So if manga is a language, as Cohn says, then we have to admit that visual language carries cultural values. And in East Asia, those values often reflect deeply rooted patriarchal ideas.

When Halloween came around,everyone fought over who got to be Lucia, and arguments broke out when costumes overlapped.For kids that young, this became a miniature version of gender expectations.Without any critical sense, children simply absorb it as unspoken knowledge about what being a girl means.

For us, it not just linked the show. We began using the characters as our standards for what girls should look like: big eyes, long legs, tiny waists, romantic personalities, always needing love and often needing to be saved.

Trough these scripts(or lines), allows children to build their understanding of beauty or gender awareness of the world.
I felt like this kind of “visual socialization” when I was in kindergarten. There is a famous example, called “マーメイドメロディーぴちぴちピッチ(Mermaid Melody Pichi Pichi Pitch)“.

Because for me, I seldom read manga. But I like the adaption on TV. And both manga and it's adoption have huge influence on children. The visual of them show the appreciation of the beauty on children. They have big eyes, long legs, thin, girls always wear short skirt while boys are in suit.

And that's why China strives in AI idols industry. Not only shows China's tech development, also the virtual idols are easier to "control."

When entertainment, politics, and capital are tightly intertwined, how much room remains for genuine personal freedom? Celebrity life becomes an institutionalized performance, and even audience emotions are quietly funneled toward specific political narratives.

The Tzuyu( one memeber in Twice) incident is emblematic: a single Taiwanese flag became a trigger point not because of entertainment, but because of political boundaries. It illustrates that a celebrity has no true neutrality in cross-national politics.

Celebrities may appear influential due to their visibility, yet that influence must align with state or market norms. Otherwise, it can be halted or erased at any moment.

Their visibility is not natural, nor is it the outcome of a free market. Celebrities in China are expected to maintain “civilization” and “harmony.” Chinese celebrities are expected to continually perform loyalty to the nation in the public sphere. It shows that they are kind of belongings by China.

Gender equality cannot be achieved simply by electing more women or appointing female leaders if the underlying structures remain unchanged.

whereas men can separate personal failings from professional success. However, the issue extends beyond individual morality. When societies judge female public figures more harshly than men, they reinforce an unequal moral economy.

When a female celebrity is involved, her reputation is destroyed. She is labeled “immoral” or “shameless,” while the man’s career often recovers quickly. Media narratives reinforce the belief that women’s worth is tied to purity and moral virtue,

Another thins is that the same gendered double standards appear in celebrity scandals. When a male celebrity is caught in an affair, it is often described as a “momentary lapse” or even a sign of “charisma.”

This sentiment is prevalent in South Korean society, and many, even mainstream, believe that the rise of feminism creates "anti-discrimination" against men.

In the comments section of news reports about the movie "Kim Ji-young, Born 1982," more criticisms of the film's content are seen than supportive comments. "I really can't understand why women feel wronged about 'raising children alone.' Don't men also 'work alone'?"

Not only Jung Yu-mi, who played Kim Jiyoung, been flooded with negative comments on her social media account, but also a Kpop idol - Irene in Red Velvet, was also attacked by netizens for publicly stating that she had read the book, and there were even posts burning her photos.

Instead, it makes them feel guilty for achieving it. However, with the rise of feminist consciousness, misogyny seems to be intensifying in South Korean society. (BTW, "Kim Jiyoung, Born 1982" was reproduced from a same name novel.)

Yet her experiences that leaving work after childbirth, being told what a “good woman” should be, reveal how patriarchy operates through subtle moral obligations. As many critics have noted, patriarchy in contemporary societies does not necessarily forbid women’s success.
