“Save the PURES, wasian boy!”

Tbh the design of the main character is what originally drew me in. I liked seeing him and the red haired girl interact. But it soon became clear this webtoon is just some right-winger’s abus3 fantasy. The exaggerated anti-feminist arc alone was enough to raise eyebrows. The author said they’re making a commentary on things present irl in SK like the juvenile laws. However, there hasn’t been any major cases involving settled foreigners bullying native Koreans. In fact, it’s the opposite if anything. Therefore, making an unrealistic scenario about a marginalized REAL group to justify a weird and racist take is loser behavior. This is without even beginning to touch upon the racist caricatures used to illustrate black people or the obvious “white = non-violent + good” and “black = violent + bad” motif coupled with the overarching “white savior” theme surrounding the narrative of the chapter. Lastly, anyone NOT black and defending this; just go to h3ll

    this!! And the way people are saying “oh yeah? Where were you when the anti feminist arc happened??” Like bring up issues in their own space? Why bring this up now when it could’ve been talked in its own moment?

    (Of course, women HAVE been talking about how theres so much misogyny in this type of genre and how its so catered towards boys that we cant really enjoy it with the constant sexism thrown in our faces as well as the unrealistic “reverse sexism” like what happened here. Not sure why people are saying why we dont talk about it, we have, people dont listen)

    Author has clearly lived a privileged life in sk that they had to make up a scenario in their heads to “bring awareness” to a problem that isnt major in sk, therefore doesnt even need this??? Like actually wtf was the point of this??
