You can become anyone! (From their perspective only)
Hello. Good evening.
This is Hasegawa.
Here we go!
”NextGeneration”
Vol. 9 The Life of a Mosquito and the Susuwatari Phenomenon
I will be outputting the content for this!
For those of you who are too sensitive to the atmosphere,
please take something from this and
put it to use.

In the previous newsletter,
to make things easier to understand,
we used names like Romita's Grandma ≠ Zeniba
Hisoka's Mom ≠ Yubaba
(lol)
And last time,
Mr. Nitta talked about how Zeniba raised her with love and care, but was also the one who put limits on her potential, while Hisoka, despite being mean, was an important character because he ultimately created the opportunity for her to blossom. In response to this, quite a few readers replied saying,
“So, Zeniba, who put the limits on her, is a bad person, right?”
In Spirited Away, too,
when Chihiro was with the Susuwatari-like creatures carrying coal,
one of them tripped and couldn't get back up,
so when she helped them carry it,
everyone else dropped their coal and started pretending to have collapsed,
and Chihiro was scolded by the old man, saying, “Don't steal other people's work!”
Even if you do it with good intentions,
if you help too much,
it becomes a good example of how they become spoiled and dependent.
Even if it looks like a good deed from one side,
from the other side, it ends up becoming a bad phenomenon.
I've also been seriously thinking about which is better in my own work lately (lol)
But what Mr. Nitta wants to convey is not to divide things into a dualism of good and evil.
It seems that such labeling of good and evil is what hinders the improvement of information dissemination power.
It is often said that you should create a hypothetical enemy when disseminating information,
but even so, isn't it a bit painful to hang someone out to dry by saying they are bad?
Everyone has both good and bad parts.
There is no such thing as a 100% good person in this world.
Besides,
people with the power to disseminate information
can “show the other person a new world by providing a filter they don't possess.”
By shifting your perspective,
you can acquire a new filter.
Someone who is the exact opposite of you,
if that's difficult, start by
thinking about it from the perspective of a character you dislike... like Hisoka...
by thinking about Hisoka's past and background,
you can understand why that person does those things.
You start to be able to think about that person's background
and adopt their point of view as well.
The settings for Hisoka's background and such are written in detail in this newsletter as well,
so please read it,
and try to like Hisoka even just a little bit (lol)
Thank you for reading again tonight.
See you tomorrow!
