Question from a reader:
I’ve heard that Watanabe Nagisa-san is struggling with a lot of defamation and comments. Should she really consider leaving the entertainment industry and finding a regular job? I think it’s not good for her to experience similar suffering again after going through such a difficult time. What should she do?
Considering Watanabe Nagisa-san’s Current Situation
The defamation
issue that Watanabe Nagisa-san is facing feels incredibly complex and serious. Being in the entertainment industry inevitably attracts both praise and criticism. While working part-time at a judicial scrivener’s office, I decided to consider this issue from a legal perspective.
The Harsh Realities of the Entertainment Industry and Options
First, regarding the option of her finding a regular job, it’s not necessarily a straightforward solution. The experience gained in the entertainment industry can provide skills and connections that are hard to find in typical corporate environments. Certainly, the stress of ongoing defamation is immeasurable. However, if she continues to hold on to her dream of being a news anchor, giving that up might lead to even more pain. When I first started working at the judicial scrivener’s office, I remember being troubled by harsh words and opinions from clients. Initially, I focused on self-reflection, questioning “What did I do wrong?” But gradually, I started to shift my focus to “How can I utilize this feedback?” I hope Watanabe-san can adopt a similar perspective.
The Importance of Self-Defense
I understand the comment that “the police and fans can’t provide 24/7 protection.” It’s vital for her to take actions to protect herself. There have been tragic cases where individuals ignored police evacuation recommendations and faced dire consequences. Reflecting on such instances makes it clear that one must ultimately take responsibility for their own safety. There are times when I feel anxious, wondering “What if something happens?” Especially when there’s a strong sense of responsibility at work, the pressure can be overwhelming. Yet, I believe that valuing one’s own will, regardless of the situation, is what ultimately saves us.
In Conclusion
For someone like Watanabe-san, who is chasing her dreams, the reactions and defamations from those around her present significant challenges. However, how she chooses to overcome these obstacles is ultimately up to her. I hope we can all support and watch over her during this time. Now, how do you feel about this? If you were in a similar position, what would you do? Or how can you reach out to someone close to you who is struggling? I would love to hear your thoughts in the comments. I want to think through this together with you.
