Chapter 3325

With Tavana's influence, once she appears in the video, the video's impact will become entertainment headlines worldwide, even news headlines.

However, doing so will inevitably affect her image to some extent.

But Tavana now insists on appearing herself, which means she is determined to get involved.

Creflo clearly understands that once the video is fully released, it will inevitably harm Tavana, but seeing her firm attitude, he also realizes that her inner resolve has changed.

Previously, she unreservedly supported everything related to LGBT, regardless of right or wrong, and without considering whether it was truly appropriate; now, she realizes that such matters are not suitable for public figures to discuss openly in public, and she also hopes that Ye Chen's criticisms of her will be seen by the world, while also alerting people worldwide who are blind to right and wrong.

Besides, Tavana has another reason for doing this: she hopes to repay Ye Chen's life-saving kindness in this way, and also to show Ye Chen that her attitude has changed.

From Ye Chen's words, she understands that Ye Chen is truly a person with social responsibility—such a person does not merely talk about social responsibility but keeps it in heart, and it is clear that he genuinely worries about misguided youth, not wanting them to be manipulated by ill-intentioned people and become their sacrifices, even paying an irreversible heavy price for a lifetime.

If so, then having Creflo upload this video online is equivalent to helping Ye Chen speak to the world, and he knows Ye Chen should feel relieved.

At this moment, Creflo also looks at Tavana with new eyes.

He also feels a growing respect for her decision in his heart.

So he said to Tavana: "Since you've decided, I'll process the video shortly and send it out."

Tavana nodded, gave a bitter laugh, and sighed: "Creflo, actually, I already have a rough idea in my heart of who wants me to disappear from this world; those people, before today, held the same attitude as I did and also unreservedly supported those sexual minorities, so from this we can see that many people who appear righteous on the surface may not be kind-hearted inside, so I want you to upload the video so that those who, like me, have been deceived can realize their own problems, and I have already decided that in the future I will not make any public statements unrelated to music, my career, or my life."

Creflo immediately nodded and said: "I think the same as you— in the future, I will not only refrain from making any irrelevant statements, but also keep distance from those who constantly proclaim their stance, and as for those who are obstinate and unrepentant, they too should wake up."

……

Since Tavana's evening performance will start on time as scheduled, the party ended informally at five o'clock in the afternoon.

Tavana needs to do extensive performance preparations, including makeup, costumes, props, and final confirmations for the band and backup dancers, so she and Creflo bid farewell to everyone at five o'clock and left the party venue directly for the backstage.

As for the remaining guests, since they still need to watch the performance at seven o'clock in the evening, Mitsui Yoshitaka specially arranged a buffet, allowing all guests to eat and chat in small groups.

Ye Chen, Xiao Churan, and Dong Ruolin naturally sat together at a table with Fei Keixin and Carrie West.

Mitsui Yoshitaka came over to greet them politely, then went to mingle with other guests; just as the buffet was halfway through, Fei Keixin's phone suddenly received a push notification from an American video software, titled: "Tavana·Svet's video debating LGBT with a mysterious person in Tokyo leaked."

She said in surprise: "Mr. Ye, it seems the video of your previous debate with Tavana has been uploaded online!"

"Is that so?" Ye Chen smiled and said: "Open it and see if they've mosaicked us for us."

Fei Keixin opened the push and clearly saw in the video that besides Tavana, everyone else including Ye Chen had been mosaicked.

So she placed her phone on the table for everyone to watch conveniently, and said: "The video is mosaicked, so unless someone is familiar with Mr. Ye's voice, otherwise it's impossible to know this person is you."

Ye Chen nodded, watching the video on the phone play bit by bit; the video can be seen as shot from Creflo's angle at that time, and Creflo indeed did not reduce any content of the video as he said.

After the video finished playing, Fei Keixin immediately opened the comment section; at this time, the comment section did not have much valuable content, mostly consisting of some emoji replies, similar in effect to domestic netizens' habit of rushing to grab the sofa.

This may be because many people hadn't had time to watch the video and just posted comments first; about ten to twenty seconds later, the comment section's comments began to grow rapidly at a visible speed, and the growth was also all those comments with substantive content.

In the comment section, the debate between the two quickly showed a one-sided trend, with most people replying under this video that the mosaicked mysterious man's words were reasonable and well-founded, especially feeling that Ye Chen's point—"not protection, but production of LGBT"—touched many people's hearts deeply.

Moreover, Tavana's performance in the video was indeed poor—her eloquence, logic, and arguments were completely overwhelmed by the mysterious man, which made viewers unconsciously feel that Tavana was like an unreasonably troublesome child.

Not only that, because of Ye Chen's argument about minors, when viewers came to identify with him, they would also subconsciously think that Tavana's previous unreserved promotion of those theories in public was actually poisoning many minors.

This immediately brought Tavana a lot of criticism.

Fortunately, Tavana has a huge number of fans worldwide; besides those who like her, there are also some who like her songs but neither like nor dislike her, and these people's attitude toward Tavana is relatively mild; they know Tavana previously did many things that were somewhat inappropriate, but they will not therefore launch large-scale attacks against her.

Of course, there are also many voices in the comments unreservedly supporting Tavana; these people may be Tavana's loyal fans, or may be sexual minorities who have always been cared for by Tavana; even though Ye Chen already said in the video that he respects LGBT but does not want public figures to overemphasize it in front of the public, nor wants ill-intentioned people to exploit this loophole for other gains, these angry users still fiercely attack Ye Chen in the forum, even giving him a hat accusing him of lacking respect for LGBT, or even opposing LGBT.

However, these voices have a small weight in the comment section; once they appear, they are usually drowned out by the large number of voices supporting Ye Chen.

Even the British author Rowling, who has long been under attack, shared this video on social media and added a caption: "The words spoken by this mysterious man are exactly what I have always wanted to express, but many celebrities like Tavana treat LGBT as if it were a deity, not allowing anyone to desecrate it, nor even allowing anyone to question any inappropriate behavior toward this group, so they have always publicly attacked me or even boycotted me—this itself is a kind of position kidnapping, and I have long had enough of these people's actions! Moreover, what I am most concerned about now is, after I post this tweet today, how those public figures who previously attacked me en masse will next attack me; perhaps they have already realized their problems and thus begun to stay silent—let us wait and see."

After this tweet was posted, many netizens expressed support for Rowling in the comment section and also specifically @-ed those public figures who had previously publicly attacked and blamed Rowling, including those actors who became famous by playing Rowling's book characters; these actors had previously unreservedly publicly boycotted Rowling, even wanting to remove her from the story she herself created, but now, after watching that video and Rowling's tweet, each of them became speechless.

At this time, none of them dare to publicly attack Rowling again, because Tavana has now become the target of everyone's criticism, and if any of them jumped out at this moment to attack Rowling, they would very likely also suffer global netizens' condemnation like Tavana.

At this moment, Tavana in the dressing room was silently browsing those online comments; beside her, Creflo, after reading many comments, couldn't help but ask Tavana: "Dear, the current public opinion is unfavorable to you, you must absolutely not let them affect your mindset."

After saying that, Creflo immediately comforted her: "Fortunately, most people are relatively tolerant of you; as long as you don't make any public statements in the future, everyone should realize you have already changed."

Tavana put down her phone, earnestly said: "The video's trend being unfavorable to me proves I was indeed wrong before; I hope the spread of this video can let more people understand the essence of this matter, let many people like me realize their mistakes, and also let them know that it's not too late to turn back from the wrong path."
