Questions from Readers
One reader asked why Hanjo-san is facing backlash while Foi-san is not. Foi-san has talked about working at a notoriously overpriced establishment, where he was instructed by his superiors to “hit the customers” in case of any disputes. I heard that this place eventually closed due to various issues, which is surprising in today’s world. Despite Foi-san
admitting that the establishment was indeed overpriced, it’s curious that he is not facing any backlash while only Hanjo-san is under fire. I don’t know much about Hanjo-san, so I neither particularly like nor dislike him. However, observing this situation makes me feel that sometimes, depending on the way one handles things, they can get away with certain actions. Considering Foi-san’s past, it seems he has more issues, so why isn’t he facing backlash?
The Underlying Causes of Backlash
Recently, many people seem to question why Hanjo-san is facing backlash while Foi-san remains relatively unscathed. I am one of those people and decided to analyze this phenomenon from a legal perspective. First, a significant cause of Hanjo-san’s backlash stems from his past actions being exposed by third parties. Specifically, his connections with anti-social elements have severely undermined his credibility. On the other hand, Foi-san’s situation is different because he openly discusses his past experiences. While the environment of the establishment he worked at and the episodes involving customer disputes may shock those who know his history, the self-disclosure in his narrative likely reduces the risk of backlash.
The Power of Evidence and Narration
The background of backlash is heavily influenced by “evidence.” In Hanjo-san’s case, there were concrete pieces of evidence, like photos and testimonies, making his claims easy to refute and leading to backlash. Conversely, Foi-san narrates his past in a way that aligns with his character and style, making it more acceptable. People resonate with his storytelling and feel a sense of reality in it. I, too, have shared past failures with friends during my student days. Once, at a gathering in a university club, I recounted a major blunder I made. Everyone was surprised and laughed because I usually appeared serious. That moment made me re-recognize the power of self-disclosure. Instead of hiding failures, sharing them can foster a sense of closeness.
Conclusion and Reflection
In this way, whether someone faces backlash or not depends not only on past actions but also on how they narrate those actions and the surrounding responses. Like Foi-san, openly discussing one’s past can sometimes help avoid backlash. In contrast, when hidden truths come to light, as in Hanjo-san’s case, the consequences can be significant. We should also remember that how we handle our past and failures can change our relationships with those around us. How do you narrate your past episodes, readers? I would love to hear your experiences and thoughts in the comments. I look forward to your insights!
