Birth of a Goddess [Comprehensive English and American]

"Time Magazine" publishes "Person of the Year" every year, which will cause a shock. Last year, the new US president appeared on the cover, and this year, the editor-in-chief of "Time Magazine" even appeared on the NBC Today Show. interview, while showing the cover of this issue of Time Magazine.

On the cover, five women are wearing simple and elegant black suits, sitting or standing, and half of their arms are exposed on the right side of the cover, and the eyes of these women are all sharp.At the top of the cover, the title of Time magazine and the theme of this issue are marked with familiar fonts, and the small characters on the side point out the reason why they were elected as "Person of the Year"-the Silence Breakers.

The original readers of "Time" will naturally not miss this issue of the magazine, and many people bought the magazine because of the promotion of NBC's Today Show or the characters on the cover.

Almost everyone who got the magazine had a question about the lonely arm in the lower right corner of the cover, and the host of the Today show also asked this question, "Edward, I noticed that there is a lady with only an arm in the lower right corner of the cover. , is there any particular reason for this?"

In front of the TV, Eliza, who just got today's "Time" magazine, looked at the half arm on the cover in surprise. She still remembered that it was this lady who gave her the whole process of filming that day. Show contemptuous attitude.Elisa pursed her lips, and happened to hear the host ask this question, and she pricked up her ears waiting for the answer from the editor-in-chief of "Time".

Edward Felsenthal, editor-in-chief of "Time" magazine, replied calmly, "This lady is the only anonymous person in the interview. She doesn't want to reveal her name or face because she doesn't want to be double-talked in the communication. hurt. We respected her decision."

This passage was quickly screenshotted and posted on the Internet platform, which caused a brief commotion. Apart from a small number of people expressing their understanding, another group of people quickly jumped out and pointed at the woman who refused to show up. Criticize.In their eyes, such evasive behavior runs counter to the purpose of the "#MeToo# movement" and is an unacceptable cowardly move.

But then, the same group of people turned their fire on Eliza.

In all the interviews, Elisa was the only interviewee who bluntly expressed concerns about the "#MeToo# movement" and showed a pessimistic attitude towards the future development of this movement.As for the content of the interview, this part of the content was almost not deleted, but on the basis of collation and proofreading, this part was published almost as it was.

But not everyone agrees with Eliza's point of view. In the eyes of radical feminists, as a pioneer of the "#MeToo# movement", Elisa's remarks are tantamount to "betrayal".

It was a sociology professor at Harvard University who took the lead in firing at Elisa. She vehemently attacked Elisa’s remarks in the interview on Twitter, calling it a “cowardly deserter” and accusing Eliza's retreat has seriously hurt the enthusiasm of those fighting on the front lines of the women's rights movement.She wrote sarcastically in her anger, "When we were fighting on the front line of the anti-sexual assault movement, someone ran out from the front of the line and told us in a calm and objective tone, hey, you are a bit too much The reform has not yet succeeded, but there are arrogant people who are trying to stir up troubles. I just want to tell you, put away your hypocritical remarks!"

With the appearance of the first speaker, criticisms of Eliza's remarks quickly emerged. All their praise and pride for Eliza before seeing this interview disappeared with this interview. .Angrily, they stabbed all the sword blades that were originally pointed at the sexual assaulter at Elisa through the network cable.

……

Eliza, who was in the center of the vortex of public opinion, did not seem to be affected in any way.

"Tuk, tuk, tuk..."

Carlos frowned and sat at the desk, his fingers clasped rhythmically on the table, his dull voice echoing in the empty office.

The blond woman sitting cross-legged on the sofa didn't seem to be affected at all. While swiping her phone, her eyes casually browsed the debates on the Internet, and she opened her mouth to take a bite of the apple in her hand.

"Crack".

Eliza took a big bite, and used her teeth to separate the apple from the middle to both sides of her cheeks. The originally thin cheeks were stuffed with apples.Elisa, who was chewing an apple, bulged her cheeks, like a little hamster stealing food.

"Click".Another sound.

Carlos's calm mask was slightly cracked, the veins on his forehead twitched, and he finally couldn't help but say, "The current wind direction on the Internet is not good for you, and your answer in the interview happened to step on radical feminists minefield, and when they attack you, other feminists or '#MeToo# movement' supporters may not agree with them, but they may not speak up for you."

Elisa took the last bite of the apple, raised her hand, narrowed her eyes slightly, and then used her arms to accurately throw the apple core into the trash can with a distance of more than one meter.The moment the apple core fell into the trash can, Eliza couldn't help whistling, and immediately noticed the sharp gaze on her back. Her body froze, and she turned her head to face Carlos Dangerously. eyes.

Eliza coughed lightly, "I have different opinions from them, and it's only a matter of time before I'm discovered." After saying this, Eliza saw Carlos's eyes shining brightly. One line of writing—then you still say that? !

"But wouldn't it be more dangerous if I said something that disagreed with me in an interview with Time magazine and was found out later? Breaking this out in advance now will avoid hidden dangers in the future ..." Elisa broke down her thoughts in detail and said it again.

Carlos sat on the office chair with his chest folded, his expression didn't fluctuate at all, until Elisa stopped, he looked directly into Elisa's eyes, and pointed out the loopholes in her defense, "But, you can also say It's not as clear, at least not as sharp, and it doesn't attract such a large amount of criticism."

Carlos' forehead twitched when he saw the blond woman showing him that standard smile that she had practiced countless times. "I will be responsible for the follow-up of this matter. But," he emphasized, emphatically, "until I resolve this incident, and until the tour starts, your Twitter and Facebook accounts are temporarily handed over to The public relations team will take care of it. There are only less than two weeks left before the first show of the tour, so we must not cause any trouble during this period of time."

Elisa nodded vigorously, Carlos hung his head, resting his right hand on the table, and raised his other hand in the air to point out the door.Eliza immediately ran out the door in small steps, not forgetting to gently close the office door.

After Elisa left, Carlos raised his head again, and his eyes fell coldly on the screen in front of him as if poisoned.

The group of people who began to criticize Eliza, of course, included feminists who were really dissatisfied with Eliza's remarks, but there were also people who were phishing for fame, or people who were in both situations.But within three minutes of the first critical tweet, the entry with Eliza's name shot up to the top ten searches and has remained there ever since.Behind this, I don't know how many forces are working together to fuel the flames.

It's only two weeks before the first stop of Eliza's tour officially starts, and the people who are doing things at this juncture...

The corners of Carlos' mouth curled up coldly, but he couldn't feel a half smile.

Really are……

Courage is commendable.

……

The situation on the Internet quickly turned one-sided. Even if someone sent out a tweet like "Eliza just proposed another way of thinking, not against the #MeToo# movement", it would be quickly dismissed by mixed trolls and Excited other netizens swiped down, drowning in the huge amount of news.

Some sensible people who have been observing the dynamics since the beginning of the incident couldn't help but shake their heads, roughly guessing that there is a sailor coming out to take the rhythm. Even so, they have nothing to do.After all, these angry netizens don't want to hear the words of the navy leading the rhythm. There are only two types of people in front of them-enemies or comrades-in-arms.

At this juncture, there was a tweet that broke through the encirclement and quickly became popular.

Tony Stark: Isn't "No More Silence" what the #MeToo movement is all about.how?Does everyone have to be optimistic about the development of this movement?

Countless netizens who disagreed with those radical views but were unable to speak out, after seeing Tony's tweet, they liked and commented without hesitation.

'Sure enough, he is a boss, and he speaks just right! '

'support! '

'I'm a girl, and I don't think there's anything wrong with what Eliza said.Doesn't she mean to remind those who participated in this movement not to forget the most basic demands when the movement was launched, to oppose sexual assault and harassment, and to avoid excessive emotional catharsis leading the incident to an uncontrollable direction, which is counterproductive? '

' Well said before.I just went to comment below, and I was sprayed to death...

Don't they check what I post before posting? '

'I think it's a trend now, and Eliza's concerns are not groundless.Without rational emotional venting, it will only rush to another group like wild horses, causing harm, but it will not be able to make the original victims get the guilt and respect they deserve, nor will they be able to prevent the next victim from appearing. '

In Tony's comment area, the style of painting suddenly changed in a certain paragraph.

'Did the boss only tweet?What about Facebook? '

'I was serious, but you made me laugh hahahahaha'

'Pfft, I also remembered, the boss's Facebook account is still banned'

"Why is there a sense of bleak joy inexplicably... I must be wrong"

When Tony's tweet was topped on the search list, an entertainment reporter, Shipley, was gearing up in front of the computer to make the final touches on the manuscript in front of him—"Stark's support for Eliza Lin: 818 The rumored entanglement between Tony Stark and Eliza Lin in those years".

Just when he was about to send it, he saw that the Hollywood Reporter had already sent out a similar headline——

'Hollywood Report: Tony Stark suspected of supporting Eliza Lin'

"Tsk", Shipley couldn't help but dropped the mouse on the desktop, frowning, and didn't think of another title until 3 minutes later and sent it to the editor, but was called back.

Shipley couldn't resist asking editor Magee, "Why?"

Editor Maggie lightly tapped the manuscript with his finger, raised his brows slightly, and said with a half-smile, "Shipley, how many rumors have you stuffed in it?" Seeing Shipley's eyes flickering, the editor couldn't help but sneer, " Do you still remember what happened to the person who spread rumors about Eliza last time?"

Last time……

Shipley's face turned pale suddenly, and he left the office with erratic steps. He couldn't help swallowing, but he couldn't hide the horror in his eyes.

Magee sighed in the room.

When Eliza was a newcomer before, there were always a lot of rumors about her, even the former editor in his position, most of them turned a blind eye to this situation.

but……

Ma Ji's eyes were fixed. It was easy to deal with in the past, but it doesn't mean that he can act like this now.

The lessons learned by the previous editor are still there.

It seems that we still need to find a time to have a good talk with them.

Maggie thought to himself.

His eyes fell on the manuscript that had not been brought back, and he silently raised the level of unprovoked the name "Eliza Lin" to a higher level.

The author has something to say: I saw the comment, but after thinking about it for a long time, I didn’t understand how to write orz

I'll think again (squatting in the corner)
