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.
Another episode in the series: “South Korea is a dystopian hellhole”
Didn’t realize MapleStory is still kicking around
Yea they did maple 2 and it flopped so they kinda fell back on the first and did a bunch of reboot and power level stuff to draw back the old v62 v83 crowd
Major small-dick energy from these guys.
I just looked a bit more into this. There is a whole history of scrutinizing Nexon’s material and then screen capping single frames of animation to “prove” they are sneaking in this “misandrist” hand gesture. Looking at a back log of these this is on the level of those people presenting a single frame of someone like Beyonce on stage, and claiming what they captured clearly shows she is making satanic hand gestures.
making derogatory comments about people’s penises is not feminist
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
What a bunch of pussies. Sorry about your tiny cocks fellas but get over it.
Korean anti-feminists are militant about this gesture.
I played a game last year and the same thing happened on that game too. Absolutely ridiculous stretch but the developer had to put out an apology (it was a Korean game)
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.

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.
The body shaming in these comments is fuckin wild.
Yet more evidence that G*mers should be bullied more.
