悪質な噂・デマへの対処法として、大昔成程！と手を打った方法が何故か少女コミックに載って居ました。
ここ数年、私の応援しているBTSが所属するHYBEが、BTSに対する悪質なデマやヘイト動画を告訴し、続々と成果をあげて居ます。
同様に私個人も悪質な噂の被害に遭った事もありますし、Pro.O.先生も同様の経験があります。
又、私の住む日本でも数十年間に渡り、誰もが知るスターが若い頃から不愉快極まり無い、事実無根なデマを立てられ続け、私も現実社会で耳にしたことがありました。
「そんな訳ないじゃん」
「本当らしいよ」
「何で？」
「衣装さんが言ってたって」
というモノ。
衣装さんの事を現在ではスタイリストと呼ぶのは、視聴者層である一般社会の人々も知って居ますので、まだスタイリストという名前が一般社会だけで無く、芸能界全体に通って無かった頃に、このデマが発生した事が分かります。
少女漫画に載って居た方法はこうでした。
主人公達の妹が大学で、手当たり次第に男性とお付き合いをする女だ。と噂が広まります。
誰が言っているかも分からない。
妹が最近元気が無いのに気づいた兄の友人がその噂を聞いて、女性が非常に傷つく内容ですので、本人に確認を取る時も、確か兄と頼りになる友人男性2人とで妹に事実確認を行います。
当時の日本では、結婚前の女性がこのような噂を立てられるのは大変当人にとって侮辱であり本人のせいでは無いのに、社会的に非常に不利な立場となり本人の品性を侮辱された上、人生が変わってしまう程のことでした。
始めた人間の汚らしさだけが浮き彫りになるデマであっても、ターゲットにされた人物の就職活動にも響く、それ程の悪質な噂でした。
妹は当然気がついて居ましたが、誰が始めたのかも分からないし、詳しく聞こうと大声で彼女に聞こえるように話す集団に近寄ると、話者達はサッと逃げてしまう。
妹は、良いよ、放っとけば。と膝を抱えて俯いて居ます。
但し、これは放っといてはご本人の生活に悪影響が出る、著しく重大な実害のあるデマです。
ふと、友人の誰かが同じクラスの名簿ある？と言い出し、高校では無いので、同じ学年の同期生全員の名簿しかないと言われ、それは尚更、好都合だと電話を掛け始めます。
妹さんと兄の苗字を仮にAとします。
友人の男性をQとします。
「もしもし〇〇さんですか？ 僕はAさんご兄妹の友人でQといいます。×××の者です。電話番号はこれです。後で確認して下さい。実はAさんが大学内で悪質な噂を立てられているのですがご存じですか？ え？ 知らない。分かりました。もし噂にAさんの名前が入って居たらそれは嘘ですので。はい、失礼します。」
3回目程で知っているという人にぶつかります。
「それ、誰から聞きました？ 同じ女子大ですか？」
「〇〇さんですか。分かりました。その方にも電話をかけて確認を取ります。言っていいですか？ 良かった。僕の名前はQです。Aさんのデマの件、それ違いますのでよろしくお願いします。」
「これで全女子大学の生徒に聞くんだ。誰から聞いたか？ そしてそいつにまた掛ける。掛ける度にAさんのデマは嘘です。違いますので」
と言うんだ。
そして最後はそのデマの最初の話者に辿り着き、喫茶店で話を聞き、「次は警察に届け出ますから」と妹さん不在で話を着けます。
なんて良いやり方だろう。と当時いたく感心した私は小学生でした。
その話を何とProf.O.先生も読んだことがあったそうで、さらに驚くべき事実を確認したんです。
これはQさんのモデルとなった人物が、私とProf.O.先生が知っていて当然の秀れた人物だったんです。
私はQさんのこの方法を、デマが広範囲に広がり情報を持っている人数が大多数に広がってしまった時こそ、徹底してやるべきだと今日ここに書きます。
先程、衣装さんが言って居た、というデマを、最初に誰でも良いので、この話を知っているか？と尋ねた人物から1人1人着々と辿って行くんです。
それはデマですよ。全く違います。撮影に使った衣装はスターが袖を通した衣装ということで、転売され何百万もの値が付いてしまうトラブルを防ぐために、店に降ろさないようにして居ました。
と伝えていくんです。
当時、この事情をを知る人々はごく限られて居ました。
私は時間が経って居ても探すべきだと思います。
最初の話者に報復したい訳では無く、相手がスターだからと言って辿れない訳では無い。悪質なデマを広範囲で広めたら、探せず途方に暮れるだろう、というその人物の暗い願望を圧し折って（へしおって）やるべきだと思います。

Pro.O.です。
僕も同様の過去があります。
エナメルも同じ気持ちを抱えて居た事が沢山あり、今でも大切な友人が彼女の過去のことで胸を痛めてると「放っとけば良いんですよ」と吐き捨てる癖が残って居ます。
僕はこういった事は、一種の社会的殺人だと考えて居ます。
上記の彼女は、恐ろしい憎悪のターゲットにされました。
彼女は黙って、大学生でもこんな目に遭うのだと考えながら下校するシーンが描かれて居ます。
僕も大学で同様のターゲットにされました。
エナメルは豪快に笑ってくれて心底穏やかな気になりましたが、性的にだらしがないという噂でした。
僕もこの方法を摂るべきだと提案します。
芸能の方々頑張って下さい。
エナメルは頑張ってという言葉は応援だと、当時果敢にも書きました。
多くのインターネットプレイヤーが賛同しました。
僕の記憶にも残って居ます。
Prof.O.
多くない場合は、すぐに警察に連絡して下さい。
確認済みです。すみやかに上記の方法を摂るそうです。

Rains in Heaven / Great Hacking テーマ曲（非公式）
Rains in Heavenという楽曲をGreat Hacking のテーマ曲にすることに決めました。
O.先生も大賛成して下さっています。
この楽曲は、お隣の国 韓国のNCT DREAMの曲です。
「君が泣くと、天国で雨が降る。」
という歌詞です。
私はこんな素敵な感性に初めて触れました。
優しく、天国にいる方達は貴方の味方だと告げる楽曲です。
私達がやっているGreat Hackingの理由に通じる楽曲だと思います。

Similarly, I myself have been the victim of malicious rumors, and Pro.O. has had similar experiences. Also, here in Japan where I live, for several decades, a well-known star has been the target of extremely unpleasant, baseless rumors since their youth—rumors I’ve even heard firsthand in everyday life.
“There’s no way that’s true.”
“Apparently it’s true.”
“Why?”
“The costume designer said so.”
That’s the gist of it. Here’s the method described in a shōjo manga:A rumor begins to spread that the protagonists’ younger sister is a woman who dates any man she can get her hands on at college.
No one knows who started it.
“There’s no way that’s true.”
“Apparently it’s true.”
“Why?”
“The costume designer said so.”
That’s the gist of it.
Since even the general public—who make up the show’s audience—now knows that “costume designers” are referred to as “stylists,” it’s clear that this rumor originated back when the term “stylist” hadn’t yet become widespread, not just among the general public but throughout the entertainment industry as a whole.
No one knows who started it.
A friend of the older brother, who had noticed his younger sister seemed down lately, heard this rumor. Since the content was extremely hurtful to a woman, when it came time to verify the facts with her, the older brother and two trusted male friends went together to confirm the details with her. The Younger sister had, of course, noticed it, but she didn’t know who had started it. Whenever she tried to get closer to the group—speaking loudly so they could hear her—to ask for details, they would quickly scatter.
In Japan at that time, for an unmarried woman to be the subject of such rumors was a grave insult to her; even though it wasn’t her fault, it placed her in a very disadvantageous social position. Not only was her character disparaged, but it was enough to completely change the course of her life.
Even though it was just a rumor that only highlighted the sordid nature of the person who started it, it was such a malicious rumor that it even affected the targeted person’s job search.
The younger sister is sitting with her arms wrapped around her knees, looking down, and says, “It’s fine. Just leave it alone.”
However, this is a rumor that, if left unchecked, could have a negative impact on the person’s life—it’s a rumor that causes significant, serious harm.
Just then, one of my friends asked, “Does anyone have a class roster?” Since we weren’t in high school, I was told there was only a roster of everyone in our grade, but I thought that was even better, so I started making some calls.
This is Pro.O.
For simplicity, let’s call the younger sister and her older brother “A.”
We'll refer to the male friend as “Q.”
“Hello, is this Ms. XX? I’m Q, a friend of Mr. and Ms. A. I’m with XXXX. Here’s my phone number. Please check it later. Actually, some malicious rumors are circulating about Mr. A on campus—are you aware of that? Huh? You don’t know? I see. If Mr. A’s name comes up in any rumors, please know that they’re false. That’s all, thank you.”
“Hello, is this Ms. XX? I’m Q, a friend of Mr. and Ms. A. I’m with XXXX. Here’
“Who told you that? Is it someone from the same women’s college?”
“Is this Ms. XX? Got it. I’ll call her to confirm as well. Is it okay if I tell her? Great. My name is Q. Regarding Ms. A’s false rumor—that’s not true, so please keep that in mind.”
“I’ll ask every student at all the women’s colleges. ‘Who told you that?’ And then I’ll call that person back. Every time I call, I’ll say, ‘Ms. A’s rumor is a lie. It’s not true.’”
That’s what he said.
Finally, he tracked down the person who first spread the rumor, spoke with him at a coffee shop, and—with his sister not present—concluded the conversation by saying, “Next time, I’ll report this to the police.”
“What a great approach,” I thought, deeply impressed—even as an elementary school student at the time.
It turns out that Prof. O. had actually read that story as well, and he confirmed an even more surprising fact.
The person who served as the model for “Q” was an outstanding individual whom Prof. O. and I would naturally have known.
I’m writing here today to say that Q’s method should be applied thoroughly precisely when a rumor has spread widely and the number of people who have received the information has grown to include the vast majority.
As I mentioned earlier, you trace the rumor—the one about the costume—back to the very first person anyone would ask.
I’m writing here today to say that Q’s method should be applied thoroughly precisely when a rumor has spread widely and the number of people who have received the information has grown to include the vast majority.
That’s a rumor. It’s completely untrue. The costumes used in the filming were ones the star had actually worn, so to prevent them from being resold for millions, we made sure they weren’t sent to stores.
That’s what I’ll keep telling people.
That’s what I’ll keep telling people.
At the time, only a very limited number of people were aware of these circumstances.
I think we should keep looking for them, even as time goes by.
It’s not that I want to get back at the person who started this;
It’s just that being a star doesn’t mean they’re untouchable.
I think we should crush—literally crush—that person’s dark desire to see others left helpless and unable to track them down after they’ve spread malicious rumors far and wide.
Enamel from Brilliant Rain Morning with Crow.
I’ve been through something similar myself. I was targeted in a similar way in college, too.
Enamel laughed heartily, which made me feel truly at ease, but there were rumors that she was sexually promiscuous. I also suggest taking this approach.
I wish the entertainers the best of luck. At the time, I boldly wrote that the phrase “Enamel, do your best” was meant as encouragement.
Many online users agreed.
It has stayed with me as well.
There were many times when Enamel felt the same way, and even now, when a dear friend of mine is heartbroken over something from her past, I still have a habit of snapping, “Just let it go.”
The woman mentioned above became the target of terrible hatred.
There’s a scene where she walks home in silence, thinking to herself that even college students can be subjected to this kind of treatment.

If there aren't many, please contact the police immediately.
This has been confirmed. They say they will take the above measures promptly.That's all.
Rains in Heaven / Great Hacking theme song (unofficial)
We have decided to use the song Rains in Heaven as the theme song for Great Hacking.

The lyrics are "When you cry, it rains in heaven.
I have never seen such a beautiful sensibility before.
It is a song that gently tells you that those in heaven are on your side.
