I watched NHK's "Heian Period Summit 2024: Was it really "Heian"?

It's a so-called "promotion program" for this year's history drama, but it was interesting.

This time, I received three of them.

-----

(1) "Curses in the Heian period and social networking sites today are the same."

I thought, "That's a supreme word.

Social networking slander is not a physical attack, yet it has the power to kill.

What shall we call this without calling it a curse?

After all, it is better to stay away from social networking sites.

(2) "It is already common knowledge that Hikaru Genji is a scumbag.

Yeah, now, this is no longer debatable, the guy is a scumbag.

(3) "If you replace "Hikaru Genji" with "fave", we can recognize its existence.

I know this "fave," but I don't know what the above phrase means, so I asked my wife.

Me: "Does this mean you don't care if he's a bum as long as he's your "fave" that you support?"

Wife: "Right." A "fave" is someone who is allowed to do whatever he wants."

I still didn't understand it well, but I did understand that "fave" is scary.

-----

I am still wondering about the question,

Why did The Tale of Genji escape censorship and a publication ban?"

Because that story is a parade of disrespect to the imperial family.

I don't know if there was a crime of disrespect at the time, but I don't think it was when disrespect for the royal family was tolerated.

How could he get the wife (Fujitsubo) of the emperor (Kiritsubo) pregnant and then become the child's guardian? I am tempted to say, "What kind of "mendicancy" is this?

-----

Furthermore, I don't understand that Emperor Ichijo was a "lover of the Tale of Genji."

(The explanation of the relationship between Emperor Ichijo and the Fujiwara clan will be cut (please Google)).

Even though it was fiction, did Emperor Ichijo ever think that his family lineage was being insulted in the greatest possible way?

I am unsure I understand this part very well, so I would be glad if someone familiar with "Tale of Genji Literature" could explain it.

-----

By the way, there is one interpretation that answers my question above. That means,

"The Tale of Genji was an otherworldly fantasy of its time."

Or, it is a parallel worldline interpretation that the real world (alpha worldline) was similar to another world (beta worldline).

Here, I would like to propose a new interpretation of

"The Tale of Genji ≒ Steins;Gate."
