Moon Channel has a really good breakdown of how bad things are in terms of gender equality in South Korea.
Dudes doing this shit just ooze little dick energy… If you get so damned pissy about anyone pinching their fingers together, go jerk off to your podcasts and leave human beings alone.
making derogatory comments about people’s penises is not feminist
Yes, but that didn’t happen here.
But it was the way the characters hand was positioned! No commentary, just a picture in a trailer for a cutesy game
The response is ridiculous, but not surprising
It is called misandry.
The headline makes it seem like it’s just gamers but it’s more about the overall gender divide in South Korea. It’s a very interesting read. Men in South Korea feel like they’re struggling to get by and women wanting fairer treatment is being seen as wanting to make things even more difficult for men. It seems like it’s heading towards a tipping point.
One big issue is that military service is mandatory for men only so they feel they are being disadvantaged doing it while their women counterparts are getting degrees and established in the job market. That part seems like it could be solved by making it compulsary for both sexes like Israel does - assuming they want to keep up military service. I don’t see how they can stop given their neighbours.
Yet more evidence that G*mers should be bullied more.
Don’t bully me, I’ll come :(
Another episode in the series: “South Korea is a dystopian hellhole”
Another example: JaeJae was promoting chocolate and held a piece between two fingers - that was taken as clearly a sign of her hate for all men.
These guys know they don’t have to interact with shit they don’t like right? If a game has something you don’t like not only do you not have to play the game, but nobody is going to force you to do it. It’s not like they were gonna play it anyway.
I mean, have you encountered these Real Gamers™ before? They go out of their way to be enraged at this stuff. It’s all deliberate.
That’s not exclusive to Real Gamers™
And most of them truly don’t play them, just parroting what someone told them or even straight up making shit up about what the game contains.
Perhaps a) social media should not be anonymous and b) death threats should be illegal. I know I’m stating super obvious things here but given how this is still a thing…
a) social media should not be anonymous
I believe anonymous social media can work but only up to a certain size. Current system opens up societies to fabricated influence campaigns by the oligarchs, domestic and foreign state agencies, all kinds of organised whackos and just regular assholes with zero accountability. Whole setup is dying from a thousand cuts and at current going rate it doesn’t have much time left.
call me a racist but Korea is a cesspool
Most countries in the world suffer from deeply entrenched misogyny.
hi a_racist, I’m dad
