"Let me give you a simple example. Mobis said to He Chen methodically, his deep eyes flashing with wisdom, "In most culturally open societies, if a girl likes racing, it will be considered a 'cool' thing." If you say that 'women shouldn't like racing, racing is a man's sport', that's undoubtedly a 'political incorrect' thing, and even AFP doesn't dare to say that. Conversely, if a boy likes pony's pink stuffed animals, he is considered freak, sissy, and no one is responsible, and some conservative districts even consider it 'politically correct'. ”

He Chen thought for a while and retorted to Mobius: "This statement does not apply to Huaxia, in Huaxia girls like racing, it is a kind of apostasy, and it is generally regarded as a non-mainstream - this sentence is not a good name." ”

Mobius's deep and wise eyes suddenly looked at He Chen as if he were looking at a class enemy: "It is precisely because of this that Hermes cannot develop in China!

He Chen shrugged his shoulders and motioned to Mobius for him to continue. And in his heart, he thought that it was originally a work created by Westerners that conformed to the Western mode of thinking, so it was no wonder that he was not accustomed to the water and soil in China. To be honest, he should be glad that he is not adapted, and if he does, he will be surrounded by such fanatical "Hermes...... He Chen shuddered when he thought about it.

"The unfounded accusations against Hermès in AFP's report – homosexuality, sissy and pedophilia – actually represent conservative stereotypes about 'gender roles,' which are common in some parts of Europe and the United States. And other relatively neutral media outlets, such as CNN, Huffington Post, etc. When reporting on the Hermes phenomenon. The most frequently mentioned words are 'gender roles' and 'masculinity'. ”

"Wait. When I was a magical girl before, I didn't see this kind of statement?" He Chen was puzzled by this.

At that time, this trend was just emerging, and it had not yet attracted wide attention, so naturally there was no such statement, but it was just a timely meeting to push this issue to the forefront. Mobis explained He Chen's question, and then continued, "There is a misconception that Hermes is a reversal of 'gender roles'. Not exactly, the dualism that opposes traditional male gender roles does not equal femininity is a very dangerous view. Moreover, in psychological terms, the fact that Hermès simply do not identify with personality roles does not mean that they are completely detached from traditional male roles - surveys show that Hermès and non-Hermès scores are almost identical, and that PAS was originally designed to test the rigidity of standard male or female roles. ”

"From my point of view, I don't like to be expected to live according to the norms of what society defines as a man, and I like the beauty of technology and industry. At the same time, he also likes cute things, adventure and excitement, and he also likes tranquility. This should not really be seen as a 'gender' issue. It's just a matter of character. ”

For Mobius's point of view, He Chen deeply agreed.

However, Mobius's words are not finished: "At the same time, it is also a rebellion against the cynicism that is now prevalent on the Internet. Wired and The Guardian describe the Hermès phenomenon as an interesting notion that Hermès culture is part of the 'sincerity movement' of the modern internet. ”

The term "New Sincerity Movement" first appeared in the mid-80s to counter the irony and cynicism of postmodernism at the time, and was expressed in music, literature, film and television. Like post-postmodernism, the two have similar concepts and do not yet have a precise definition due to their relatively short appearance and confusing use. ”

The gist of the term is to challenge postmodern irony, especially post-Vietnam and Cold War ideology, with positive beliefs, sincerity, and trust. Although the term first appeared in the field of music, musicians under this banner did not achieve commercial success at the time, and really began to appear on the Internet and in the mainstream media, which is what only began in this century. In the same way that the term 'geek/nerd' has gone from a stereotype often ridiculed in popular culture to a cool concept, sincerity is something we should put back on the agenda at ethics conferences, rather than deriding it as 'childish'. ”

"In the age of the internet, with the help of anonymity, it's easy for people to hide behind screens to taunt, sarcastic, and abuse others, and it seems that everyone has become cynical. If it's on Weibo, you should be able to realize that sincere discussions are often a very extravagant thing, and everyone is used to putting hats on each other and prickly ...... in their words."

Ling Yan couldn't help but nod his head at Mobius's words, which is a common phenomenon in the Internet age. This is true all over the world.

"But that's not the case with Hermès, at least not for the majority. Mobius shifts the conversation back to all the virtues mentioned in Hermès—friendliness, optimism, generosity, integrity, loyalty, and friendship—that should be something that everyone should have, not just a child. But on the Internet, we will find it difficult to express such positive qualities normally, and if you emphasize these qualities, then there will only be two reactions: one, don't feed the chicken soup for the soul, and two, be realistic, kid. This is very strange and not at all normal atmosphere of discussion. Of course, chicken soup for the soul that is detached from facts is not good chicken soup, that is another question. ”

"So, in fact, most Hermès don't label themselves as 'new sincerity' or 'post-postmodernism', but just face the world with optimism, and with some idealism. Hermes like me, who has been an adult and graduated for many years, doesn't need to get any education from such an animation like a child, but just inadvertently discovers a new world that conforms to his own worldview!"

Mobius's eyes shone with a frenzy!

That's when believers see God's light!

Every artist is an idealist, and Mobius is even more so.

Speaking of idealists, Mobis also mentioned Lelouch in "Lelouch of the Rebellion", which He Chen just ended, isn't that what Lelouch is?

So, Lelouch is also a Hermes?

He Chen could no longer look directly at the Demon King Lu Luxiu.

"In the analysis of the five personality traits of Hermes and non-Hermes, there is no obvious difference between conscientiousness and openness of experience, Hermès is significantly higher than non-Hermès in affinity, and at the same time, the emotional instability and extraversion of non-Hermès are significantly higher than Hermès. ”

Broadly speaking, affinity refers to being friendly, compassionate, in harmony with others, and being more optimistic, emotional, unstable, and experiential, which refers to the tendency to experience negative emotions, such as anger and anxiety, and extraversion, which refers to being extroverted, energetic, and looking for excitement. In addition to the five personality traits, Hermès is also more focused than non-Hermès, meaning that they are more likely to immerse themselves in music, movies and even nature. This character, in Hermès's parlance, is love and tolerance, and in a more Zen way, inner-peace. ”

He Chen looked at the gushing Mobius, was silent for a moment, and said: "I think I should recognize the wrong person, the Mobius I know is a comic artist, not a scientist, philosopher, psychologist, sociologist......"

"Comics are an art, a philosophy, a depiction of psychology, a reflection of sociology!" Morbius was impassioned.

What he said was so good that He Chen was speechless.

However, these are just my research, and it is difficult to confirm whether it can represent the mainstream Hermès, but we can get evidence from the personality analysis that this work, and the Hermès community formed, initially unintentionally catered to most of the Hermès personality traits, and then through its affinity, openness and focus, it attracted more people with similar personalities to gather here, which led to such a diverse Internet subculture. ”

"Having said so much, in fact, it is also a good animation that can be clearly said in one sentence. Good animation is good animation, and the rise of group-oriented and theme-agnostic caters to the dissatisfaction and real resistance of contemporary teenagers to social phenomena - resisting with love and tolerance, and also catering to the character traits of these optimists and idealists, and the open community atmosphere integrates a large number of contemporary subcultural groups. ”

Wait, it's not one sentence, it's three sentences. He Chen corrected.

Mobis smiled heartily, and once again made He Chen speechless with a Tianlong slogan: "If you are serious, you will lose!"

"I don't think what you're talking about is the same race as me, I don't think I can understand it at all, I think I have to go back and have a good look

Mobis hooked He Chen's shoulders and walked to the stage built by the convention and exhibition center.

"Chinese people are modest, excessive modesty is hypocritical, an important virtue of Hermes is sincerity!" Morbis stood on the stage, straightened He Chen's body, and let He Chen face the group of fanatical believers.

"Come on, chant along with us

The believers raised their arms and shouted, if this was a cult gathering, I am afraid that no one would doubt it.

"We're all Hermes tonight!"

He Chen suddenly felt that it seemed to be more dangerous abroad than at home. (To be continued......) R1292
