There must be a reason NUE fiction became popular in a certain era, and the factors behind it are extremely complex. It can't simply be the fantasies of people who had lost their power. Its widespread acclaim in the previous era, and the fact that it still commands a substantial market today, show that this is by no means a simple issue. It is entangled with many things, including the times, the audience's living conditions, and the structure of power.
This isn't a simple matter of losing power. It should be understood as a complex psychological issue. Many people have similar fantasies even after gaining power in real life. The strongest reaction online today, the widespread distaste for NUE fiction from the past, shows that young people of our generation were generally treated better as we grew up. In other words, many of us received real love, so we no longer need to fantasize about what it means to be truly loved.
Theme: Even if nobody loves you, you should love yourself.
People who truly love you will not be willing to let you suffer. That is not the so-called Tough love. People who truly love you will find ways to alleviate the pain of your growth projects and try to make you smooth and smooth with no injuries. They will choose to let you use anesthesia during surgery instead of worrying about affecting your intelligence. When you have to give birth to a child by yourself, they will make all preparations and care for you to give birth smoothly. Therefore, all those who make you suffer severely under the guise of loving you are just doing it to satisfy their own sadistic desires.
