So, sitting alone on the floor of her small studio apartment, she posted the trailer on social media. Almost immediately, she was flooded with thousands of abusive messages, including death and rape threats. Young male gamers had taken issue with a single frame in the trailer, in which the female character could be seen holding her thumb and forefinger close together. They thought it resembled a hand gesture used by a radical online feminist community almost a decade ago to poke fun at the size of Korean men's penises. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cx2621gzvkdo --- 'Vinyl is the poor man's art collection'.

Solar_Crimson 01/12/25 9:20:19 AM #3:	Yeah, I watched a video about this phenomenon. A significant number of South Korean men will completely lose their shit over this gesture and go on a witch hunt for the "feminist" responsible. And companies will absolutely cave to this; they once got a woman fired from a company where one of its characters was also perceived to do this gesture, even if signs showed that she wasn't responsible for it. The battle of the sexes going on in South Korea is absolutely wild. --- "Be good to yourself, because everyone else in the world is probably out to get you." - Dr. Harleen Quinzel <cite>Solar_Crimson posted [p:983632390] in Single fra...

ai123 01/12/25 9:23:57 AM #7:	Solar_Crimson posted... The battle of the sexes going on in South Korea is absolutely wild. No kidding. In November 2023, the violence spilled offline and into real life. A young woman, who we are calling Jigu, was working alone in a convenience store late at night, when a man walked in and started attacking her. "He said 'hey, you're a feminist, right? You look like a feminist with your short hair'," Jigu told me as she apprehensively recounted the night. The man pushed her to the ground and started kicking her. "I kept going in and out of consciousness. I thought I could die." Jigu did not consider herself a feminist. She just liked having short hair and thought it suited her. The attack has left her with permanent injuries. Her left ear is damaged, and she wears a hearing aid. "I feel like I've become a completely different person," she said. "I don't smile as much. Some days it is agony just to stay alive, the memory of that day is still so clear." Her assailant was sent to prison for three years, and for the first time a South Korean court ruled this was a misogynistically motivated crime: in effect, that Jigu had been attacked for looking like a feminist. --- 'Vinyl is the poor man's art collection'.

Foppe 01/12/25 11:34:15 AM #46:	Dang, they must really be insecure if they get so angry. reads about it ...yeah, they are crazy over there. Seems like there have been multiple big female protests against hidden cameras in women's bathrooms. One guy hid in a woman's bathroom for hours, just to kill the first woman he saw because he was an incel. Thousands of women gathered to mourn her, which caused thousands of men to start a counter-protest, "oh yeah? Well, many more men dies in our forced military services!!!". --- GameFAQs isn't going to be merged in with GameSpot or any other site.

They purposefully target the type of male who would lose their shit over this and heavily push the parasocial waifu stuff to get people to open their wallets It's why companies give in to these campaigns.

Choco 01/12/25 11:54:00 AM #52:	ai123 posted... No kidding. In November 2023, the violence spilled offline and into real life. A young woman, who we are calling Jigu, was working alone in a convenience store late at night, when a man walked in and started attacking her. "He said 'hey, you're a feminist, right? You look like a feminist with your short hair'," Jigu told me as she apprehensively recounted the night. The man pushed her to the ground and started kicking her. "I kept going in and out of consciousness. I thought I could die." Jigu did not consider herself a feminist. She just liked having short hair and thought it suited her. The attack has left her with permanent injuries. Her left ear is damaged, and she wears a hearing aid. "I feel like I've become a completely different person," she said. "I don't smile as much. Some days it is agony just to stay alive, the memory of that day is still so clear." Her assailant was sent to prison for three years, and for the first time a South Korean court ruled this was a misogynistically motivated crime: in effect, that Jigu had been attacked for looking like a feminist. jesus fucking christ what --- https://i.imgur.com/286sD4e.png http://error1355.com/ce/Choco.html <cite>Choco posted [p:983633721] in Single fra...
