Toxic fanaticism is a very old thing, and although the Internet has made it louder, it is hardly more dangerous. This hardly affected Sato Ryuga?s career: after Geats, he already managed to play in two shows, and he also has a singing career. Plus, if we accept that the message about the toxicity of the audience in Geats is the main one (although I?m sure it wasn?t even in the original script), then we can turn on the conspiracy theorist and assume that the hate posts are fake, written incognito by Toei employees.
But, taking this opportunity, I would like to slightly justify the fictional viewers who hated Neon. They, as fans, had reasons to be offended. Let's just follow Neon's entire journey up to this point and treat her journey like that of a reality show participant.
Her first time in the spotlight is during a zombie game. The player who is recognized as the weakest and has been bitten, thanks to his perseverance, wins and moves on.
Viewers love such stories and only inveterate cynics will lament their unreality.
Next, in a card game, she finds herself paired with the best player, Ace. For now, this is perceived as just luck, but let?s make a note for memory.
As a result, Neon makes it to the finals, but does not become the champion. In principle, the audience should have no complaints about her performance in her first DGP. But not to further ones.
Already in the second DGP it is introduced into the game later and immediately with a powerful buckle. She doesn't even have to run after Beat to some point on the map, Neon gets the buckle even before entering the game. We, as viewers of Kamen Rider Geats, know the reasons, but how should it be perceived by viewers of DGP.
Here I will pause to repeat again: reality TV is staged and this is common knowledge. These shows have scripts and cast actors. The ?Survivor? contestants, who eat cockroaches on camera out of hunger after they shut down, sit down to dinner instead with the film crew. The audience knows this and is willing to turn a blind eye to such things until injustice occurs. It seems that the sent actor receives immunity and someone else is kicked out instead. So after her effective appearance, Neon should have been perceived by the audience as a DPP employee, like Win. But still she was not hated.
Now let's move on to DezaStar. Not only does Neon turn out to be the same DezaStar, but the participant who finds out about this voluntarily sacrifices herself for her. The audience apparently became completely convinced that DGP was deliberately pushing her towards victory. But, nevertheless, there is no hate yet.
And here is the revelation of Beroba. Not only does this confirm Neon's connection to the DGP, but it also reveals her artificial origins.Moreover, she is conceived as ?her father?s ideal daughter.? And this is an extremely vague idea. What if, in his eyes, the ideal daughter is the winner of the DGP? That's why they give vent to their anger. Because, for them, other participants have no chance at all compared to Neon. And this deprives the reality show of its main trump card - competition.As I wrote above, the audience of such projects is ready to deal with injustice, but only as long as there remains an element of unpredictability in the project. And when the winner is known from the beginning, that?s when it starts to boil.
Well, considering that things didn?t go beyond one scene with offensive comments, the anger of ordinary fans is not something serious even in the distorting mirror of Geats? world. As well as the anger of the VIPs, which was shown in the show itself.
