This is horrifying but not surprising. "helljoseon" is a popular phrase in South Korea, basically the SK version of "hellworld", literally "hell korea". SK is a hyperhyperfucking-competitive capitalist shithole with horrifying labor conditions where military service is mandatory for everyone with "male" on their passport on the pain of imprisonment, living there can be hopeless and miserable. Therefore, since gaming is a good psychological escape from shitty life conditions, the anguished subject games, as is done everywhere.
Exactly bro they deserve an equal opportunity to destroy their bodies in service of a bloodthirsty neoliberal elite because the issue here isnt really imperialism but muh gendre equality america number 1 bestest country in world

This is just like Squid Game.
"huh its almost as if Squid Game was..... based on real life events" :thonk-cri:
And because of that a large chunk of SK youth are terrifyingly reactionary, thinking that women does not deserve rights because they do not serve.
Yeah holy shit, part of th military training is literally anticommunist propaganda songs lmao

fwiw I don't think they say Hell Joseon as much anymore, it sort of got superseded by Tal-Jo, 'Escape Korea', but feel free to correct me.
Yeah thanks thats probably correct I haven't been keeping up with SK news recently lol
