Rant Show: I Angrily Criticized a Million Parents

Chapter 1: The "Teen Rant" Program

"Waaaaah, you never consider my feelings. You only ask me if I did well on the exam, and you never care if I'm tired from studying."

"What's wrong with me playing games for a while? I study five days a week and only play games two days a week."

"Haohao, Mom is doing this for your own good. If you don't study hard, you won't be able to find a job in the future."

“Games will only ruin you and make you lose your ambition. I'm doing this for your own good.”

On the stage, a boy had tears in his eyes.

Below the stage, a middle-aged woman held a microphone and frowned at him. There were many students and parents below.

"What's happening here?"

"Have I traveled through time?"

Zhou Yang glanced around.

There were thousands of students and parents gathered on the playground, and there were also many cameras and staff around.

Is this a program being filmed at a school?
next second.

A vast amount of memories flooded his mind.

It turns out that he had transmigrated, into the body of a 15-year-old boy, who was also a student at Jinghai Middle School.

The film crew entered the school because of the recent spate of students running away from home.

Society began to realize that students were under a lot of pressure, so Fruit TV launched this program called "Youth Rant".

Students vent their frustrations about their parents on the stage, while parents can refute them from below, allowing for an equal exchange between students and parents.

The entire program is streamed online, and for each episode, the production team selects the topic with the most comments from the live chat as the theme for the next episode.

Although the program's initial intention was good.

In reality, students naturally feel pressured when facing their parents. Many students either dare not go up to the podium or become afraid when their parents refute them.

The first episode turned into a criticism session between parents and students, and the parents in the live broadcast room pressed their advantage, demanding that this episode discuss banning games!

At this moment, a voice sounded.

"Ding! Host detected, God-level Reputation System successfully bound..."

"The newbie gift pack can only be obtained after your reputation points break through zero."

Zhou Yang was stunned.

He wasn't surprised that the system appeared.

But he was surprised that the system was so stingy!
Other people can get the newbie gift pack by binding it, but he has to wait. How annoying.

After studying it for a while, he discovered that the system allowed users to exchange items and participate in lotteries using reputation points.

But then I thought, wasn't this show prepared for him?

He wants to go on stage!

And they also have to complain about millions of parents!

Gain reputation points!
……

Meanwhile, the exchange on stage continued.

"Mom, I'm only 14 years old. If I don't relax now, I'll never have the chance to relax when I grow up."

The boy weakly retorted.

"You're in the second year of junior high now, a crucial time for your studies. Games will only ruin you!"

The boy's mother was furious. How could this boy be so stubborn? He dared to argue with her again and again today.

The father chimed in, "Son, your mother and I are doing this for your own good. Those who play games are just bad kids who don't do anything productive. We can't watch you get ruined."

"What are we working so hard for? It's for your success, not for you to spend all day playing games on your crappy phone! How can you do this to your mother and me after all we've sacrificed?"

"well said."

"Games really do ruin people's lives."

"Parents really have it tough..."

The father's words resonated with the parents in the audience. Parents watching the live stream also expressed strong agreement, offering both support and constructive criticism.

“My child is only 11 years old, and all he does when he gets home is play video games.”

"I've never seen him do his homework at home. All he does is play games like Honor of Kings, PUBG, and Genshin Impact."

"These Gen Z kids are being ruined by games!"

"I strongly urge the authorities to take action and ban the games! Ban them all!"

Games are almost the most hated thing by parents, and many parents can't stand their children playing games.

They felt that games were taking up their child's study time.

Therefore, the suggestion to ban games immediately resonated with parents.

"That's so true! Games are harmful. My daughter plays games every day. What kind of behavior is this for a girl!"

“Games are a new type of drug. If we don’t ban them, we will ruin our younger generation.”

"Ban it! Ban it! For our children, for the next generation, we must ban games!"

"..."

The live stream had become a celebration for parents, and some students who expressed their opposition were also overwhelmed by the public outrage.

Even neutral groups were swayed by the emotions of these students' parents, believing that games are truly harmful and will only ruin children.

But offstage, director Yan Ming frowned.

This kind of one-sided parenting may make parents happy, but students are disappointed with the program.

The live stream originally had five million viewers, but now only two million remain.

Moreover, the number of people is constantly decreasing.

Yan Ming was somewhat worried that if things continued like this, the ratings would continue to decline, and his show could be canceled at any time.

At this point, the previous child also stepped down from the stage, but after a few minutes, no new students were willing to go up and complain about their parents; they were all afraid to face their parents' anger.

See this scene.

Yan Ming became anxious.

If millions of people in the live stream are watching a blank screen, it could become a broadcasting mishap.

Tomorrow's trending topics will definitely be filled with mockery.

He immediately went to the principal and began to communicate, asking them to find some mischievous students who dared to face the parents' anger to come on stage.

However, to his surprise, the principal casually said that for the sake of the school's image, disobedient students had been sent home ahead of schedule.

Good guy!
Yan Ming was furious. Wasn't this just a show? A bunch of well-behaved students were no match for seasoned parents.

This seriously violated his original intention in making the program.

He gritted his teeth, ready to cancel the episode and re-record the second episode at another school, but the principal immediately produced a contract.

The contract states that, except in special circumstances, neither party may stop the recording of the program.

Yan Ming was on the verge of tears. When he signed the agreement, he was afraid that the student would be too excited and faint, so he stopped the recording to save the student.

Unexpectedly, this put the production team at a disadvantage.

The principal laughed smugly. This program was practically free advertising. Seeing how well-behaved and obedient their students were, many parents would send their children to study there.

This is a sure-fire way to make money!

For the first time, Yan Ming felt this sense of powerlessness. In the tide of mainstream thought, it was too difficult for him to change anything.

He started to back down, canceled the show, and started a new one called "Yearning for the Countryside," creating his own utopia.

Just then, a tall and upright young man appeared.

He strode confidently to the podium, picked up the microphone, looked around the room, and began to speak:

"Nothing can ruin the next generation except your parents!"

A thunderclap suddenly erupted, and the entire stadium fell silent!
