What is the meaning of this scene?_f0401719_23153850.jpg

In ''Limitless Paradise'', there is a scene in which the main character touches another man's shoulders in the middle of the crowd, and the other man glares at the main character while clicking his tongue.
Things like this have continued for Harada ever since he moved to Tokyo at the age of 19.
Harada is constantly hurled insults at him by strange men who pass by him.
For decades, Harada didn't understand why such a relationship existed, but recently he finally understood why.

Harada is extremely short (like Wonder Masamitsu).
At school, short students are made to sit at the front.
When Harada was a child, he was always forced to sit in the front row of the classroom.
Human beings, especially conservative Japanese men over the age of 40, look down on and intimidate those who are weaker than them.
For example, when they touch shoulders in town, they judge in the first second whether the other person is taller or weaker than them, and whether they are stronger or weaker than themselves.
After realizing that someone is weaker than you, you can intimidate them as you see fit.
This act makes them feel refreshed.

They would never do such a disrespectful act to someone stronger than them, such as an American soldier, a gangster, or a professional wrestler.
They act in an overbearing manner towards those who are weaker than them or towards women.
They bully those who are weaker than them to feel lighthearted and feel superior.

Incidentally, indiscriminate murders occur on the streets from time to time in Japan, and many of the victims are women and children.

In recent years, the reality of older men's derogatory attitudes toward women has been made visible one after another by young women who have made accusations on social media.
However, many types of harassment have not become a social problem because weak men cannot denounce their weaknesses.
For example, conservative Japanese people (especially the Japanese government) flatter the American government, which is stronger than them, but treat Asian people with contempt.

These problems are partly due to the fact that Japan has adopted a patriarchal system that favors men and despises women throughout its long history.
Since the Japanese government stubbornly promotes patriarchy and continues to make laws and statements related to it, it is extremely difficult to make improvements.
However, if Harada were tall and strong and had no worries or suffering, he would not have created works for the weak.
