Yesterday, the “Beautiful Girl of Light” series appeared in the history of the first “light beauty boy” in 15 years: Cure Infini
……I’m sorry to post the wrong picture, this is Takami Sawahiko. It should be the following one
The “Beautiful Girl of Light” series has been dedicated to conveying the values of freedom and openness since its launch, and its latest work “Hug! The beautiful girl of light has repeatedly sparked heated discussion among the audience. The appearance of “Male Q Baby” is not only the embodiment of this style, but also reasonable in the plot, it is moving
Children’s animation is a window for the younger audience to know the world and bears an important mission. It is not just the series of “Beautiful Girl of Light”. In this era of advocating multi-inclusiveness, creation will of course reflect new trends of thought
Just two days before Cure Infini, light novelist and game scripter SOW once praised Twitter for another respect for gender neutrality in the TV anime “Shinkansen Deformation Robot Xinkarion.”
SOW said that “Sinka Lyon” is actively adopting new elements while practicing the king of robot animation. Among them, the setting of “the hero’s body is green” is a point that cannot be underestimated
Although there are some robotic themes before, the protagonist is set to green. “Xincarion” also designed a green protagonist based on the reality of the existing vehicle; but SOW believes that “Sinka Lyon’s choice of real-life green vehicles for prototypes and the design of such a design is very remarkable. After all, for many years, the main protagonists of robot animation are red, blue and white
Not only that, “Xincarion” also let the protagonist and the yellow doctor Huang fit together to become the strongest protagonist. SOW feels that this courage to change the existing theory and the overall intention of this work
The color of the protagonist seems to be very trivial, but SOW thinks this setting is significant. Especially in the works for children, there is a so-called “sweet pink”, which means that the manufacturer feels that “anyway, girls must like pink”, and there is no way to set female characters or women to pink. It also refers to other stereotypes of gender perspectives. SOW believes that there should be a lot of people who have been hurt by the unilateral judgment of the “boy is this color” and “the girl is the color”. And he is one of them
Of course, even if manufacturers understand the importance of diversity, there will be a certain level of standards and paradigms because of limited resources. However, SOW believes that it is not possible to think that the choices outside the paradigm are “abnormal”, “weird” and “wrong”. People should have the freedom to choose something different
And in “Xincarion”, although there are all kinds of robots, there is a female character who pronounces the future and drives the same-body nickname of the protagonist. Therefore, the green color of the Xinkarion nickname is neither “the color of the boy” nor “the color of the girl”, just the color of the nickname
Last year, Fuji TV “フルタチさん” program “Children’s Care” has once turned a girl who wants “Kamen Rider” into a belt Be a joke. After the show was aired, it was criticized on the Internet
Compared with that program, the design of “Sinkaleon” can make SOW feel the attitude of the producer: whether you are a boy or a girl, as long as you like Xinkarion, feel handsome and handsome. Its color is your color

Creative works are not worthy of criticism from conservatives and actively follow the times. What is worrying, however, is that some people who claim to be liberals, like those they should oppose, try to impose their own values on all works, but infringe on the freedom and diversity of the creation
The famous masterpieces that have been circulating for centuries are still being shackled by some readers, and the entertainment works written by contemporary people do not know why they will be in trouble for any reason. The publishing house is afraid of being complained, and does not dare to step beyond the threshold. It can only carry out “self-regulation” on the works, which makes the writers also clenched their hands
The light novelist Dao Tingyu said that an editor once told him: “The plan of the criminal character’s criminal behavior is not passed. If it is a different world, the modern background is more risky.”
稻庭 heard the words, angered and burned, and broke out in the opposite direction: “Is it possible that the human rights of the world can be trampled casually…!!!”.

In the end of last year, Dao Ting published a novel “ハード・アンロッカー” on the Internet, which is about the crimes committed by young girls who have nowhere to live in society. Perhaps this work was not passed because of the above reasons, only to be published in the form of online novels
Female novelist Mito Izumi said that some people advocate that “even if you follow ‘political correctness, you should be able to create a wonderful story.” The boundaries between these people and others are blurred and she is afraid. “Only a story that doesn’t make me feel uncomfortable and makes me feel wonderful is correct.” It is a very dangerous idea. She wants to give these people a slogan that has been circulated since ancient times in the corrupt women’s world. What you have in your own life may make others lose interest; the reverse is the same

Kawasaki Haruki’s editor, Nakazumi Ichiro, said that no matter whether it is a novelist, a cartoonist or a film director, let them write as they please, more mixed with backward things and advanced things, and ultimately promote the times in the results. Advance. If they are asked to write this only because they can “sell” or “this is correct,” then the scope of creation will inevitably be narrowed
But it’s another question to say whether the creators can write whatever they want. So the editor, or the perspective of a third party as the “first reader,” is very important
