Chapter 173: The Core Differences Between Male and Female Channels (Part )

Qin Su continued, "It is also for this reason that the classic routine of 'Internet Trial' appears in female novels. The wronged heroine posts the incident online, and then there are long articles describing netizens' views on the incident. They sympathize with the heroine while scolding the vicious female supporting role. Novels with more exaggerated styles will also write that netizens found out her location, took her offline, and even worked together to bankrupt her."

Chu Lu: "? The netizens in the female-oriented novels are so awesome!"

Qin Su said: "This is just one of the more obvious routines. In addition, there are various other methods, some obvious and some hidden, so I won't go into details one by one."

Chu Lu nodded first, then realized something was wrong and said, "Wait, that's not right. How do you explain the sadistic writing? The heroine was abused terribly. If the core is to be loved, why write about her being abused? And you said there are people who don't follow the rules. According to you, doesn't she have to be hated? And what about the strong female characters? I don't see any plot about being loved in it."

Qin Su said calmly: "Don't worry, we will explain them one by one."

She continued, "To explain the situation of sadomasochistic literature, we have to introduce another secondary demand. This demand can be said to be second only to the core demand of being loved in female frequency, and it is widely distributed."

Chu Lu: "What is the demand?"

Qin Su: "Mu Qiang."

Chu Lu: “?”

Qin Su: "And it's not just ordinary admiration for the strong, it's admiration for the strong that has no values, no bottom line, no logic, and is extreme to the point of absurdity. In some female-oriented novels, the male protagonist must be excellent, and far better than the female protagonist. In order to let you understand how exaggerated this is, I will give you some extreme examples. Female-dominated novels."

Qin Su paused and said, "Chu Lu, the two female protagonists in the strong female novels you met are actually versions that have been improved many times. Do you know what the last popular version of the strong female novel was like?"

Chu Lu shook his head very cooperatively and didn't say anything. Just say whatever you want to say, and don't keep asking questions to ruin the atmosphere.

Qin Su showed a trace of helplessness in her eyes: "Women are stronger than men."

Chu Lu: “Ah?”

Qin Su: "In that version of the strong female novel, no matter how the author portrays the heroine as powerful, how talented she is, how hard she practices, how determined her character is, how exaggerated her adventures are, or how powerful her cheats are, in the end a male protagonist will always appear out of nowhere and knock her to the ground with a casual slap."

Chu Lu: “???”

Qin Su: "If this is an e-sports novel, then the heroine is the world's best AD, killing everyone, and no one can match her. Then after finishing her daily training, she gets up in the middle of the night to play ranked games to relax, and then she meets the hero, and ends up being abused all night. No matter how hard she tries to change heroes or ideas, it's useless.

If it is a novel about cultivating immortals, then the heroine is the world's number one genius from the world's number one sect, invincible among her peers, feared by the demons, and then she meets the hero and is slapped to the ground. Then she is unwilling to give up, gets up with red eyes and wants to attack again, gets knocked down again, and wants to attack again, keeps saying harsh words, and finally gets the hero's loving look.

Even if some people feel something is wrong, they force themselves to write that the heroine is stronger than the hero in every aspect, but they will reveal their true colors as they write, and end up writing some inexplicable plots. For example, the heroine is clearly set to be taller than the hero, but the heroine wears the hero's shirt, which is loose and large.

Or the heroine is clearly set to be much stronger than the hero, but when they get to the bed, the heroine is pinned down, panicking and begging for mercy. She also faints in the middle of the sex, wakes up the next day with soreness all over her body, bruises all over her body, and is scared when she sees the hero wake up.”

Chu Lu: "...Is this a strong woman? Why does it sound like a male channel with a different perspective?"

Qin Su: "Yes. The last version was like this. It was even more exaggerated than the male version. Even the male version, which focuses on conquering the opponent, did not degrade the female protagonist to nothing like this. The reason for doing this is what I said before - admiration for the strong. Because of admiration for the strong, the male protagonist must be much stronger than the female protagonist."

Qin Su: "If all female-dominated novels are like this, then other female-oriented novels are naturally even more exaggerated. The heroines of such works usually come from ordinary families, or worse, they are the daughters of bankrupt families. The male protagonists usually have top looks, top power, top wealth, and are almost omnipotent. But this raises a question."

Qin Su said: "How can two people with such a big gap fall in love? Considering that the core need of female channels is to be loved, this is a very important question that must be answered. Just like male channels desire superiority, the most important setting of male channels is often the golden finger that the male protagonist uses to surpass others."

"Indeed." Chu Lu nodded, then asked, "But what does this have to do with being abused?"

Qin Su: "You will understand if you listen to my reasoning. How to be loved by someone who is far better than you is a question that is easy to answer for men who desire superiority - just become better than her. But this method does not work for women, because once the heroine becomes better than the hero, then the desire for strength will not be met this time."

Qin Su: "If it is changed to the heroine being so beautiful, kind, or unique that the hero falls in love with her, it will seem too old-fashioned and unconvincing. And... due to some unspeakable dark psychology, such a heroine will even be ridiculed and attacked by female readers. Therefore, in order to satisfy multiple requirements such as admiration for the strong, being loved, and being recognized by female readers at the same time, the solution they finally come up with is moral weighting."

Chu Lu: “? What the hell?” Qin Su: “Imagine there is a scale, with the hero and heroine on the left and right sides. Due to the huge gap between the two sides, the hero will definitely be the one that falls hard. In a sadistic story, the hero will torture the heroine endlessly, and these unscrupulous actions will be transformed into the heroine’s moral weight. When enough has accumulated, the author will write such a plot with a stroke of his pen.

Either the previous abuse was actually due to some misunderstanding, and the hero may have mistakenly thought that the heroine was a murderer or had done something bad, so even though he had a little love for the heroine, it was still overshadowed by hatred.

Therefore, after the misunderstanding was resolved, hatred disappeared and love emerged. Thinking of his past behavior, he felt extremely guilty, so he decided to love the heroine more passionately and make up for her.

Or you could just skip this part and write that the hero suddenly fell in love with the heroine, but it was impossible for the heroine to fall in love with him, so he felt extremely regretful for the past, and then decided to love the heroine even more passionately to make up for her.

But no matter which one it is, the essence is to transform the moral weight into the hero's guilt, and then transform the guilt into the hero's love. In the end, the huge love is used to balance the huge tilted scale, thus satisfying the two conditions of admiring the strong and being loved at the same time. "

Qin Su: "At the same time, for the older generation of female readers who generally have a people-pleasing personality, the scenario where the heroine silently sacrifices but is tortured in various ways, and finally gets redressed and wins the favor of the domineering president is also a scenario they can accept. Even if there are complaints, it's nothing more than that the heroine wasn't tortured enough, or that the heroine's attitude after being redressed isn't friendly enough."

Chu Lu: "What kind of heaven-defying thing is this?"

Qin Su continued, "As for the new generation of female-dominated literature, it is much more subtle. Their audience happens to be the group of people who are extremely disgusted with abusive literature, so they choose the opposite direction. They still have the need to admire strong men, but this need is often borne by the female protagonist. Therefore, the female protagonists of this type of work are incredibly powerful and will hardly encounter any difficulties.

He is simply a domineering boss with a changed gender.

On the other hand, they also have the need to be loved, but because the heroine has become extremely strong, there is no need to gain moral weight by being abused. They usually write that because the heroine is very outstanding, all kinds of male supporting characters are attracted to her and have a crush on her. This plot is widely distributed in all kinds of CP-free novels that claim not to talk about love.

If you want a stronger taste, it will become the two copies you encountered, Chu Lu. Whether it is Zhao Quan in the previous world or the Buddhist son in this world, it is the same. Obviously, the main story line of one is revenge, and the other is to take away the Buddha's light. But they have to spend a certain amount of space to write about the male protagonist and the male supporting role falling in love with the female protagonist.

Then the heroine tortured them endlessly. Seeing them being tortured and in pain, they still couldn't stop loving the heroine. In particular, the psychological description occupies a huge amount of space, and the core need to be loved can be said to be quite fully satisfied. "

Chu Lu: "I see...but is it necessary to be so extreme?"

Qin Su: "Yes. Because the inertia of admiring the strong is too strong. If we don't do this, then we will definitely deviate towards the previous generation of female strong literature. After all, even in this day and age, there are still a lot of female strong wife literature on various websites. That's why this kind of novel can be written. People who like to read this kind of novel are often more extreme, and then under their mutual resonance and purification, this kind of work will eventually become... as absurd and disgusting as the sadistic literature they hate."

Chu Lu: "Really? The female-oriented ecosystem is amazing."

Qin Su: "After explaining these two situations, your third question - what happens when a female protagonist breaks the rules? I think there's no need to explain it."

Chu Lu nodded and said, "Either it's a story about a strong female protagonist, or the heroine is put in a situation where she won't be disliked even if she breaks the rules, right?"

Qin Su: "Almost."

Chu Lu: “…”

Qin Su: "What's wrong?"

Chu Lu: "No, it's just... it feels a bit too ridiculous."

Qin Su: "Is that so... It seems that you still don't know enough about female-oriented novels. But it doesn't matter, we will encounter many female-oriented novels in the future, and each female-oriented novel will prove what I said today. Sooner or later, you will accept it."

Seeing Qin Su so confident, Chu Lu stopped refutation and said, "So what should we do next? Leave here and find the Ghost Sect?"

"Yes." Qin Su replied: "Once Wei Jin died, others would initially think that she had failed in her strategy and thus self-destructed. But as time goes by, it's hard to say if there won't be accidents. So we need to act quickly and find the hero as soon as possible."

"Then let's stop talking nonsense and go."
