The law does not decide whether something is historical distortion, or offensive, or stupid, or insensitive.
The law simply guarantees FREEDOM OF EXPRESSION because South Korea is a fucking democracy.

The same people who declared “The Blue House personally approved this drama” are also the ones saying “we won” because a court ruled that a broadcast station is allowed to broadcast their drama

I’m sorry do you WANT South Korea to become an authoritarian state again??

I mean I guess that’s why y’all are supporting this drama so hard, because the idea of South Korea sliding back into authoritarian rule is so ✨aesthetic✨ or something for you?????

Like why tf do u think I didn’t translate it, it’s because AS I HAVE STATED these court cases trying to shut down the show likely won’t go anywhere because freedom of expression is reasonably well-protected.

Yeah and apparently not a single one of them bothered to read one (1) history book, including the male lead actor lmao

Y’all who actually thought the court case or petition might actually lead to the show getting shut down BY THE STATE (as opposed to it being an important symbolic gesture demonstrating the public’s displeasure with the show)…

Like please read one (1) article or book or SOMETHING on how democratic states operate I am begging you because the idiocy of people crowing in my DMs “we won” as though they were actually worried is genuinely concerning

Again! There’s also a fucking massive petition out there that wants to remove Trisha Paytas from social media!!! But it’s not going to fucking happen!!!!!

I can tolerate a certain amount of rudeness but I draw the line at willful stupidity

LOL also the number of people tagging JTBC in my mentions the past week, like, okay sure
JTBC is very welcome to sue the journalists whose articles I have translated and whose writing I have used to provide evidence for my arguments! Please JTBC be my fucking guest lmfao

While you’re at it JTBC you might want to check out the right-wing journalists and writers who think your show is awesome because it denigrates the student protest movement! Unless it was your intention to do denigrate. Hard to tell from my POV!

Again, feel free to go full Karen and screech at JTBC to sue Sunday Current Affairs (Ilyo Sisa, a news outlet) for this VERY illuminating quote that I translated

No sweetie I’m swearing because my parents and friends were tortured and you don’t care because you’re stupid

Thanks sweetie but I’m a few hundred turns deep into this Civ 6 game now because jet lag

Listen, I’m really sorry y’all don’t have the attention span or literacy skills to look at my profile, like I think there are hotlines out there for you, but this is a fucking esports account lmao

But then again not a single person who triumphantly DM’d me about the court ruling apparently bothered to read the actual YTN article where it said the court didn’t judge whether it was historical distortion or not

Again, if you have made the choice to place your trust in a major media corporation (that happens to be owned by a right-wing newspaper) then that is your call! Congratulations! I didn’t ask!

btw DMing me to yell at me and then expressing sympathy for what my parents went thru doesn’t make you a better person pls just leave me alone

Yes I think that’s a fair reading
Unfortunately we don’t necessarily live in reasonable times with reasonable people, as one can see from *gestures at own twitter mentions for the past week*

Anyway, gotta take my own advice
Good news is the dog is doing great since my mom stopped giving her chicken. Poultry is a fairly common allergen for dogs, who knew!
