Chapter 431 Can’t afford to play?
Whenever Su Xing updated her Weibo, Su Yu would click on it to see what her sister had updated.
When Su Yu saw the contents of these two sets of simple cartoons, she was shocked. Her sister was really brave enough to draw!
The content of this painting is so sharp, won’t her sister be criticized?
When I clicked into the comment section, I saw that it was indeed lively and controversial.
"The comics about menstrual shame drawn by the artist are not representative at all. The protagonist Xiaoli lives in a backward town where people live in poverty and have conservative ideas. Maybe the situation in this story will happen, but in fact, everyone's living environment is not like that in the comics. I wonder what the artist's intention is to use such a story as a starting point to talk about menstrual shame?"
"Is the blogger deliberately slandering men?"
"The painter has learned from the woman who said 'get your quality'. Is he trying to stir up conflict and create confrontation between men and women? His intention is despicable!"
"I'm a girl, and I also think that the two groups of artists are a bit extreme in their drawings. Isn't it targeting these uncommon phenomena?"
"Isn't the blogger's drawing too exaggerated? Sanitary napkins are not expensive. Is there anyone who can't afford sanitary napkins these days?"
There are people who question Su Xing, and naturally there are also people who support her.
Many people also shared their experiences under her two sets of paintings.
"The issue of menstrual shame has always existed. Why can't we talk about it? I remember when I was in school, I had to cover my sanitary napkins with my classmates' sleeves when I borrowed them. I'm in a second-tier city, so it's not considered a remote and backward place, right?"
"Are these drawings by the artist really not representative? I don't live in a big city, but I don't live in a backward area either. As far as I can remember, we girls were sneaky when we took sanitary napkins out at school. If someone took them out in class, everyone would be embarrassed, and some boys would even make a scene."
"Speaking of teasing, it reminds me of some experiences when I was a child. I was teased by the boys in my class more than once or twice. I was teased when my body developed and when I was found to have my period. During adolescence, I often walked with my chest hunched and my back hunched. I tried my best to hide myself in the baggy school uniform. Every time I had my period, I tried my best not to let others find out. But one time, my deskmate stole the sanitary napkin from my schoolbag. He spread it around in the class and laughed at me wantonly. It was almost exactly the same as what happened to the protagonist Xiaoli in the painting! Because of these things, I felt inferior for a long time. Now that I have grown up, I still feel uncomfortable when I think of those experiences..."
"Is it considered intentional blackening to paint the truth? Is it considered stirring up conflict between men and women? If you haven't done these things, why are you so sensitive? Why are you putting yourself in their shoes?"
"Why do I dislike the phrase "I'm a girl, so I'm this and that"?"
"Sanitary napkins are not expensive? Why not eat meat? Sanitary napkins have been getting more and more expensive in recent years. I have to spend dozens of yuan every month to buy ordinary and cheap sanitary napkins. Can you check how many women in our country cannot afford sanitary napkins that meet hygiene standards? How many women are still using menstrual paper from small workshops and bulk sanitary napkins that cost one or two cents a piece?"
"If nothing else, I believe most women have had this experience. When you go to the supermarket to buy sanitary napkins, you will be given a black bag to put them in. Isn't this menstrual shame? And if you use an ordinary bag, no one will pay too much attention. Using a black bag will make it more conspicuous."
Su Yu lowered his head, holding his phone and was very busy, sometimes liking some comments, sometimes responding to the trolls.
It wasn't until she saw that the big V in the painting world who was Yin Yang Su Xing had posted another Weibo commenting on the two new sets of comics drawn by Su Xing that she got completely furious.
This is what the other party said about Su Xing:
"I have to say that this artist is very good at managing his account. He has been very skillful and timely in taking advantage of the popularity this time. However, as a senior, I still have to give him some advice. He should put his mind on the right things. These two simple cartoons are really not very technical. What's the point of drawing something at a child's level? Besides, the story content of this cartoon can bring some topics and increase a few fans, but so what? These social problems will not be solved by your few simple drawings."
When Su Yu saw the local Weibo post, she was so angry that her face turned red and her head was buzzing.
She typed a lot and responded to the other party:
"You woke up and are trying to take advantage of her popularity? Then what does your behavior now mean? Are you trying to take advantage of her popularity?"
"You say that others don't put their minds into honing their painting skills, but what about you? Where do you put your mind? Are you using it to stare at your peers and suppress them?"
"I think you are just jealous. You are jealous that someone is more spiritual than you, that someone is more talented than you, that someone has more fans than you!"
"Your behavior of stepping on others to elevate yourself is really disgusting. You still have the nerve to act like a senior. What kind of senior are you?"
The other party must have been very angry with Su Yu, but because of his face, he did not personally confront Su Yu, and finally blocked her.
Su Yu was furious. She fiddled with it for a long time and created a secondary Weibo account, intending to confront this "senior painter".
When I woke up, I saw my cousin gritting her teeth and poking at her phone hard.
"What's wrong?" she asked.
Su Yu looked up and handed the phone to Su Xing, "Sister, look at this crappy painter. He is clearly trying to take advantage of your popularity, but he won't let me talk and even blocked me. I can't stand it!"
Su Xing took the phone from Su Yu, looked at the Weibo post by the "senior", and clicked on the other party's comment area to take a look. It was still quite lively, with some people scolding him and some supporting him.
Looking at his number of fans, it seems that he has gained some fans.
Su Xing returned the phone to Su Yu and soothed her, "Calm down. Don't get angry with people like this. It's not worth it to get yourself hurt."
"Sister, aren't you angry? I'm so pissed off! Are you just going to let him keep stepping on you to gain fans? This kind of person is too mean!"
Su Xing took out his mobile phone and opened Weibo, taking a quick look at everyone's reactions in the comment section.
Then she opened the photo album on her phone, found a picture, and posted another Weibo.
Wake Up V: "Although my power is very small and I cannot completely change some social problems, I am willing to do my part to help those girls in need get more help. I also believe that our country will develop better and better, and society will become more inclusive. In the future, people will no longer be afraid of menstruation, and there will be fewer and fewer women in menstrual poverty. (Picture)"
She uploaded a screenshot of her donation, the amount of which was 50,000 yuan. The donation was made earlier than the time when she forwarded the video of the blogger who said "Pick up your quality and don't put it down".
The channel for her donation was a celebrity foundation with a good reputation. By the time of her rebirth, the other party had not collapsed, and the use of the donations received was relatively transparent, so it was a foundation that she felt more at ease with.
