Arguing with Korean nationalists is like talking to a wall. They deny or downplay our societal problems and it's just them being offended that foreigners dare criticize Korea. They have a mindset that criticism of Korea is criticism against them and will take it very personally
op getting death threats from their fellow koreans for this tweet just proved op 😬
When I was in school a friend told me his mother said she would choke him with a golf club if he didn't get high grades on his exam. We were middle schoolers. In high school a teacher talked about how students used to self harm to stay awake during class like it was inspirational
한국사회가 인생 망쳤으면 왜 화 안나고 왜 안알리고 싶겠냐. 계속 내가 누구한테 인정받고 싶다는 얘기는 본인 마인드인것 같고, 나 지금까지 다른 한국인에게 이런얘기 하면 욕쳐먹을거 알고 10년동안 잘 닥치고 있었고, 이제서야 폭로하는거다.
Korean movies I recommend:
Die Bad (죽거나 혹은 나쁘거나), 2000
Resurrection of the Little Match Girl (성냥팔이 소녀의 재림), 2002
Green Fish (초록물고기), 1997
The King of Pigs (돼지의 왕), 2011

사실이건 한국인들이 도저히 인정하기싫은 현실중에하나입니다....일부지역에서는 5분마다 성형외과 광고와 클리닉들이있고 버스정류장,전광판등등 성형외과 광고가없는곳이없습니다. 이게 정상으로보이나요? 다들 외모지상주의에 괴롭지않으세요? 힘들지않으신가요? 도대체 왜 감싸는거에요.바꿔야죠
I could go into the batshit fucked up experiences I had in Korea. The bullying, brutal education pressure, hierarchy culture, sexual assault, extreme bigotry and overall toxicity and lack of empathy. This is why I refuse to shut up about our issues because of petty nationalism.
I'm Korean in some parts of Seoul you can walk and every 5 minutes you will see a plastic surgery ad or clinic. Pale skin, big eyes, thin nose, pointy chin is what they promote. Can confirm this is real. Koreans are just getting mad at this cause they're extremely nationalistic.

I see art discourse directed at scrutinizing what artists do and what they don't and how much they charge and blah blah and I can only think of: do art the way you want, obey no rules, be not a coward, charge what your time is worth, bow to no one, be graceful and better

What being an artist online is like… damned if you’re a professional, damned if you’re an amateur

Replying to @chainsawroll
People on the internet are addicted to bullying other innocent people. This time, they've choosen to bully digital artists.They realised they sound stupid arguing against artists charging normal industry prices, so they resorted to accusing artists of using ai. They love bullying
I don't like approaching 30 but think to myself thank god I wasn't born later because I do not want to have grown up being an iPad baby and having no clear memory of what life was like pre 2016 and pre pandemic
Me realizing yesterday was Halloween here and people were going outside with their irl friends and having fun
How I feel when mecha fans hate on Neon Genesis Evangelion and visual novel fans hate on Doki Doki Literature Club
