Look at these damn paparazzi using such clever wording? They're ridiculing criminals but calling it "making heinous criminals a joke," "consuming crimes as entertainment" and writing articles about it. And then they say mocking these assholes is secondary victimization of victims? Who's defending them? Do people just write articles based on whatever nonsense they ramble about on Twitter these days? Or has it been like this for a while now?

Holy shit lmaooooo

This is why we can't have nice things... women prisoners do a photoshoot and suddenly it's problematic? Make it make sense

Talking like this makes you look like you're not swept up by emotions and you're an enlightened person, right? Hehehehe

Reading the article, turns out they're talking about regulations and legislation lol...I get that they might delete mocking posts if victims or families request it, but talking about punishment provisions too? It seems like they're discussing using state power to crack down on all of this. In the end, it's just an extension of censorship and regulation violating freedom. How are we supposed to accept this? If the government gets involved in everything that's morally controversial, the right to think independently and act freely disappears. Blindly accepting it is just stupid

Fancy way of saying just let people mess around with memes, right? The thing is, on platforms like YouTube these past 2 days, there's AI footage of notorious criminals like serial killers Yoo Young-chul and Kang Ho-soon, as well as O Won-chun and Jung Yoo-jeong, in prison clothes eating or walking around the prison being spread indiscriminately with titles like "Prison Update" and "Prison Food." Right now this whole situation is just being used to farm YouTube views

ok but the secondary victimization part is actually serious, we should probably read more before commenting lol

South Korea really out here finding new ways to debate everything I swear ๐Ÿ’€

Even if you drink soda and eat curry and go freediving at a valley, you'll still be alive lol
