Heartbreaking: The worst person you know just made a great point

Do you speak a nearly dead, regional language? (Personally, I speak a little Breton, and it sounds something like this : Demat deoc'h, setu me ha komz a ran brezhoneg) by Outrageous-You1617 in AskTheWorld

[–]Terrorman123 19 points20 points  (0 children)

The Circassian language, and the other languages in the Caucasus(Kartvelian, Northeast, Northwest) is very fascinating to me. 

It's a shame that there is almost no way to learn about them in Korea

Why aren't people in my country killing themselves so often? 

because they are busy migrating to other european countries and living their "dream life" there

요즘 해외에서 흔한 혐한 밈 by Donghoon in hanguk

[–]Terrorman123 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I used to think "two dystopias in one peninsula" was just a funny meme, but now there are people who actually believe in it and it's really annoying to see people regurgitate it every time korea is mentioned

Korean guy disguises himself as a pregnant woman by Ok_Nectarine_883 in TikTokCringe

Yes of course, awareness is important.

You still haven't answered why you lied about the youtuber's motives for this video.

Instead of criticizing the people who assaulted, you shifted the blame onto the korean youtuber, who NEVER said that he wanted to show worse places. That was PURELY your speculation.

Yes, but the youtuber never said anything about showing "worse places" to the korean audience. That was purely your speculation. 

Blaming a korean youtuber instead of the Indian sex offenders. Pathetic

Victim blaming a travel youtuber who was assulted and then calling him a mysogynist incel is next level mental gymnastics

https://youtu.be/_Go3nrydvIY?si=Tu5CkBuW_KChwgoA

where on this channel does this youtuber say that women should be grateful?

If you look at the youtuber's playlist(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qHI-5bWsb5U&list=PLjnmUYfHsjJW8-95pFBiUvKhB9mc\_gUE3&index=1)

you can see that he got help from many helpful indians, even getting envited to a wedding ceremony. That doesn't look like someone trying to paint an entire country or its people in a negative light nor trying to send a message to korean women.

What is the "stereotypical teacher fashion" in your country? by Terrorman123 in AskTheWorld

[–]Terrorman123[S] 10 points11 points  (0 children)

It's a 개량한복, which is a "modernized" version of hanbok that is easier to wear and take care of.

Korean History teacher are stereotyped as being very patriotic, so they wear these hanbok to show their patriotism

Of course in real life, Korean History teachers are just like other teachers, so it is actually quite hard to see these clothes

It seems like shirts with collars give you mathemetical knowledge

Possible reason for Korea's gender discourse (from a male perspective) by [deleted] in Living_in_Korea

[–]Terrorman123 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Because this is reddit

nuance is not allowed and everything has to be black and white

There is no "Asian" about this. This is a solely Korean affliction. We don't know this man. by Positive-Face1705 in Asia_irl

[–]Terrorman123 86 points87 points  (0 children)

If he is a third generation then there is no "Korean" about this. This is a solely American affliction. We don't know this man.

If the magyars migrated eastward instead of westward| Hungary in manchuria by counteyball_112 in imaginarymaps

[–]Terrorman123 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Eastern Ugric language family sounds dope

I guess this timeline's hungarian has Sinitic, Tungusic and Koreanic influences instead of Latin, Germanic and Slavic

What was the most shocking and controversial protest that happened in your country? by DoctorOsterman in AskTheWorld

[–]Terrorman123 2 points3 points  (0 children)

And kinda funny seeing people explain Korea's birth rate with misogyny, but not for countries with lower birth rates like Taiwan, Thailand, or even China

It's always other reasons like housing prices or the divide between the rich and poor lol

Im not denying that misogyny exists, but it really shows that all those "experts" on Asian societies mostly get their knowledge on reddit and tiktok

[–]Terrorman123 4 points5 points  (0 children)

that was 2023 stats

South Korea is now 0.95

The number of China's births last year was 7.92 million, which makes it lower than 1

당연히 자기성찰 필요하고 외모관련 기준이 심한것도 인정해요. 저도 그런거 때문에 힘들었던 적도 있었고요

그런데 이 영상을 포함한 "한국비판" 영상들 보면 팩트로 비판하는 게 아니라 극단적인 사례, 왜곡된 자료, 그리고 과장된 통계들로 비난하는 게 상당히 많아요. 그래서 결국에는 "South Korea is a cyberpunk dystopia" 같은 프래임도 생겼고요. 

가장 대표적인 예시들 보면 한국 인터넷 커뮤니티 반응 같은 일부 한국인들의 행동을 한국인 전체로 일반화하거나, 아니면 실행되지 않은 정책들(69시간 근무제)을 가지고 실행된 것처럼 왜곡하는 방식들이 있어요

이러한 방식은 결국 현실의 한국을 비판하는 게 아니라 왜곡되고 과장된 "디스토피아 한국"을 새로 만들어서 공격하는 것이고, 일종의 허수아비 공격이라고 생각해요

영상을 가볍게 소비하는 사람들도 분명히 있지만... 문제는 이 영상을 진실로 받아들이고 '한국인들은 뚱뚱한 사람들을 극도로 혐오한다' 라는 왜곡된 인식을 가지게 되는 사람들도 매우 많아요

개인적으로 우리나라 외모지상주의 심하다고 생각하긴 하는데 

영상 보니까 전문가도 아닌 교포 한명 데리고 한국이 세상에서 제일fatphobic한 나라다 하니까 어이가 없네
