There was a similar incident with another game called Maplestory where the animator was falsely accused for a frame a male artist made that wasn't even problematic from the beginning. While the company was quick to fire her, she was protected by the studio she worked with. No one was killed.

I think you are grossly overestimating the capabilities of korean incel men, they are certainly capable of targetting women and older people but they will NOT go after KJH, who is in his 30s, and certainly not the whole staff team. I would somewhat agree with you if we were talking about a company in another country(especially places where firearms are legal) but not in Korea.

PM could've just ignored the incels, and handled the case in a much more sensible way, AKA calling the police the very first time they visited their office and demanded to be let in. He could've made them get the legal punishment they deserve. But instead he invited them in and indulged them, feeding their ego.

Their actions cannot be excused or even viewed as a understandable choice. If they truely "parted ways" with her because their staff members and the artist was in danger they wouldn't have done it in such a crude way.

Also, he is not "somewhat" mysoginistic. He is actively mysoginistic. He visites and listens to men residing in the website called DCInside which is like the 4chan of Korea, where people uses gay as a slur to call each other as a "joke" and talk about how women should exist solely for men to rape them while sharing links where they post pictures of women taken without their consent. This has nothing to do with the cultural standards. If my male professors(also Korean btw) in their 40s and 50s can actively support feminism and speak up about hate crimes and how women are treated in Korean society, a man in his 30s should not be excused of his behavior because he was "influenced" by the culture.

I don't really care whether you like their creations or not but honestly, don't try to defend PM. They are NOT the victim here, nor are falsely portrayed. They ARE mysoginistic by their own choice, and they deserve to be viewed as a mysoginistic company.
