The need to protect culture and art from corrupt celebrities! / An opportunity created by disturbances in the cultural field

Political group of Fars News Agency: farEarlier, the judiciary announced that following some unsubstantiated comments about the recent events and also the publication of provocative material in support of street riots, some celebrities, including Elnaz Shakerdoost, Mitra Hajjar, Baran Kothari, Sima Tirandaz, Hengameh Ghaziani and… They were summoned to Tehran Prosecutor’s Office. Following this news yesterday, the news of the arrest of some media personalities was also reported.

Since the riots, several campaigns have been registered in Fars Man system of Fars news agency to deal with the lying of celebrities. In response to the people’s request, many officials asked the judiciary to deal with lying and spreading provocative news without appeasement.

A necessity higher than judicial action

Judicial dealing with this issue is definitely necessary, but it is not enough. In the first days of the riots, in response to some actions of celebrities, the Minister of Education said: “We are at the service of all people of culture and art, and the umbrella of the government and the system includes all people of culture and art, except those who are Egyptian themselves, who are not under this umbrella.” »

Why cupping is necessary in the field of culture and art?

The cultural and media flow of the country suffered for years from the presence of some corrupt people and due to various reasons, it was not possible to refine it. With the spread of virtual space and social networks, the private lives of these people became public. The personal pages of this group brought their dark lives to the audience and revealed some of their hidden aspects. Addiction, unusual relationships, living with animals, multiple unsuccessful marriages and frequent divorces, and their sick lifestyle in general, were exposed to everyone.

The blind imitation of this movement from western manifestations was so much that in the case of the “MeToo” campaign, without thinking about the consequences of this campaign, they presented themselves as victims of rape and sexual assault and proudly talked about the disaster that had happened to them in the media. Ash became so passionate that they themselves realized how much their dignity and character has lost color in the eyes of the people, and people protested against this process so that this campaign does not continue.

This cultural situation, along with corruption and economic money laundering of this current, an example of which was made public in the Shahrazad project, had created a cultural-economic black hole.

Meanwhile, these people are also seeking to play a role in the political and social scenes of the country. In a situation where the country needs more than ever to clarify and take care not to promote lies and baseless claims, these people become claimants of news and narratives that become a fire to the sedition that the society is caught in.

In these recent disturbances, the performance of this stream was worth considering in several ways:

1- Promoting ambiguity: If we review the posts on the virtual pages of some celebrities, we will notice that one of the common features of this movement in the face of the recent disturbances was creating doubt and ambiguity and sometimes inducing a counter-narrative towards the realities of society. In the same case of Izeh, one of the movie characters who was on the list of those summoned yesterday by the judiciary initially published a post on his page claiming that the police officers were the perpetrators of the assassination, and an hour later he deleted this post and replaced it with a new one. There are many such cases in the last two months.

2- Promoting hatred against the system: Most of the posts published by this stream had a common axis: hatred towards the rule of religion and Islam! This current aligned with the counter-revolution tried to attribute the problems and weaknesses of the country to the religiousness of the government and propagated the way of salvation in the separation of religion from politics.

3- Coordinated action: Most of the celebrities did not show any reaction in the incident of Shahcheragh and martyrs like Arsham, as if it was a common agenda that none of them should get involved in this issue. Meanwhile, in the case of the assassination of Izeh city, this current has entered the scene and the sharp blade of their undocumented claims has turned against the police officers.

4- Drawing lines from embassies: The coordinated action of this flow is not accidental. The numerous connections of these people with the embassies of foreign countries and the coordinated action with the hostile media, which comes from the common think tank of these countries, can strengthen a logical conclusion, and that is that this stream takes its media line from foreign enemies.

5- Threatening pro-regime artists or even neutral artists: The main body of the country’s artists are healthy and honorable people. These people are repeatedly threatened by the flow of corrupt celebrities to enter the cycle of accusations against the system. In fact, the enemy has designed a system of punishment and encouragement to manage celebrities, and with this model, he has practically turned them into his tools. On the one hand, he encourages them with red carpets and awards, and citizenship and residency, and on the other hand, he reminds them with threats and intimidation that they only have to play in his scenario.

In a situation where the field of culture and art of the country needs to refine this flow and the inaction of the guardians for years became a factor in the continued presence of such people in the cultural field of the country, the created atmosphere helped to prepare the preparations for the purification of this polluted flow from the original and pure artistic body of the country. This incident should be taken advantage of along with judicial action and holding these people accountable for their baseless claims.

But the important thing beyond judicial treatment and their complete purge from all platforms and advertising platforms is their explanation to the people about the accusations they have made. The people who made false accusations should prove their accusations in front of the camera so that people can know their true nature and their level of thinking and literacy more fully.
