Entertainment: Is this how you play music?!

Chapter 354: Turning the tables and pointing fingers wildly.

The plot is being discussed on the Chinese internet, and there's been a lot of analysis based on the music, fueled by the streamer's cover of "Quitting the Internet." Although there are disagreements, it's at least relatively normal.

Abroad, it's simple; they just exchange greetings.

The incident was triggered by comments made by a popular YouTuber in the gaming section.

It simply means that the female character from Black Monkey is fantastic, and it's a criticism of the female character designs in Western games.

This caused a huge uproar.

Even though he knew it, Li Can still couldn't understand what kind of person would criticize female game characters for being too beautiful.

It's very likely a business deal.

Only four days had passed when the online battle spread beyond its original scope, with all sorts of eccentric individuals joining in and making the discussion increasingly outrageous.

Li Can knew.

The struggle for aesthetic discourse power has entered a new stage.

The truth is that everyone is vying for the right to define aesthetics and beauty, but those foreigners clearly don't understand the concept of going too far. Their ability to distort reality relies on strength, not experience. As long as a challenger of sufficient weight appears, the era of forcibly distorting diverse beauty is long gone.

At this point, it's still a bit lacking.

How game characters should be designed, and what constitutes beauty, are no longer important. What matters is who people trust more.

My second brother wouldn't lie.

This is the most popular episode for confident girls.

After a little thought, Li Can made up his mind.

It's really inconvenient for me to stand up and shout things out directly, even speaking from a gamer's perspective, there will still be some issues.

That's a bit too direct; you should be more tactful.

After all, the most important thing is that this New Year's concert is a cultural exchange between the two countries, and we should not put the cart before the horse.

But that doesn't mean we can't make a fuss.

With netizens on foreign websites clamoring for support and urgently needing to take the lead, if we don't stir things up now, are we going to wait until later?
Li Can immediately made a phone call to Chen Gang.

It's inconvenient for me.

It doesn't mean my brother is inconvenienced.

This is called flexible arrangement.

Let Chen Gang do a live stream and talk a bit, saying things like "my brother Li Can once said," that's enough.

Just a slight movement, and Gangzi's maniacal laughter rang out from the other end of the phone.

After the laughter subsided, Chen Gang became somewhat worried and checked again.

"Brother Can, do you really want me to stir up this kind of trouble during the live stream?"

"Bring it, bring it as much as you want, just say it was my order."

Chen Gang felt a warmth in his heart, and a sense of gratitude spread through him.

It's good to have an older brother; he can handle things.

We should also show some concern for our older brother.

"Won't there be any problems? I'm afraid you'll get attacked."

Who would have thought.

Upon hearing this, Li Can laughed heartily.

"What's the big deal? Just be ambiguous and don't let people grasp the main point. Besides, even if you mess up, I can just deny it, right?"

Chen Gang's eyelids twitched.

He roared in his heart, "Give me back the feeling I was moved by!"

"Holy crap, is this even possible? Am I supposed to take the blame?"

"Go ahead and memorize it. Don't worry, you'll be punished by being banned from entering the studio for a month."

Li Can's confident demeanor only made Chen Gang smile.

Paid leave, ordered to slack off.

Who says this punishment is bad? This punishment is absolutely perfect!

"Holy crap! That's great, Chan-ge, please punish me severely."

After hanging up the phone.

Li Can smiled.

He cheerfully recounted the whole story to Winnie.

To everyone's surprise, Winnie's reaction was even more radical than that of the more radical players online.

"What?! All this has happened in just the last few days?!"

After a brief moment of surprise, a series of birdsong and fragrant flowers filled the air.

Winnie's fair and delicate face made the redness stand out exceptionally clearly.

"Fuck you, XXX! I'm a piece of XXXX who should have died a long time ago, but I had to jump out here!"

Li Can's eyebrows twitched violently.

Suddenly I remembered Winnie's favorite type of game.

However, these game genres are precisely the hardest hit by the persecution and suppression of correct aesthetics.

In Western strategy games, the correct actions are always listed on the must-eat list.

Including but not limited to freckles with trypophobia, square-faced lady, and chocolate flying pig.

This level of disgust is simply beyond compare to that of a proper AAA game.

When a AAA game has an ugly character, it's like finding a pile of shit on the roadside—you might step on it at most, but when it comes to ugly characters in this type of game, you really have to eat them up.

"."

Li Can broke out in a cold sweat.

"Honey, don't be angry. Here, have a cup of tea."

I poured vodka into a glass and went to the nearby refrigerator to grab an ice cube to tide me over.

Winnie downed her drink in one gulp, then suddenly chuckled.

When will Gangzi start live streaming?

"Tomorrow night? It's afternoon here."

"OK."

Since there's no rehearsal work on my days off, I can have some fun.

Time flies, and soon it was afternoon.

At that time, it was exactly 7 p.m. in China.

As usual, Chen Gang started a live stream at an irregular time and very casually.

Previously, they were always broadcast live on domestic platforms.

This time, however, Chen Gang chose to give his overseas fans a surprise.

They chose to stream the live stream on YouTube.

Although DP has been relatively quiet lately, it doesn't mean they're not popular. Top bands can easily outshine internet celebrities in terms of popularity.

In addition, Chen Gang usually likes to use his official account to occasionally go live, and he has a group of regular viewers and female streamer fans. After he started his live stream, the female streamers who support "Brother Gang" could easily attract viewers, and although he changed platforms, the number of online viewers increased rapidly.

The YouTube livestream was instantly flooded with Chinese fans.

Although I don't understand why they switched platforms, it's not a big deal; the fans will explain it themselves.

Don't ask, the answer is that Gangzi feels sorry for the female streamers and wants to leave them a way to make a living. If you can watch YouTube, watch YouTube; if you can't, watch Gangzi's live stream directly in the female streamer's room.

Moving.

[Hey, Gang Ge's livestreaming! Is he streaming himself playing games or checking out other streamers today?]

What's Li Can doing? Where are Feng and the others? Are you alone? I'm not watching anymore.

I want to see Gang Ge play the piano.

Chen Gang glanced at the comments and chuckled.

"Just doing a casual broadcast today, it's a holiday, how about playing some games?"

Chen Gang started streaming single-player games.

He started chatting with the audience.

Foreign netizens are unaware that DP's keyboardist frequently streams live in their country.

Seeing that someone with the ID "DP Band Keyboardist Chen Gang" started a live stream and quickly climbed to the top of the popularity charts, I clicked in out of curiosity.

Oh my god, it's me.

The enthusiasm was immediately high, attracting more and more netizens from overseas to enter the live broadcast room.

The comments section began to display various languages.

When will DP Band have another performance?

When are you considering releasing a new album?

Oh no, they say Henry became a gaming addict because of Lee. I was worried back then that the DP band might get addicted to games too, but now my heart is dead.

Looking at the comments section, Chen Gang laughed heartily and interacted with his fans.

The live stream was equipped with voice recognition and translation, and Chen Gang would occasionally answer in English. There were also experts in the chat trying their best to help answer questions. Although communication was a bit difficult, it was not impossible.

As they played, the main event arrived, and before long, Chen Gang began to mutter to himself.

"Tsk, this character is too ugly," the second brother protested.

[What the hell is this second brother protesting?]

To be honest, it's really ugly.

Hear the signal.

The top viewer, who had been pre-arranged by Chen Gang, attracted attention in the live stream with gift effects and then asked a very pointed question.

Regarding the recent issue on foreign websites concerning the accuracy of the character's appearance.

[These past few days, some people on YouTube have been saying that the female Black Monkey character is too beautiful, which is incorrect and shows a great lack of respect for diversity. What do you think, Gang Ge?]

A glance.

Chen Gang snorted.

"Thank you for the gift, big brother!"

"Incorrect? Not diverse? Are you kidding me? Those are all fairies, isn't that diverse enough?"

"There are monkeys, pigs, and insects in the whole game. It's practically a zoo. It's hard to find even a human. You're telling me this isn't diverse enough?"

Netizens were shocked, but also pleasantly surprised.

Domestic netizens may not have had a very direct response, but foreign netizens are absolutely blown away.

Is this something that can be said? Is this something that can be openly discussed?!

It's worth noting that most game streamers are hesitant to discuss this topic in detail, at most offering only complaints. That's why it caused such a huge stir when a YouTuber with millions of followers openly criticized it.

The mosquito jade here is the best.

Very few dare to give a direct response!

Oh my god! Please say more!

I originally just wanted to listen to their music, but after hearing the DP band members say things like that, I decided to buy a limited edition vinyl record as a souvenir.

Seeing this kind of reaction from the comments.

Let alone Chen Gang.

Li Can and Winnie, who were peeking from the corner, both burst out laughing.

Clearly, Mars has been ignited.

When the definition of aesthetics is questioned and loses credibility, that's precisely when a dark horse emerges!
The appearance of a female game character alone can influence the dominant force in aesthetic discourse.

This is what they mean by "the people have their own affairs, and the art world has its own activities."

With a two-pronged approach, this attack is bound to be devastating.

Chen Gang is still attacking.

The intensity and language of the outburst made viewers on foreign websites exclaim that they had never felt so relieved in their lives.

"A demon, ugly her whole life, cultivating for hundreds or thousands of years, finally transforming into human form, can't she even become a little prettier?"

"If you were asked to recreate your character's face and model, would you choose to make yourself a handsome man or a beautiful woman, or make yourself ugly in a perfectly acceptable way?!"

Chen Gang shook his head repeatedly.

The confidence in his voice was simply overwhelming.

Foreign viewers were absolutely stunned.

"If you think it's wrong to say someone is too beautiful, go and get yourself plastic surgery so you have a pockmarked face before you start talking."

"If you already have a pockmarked face with protruding teeth, then I'm sorry, you win."

As Chen Gang got more and more excited, he stood up.

Bow ninety degrees.

"I'm sorry! I've offended you! Please forgive me if I have offended you, but lies don't hurt people, the truth is the sharpest knife. When you get angry because of the beauty of the game characters, I want to tell you, you can lie to others, but don't lie to yourself!"

Just like how men sometimes enjoy looking at handsome men or muscular men.

Women don't feel aversion or jealousy towards beautiful female characters; on the contrary, they often like them.

What kind of person would get angry because a game character is too beautiful?
Flying Pig, only Flying Pig.

It's important to know that appearance anxiety in the West far exceeds that in China (8 versions).

Such words are absolutely bombshells.

The comments section exploded with activity.

【Ahahahhahaha！！】

Yes!! This is it!!

Oh my god, you've said exactly what I've been thinking!

Exactly! If I can't meet any pretty women in real life, am I not allowed to see some good ones in a game?!

[Screw him! I just want to see pretty girls!]

at this time.

The eldest brother, who had communicated the schedule in advance, started to exert his efforts again.

Asking questions knowingly!

With the special effects of the gift, Chen Gang instantly drew the attention of the fans in the live stream.

"Thank you for the gift, big brother!"

Does an excessive focus on appearance cause women to overlook their inner beauty?

This kind of rhetoric is a common attack tactic used by the right players.

After seeing this issue, many netizens on foreign websites began to worry.

Such remarks are indeed difficult to respond to.

However, Chen Gang simply shook his head, not taking it to heart at all.

“You’re right, but I would suggest you learn about the core concepts before you speak, instead of just looking at the surface.”

"To think that judging a woman's beauty by appearance alone is objectification, and that appearance makes people overlook inner qualities, means that either you are the one who truly judges by appearance, or you are arrogantly using Western thinking to superficially and ignorantly view Eastern art."

"!"

Let alone the viewers in the live stream.

Even Winnie exclaimed "Holy crap!" and looked at Li Can.

"There's another pit here? Li? You helped him."

"Correct."

Li Can's OK gesture made Winnie's eyes light up as she realized the crux of the problem.

This feeling of being blamed on someone else is really...
So cool!
"Didn't you ever think about why the female demon was designed this way?"

Chen Gang's expression was very serious.

They truly approached the discussion of artistic expression and its foundations with an academic attitude.

"I learned some design ideas from Brother Can."

"The true form of a fairy is a monster, an ugly monster. The anthropomorphic image reflects the human heart of the monster. It uses the human image to express the inner beauty of the fairy monster more directly."

"This is a very typical, yet very subtle, artistic expression."

【Fuck! 】

[Wow, that's a great answer!]

I'm shocked!

The comments section was filled with shock.

Have any of you netizens ever seen this before?
What you perceive as external is actually a tangible expression of your inner self.

Who the hell could have imagined this?!

"The transformation of a demon into human form, from ugly to beautiful, is a kind of evolution, and it also expresses humanity's natural pursuit of beauty. Demons eat people, but whether they become immortals or evil spirits after cultivating the Tao depends on their hearts. This is a sublimation of morality and reason, and a process of moving towards goodness."

"You think they are ferocious demons? But when they transform into human form, you will find that they are actually beautiful and kind girls. How is this different from people in reality who look fierce but are kind at heart?"

When Chen Gang got to this point, he was filled with righteous indignation.

They forcibly stand on the moral high ground and point fingers wildly.

That couldn't be more true.

"This tells us that we should never judge a book by its cover, but pay more attention to inner beauty."

This time.

Not to mention the international viewers who were already thoroughly enjoying themselves.

Even Chinese netizens were excitedly flooding the screen with comments.

[Damn! Sir, you're so righteous!]

This is art!
