Last tweet of the night
It really cannot get more blatantly red scare propaganda than this - this dialogue between characters on tonight’s episode of #Snowdrop
Seeing Soo-ho (NK spy pretending to be college student
Yeongro: I think he got chased after he was protesting 😭😭 we have to hide him
Hyeryeong: are u crazy? They say he’s a spy!
Jungmin: He’s no spy! That’s just the lies the police tell us all the time.
Worth pointing out that “Jungmin” is the roommate that is the hardcore student activist (they gave her short hair and glasses because activism means you do not have time to get glam) - and Jungmin is the one who says “that’s just police propaganda”
To speak plainly
- Countless innocent activist students were kidnapped arrested tortured for being/working with North Korean spies
- However, #Snowdrop chose to show an activist student decide to help an actual North Korean spy, thinking he’s an activist
- Conclusion: #Snowdrop asks the question, “well maybe the NSA had a point? What if there really WERE North Korean spies hiding among students? And the students themselves were too stupid to know? What if only the NSA were really able to catch these spies?”
lol fwiw I didn’t watch tonight’s episode
I got sent this by a kindly internet stranger who was horrified

For the way I translate on here, see pinned tweet.
TTL;DR sometimes I get paid to translate for a news article. Sometimes I do it for free for a friend.

Every single translation I’ve posted on twitter has been for free.
Oh yeah there’s a LOT of BDSM fanfic in Korea, like more than I was aware of
Bro I was trying to research fanfic!

Every single one of you, stop mentioning my friend in your replies and apologize in the comments here, on your main accounts. Their life is their own, they do not need to be dragged into this.
Money isn’t the only currency my dear
Favors are my price
Guess you can’t afford me. And I’m a pretty good translator too.

“World Citizens” (세계시민선언), a youth nonprofit that works to support citizens around the world resisting government violence, has warned they will file an injunction in court against Snowdrop.
They describe the drama as a clear insult against the efforts of those who fought dictatorship, and argue that it could signal to other dictatorships that state violence can be glorified.
The org continued, “The broadcasting of Snowdrop on major distribution platforms gives a mistaken view of history to generations who have not experienced it. It can also cause them to justify glorification of state violence in order to defend their celebrity.”

The family of Park Jong-cheol, who was the student who died after brutal water torture by the NSA, has spoken out about how #Snowdrop is causing harm to victims of the NSA.
Park’s family point out that there are still-living families of those who were accused of being North Korean spies and tortured, and the drama recreates the narrative that was used against victims
Essentially, it justifies why the NSA did what they did.
