After all, according to what the host said on the show, these marchers demanded that Mantansha apologize to them and publicly promised not to discriminate against Burakumin.

Therefore, the public relations crisis faced by Mantanshe is undoubtedly even greater!

As for myself, I just need to support him occasionally, and wait quietly for the result...

Having reached a conclusion, the haze between Akihara Hiroto's eyebrows and eyes dissipated a lot.

Mandanshe, how are you going to deal with the blame for discrimination against Burakumin?

[Chapter 154.153 "Crisis" of Mantansha]

In Neon, "bullying" is a very common phenomenon. According to the specific classification, it can be divided into campus bullying, workplace bullying and social group bullying.

But no matter what kind of bullying, it often follows certain unspoken rules, that is, when the victim speaks out and exposes the behavior of the bully, the party who was the original bully will be cast aside by others, even by other people who originally participated in the bullying. Resist those who have committed bullying.

For example, in the work "The Shape of Sound", there is a corresponding segment described: After the heroine was bullied, her parents openly found the school, and the bullying behavior of the hero was also made public.

After that, other students and teachers who also participated in the bullying behavior actually shifted all the responsibilities to the male protagonist, and even carried out "reverse" bullying on him.

Although it sounds unbelievable, this is indeed the status quo of neon society.

The same is true for the social issue of Burakumin.

Although the mainstream society has adopted an attitude of resistance to it, it will always only "scorn" it privately on the Internet. In addition, it is to express its discrimination through special means such as differential treatment.

In other words, if the bullying of the "burakumin" group is exposed, the individual or group as the bully may often suffer a very serious crisis of credibility, and may even be thrown into trouble by other groups.

After all, although Burakumin are discriminated against, their number is also in the millions, accounting for one-thirtieth of the entire Neon population.

Moreover, in recent years, the political power of the Burakumin has also continued to sprout and grow, and the voices of sympathy and support from the people have also continued to rise.

Therefore, Mantansha, which bears the title of "discrimination against Burakumin", is now facing this "crisis" in credibility.

……

Chiyoda Ward, Mandansha Headquarters, Public Relations Bureau.

Kento Furukawa saw the dense crowd surrounding the Mandansha headquarters through the gap in the blinds, and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.

Damn it, how did Hiroto Akihara get involved with the tribal people? What happened?

According to Takei Kohei, "blocking" Akihara Yuto was purely for "killing chickens to warn monkeys".

How to turn left and turn right is involved in politics again!

And the death of Hiroto Akihara's "The Reasoner", which was obviously published very late!

Furukawa Kento turned around and started walking back and forth in the office.

As a high-level executive in the PR bureau, he didn't regard Akihara Yuto's matter as a very difficult issue.

Even if the other party used some small tricks, Mandanshe could still counter it.The reason for not taking countermeasures is simply that it is not cost-effective to spend too much money.

But when this matter turned into discrimination against the "burakumin", it was not as simple as before...

what can we do about it?

Furukawa Kento subconsciously frowned.

At this moment, the "Dinglingling" phone rang, Kento Furukawa stopped thinking, and picked up the phone.

A familiar voice came from the microphone, it was the vice president Seiji Yokoyama.

Seiji Yokoyama said in an anxious tone: "Professor Furukawa, you have seen the current situation, and it must be resolved as soon as possible. Just now, the president and the members of the board of directors have notified me that this problem must be resolved immediately, and the speed must be as soon as possible!"

Now he is upset. As the leader directly in charge of the editorial bureau, he must be responsible for all the actions of his subordinates.

And the matter of Hiroto Akihara was indeed brought about by Daigo Kihara and Kohei Takei.

These two people are indeed under his control.

So if this public relations crisis is not handled well, he will bear considerable responsibility.

"The subordinates understand that the PR Bureau is already contacting the major media. When the parade outside is over, a corresponding press conference will be held immediately to prove that the Mandansha has absolutely no discrimination against the Burakumin." Furukawa Kento replied.

Hearing these words, Yokoyama Seiji was not very satisfied, after all, this move was a bit too passive.

He thought for a while, and then asked again: "Has Yuuto Akihara replied? Can you let him issue a statement of understanding as soon as possible."

The source of everything lies in Akihara Yuto, as long as he can stand up and make it clear, then the credibility crisis that Mantansha is currently facing can be reduced by half immediately.

Furukawa Kento hesitated for a moment, and then replied: "Akihara Hiroto said he was still considering it, and he said he wanted to look at it first."

Look again?Hearing this explanation, Yokoyama Seiji laughed angrily.

The longer this matter is delayed, the greater the impact on Mandanshe's crisis...

After all, publishing houses are engaged in the cultural industry, and a very important point in the cultural industry is to take into account the public's attitude.

Kento Furukawa also heard his superior's dissatisfaction, so he immediately said: "We are continuing to speed up the communication with Akihara Hiroto. Besides, we have prepared other backup plans. Next step..."

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Yokoyama Seiji, "Okay, wait for the specific plan to be sent to my office. Again, I just need to get results as soon as possible, no matter what method!!"

After saying this, Seiji Yokoyama hung up the phone roughly...

Kento Furukawa fell silent when he heard the sound of the phone being hung up. After a while, he dialed another number.

"Hey, is this Teacher Yuzhi Seto, I want to ask you something..."

……

At the same time, Maki Satake, who was at Anjiu Bookstore, was confused when he watched the news of the parade on TV...

Like most people, she is not very clear about the specific reasons why Mantansha suppressed Akihara Yuto.

The last time she saw Hiroto Akihara was on the day of the Newcomer Award Ceremony for Mystery Literature, but after that day, a series of events happened.

From Hiroto Akihara denouncing the injustice of Mandansha at the awards ceremony, to the editor named Aiko Asano saying in a TV interview that Mandansha was fraudulent, and now the Burakumin political group parade...

The occurrence of various events made her feel a little dazzled.

So Mantan Club's suppression of Mr. Akihara, is it workplace bullying, or is it a suppression of Burakumin?

It's really strange why the opinions of all parties are not uniform!

"It turned out that Mr. Akihara was suppressed because he supported the Burakumin." Sota Nishijima, who was sitting next to him watching TV together, put forward his opinion.

"But Mr. Akihara, why didn't he say it before?" Satake Maki was still a little dubious.

Sota Nishijima shrugged.
