed in this way, the production company does not know what to do about it. In the video, Yoshimoto said, “I don’t know when it will burst into flames, so I have to think about my second life,” but ironically, he must not have expected to be clipped in this way and burst into flames. –.
