This Disgusting Webtoon Is Drawing Black Characters And ABUSING Them For Fun (get schooled) 

bruh the news is trying to control the narrative

fr why do they use the word correctly and in the right context and then proceed to put quotes around it like it's wrong??

I think this was honestly a classic literary mistake. Some people uses quotations to (incorrectly) provide a sense of emphasis. I'm not defending them for that decision, but it's entirely possible they didn't know how to use quotations properly.

If I'm not mistaken, I think they do that because they're trying not to give a stance on the subject. News tries to come off as 'impartial', so they use the quotes to basically show that they're literally quoting other people, and it's not a direct statement/opinion of the media outlet that is reporting the news.

Yeah..or if they wanna emphasise it, why not just bold/ underline it

No way any American of any ethnicity would look at green eye man and call him asian monkey 😂

People were saying that the black student was using his skin colour as leverage to get away with stuff

It doesn’t make sense because the guy wanted to “reverse the roles” to show the racism or something. And proceeds to make the only main black character become a bully and make “pure Koreans” act like monkeys. Which isn’t usually compared to them but is usually compared to black people.

I know it's really bad but I can't really make a judgement about it since the arc is not done they could've turned the tables and the White guy could be an associate with the lawyer guy who want to bring down trpa since he's a new recruit. Who knows the creator had apologize for the mention of the nword but hasn't really confirmed anything. The mention of pure blood Korean was sketchy that give me a way to think that they might be going something different about it like making a lesson to not be racist cause anyone can tell it's a bad mindset and I'm sure the author know it as well that's why I want to wait for more context if they'll release it or not

​@@marianhernandez6655that would be plausible if the author didn't lie about who's the minority in Korea. If he has to lie and make it sound like "pure" koreans are outnumbered then that shows he did have a bias when writing this chapter

if you live in america, you know that blacks and asians are very very racist toward each other

Like everyone there is that racist but being called the n word but the supposed only white guy was going to have him be left alone? He would've got schooled himself, the author is clearly living in a fantasy if he thinks that's anywhere based in reality.

@@DraodVideos my friend found it and we read it. He was going to be racist to him for 24 hours apparently and mentally torture him. The racism made no sense and they wanted to say the black character was pretending to be a victim so that's why they didn't want to beat him.

Exactly, that's not even mixed race hair, let alone a black person's

tbh it kinda reminds me of dijonay from proud family where they make a character very different to the rest to enforce negative stereotypes. idk maybe the artist doesn't know how to draw afro hair, but the hair colour was definitely a choice 😬

He pretty much looks like a palette swap of one of the characters from the technical school arc, just with a wider nose.

thats what im saying it don't matter if your sane or insane none of my people would do that to our hair😭😭😭

@@batteryacidsorbet I think it's a general case of all black characters in Asian originating animes and related medias always look like some wierd caricature because they don't actually know how to properly draw black people, and it's a very common problem

If you've read the manhwa you'd seen far worse looking character. Idk where's the stereotype cus that literally how almost all characters are drawn but darker skin tone. The only exception are the main characters whether they're evil or not

I've briefly lived in Malaysia so I can't speak for the rest of the Asian countries however, it's true that there is a loose use of the N word amongst certain people. I never heard it often, personally but there was a time I and my friend were looking to rent an apartment and the broker asked about where we were from, saying they didn't want "N's" living in the apartment.

I laugh at people who get mad when others appropriate Japanese culture, because no one appropriates other cultures harder than Japan. No one.

@@GameLover45408true but the way this story attempted to write the scenario was beyond contrived

The only 2 POC villains who were treated like just villains (from what I've seen) were Dr. Facilier and Gustavo Fring. And hell, Gus is both gay and black, and people only focus on the fact that he's a good, no, not just good, one of the best villains ever written. Which really proves that the writers just cared about writing an amazing villain and were not focusing on what their sexuality, gender, race, or anything like that is.

I liked it at first, but the first time they tried tackling discrimination honestly just turned me off from it

If THAT was your favorite Webcomic, I cannot imagine how much better other comics/manga/manhwa must seem in comparison lmao. Don't get me wrong, the general premise doesn't seem too bad, but like... I've seen the exact same thing done better; several times, at that. Now personally it is not my cup of tea, but if that's the kind of stuff you're into, I recommend you check out other dramatic high school series (or even without the high school setting, you can find a lot of good stuff).

Like please it is literally propoganda romanticizing violence against children. How did this even fly on webtoon from square one

Mostly cause the creator shed light on real life stories that are taboo to talk in sk like teacher abuse and adolescent criminals bragging about committing crimes.

What? I don't think you understand the story

Tbh some of those kids deserved to get beaten….

My thoughts exactly. Corporal punishment is abhorrent, no matter the reason.

Fr 😭 that’s why this did not shock me at alll

you can still write things with dark things (gore as an example) and still be a normal person. maybe not average, but not.. bad? if that makes sense. you def cross a line when you make a non-black character say the n word though 😭 (AND HAVE THEM PORTRAYED AS BEING RIGHT??? FOR DOING THAT???)

@@kevanphobic oh I get what u are saying but personally, the term "not being normal" doesn't mean a bad thing to me all the time. In fact, I'd go as far as saying that the term normal is limited to specific communities or cultural groups. Some things considered normal in South Korean would definitely not be considered normal in some parts of Africa. Of course, there is a broad general understanding of "normal" or rather "acceptable" with the law and certain moral guidelines like greeting elders with respect but whoever goes the non-violent and immoral route isn't necessarily bad. Though of course using the "N" word - while I understand that the creators were trying to vocalise the issues in South Korea from bullying, discrimination and racism - didn't give them the pass to use the N word.

@@c4tac133 Fr. I love the Webtoon. I didn't read the Racist chapter so maybe I would have been triggered if I had been as an African. Maybe I just haven't experienced a lot of discrimination due to my color or at least been aware of it, but this also didn't shock me as much

@@rashad4566 Are you seriously responding to something posted like... A month ago?

Nope, you have it in reverse. The bad guy here was the teacher. She wasn't teaching that both men and women can both be firemen, she was saying stupid things with the most twisted concept of modern feminism in the name of "equality". She literally got mad at a little girl who wore a feminine look and the other kids got so brainwashed by her that they started bullying the little girl too. The TRPA then caught wind of the situation, the whole arc played out and it ended with the teacher understanding what true equality meant and stopped enforcing false ideals onto children. People need to stop taking things out of context when criticising a piece of media. This story had no massive red flags about anything until just recently.

​@@mcbedo6568I mean don't get me wrong, that twisted view of feminism would be bad if people followed it IRL, but putting it into a story knowing what we know now is kind of a red flag. Like it seems like the author is right wing and just thinks that's what progressives think or smthn

​@@mcbedo6568just reading that doesn't make it any better. The author makes up these extreme characters that have no equivalent IRL to fight concepts they dislike. The "evil feminist teacher" is not such a real problem IRL that they need to be "taught a lesson". Comes off like a revenge fantasy. Very clear, you have to be extremely naive to not see that.

@@enough2715 well it kinda is a revenge fantasy... but thats what people enjoy reading about it. To be fair, koreas bullying and issues tend to be more extreme compared to what you see in america

@@mcbedo6568nah it’s bs. They created a “feminist” they could hate by making her a villain sing stereotypical bs that no feminist says just like they created a black character they could hate so that the creator could be misogynistic/ racist. Same situation, different minority.

So sad

With all due respect, why? Even before the black character was introduced, this comic had a pretty toxic ass message about physical abuse being not only something that should be acceptable in school but also something that should be viewed by teachers as the ultimate way to discipline their students.

@@dork7546 Well, when I started reading it, I was just in it for the mindless action. But after a certain point, it made me realize that students are getting a bit too wild, especially bullying, and the teachers don't do anything about it. Like one of my family members was a victim of bullying and the teachers did nothing about it (I was also one, but not severely). Now while I do agree physical abuse is wrong and a teacher shouldn't beat a student up for chewing gum, there has to be some sort of firmness and discipline with the students who are making other kids miserable.

​@jonevarty2205 given it presumably takes place in South Korea (FULL DISCLAIMER: I didn't read the manhwa and after this, nor do I intend to) the depiction of bullying in it sadly isn't too farfetched.

​@@dork7546because after a certain threshold, people go out of control. Believe it or not, a hard slap is a million times more effective than being told what to do, especially when said person refuses to listen normally. If you've never read the webtoon before, then you probably haven't seen the buckwild level of shit kids and adults there (i.e the villains of each arc) and the extent of theor shittiness. The violence is absolutely deserved. Maybe its just me, but as someone who has read all the way up to season 1, it never once made me think they were trying to promote violence towards normal people.

Have you read the manhua tho?

My thoughts exactly.

I'm sorry, but there are multiple characters in the same manhua who looks exactly like that vharacter. A palette swap if you will. So i'm confused about the stereotype/black caricature claim cus i've seen that same design multiple times on korean characters.

⁠​⁠@@AoiFlame02It more so has to do with the fact that there is only one black character and the artist decided to depict them in such an off putting way. For Koreans, they get a range of handsome to ugly depictions to show how diverse their ethnicity can be. By having only one black character, the artist provides only one representation of black people for black readers and all readers in general, and it sends the message that all (or at least, a large majority of) black people are similarly off putting and rude/deserving if slurs. TL;DR: a “palette swap” isn’t an accurate representation of this situation if you only swap the pallet once in order to draw a character that is largely off model compared to the other characters. Edit: ah i have more context now so I see how this argument doesn’t apply to this webcomic. However, *wow* there is a lot to unpack with the portrayal of the “pure” korean minority (in *Korea*) as the victim of mixed bullies.

​@@dorabukovics4337have seen a black person tho?

Was literally thinking about the San E situation. The comparison is so real.

wow, equivalent exchange of slur, very extreme indeed. sooooooo extreme in fact

​@@vincentdreemurr Oooh someone who can't read! Can't read soooo bad, in fact, they missed the point. If no one called you a slur, but you really want to say a slur really bad because you're just so "edgy 🤪" that you make up a FAKE racist person/scenario to give yourself a "n word pass", you're a weirdo with a hard on for bigotry. Please tell me, where he made an even exchange and who it was with? Because the racist "negro" in question was imaginary.

You literally hit the nail with this one 💯

i'm not even surprised with san e. he has been exhibiting problematic behaviors since day one

nah the creator was just doing the most!!

I don't think the creator was even thinking

bro really said, "ok ok hear me out, if we make a brotha be a bully, it'll give us an excuse to use a racial slur🤭"

Also if the author had done the research many of these kids act out because they struggle to adapt to a setting that is completely different. The language, culture and social norms not to mention they are more likely to get bullied themselves. But this felt as if he was writing out of his own personal biases.

@@lexi6699 Dude just hates black people, that's all there is to it.

@@lexi6699 that's what happened to me when i temporarily went to school in another country. i was only 11 and was lashing out a lot and hitting people because i was being bullied and became a dick to defend myself. i was alone and this was sadly what my brain thought to do (i still beat myself up over my behaviour to this day as an adult)

I was thinking the exact same thing

Onizuka Sensei Except he's a Proud Boy 💀

It literally is that's why I hate it

I just went to look this webtoon up and literally the first thing I thought was "bootleg GTO?"

It's actually more profound imo. Or was

Yes we did read the same manhwa 💀 Its just a matter of perspective really. A lot of us loved this webtoon cause of the themes of each arc. I mean if you boil it down to its core, its just an action manhwa. We're here for the action, the "justice is served by super cool badass main characters" moment. It isn't that deep for the majority of us. I mean realistically speaking there's probably a much better solution to each of these problems, but I don't think that was ever the author's intention. Translation and culture difference is also a big factor. SK has to deal with these incidents directly while most of us foreigners don't. To us, its just a story, to them it's smth far more personal. So it makes a lot of sense for them to hate it and foreigners to enjoy it. This racist take though, that's just too far.

@@mcbedo6568 huh... thats true i never really thought about it that way, thank you for opening my eyes to this. however one point id like to add that it probably was the authors intention, the fighting abuse with abuse or "참교육(true education)" narrative is very popular amongst far right crowds in sk and looking at the way the author portrayed this as "badass" it was very transparent what side he was on. i suppose thats the cultural difference really.. i see how some foreigners could've looked past this. Although it does make me wonder abt people who were praising the webtoon for its "deep discussions into korean societal problems".. Genuine question without malintent though, did you not feel this way about the antifeminist arc?

​@@gastapasta1061didn't see it as an antifeminist arc but as an anti extremist arc to foreigners who have no idea about the ins and outs of korean politics, it probably didnt mean much but to actual koreans who can read in between the lines tell when propaganda is being fed to them its controversial

​@@gastapasta1061for example i saw this youtube short of this other artists work where they showed a comic depicting how a man forced his wife to get an abortion at a scary clinic(this artist draws horror comics) but he sees the ghosts of dead children around him and realises his mistakes and stops the surgeon If i didnt know what was going on in american politics( i just found it out recently back then) i would've read it as "poor woman, men shouldn't force others to do anything they're uncomfortable with" but because i was already aware of the political environment in america i could tell this author was trying to feed propaganda to me

@@gastapasta1061 i didn't really see anything "wrong" with the feminist arc tbh. That's because I've been assessing each arc purely based on story instead of trying to find the inner meaning, if it even exists in the first place is immaterial to me. Which is why I enjoyed most of the story and didn't find it particularly problematic.

And how people say they’re pushing western views whenever someone calls out a non-American media for its ignorance

They treat Asian people like they're children, like some kid who sees a black person for the first time and says some shit like "daddy why are they brown". Do we exist on the same planet? As I've been on the internet I've come across so many slurs for so many ethnic groups, even religion and orientation, and I wasn't searching for it. But you're going to tell me a whole group of people are completely ignorant to slurs typically heard in the west, as if we're talking about NK and not SK? I really hate the way they infantilize asian people, it's so gross. And like others have said, acting like certain things are "exclusively western" and "forcing a western perspective" when it's not at all exclusive here. I quite literally have seen at least three people say that being fat/plus sized was an american thing. Just because food tends to be healthier outside of the US doesn't mean people are incapable of gaining weight, Josh, stop fetishizing asian people.

@@Vesperad0 East Asia consumes westernization like soup. They are extremely moldable by the west. Yes they know, it's just racism. People just don't do their research,. They can literally look up how asians view the west/the US on tiktok, IG. It's somewhat accurate. Social media is US-centric. Did every culture on the planet just come up with the N word synonymously??

Uh, well that could be a source of inspiration but that's actually not it. The author of the story themselves talks about how the story originated and I'll just say it was definitely far more harmless. I don't remember the details exactly, but it more so based off a random epiphany than anything.

@@nomoretwitterhandles .....There are Koreaboos outside of the KPOP community? Like, why? Both Koreas are somehow equally insane, which I guess makes sense since they're still the same race.

The origin might be that but we dont use 참교육 in that kind of way. It's used when someone gets righted for their wrongs- similar to karma. A lot of people here don't even know our cultural context and are blatantly striving off facts gleaned from the comments or the internet.

It wasn't meant as a joke. It was the way Daniel retaliates against Lee Mukyun. The black guy who's got the n-word used on him.

Stop calling it racial jokes. It's just flat out racism. Yall need to understand that racism isn't just "I hate those who are different than me" but people who believe in the negative stereotypes about said people and have biases towards said people. This comic thinks "blacks are aggressively racist towards Asians so let's be aggressively racist towards blacks" was a okay way to deal with race relations... That's not a joke. That's dead ass antiblackness. Calling it a "joke" removes the seriousness of racially charged harassment. That word was often uttered by lynch mobs shortly following savage beatings, hangings, sexual assault and murders. It's not a joke calling someone a slur because it normalizes hate speech and hate crimes.

ate. you ate with that@@URFTBOUND4LIFE

It was basically always 'with this content' but probably not in a way you'd notice as it's a right-wing propaganda piece decrying a law making it illegal to beat children by claiming that the law is causing the terrible bullying in South Korean culture when the law was made *in response* to the terrible bullying.

I think I managed to get to the non-school arc where Hwajin helped the abused kid. Last one I remember anyway.

I remember when i read the first arc, and there's this kid having a mental breakdown ready to burn down his school because of his family falling apart, his dad actually physically abusing him (iirc), and i get that technically some of that was his fault, but the rest is just ignored, and he's just sent to juvie (that is famously known to work very well for rehabilitation of criminal minor !), happy ending whooo ! It just rubbed me the wrong way, even the arc about the delinquent technical school, like technically my man didn't really do anythong wrong himself, he did participate to the ambience but i don't think he ever bullied anyone personally (might have to go reread that one) ??? Idk when you really start to think about each arc it falls apart fast

@@noko8692 I started reading this after the drama and I wanted to see how bad it was myself. Oh boy it’s really something. I got to the part where a lawyer was making abs argument where he says ,”Hey maybe let’s not punish you this child (who was a bully). He deserves a second chance and understanding cause there are societal factors that can lead someone to lash out and bullying like poverty, parental abuse, etc” And the main characters winning argument that we’re supposed to agree with is “Have you ever played video games?” Captain genius here was basically saying that cause video game chats are toxic so that means humans are inherently bad and enjoy being cruel. I’m not making this up check ch62. Each arc is very questionable 🤨. But the arc that really got me was the scared straight arc. Like one middle school arc deals with kids breaking the law and getting away with it cause they’re underage, and the solution was to send them to jail and allow the inmates to abuse them, so they can be too scared to break the law again. Worst part of that arc was the main kid needed therapy! He accidentally killed someone (by dropping a heavy object out of a window) and is clearly messed up from that! And nobody thought to take him to therapy so of course in the present he’s going to lash out and do petty crime! Then they put him in solitary confinement, which btw is known as pure torture! And it’s painted as a good thing! That arc told with zero sympathy for the 13 and under kids really let me know the authors genuine views tbh. (Also fun fact there was a show called Scared Straight in real life that sent misbehaving kids to jail to scare them away from continuing to commit crimes. Shocker it didn’t work and the majority of those kids ended up going to jail as adults. It’s almost as if they needed therapy or something. So that’s why I was very upset are that arc) Yeah this entire comic is right wing Korea propaganda and it just keeps getting worse.

@@spilledteaissadtea3037 yeaah the whole comic really is like that, its just badass character doing badass things and "saving" poor victims from their evil bullies without any sort of nuance or reflexion on the "why" of their action. Like Nwa (i dont remember his name, the mc) legit admitted he was going to break some kids fingers one by one until he realized what he was doing was wrong, what the fuck was up with that ?? I swear that Yakuza lawyer is a 100% right, the fact that the warden are technically allowed to do ANYTHING legally is so fucked up, they could kill a kid and not have any repercussion. Mofos can set up a whole organisation to gather runaways kids without their parents authorization but they can't set up a fucking therapy center (Btw the 13 yo is seen being arrested later, wonder why :))

@@noko8692 bro what?! I stopped reading after the introduction to the basketball arc, skipped to chapter 62 to see more of the lawyer who I guess is a yakuza (real subtle that the only true opposition to the main characters philosophy ends up being a horrible person. Real mature) I just wanted to read more about his character at this point what happened? They have an entire organization to kidnap children what?!😭 Also not surprised about the 13 year old 😒

@@spilledteaissadtea3037 Ok so i went to check just in case i said stupid shit, with the technical school arc, he does says to the "main bully", who's the head of the school, he doesn't really do anything himself, besides getting into fights with other delinquents. (the school's environment has been shit for years and probably will continue since they only went at like one person) Some dudes the main 'bully' of the arc beat up calls some gangster to beat him up, he gets saved by the kid getting bullied and the mc tells him "you're lucky because otherwise i would have been the one beating your ass" (chapter 15) Rubbed me the wrong way the first time i saw it because i really took it as the mc doing worse than the gangster who were going to literally fucking cut off his fingers As for the lawyer he's actually shown to be pretty reasonable, he joins the agency for a bit to demonstrate its flaws and leaves immediately. I called him a "yakuza" because he was shown to have tattoos on his back during a shower scene. After his arc, there's the one with the new girl and the awful chapter 125, so it stops there. I assume he was supposed to have a backstory explaining he turned his life around since he got a second chance or smtg Aaaand for the last one, there's a runaway kid arc, idk how much you know about it but it's actually a pretty big social problem in Korea. Underage kids leave their family, usually because of abuse, but can't join shelters because it demands their parent's approval. Obviously going there would have them identifed by the police and send back to their abusive family. So they ends up doing part time jobs (which can ends up being dangerous or straight up not paid since there is no contract) and join 'runaway families' which are groups of more or less underaged kids (can go from like 10 to 21) that have runned away sticking together for more safety (usually they live in a tiny appartment together). Obviously that can lead them to more or less dangerous things (Drug dealing, forced prostitution, human traficking, and some 'runaway families' are absolutely awful and can lead into that as well...) It's actually a setting you see often in manwha, and i find the subject really interesting. But back on true education, the agency creates a shelter runaway kids can go to without having to get the approval of the parents (because they're above all laws) sorry if that's really long, i love dissecting stories like that. It's kinda hard to explain clearly too (You can see the 13yo getting sent to Juvie again in chapter 111, a sort of recap of things that happened until then)

And that's just pathetic of him and anyone who agreed. Woke has started to be taken out of context and used in racist/sexist/phobic form by the extreme right here in the US. It seems like it's gotten everywhere else now but it's all pathetic because it's hypocritical. In fact, the right wing definition of "woke" would've supported the manhwa while the left wing definition of woke (to clarify, it's still not how Black people, who originated the phrase via a rap song) would've been calling them sensitive....well up to the feminist episode. Lol It clearly broke rules, but they can't admit that, and that's fine.

omg thankyou so much!

Not many people care, I guess?

One reason is that black people were seriously over-represented in racist and violent attacks against asians, and ”progressives” aren’t comfortable talking about that. For them BLM seems to mean never criticising the black community or even individuals that are clearly in the wrong. A lot of the people posting stop asian hate hashtags wanted to pretend it’s all the fault of white people, always. Even literally blaming acts of black perpetrators on ”wHiTe SuPrEmAcY”.

Yeah a lot of these arcs are based on real problems in Korea. To westerners it seems greatly exaggerated but it is not as far-fetched as it seems...

The teacher said he wasn't about violence so my bet is that he was going to mentally "put him in his place" . Honestly lucky it got cancelled before it got worse

@@squirrel670 Which leads me to think how he was going to "put him in his place" when both the student and the bully were in the wrong. And I agree, they cancelled it in time, the ep 126 would have been a big mess.

@@edgechan we know how, he already started. They really wanted to shove their foot in their mouth further. Even worse is that it would still have people defending it.

The bully in this case, was mildly racist as well. Though not near the racist teacher

@@nananou1687 Hence I said how would the main characters handle the situation. Against the bully or the teacher or both?

there feelings got hurt

Mentally deranged and perverted most the time

Nah cuz I agree man. Theres black on asian crimes, yes. To me, I feel like if I saw the next few chapters, I'd get better context. If Daniel was seen as in the right for calling the black kid a slur, then I'd disagree since that's not cool. But if his ass was beat by Han Rim and told why slurs arent the way to go, but Daniel still thinks he's in the right, then I'd understand that the author was trying to paint both Daniel and the bully in the wrong for both being racist. Hell, could've even shown the black bully's past and why he was racist. It's not right to say it's bad because a black person is being racist to an asian person, just how it was handled in the next few chapters. Context is key.

I think you confuse racism for prejudice. A white person calling the police on a black man in the US can get him killed, a black man calling the police on a white man might get him arrested or might not. I’ve never heard a black person threaten a white person with the the cops hoping they shoot them but you can do a quick YT search and find the opposite look up BBQ Becky where she literally fake cries that some blacks are attacking her after she was threatening them at a park. That’s the difference between racism and prejudice. They are both bad but only one of these systemically oppresses another groups freedom and equality. So much so they have stats that support what I’ve shared. Second note: words can be a form of violence… it’s called harassment. It doesn’t have to be physical violence. The problem at least with many laws in the US regarding violence is that it doesn’t include emotional and psychological abuse which is just as damaging and fatal as physical abuse. And thankfully many states have adopted psychological/emotional and financial abuse as types of domestic abuse. But this whole comic was about inflicting physical abuse above all other types to teach bully’s a lesson. And from what we seen these bullies were often abused or neglected themselves and were crying out for attention so wouldn’t the best solution would of been to heal the wounds of the bullies instead of beating them until they were broken and in fear? Like they only lesson they learned was the fear of a bigger bully not actual coping skills to grow and adapt to challenges.

Wait white people face racism from black people? Where!?

No you're right, and even tho I think the way it was brought up was wrong, I don't think it wouldve been such a black and white epilogue. Most of the manhwa is about the situation being more nuanced than it first seems in the early chapters. The child abuse arc by example where it wasnt just a case of a violent father beating his wife and kid. It always starts with shock chapters then it evolves, by yes using extremes methodes but its the point of the manhwa. I was thinking that maybe the 2 characters would like be stuck to each other (the chapter ends with the blond guy handcuffing himself to the black guy) and idk kinda learn that you dont answer to racism by racism?

Whites can’t experience that

Somali arent even black.

I'd be surprised, considering how racist the author is, he probably hates Japanese too.

nah webtoon is crazy for publishing this

Really gone downhill from when I was active on the app

I wouldn't say they lacked the skill. I mean, they absolutely did lack the skill, yeah. But the issue wasn't that they were unskillful in their tackling, but the fact that they are batshit insane evil and it leaked through every single issue they tried to tackle.

😭😭😭sorryyyy!

there are no sex scenes, what ae you talking about

Tell me you didn't read the manhua without telling me

​@@deedee4955 not what they meant...🗿

Its a good webtoom 🥺

is it…

W.. what made you think the author was a nice person?

@@Neremworld Wayyy before this chapter was released (I'd been reading the webtoon for about half a year up to this point), at one point the author had to take a small hiatus before they could continue the webtoon. The way they addressed their fans was really sweet and apologetic, thanked us for giving the series a chance, and even showed us some behind-the-scenes, which i thought was cool and fun. It gave me the impression that the author was a good person overall

I'm positive the author was intending on making this ark about racial equality but they executed it in a way that offended people. I completely refuse to believe that the sweet author would intentionally do something as bizarre as what people are saying 😭

I literally read the chapter the day it came out and when I saw the n word i was like nahhh this over for this guy who let this man in

😭😭😭

Nah, the author of this comic is that one ass hole who got bullied in school and didn't only desire to stop being bullied himself but rather to become the brand new bully of the school.

You actually said this so well. It really does come off as a power fantasy. It's one thing if it's some bs like My Hero where students get their asses kicked in the name of "heroism" or whatever (which is perfectly acceptable, I just don't like MHA 😂), but if they're trying to take certain topics "seriously" and then you kind of... observe the entire setting of the story... it starts to become really damn gross.

Well, like it or not, each arc was inspired by a real life incident, so as unfortunate as it sounds this shit has happened in SK before.

@@mcbedo6568 I don't fucking care. A real life teacher's suicide doesn't justify you saying that teachers should just be allowed to beat the shit out of their students.

@@dork7546 Lots of Korean mangaka who did school bullying webcomic probably got their ass kicked in middle school or high school.

Korea is so assbackwards in so many ways it makes the things that seem more advanced also end up being ass backwards

They cannot literally get away with murder, that's just nonsense the manhua cooked up as propaganda to turn people against the law. The law is just "you can't beat kids", because they were having a huge problem with adults beating kids, and it was fuelling the bullying epidemic. The author was literally blaming a law made in response to the bullying epidemic for the bullying epidemic that predated it by over a decade.

😭😭😭

for snowflakes even a tickle will hurt them

I understand you probably didn't understand the context of the manhua, but it was actually just right-wing propaganda against a law that basically just said "you can't beat children", so he was using the bullying epidemic that it was suppose to help curb because adults beating kids freely was shown to signal to the other kids that beating other kids was okay to crusade against that law. Because he REALLY likes beating children. It wasn't written out of a desire to show the downtrodden getting justice and how that'd be good. It was just to get him his legal child-beating back. He was an evil freak through and through, just rotten to the core.

Oh what is it called?

@@sugarzblossom8168 Itaewon Class, it does a great job at highlighting social issues

​@@PsycoPoeticthank you

I wanted the show and enjoyed it. I didn't notice the African vs Korean racism, though. But I've noticed vice versa pretty strongly. The female main(?) character was the most extra with the controversial topics in the show, as well. I might have to watch it a second time since I didn't really see the last episode (though viewer reviews on sites makes me rethink my current decision to watch).

How are africans hating asians? Asians are the ones going to the african continent, doing lithe apartheid, attacking and murdering africans and then acting like they're justified, and then theres the fact that they were blaming africans for COVID.

Nothing 🥲

I visited my grandma and got my laptop fixed! :))

Got something close to what I wanted yet so far from what i wanted. Disappointing but it was something.

I got a new laptop bag for uni! :D

Cuz the author loves children being beaten. Literally. The manhua is a crusade against a law outlawing beating children while fantasizing about getting away with it.

What sort of 'neutral way' was here? Did you miss the rant from the 'innocent victim' character about how evil 'half-bloods' are taking over Korea and outnumbering gentle, kind 'pure-bloods' like himself?

@@Neremworld He wasn’t the “innocent victim” he was clearly portrayed as also having prejudice and racism against him. But the author was conveying racism from both parties.

@@PoliticalPublish The issue is that that wasn’t the case. He wasn’t shown poorly at all. He was the one being protected and his racism wasn’t condemned one bit.

it would have been neutral if maybe he didn't use a damn slur. These were many other good ways to do it, but he decided to use the worst way possible. I'm praying that he doesn't get killed

@@CT.editor I mean, it was already super racist even before they got to the slur. The author pretty much chose the most racist way to handle it the entire way. But also, who are you praying for? The author? The character?

You can read new chapter 126 - 132 on manganelo or manhwa-freak

Fr, this is tiresome

lmfaooo

He was just gonna keep being racist.

@@doubleaabattery7562 yeh and that's part of the problem that the TRPA must fix right?

@@justinjunkatigbak4576 the white Asian is very clearly supposed to be the one in the right, they weren't gonna do anything.

@@doubleaabattery7562 Why? Is the dude in the TRPA group? Cause if yes then that's a problem but if he ain't then dudes is just another target for the TRPA to fight against.

keep watching... i read it😭😭

@@MohammedAgbadiI’m speechless bro 😭 The fact a real living breathing person made it..

Not JUST black people, but foreigners in general. The entire chapter is about how demonic, savage, 'half-blood mongrels' were crowding out the gentle, kind-hearted 'pure-bloods' and how you defeat these 'half-bloods' is to be racist. Not a joke. That's literally the whole point of him shouting the n-word.

I don't really buy that the intent was to show 'how bad discrimination actually gets' when the good-guy viewpoint character was stating extremely racist stuff as if it was True Facts that you should nod along and agree with, such as about how 'dirty half-bloods' were polluting and taking over pure and good South Korea and outnumbering the 'purebloods'. It's pretty clear that the half-black guy was suppose to prove how evil non-ethnically pure people are.
