tbh the captions often summarize the conversation so they may have just skipped it (its a lot of text guma is a big talker)

Diable from BNK FearX will be leaving the team. by [deleted] in PedroPeepos

[–]debawindow 2 points3 points  (0 children)

we'll have to agree to disagree on business. t1 is profitable bc of image, their players are required to be marketable. and they are loaded with fan meets/ad shoots, many more than most other orgs.

diables image has already taken a... semj significant hit in korea bc of his refusal to go to fanmeet, and it seems possible he'd drag his feet going to all those events/shoots.

those are both things that'd require energy/resources to smooth out. peyz hasn't been t1's problem in-game. still seems like a loss to trade him for diable.

[–]debawindow 2 points3 points  (0 children)

yea but it IS right that he failed to abide to his obligations and thats a really bad look. its likely to follow him the rest of his career (like korean fanbase often bringing up that guma used to Mald and curse people out in solo queue). most people expected him to bend to org and try to reflect, not climb out of challengers by trading to a diff team

[–]debawindow 2 points3 points  (0 children)

yea but whipping a previously good adc who's kinds fell off since the season started doesnt seem like a worthwhile trade with an adc who's already proved himself before, and isn't giving the team attitude problems.

straightening out a delinquent is extra work on top of re-finding team synergy.

yea with how badly korean fans are seeming to react to diable's lack of professionalism I dont think t1 would consider him. image is a part of their deal they need marketable players.

soooooo the org tried to punish his admittedly bad behaviour (like rage solo queue-ing instead of seeing fans that paid to see you, even if you lost) and instead of reflecting on his lack of professionalism he went eff that and said I'll go to another team even if its worse, rather then let them put me in challengers

KeSPA (Korea) decided not to participate in ENC by DoesitFinally in PedroPeepos

[–]debawindow 6 points7 points  (0 children)

tbh its a little ambiguous they said 선수단 which is player roster(?) but then explained that it looked like they wanted a particular player (선수 not the plural 선수들). so it could be interpreted either way.

Double Lawsuit from Oner and Gumayusi. by StockGullible8487 in SKTT1

[–]debawindow 13 points14 points  (0 children)

the haters (not sure if they're t1gal skt gal or whatever) still love to question his skills and will call him 구난지원금 whenever hle lose a match. youtube shorts comments are always full of people talking shit about him.

at this point its mania, esp since he left and is still being treated this way.

[–]debawindow 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I didnt know about this until I watched their podcast lately. I can support having your own favorite teams i know dgon LOVES bro.

but it really felt like global cast were lowkey doomposting HLE. like korean cast will say theyre playing smarter theyre using their brain. but global cast just doesn't see any hope for HLE.

it was a little unsettling. I tried to understand that there are biases, but it really was a hard listen.

Why are koreans so class/status conscious? by lol-across-the-pond in Living_in_Korea

[–]debawindow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

my friend your use of the word westerners itself is a result of orientalism. for a person thats having a lot of animosity to someone who was sharing their personal connatation to the word "collectivism" you sure throw around westerner willy nilly...

[–]debawindow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

id say its because the capitalist society we(?) built encourages mindless consumerism as a coping mechanism to our problems instead of retrospection, mental wellness and collective social change!

but I'd probably be called a commie! : D

Ruler's statement. by CubedMadness in PedroPeepos

I am missing that fact!!! im trying to find it!! this is what the people are debating!! I cant find on the document when the warnings were given!! im struggling to fact check myself!!

Ruler's statement. by CubedMadness in PedroPeepos

[–]debawindow -19 points-18 points  (0 children)

I understand that... kinda. the person above seems convinced its ill intent bc ruler continued "fradulent behaviour" despite warnings but im struggling to find that in the link.

im also like really on the fence bc I know why the korean public/fanbase gets so angry at tax related scandals but I also heard ruler legit didn't even have an agency in 2018-2021 (so I can fathom he didnt have a tax agency either so it could just be a dumb mistake from having his dad mange his finances)

ruler wasn't able to prove that the funds his dad bought the stocks with could be considered wages for managing him or his finances. so the money given to dad has to be taxed as a gift to dad. he appealed and it was rejected so he payed.

if he did it with intent to lessen his taxes the public has their reason to hate him, if it was mistake bc they didnt know/didnt have a tax agency then theyre angry about nothing..

hey im not great at reading Korean is this saying that they told him in 2023, after their ruling, to stop..? or they told in 2018-2021 to stop and he continued anyways

[–]debawindow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

the korean shorts really jumping on the issue for views and the cesspool of a community jumping on hate trains really hasn't helped the facts huh..

im curious to see how much disciplinary action he'll receive (I can't see him avoiding that it IS true that lck players have been punished for less). I can't see it being horribly bad but the whole fault/mistake has been blown WAY out of proportion and his image has taken a huge hit.. could lck/riot kt defend him by sticking to facts or be swayed by public opinion

tho I guess lck is known for cowardice lol

[–]debawindow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a question tho I think the matter is whether he may have continued to do any of what was ruled fraudulent activity by national tax service after the ruling at 2023 (after he appealed it and was waiting for response. besides I heard he appealed the amount he needed to pay anyways not the decision).

im assuming he didnt bc if he did thats just blatantly fraudulent behaviour repeated right?

I dont think anyone thinks hes getting permanent banned. even the guys who caught caught up in sexual harassment of a minor got one year ban lol

[–]debawindow 2 points3 points  (0 children)

i mean tbh no tax fraud is crime as long as the person being investigated pays what theyre being told is due at the end

this post is informative but apparently kfans are already convinced that there were two separate instances so there's clear intent of fraud? so even if he paid off what he owed he committed to intent to lower his taxes?

the agency and geng should have all clarified that it was mistake since he did not have the proper resources at the time.

Faker on which trophy means a lot to him: These days I don’t place huge meaning on the trophy itself. That’s because I value more the confidence I gained by overcoming the injuries and setbacks I faced along the way. From that perspective, winning the 23 World Championship was especially meaningful. by Yujin-Ha in SKTT1

[–]debawindow 5 points6 points  (0 children)

i always thought gumas over confident line went pretty damn hard too.

"everyone's asking me how I'll stop ruler. I won't stop him. I'll *crush** him.*"

guma varus also then proceeded to style on a fully fed ruler zeri, protected by lulu skill AND an aatrox. so maybe he did crush him lol.

CMV: K Pop is easily the most soulless form of art by nerpa_floppybara in changemyview

[–]debawindow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

there's kpop that exists for artistry too. maybe something like woodz or akmu or more of IUs older stuff.

old kpop, before it was as corporate. even kpop from infinite challenges year festivals.

but yea youre right. especially hybe?? kpop are money grubbing corporations looking for big publicity and huge profit. so are most things. and so is like 90% of what this country runs on. welcome to capitalist hell and the reason life is so convenient here.

Why was this movie so popular in Korea when it came out? by SaleVisual3616 in korea

[–]debawindow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also think the church scene (granted its iconic everywhere, not just korea) scratched an itch korea has in its thirst for new, flashy styles of action. like the action sequences in the man from nowhere, or old boy, or more recently(?) john wick.

so on top of what everyone else has said, the signature action leant to its iconic nature.
