My capital is quite large.

When Johnny & Associates made a high-profile announcement that Johnny Kitagawa had resigned and would be reorganizing the company, news broke that...

Whether it was the local people deeply shocked by the incident or international netizens following the story, after a brief moment of astonishment, their emotions did not subside but instead grew even more furious.

Is resigning the solution all there is?

This wicked old monster, who has harmed countless underage male celebrities for decades, must be sent to prison!

However, faced with the overwhelming public outcry, several mainstream television stations invited authoritative legal experts to their programs during prime time to explain an absurd objective reality to the public from a legal perspective:

According to the current criminal code, the definition of a victim of rape does not include men.

This means that Kitagawa's actions of forcing male trainees at the bottom of society and the agency to have relationships cannot be classified as rape under the legal framework of Xiao Rizi.

The vast majority of his victims were teenagers aged 12 to 18.

Furthermore, because his crimes spanned decades, the vast majority of the victims' crimes occurred far in the past.

In the current judicial system, the most serious crime applicable to sexual assault against men, forced molestation, has a statute of limitations of only a paltry seven years.

Even if victims want to file for financial compensation in civil proceedings, they face a 3-year or 20-year statute of limitations.

When these astonishing legal provisions and popular science articles were transmitted back to Southeast University in their entirety via the internet, the entire domestic public opinion field was in an uproar.

"Why?! The victim was a boy, so the perpetrator can escape criminal responsibility?!"

"What kind of bullshit law is this? Doesn't a boy's innocence count as innocence?!"

Amidst a chorus of condemnation of the injustice done to Xiao Rizi's case, a large number of young male netizens in China inevitably felt a strong and bittersweet resonance with this absurd case from across the ocean.

Because, like Sherlock Holmes, netizens quickly consulted their own laws and were shocked to discover:

At that time, the definition of rape in the domestic criminal law of Tokyo University was also limited to female victims.

If a man is assaulted by a woman of the same sex or the opposite sex, in judicial practice, at most he can only be charged with the crime of forced indecency, which is far less severe in terms of punishment and nature of the crime than the former.

What shocked and horrified countless male netizens even more was that a legal professional shared another absurd case on the forum:

If a man is forcibly assaulted by a woman against his will, and the woman subsequently becomes pregnant and gives birth to a child.

Legally, due to the strict regulations protecting the legitimate rights and interests of minors, this male victim is still required to pay monthly child support for the child he did not voluntarily give birth to until the child reaches adulthood!

This series of cold and harsh legal realities quickly exposed the absurd lies of those on the internet who clamor daily about the exploitation of women by a patriarchal society.

At this moment, a large number of young men, burdened by exorbitant bride prices, the cost of buying cars and houses, and immense workplace pressure, began a widespread collective reflection:

"Isn't this wrong? Those 'feminists' who talk about this patriarchal society all the time, trying to completely erase it from their minds, who are they actually protecting?"

"So, in reality, ordinary men bear more family and social responsibilities than women, and face greater pressure regarding buying a house and paying a bride price."

"So, when faced with the most basic forms of physical abuse, the law provides us with less protection and attention than it does to women?"

"It seems that in this frenzy of capital and public opinion, we ordinary men at the bottom are the ones who are truly oppressed and exploited far worse!"

No one expected that a decades-old sexual assault scandal involving a godfather of the entertainment industry, after being exposed through the efforts of the BBC and Haofeng Films, would unexpectedly ignite the first budding movement of male self-defense and reflection in Dongda.

However, at this time, the economy in Tokyo was booming and social changes were happening rapidly.

It can be said that we are in a golden upward cycle, full of vitality and with everything flourishing.

During such a period of prosperity, naturally there won't be many capital and media outlets that hold the power of discourse, who will truly care about what ordinary men at the bottom of society, silently toiling away and enduring pressure, are thinking.

After all, throughout history, periods of economic growth have always been the most fertile ground for petty-bourgeois feminist ideas and consumerism.

As long as the economy continues to grow, the consumerist feminist movement can continue in full swing, fueled by capital.

Of course, this is based on the premise of an economic upswing!

......

Just when things were turbulent on the other side of the ocean and public opinion was turbulent at home.

Haofeng Film and Television's flagship program, "Idol Producer," has come to an end after three rounds of brutal selection and elimination.

Of the 100 vibrant male trainees who originally entered the venue, less than half remain on stage due to the brutal voting mechanism.

Of course, as the undisputed uncrowned king of the entire competition, Chicken Bro's votes always held a breathtakingly high number one position on the overall leaderboard every time they were announced.

But, just when it seemed that Chicken Bro was about to debut as the center of the group,

His former agency suddenly filed a lawsuit against Chicken Bro in a court in Shanghai, accusing him of unilaterally breaching his contract.

The amount of liquidated damages claimed in the lawsuit is an astronomical figure that would shock everyone – three hundred million!

The news caused an uproar throughout the country!

Three hundred million?! Are you robbing me?!

"How old is Chicken Bro? He's not even twenty yet, he hasn't even debuted, and he's already got a bottomless debt of 300 million?!"

The online discussion surrounding this issue is in complete chaos.

While passersby found it unbelievable, the massive female fan groups, brimming with fighting spirit and well-versed in their idols' grievances, quickly began educating the public on various forums, online communities, and Weibo about their idols' struggles and the treacherous nature of capital.

"Hey everyone, look closely! Why does our Chicken Bro keep insisting on being an 'individual trainee' on the show?"

"Because his former agency was a complete bloodsucker!"

"He was not yet an adult back then, and we tricked him into signing a contract that would last for more than a decade."

"The contract stipulates that he only receives a pitiful 10% cut, but if he wants to terminate the contract, the penalty for breach of contract will skyrocket to 300 million!"

"Moreover, many of these small brokerage firms in China that specialize in exploiting legal loopholes are best at signing dozens or even hundreds of young and naive kids from art schools at once."

"After signing, they won't give you any resources at all; they'll just freeze you out."

"They don't make money off their artists' fame; they just sit in their offices all day, waiting for someone to break their contract and demand exorbitant breach of contract fees and extortion to maintain the company's huge profits and operations!"

Immediately, opinions were divided online.

Although the female fans' cries garnered considerable sympathy, those who had always disliked Brother Chicken and his fans' behavior, including both haters and casual observers, began to gloat and mock him at this moment.

"Serves you right! You signed a contract in black and white, and now that you're famous, you want to renege on it? Have you all eaten the spirit of contracts?"

"They have money to buy trending topics, but not money to fulfill the contract? Three hundred million—it would be better if they paid it all off!"
