Question from a reader:
Why is it that former female announcers from Fuji TV are criticized even when they haven’t done anything wrong? Is it simply due to stress relief or a tendency for people to complain?
Reflecting on the Criticism of Former Fuji TV Announcers
Recently, I saw news about a former female announcer from Fuji TV being criticized despite
not having done anything wrong. I couldn’t help but voice my thoughts while discussing it with friends. At first, I thought it might be because of people who fancy themselves as “justice warriors.” There are certainly those who enjoy complaining and criticizing about everything. However, upon further reflection, I realized that there might be deeper reasons behind this behavior. For instance, I sometimes find that criticizing someone can lift my mood when I’m feeling stressed. When I’m watching TV with friends and enjoying snacks, we might joke around saying things like, “That person is a bit strange, right?” But sometimes, such jokes can go too far and end up hurting someone.
Between Empathy and Rejection
The rise of social media may also play a role in this phenomenon. In an era where anyone can easily express their opinions, even small matters can quickly lead to outrage. I occasionally share cute moments of my child on Instagram, but sometimes I receive comments like, “Is that really okay?” Honestly, those moments can make me feel uneasy. Recently, when I took my child to the park and spoke with other dads, I noticed that many of them share similar concerns. Engaging in light-hearted conversations while listening to each other’s opinions can be quite uplifting.
We’d Love to Hear Your Thoughts!
The reasons behind why people criticize or bash others are quite complex. I can relate to such situations, as I’ve faced them myself. What do you think? If you have any memories or experiences regarding this kind of criticism, please share them in the comments. I hope that by exchanging our opinions, we can deepen our understanding of the issue.
