Bamboo Doesn’t Fall | Some media are too good at “discovering” things.

I was squatting in the toilet, casually browsing the trending topics. Unexpectedly, the content I saw next was surprisingly relevant to the scene. Even, a bit dirtier.

Besides the screen full of entertainment news and Zhang Xuefeng’s topics, two other abrupt pieces of content were hard to ignore. One was titled, “American Man Rapes 61-Year-Old Woman in Nursing Home, Caught on Camera,” and the other was “More and More Japanese Women Cross-Border Prostitution to Support Host Clubs”…

One is responsible for stimulation, the other for sensationalism, and the combination is quite professional.

How should I put it, it’s not easy to find these two pieces of content in the huge information flow abroad. The first one is better, after all, the person has been charged with two felonies, and the US has reported it. The second one, that’s really a challenge… because it’s not a complete piece of news at all.

Are you curious why this media outlet seems so familiar?

That’s right, after the police station instructor’s sexual assault of a young girl in the office was exposed a few days ago, they specifically reviewed a large number of resumes and found out that the police officer had been stabbed by a drug addict, which delayed his wedding. It was also them.

So I say, some media outlets do have a pair of eyes that are good at discovering things. But these eyes are always looking for strange angles to exploit, and they are always exposing the underlying colors behind the eyes.

Today’s two trending topics are also contributed by this media outlet.

Isn’t it ironic? Even the police station instructor put his genitals in the mouth of a 15-year-old girl, and he did this kind of thing in the police station. Their angle can extend to “the glorious deeds of the police officer”, and their intention is obvious to all.

But in a country far away on the other side of the Pacific, a man invited to play at a nursing home was accused of raping a woman with Alzheimer’s, and they were enjoying it.

I can’t understand, whether it’s Europe or America, whether it’s Germany, Britain or the United States, these countries certainly have a large number of crimes, and it can even be said that no country doesn’t need prisons. The problem is, there are countless evils all over the world, are you really going to bring them back one by one to watch as a show?

Media reports on ugliness are never meant to create gossip, but to expose the problem and have it corrected.

However, they, in order to find those “ugly” content to prove the shape of their behinds, will stop at nothing. So the more methods, the more blurred the boundaries.

I mentioned above that the American incident is basically true, because the man has been charged with two felonies. But what about the Japanese one? More and more Japanese women are engaging in cross-border prostitution to support host clubs? Does this conform to common sense, has Japan become so poor?

To be honest, if a country’s “ordinary young women” are increasingly engaging in cross-border prostitution, then this country would have long since ceased to be what it is in the news.

What is the actual situation? They mixed multiple pieces of information together and used exaggerated techniques. This is a kind of reporting method nowadays, dismantling the truth and reassembling it into a more “attractive” story.

The sex industry in Japan is not famous today, no one doesn’t know this, right? So in Japan, there is indeed such a situation that some Japanese women are addicted to host clubs. This is the first situation.

Host clubs in Japan are in the open, the key is that some people, who are not rich, are induced to spend money, and finally, because they can’t pay back the money, they are controlled and exploited by intermediaries, and forced to enter the sex industry to earn money to pay off their debts. This is the second situation… Have you found this routine very familiar? That’s right, the essence is still the old trick of “debt + control” – if you can’t understand it, you can think of it as a variant of naked loans, which is completely consistent in logic and operation.

So the third situation is even simpler, among those Japanese women who are forced into the gray industry due to debt, some are taken abroad.

It can be understood simply like this, a person, takes out a loan to splurge, the more they spend, the more they owe, and they can’t pay it back, so they are forced to engage in the sex industry. Among them, a few are taken abroad to do it.

You can say that this is a kind of “illegal crime phenomenon” in Japan, but you can’t say that this is the increasingly common real life of Japanese people.

Individual cases stacked on top of each other, which should have been a warning, but unexpectedly, they were pieced together into a “trend”.

This is so damn magical.

I know, Japan is bad. That’s what the media wants to express. But Japan is at least a country, and the nature of the above incident is close to human trafficking, which is a crime.

As a result, the report actually describes it as a mature, stable, large-scale operating “cross-border prostitution industry chain”, with the main body being “Japanese ordinary young women”. Does this conform to the survival logic of a normal society and country? Turning extreme individual cases into a widespread situation, and even exaggerating it to “earn 10 million to 20 million yen in two months”, which is 450,000 to 900,000 yuan… Are you reporting or recruiting?

Alas, there’s nothing we can do, we do need to understand them, they have a pair of eyes that are good at discovering things, and they are making new sensational topics every day to get on the trending topics. But the content is ultimately limited. Moreover, no matter how good the eyes are at discovering things, they will eventually get tired, so they have to add some new skills.
