9/12 PR Crisis

Pastor Billy McCartney believes that in the current context of the times, women can do anything freely, and the so-called sexism has long been outdated; those so-called feminists have psychological problems, they are hysterical, overreact and have no sense of humor; they also emotionally impulsively accuse all potential problems, as if the whole society is targeting them.△◇△Tomato□w.|But in fact, they are the destroyers who destroy social stability.

As a pastor, Billy's influence in religious direction cannot be underestimated. His speech will receive responses from many loyal believers, just like last year's "Brokeback Mountain". After the movie was banned in Utah, most of the residents in the state did not respond much. They all followed the church's directing and took it for granted. Of course, these conservative forces themselves are the cornerstone of the construction of traditional culture.

The traditional culture that the Republican Party of America has always promoted is: the male lead is the outside and the female leads the inside. The suburbs buy a villa, slowly pays off the mortgage, has a stable job, has two to three children, and has a dog. This fixed concept of the middle class can be said to be deeply rooted, and it is also a universal concept of the United States. In turn, a large number of works on the middle-class midlife crisis were born, the most famous of which are "American Beauty" and "Glass of Wine Life".

It can be said that this is the mainstream outlook on life in the United States.

Of course, the United States is an immigrant country, and the integration and collision of cultures are an eternal theme, and the distinct gap between the rich and the poor will inevitably lead to differences in class concepts. The richness and colorful outlook on life, values ​​and worldview are also one of the characteristics of the North American continent. △ Tomato Novel○ Network☆w`w` But overall, the shackles of mainstream ideas are still difficult to break through. "Brokeback Mountain" was ignored by Oscars, "Chicago" defeated the "pianist", "Forrest Gump" defeated the "Shawshank Redemption" and "Pulp novels"... These are the most direct proofs.

Therefore, when Billy stood up and spoke out, his huge influence on the middle class was immeasurable, especially in the central and southern regions, with a wide influence. Not only that, Billy also once again called for, "In contemporary society, women have won their legal status, and now they should stop hurting their husbands, even their children, and return to their families and take on the role of traditional women."

After half a century of struggle, women have won many rights, but after entering the 21st century, these rights have gradually been attacked, such as the right to legal/abortion/exhaustion, the right to divorce, the right to women enter the labor market, etc.

Because one view is that women compete with men in the field of career, they cause double harm: on the one hand, they force men to workaholics in order to retain their good jobs, such as mental labor positions; on the other hand, it makes men more likely to accept bad jobs, like physical labor positions. ▽▽△w`w-w`.|`f` At the same time, after women enter the labor market, this also changes the importance and centrality of men and changes the status of women in the family. Therefore, the problem arises. Women no longer need men as they used to, but women are needed no matter what, because only women can give birth, but men do not. However, men also need the feeling of being needed by others.

Therefore, conservatives led by Billy accused women of entering society for productive labor, causing men to be unemployed and adding burden to women. They called on women to return to their families again.

Billy condemned indignantly that "When a film work, and a highly respected director, is still promoting this rebellious and meaningless idea and winning people's pursuit, it is a regression in the entire society, and this idea is destroying our traditional culture. This is a shame for the entire film industry!"

This reminds people of Mel Gibson last year. Before the news of Mel's insult to Jews was revealed, "The Crucifix" encountered strong protests from religious people, and even triggered a debate between Catholics and Jews. However, "The Crucifix" was set on a fire and roasted, and the continuous debate left Mel attacked. Tomato△ Novel□□○w-w`.|`Now, "The Road of Furious" is facing this situation again.

In addition to the Christian New Good Men Organization led by Bill, Robert-bly, the leader of the patriarchal organization, also stood up, "Absurd! Absurd! The whole movie is completely absurd! From any perspective, the story is stupid, and the female characters in it are simply outrageous. This is a slander and subversion of the traditional female image, and it is also a slander of traditional culture. Whether it is the female general or those women, everything is too disgusting! This movie should not be R-level, it should be completely nc-17 level! It should not even be made!"

Robert was simply splashing with mouth and furious, his words were passionate and flushed. "What's even more disgusting is that the male character who should have dominated has become synonymous with deformities. This is a serious insult to male authority, and even an insult to evolution! In the context of the era when male power has been severely weakened, this movie tries to turn all men into masculinity. Note that this is a precursor to the demise of human beings! Human beings perish!"

The central idea of ​​patriarchal organization is that from a genetic perspective, men are essentially different from women. Relying on physiology and evolutionary theory, men occupy a dominant position. Even if this statement has been proven to be wrong by science, they still hope that society can return to the core family era of male power and let women return to the family to play the role of a good wife and mother. This is the "correct family value". Tomato w`w`w-.|`.|

Therefore, Robert's anger at the "Raging Road" is clearly visible, as if it was storm and storm, and it quickly triggered a violent response on the Internet - it instantly pushed the "Raging Road" to the forefront, and everyone cast their sights. Whether they agree or not, it is undeniable that the debate on patriarchy and feminism has all started to explode, especially in the context of the historical record of the premiere last week's premiere, the discussion on "Raging Road" has exploded.

According to Yahoo community statistics, in just 24 hours, the discussion topic of "Raging Road" has exceeded 800,000 replies, and the click rate has reached an incredible six million - this record may be unprecedented; while Google's statistics are more direct. Within 24 hours, "Raging Road" ranked high in search keyword rankings, and the number of searches exceeded 16 million, which also set a new high.

The summer season frenzy has reached an unprecedented height, and even the storm of "Spider-Man" in 2003 is far from comparable to this year. The "Raging Road" that is trapped in a whirlpool of controversy suddenly became stormy. In the first week of the movie, 56% of the box office miracle were men. Even if only half of the audience was lost, this was a fatal blow to the subsequent box office curve of the movie.

What's worse is that the protest march, which was originally scheduled to be held next week, was officially staged on Saturday afternoon! Obviously, someone behind the scenes were fueling the fire, and the application for the parade of the patriarch group was quickly approved - Los Angeles, New York and Chicago. As for other cities, they can only wait until next week. It can be seen that they just want to strike while the iron is hot and push this wave of condemnation to the top before Chaos Pictures responds effectively!

More than 800 people held a protest demonstration in the square next to the Kodak Theater on Hollywood Avenue - all of them were men, and a group of 600 people chose to protest around Rockefeller Square. Both parades attracted a large number of onlookers, especially New York, which is a cultural center across the United States. Nearly two thousand people gathered on the sidelines. The nearby streets were blocked and everyone was closely watching the direction of the patriarchal protest. Even Chicago, the smallest number of people, participated in the parade.

There is no doubt that the parade attracted the attention of all reporters. In Los Angeles alone, more than 200 reporters arrived at the scene and reported it as soon as possible. Not only entertainment reporters, but also social reporters and political reporters joined in. The dispute over male rights and women's rights gradually deviated from the influence of a movie "Raging Road" and began to radiate towards the entire society.

Hollywood Avenue, where tourists were already crowded, was almost crowded with people. More than 60 anti-riots/police/police were on the scene to separate the demonstration team from the onlookers. Considering the sensitive topic of gender discrimination, the city hall must consider the danger of physical conflicts - the extreme of the patriarchal group, in comparison, is naturally feminist radical, which may trigger a real social chaos at any time. Fox TV even drove the live broadcast car over and reported the situation on the scene live. The entire Los Angeles was shrouded in an atmosphere of excitement and an out-of-control situation.

The protesters surrounded in the center held up signs of demonstrations and kept walking around the scene, shouting slogans, "Resist the 'Rampant Road'! Restore male dignity!" The unanimous shouts were connected and spreading them in a mighty way. When they were in high spirits, they would shout at the onlookers next to them, "Men's Power! Men's Power!" Trying to awaken the passionate and passionate way of everyone present. Hollywood Avenue looked like a pot of boiling dumplings from afar.

Things are losing control bit by bit, and all signs are showing that this boycott activity will not end in a short period of time. No one expected that the "razy road" that was still in full swing just two days ago was already in a crisis of being unable to protect itself in the blink of an eye!
