#74【騒ぎすぎ!?方言禁止会見】Are We Overreacting to "Dialect Ban Conference" Challenge on TV?
Hitai people! *English below
1月18日に放送された「櫻井・有吉THE夜会」(TBS系)で、女優、二階堂ふみに「方言禁止」というルールで記者会見をさせるという趣向のコーナーを放送したところ、「沖縄差別」につながるという批判が一部で起きることとなった。 -デイリー新潮-
放送前から物議を醸していた企画だけに、視聴者も多かったのではないでしょうか。
世代別、出身別、歴史に対する知見の差で、この話題に対して世間の見方は「差別的」vs「気にしすぎ」に偏るのかな、と。
(人によるけど)おそらく前情報無しであれば、単純に楽しめるコンテンツだったかもしれない。
けど、指摘されてジワジワと自分の見解が見えてくることもある。
「気にしすぎ」という意見ももちろん自由。
でも過去には実際に方言を話すことで処罰されたり、辱めを受けた経験を持つ人たちもいる。何でその歴史が刻まれたか忘れてはいけないし、不感症になってはいけない。
Did anything similar happen in other regions??
The program content from the variety show "Sakurai-Ariyoshi THE Night Meeting" (TBS network) aired on January 18, 2024, has sparked controversy on social media. The content featured Fumi Nikaido, an actor from Okinawa, taking on a "Dialect Ban Press Conference" challenge.
After the show's official X account posted a promotional tweet on January 17, it received critical responses by January 22, stirring controversy with comments like:
"The insensitivity of allowing such a content to pass. Are they unaware of the 'dialect tags,' a form of discrimination against Okinawa?"
"It's outright colonialist and harsh to make someone from Okinawa do a 'Dialect Ban Press Conference.'"
When J-CAST News inquired with TBS's PR & IR department on January 22 about the production background, intentions behind the content, reception of the criticism, future responses, and measures to prevent recurrence, they replied:
"The program content was intended to test whether actors, who can perfectly perform any role, might still be inadvertently drawn to their native dialects. It was based on similar content with another actor that was well-received in the past, and we did not sufficiently consider the historical context of Okinawa. We take the feedback that this was discriminatory very seriously and will utilize it in future program production."
However, it's delicate to gauge how much sympathy these criticisms have garnered.
Judging by the comments on internet news articles covering this "flame war," the majority seems to be "It's not a problem" or "It's being overthought."
