Korean Gacha Drama and Gender War Pt. 2 - The Grim Reality of Korea
Added 2024-02-10 20:04:44 +0000 UTCSouth Korea is in the midst of a brutal civil war, but it might not be the one you're thinking of.
In Part 1, we discussed how Neo-Confucianism and foreign oppression shaped Korea into the deeply hierarchical society that it is today. Now that we've seen the historical roots, it's time to examine the trees so that we can finally observe the entire forest for what it is.
Why is the Korean gender war so bitterly fought? What is life on the ground like for actual Korean men, and women? We'll discuss these topics, and more, while also observing the already preposterous yet ever escalating dramatics of the Korean Gacha community.
Ad-free, and uploaded a little early, for Patrons! Let me know if you have any questions about the video, as always.
There'll be a premier for this video too, starting about a half hour after this post is made. As this video is the longest I've produced, and arguably the most history dense, it'll be good for me to see what the audience reaction is so that I can tune the content for the future. I hope you can be there!

I just watched this video about Korea low birth rates and reminded of yours: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lmoZ_W4WjW0

2024-06-30 13:33:34 +0000 UTCThank you for joining the Patreon, Andy! I've always believed in an empathic approach to discourse: that the first step towards a better world is trying to understand one another. The videos don't always meet that lofty goal, but I'd like them to move further in that direction as I continue to refine the craft!

2024-02-18 20:26:39 +0000 UTCI loved this two-parter, and became a patron in response to it. I absolutely love what you did here, and I love how you try to reach out to the people doing the thing that progressives consider wrong to try to bring them around to our side. Amazing work, and I'm happy to support more like it.
