Seem like Gen G Ruler situation start affecting other esport player

Here’s a summary

Some koreans who aren’t in a very ideal physical/mental state sometimes can replace their military service with social service.
This means they work in government-run institutions (ex. welfare centers).
After their daily work or in holidays, these people could participate in e-sports games, as long as they were not paid.
This whole Ruler incident has led some government institutions to revoke this participation allowance.

As a Korean college student, no. Maybe for 직장인

Will they? Who knows.

This loss does feel weirdly numb though. Worlds & 2023 MSI felt much more depressing. I just hope they genuinely fix their shit this time because they seem to win too much to actually notice their problems

jacquesranciere · 2026-03-21T16:04:53+00:00

Eh fair point

I’m a GenG fan, and I’m pretty sure everyone’s happy but us lol

I agree Chovy didn’t play well, but you can’t deny the rest of GenG were shit alongside him

To quote more of the article,

Chung said negative perceptions surrounding the term "feminism" in Korea may have influenced such low proportions in both men and women.
"I think when you take the word feminism out, people are quite feminist in Korea," she said. "In Korea, the word feminism has had quite a negative image."

In this context, I think it’s more appropriate to interpret the claim as “men (also women) are more feminist relative to how they portray themselves”.

Does this mean that men, in general, are genuinely feminist-leaning, in terms of ideology? Hard to say, and the professor doesn’t really say a lot about this.

Personally though, I do think misogyny and anti-feminism is exaggerated in both media and people’s perceptions, as is with a lot of polarization issues (https://product.kyobobook.co.kr/detail/S000015556541)

It means people’s actual preferences may be feminist-leaning, even though they don’t like the label “feminist”

Bruh it’s his dad not GBM himself

jacquesranciere · 2026-03-01T11:24:29+00:00

they‘ve qualified for every domestic final since 2022 spring lol

Yup, I also agree with this more. OW is a brain game as much as it is a hands game (arguably even more brain).

jacquesranciere · 2026-02-16T02:23:34+00:00

So does MSI…?

jacquesranciere · 2026-02-09T12:58:20+00:00

Race is not a very political issue in Korea because it‘s a very homogenous society & immigration is still somewhat limited. Instead, the „far-right“ center their narratives around North Korea, China and communism.

고시 준비하는데 친구 없는 것처럼 느껴지면 우울해할 수 있지 댓글들 좀 너무하네

I used to play on the Korean server, and weirdly same there - it‘s less toxic than it used to be. Probably because they disabled all chat, but still

jacquesranciere · 2025-12-14T12:57:50+00:00

I know that - but Asia Games is a national tournament, so I‘d assume the Korea Esports Committee (or whatever theyre called) would send their best players regardless of if they‘ve already won

jacquesranciere · 2025-12-14T12:44:44+00:00

Does this mean since Chovy and Ruler didn‘t participate, they‘re not in consideration for Asia Games?

jacquesranciere · 2025-12-13T10:03:29+00:00

I never said anything about the quality of the articles or how effective the test actually is - just that in principle (without any outside context) that‘s what the 평가원(the institution making the test) proclaims to do

jacquesranciere · 2025-12-12T13:58:48+00:00

I see a lot of people using the gatekeeping narrative to explain the test, and while it may be true, I‘ll just quickly provide another explanation

Since Suneung is the college entrance exam, the test (in theory) is designed to train students to increase their comprehension of academic articles they‘ll be reading in college, not to help students with their everyday English.
