Last Sunday evening, Everybody talks about it received the star of the month, the author of District 31Luc Dionne.
A few days earlier, I had dared to formulate a criticism in a text published by The duty, “It’s not always easy to be a man in District 31 “. I was quoting a male character from the popular series who criticized feminist discourse.
I say “dared” to criticize Luc Dionne, because it is not easy to do so as there is a strong current of unanimity towards him. Everyone praises this series, and especially its author. In my text, I admitted to following her regularly. Before making my review, I even took care to re-listen religiously to all the episodes. My review went like this: the daily series often angered me for its macho treatment of certain situations, most notably its treatment of topics such as domestic violence and sexual assault.
Of course, this story clashed with the avalanche of praise received by Luc Dionne in these weeks when the characters of District 31 bow out.
Being interviewed at Everybody talks about itthe host, Guy A. Lepage, formulated the following beginning of the question: “This week in The duty, Dominique Legault, a retired lawyer, criticized the series because it would have a macho treatment of certain situations, such as domestic violence and sexual assault. “Luc Dionne, visibly exasperated that he is being disrespected in this way, reacted with deep contempt for “the small claims of those without a microphone”. In passing, he allowed himself to despise the readership of the To have to and people who express opinions in its pages. The author has had six years to assert his opinions and his vision, so why shouldn’t we, the microphoneless, have the right to issue ours?
His reaction was heartbreaking. Allowing criticism of the “untouchables” is part of the public debate, Luc Dionne.
