     @TornadoOfTerror it was super hyper duper popular. I have never seen this level of popularity for other Korean stuff other than maybe Tower of God

     @coolboymew @TornadoOfTerror IT'S CALLED "SOLO LEVELLING" BECAUSE IT SINGLE-HANDEDLY DESTROYS THE MANGADEX SERVERS

     I saw Solo Leveling a while back on the manga site I use, but because it is all raws and I can't read Korean, I never had much interest. I'm glad the anime is at least Japanese voicr actors even if all the Korean names being spoken in Japanese sounds strange, because there are sounds in Korean that don't exist in Japanese, -ng being one of them, also -l the only ending consenant in Japanese is -n.

     @TornadoOfTerror At least it has no troons, fags or niggers or kikes. Just shounen garbage and korean jingoism. Its kind of fun when their insecurities take over and they start ranting about how korea is the most important asian country, and japan is totally jealous of korea, and how even americans can point korea on the map.

     @TornadoOfTerror Probably some korean faggot funded it from his pocket. There are actually interesting manhwa out there. "Mirror something something" which is basically "dont kill yourself, dude" story.

     @Marakus they should have adapted windbreaker or some other decent series instead

     @Marakus @TornadoOfTerror The more I've interacted with them and imbibed their wish fulfillment media, the more I've come to find that koreans are contenders for "most broken asian race"

     They really just have this freaky gumbo of emotions to work through

     @teknomunk @Zerglingman @TornadoOfTerror right, manga sites. The few times I went on manga sites when it was relevant it was in the top basically everywhere

     @WashedOutGundamPilot @Marakus @TornadoOfTerror That feel when enjoying their wish fulfillment stories reqs a cultural deep dive on the concepts of cultivation.

     @samjayganges @Marakus @TornadoOfTerror Until the norkos start publishing web novels, I can only speak to the south.

     IDK what the exact diagnosis is? The men seem like they were never loved by their parents, they have that resentful little brother of a D1 athlete vibe

     @WashedOutGundamPilot @samjayganges @Marakus @TornadoOfTerror It's hyper-competitive, and for a while their local feminazis (like, psycho-level ones, not like the pudgy western ones that can be avoided by staying away from McDonalds and any class in a university department whose name ends with "studies") ran rampant with the full endorsement of their executive branch. There's also a very pro-American bent among people, to an unhealthy level - IIRC the women were polled, and they said that the Americans would fight to defend them while their own men would probably run.
     
     Basically imagine the following:
     
     > Your country has been conquered by its neighbor of similar-looking people, ruthlessly oppressed for years.
     
     > A race of giant blond people who stand head-and-shoulders taller than you came in and beat up the guys who occupied your country, and now both of you are in their sphere of influence.
     
     > Some stuff involving another faction of the giant blond people happens, and the Northern half of your country now essentially belongs to your sort-of-incompetent other neighbors.
     
     > You get no say in this, but you've seen the giant blond people fight so whatever they say goes, you guess.
     
     > Oh no! Your northern neighbors have conscripted their half of your brothers into attacking you! You're being pushed back to the ocean, facing conquest or annihilation again!
     
     >You've heard things about the way they are running things in the North. Conquest by them would be truly horrible, but you're overwhelmed, and there's nothing you can do.
     
     > Oh. The giant blonds are back. They send a few guys and utterly pulverize both your incompetent northern neigbors-cum-enemies, along the northern half of your countrymen.
     
     > Along the way, to make the message clear, they lay waste to every inch of ground that was used to attack you. They then push all the way to your neighbor's border.
     
     > One of them says he can close it out by unleashing the physics-breaking superweapon that they used to deal the final blow to your first set of occupiers. For giant blond person reasons unknown to you, they don't do this, and instead just fall back to the original line, and give half of your country back to the people who just attacked you.
     
     > Still, they saved you from being slaves twice over, and both times your own countrymen were powerless to resist. You'd be far worse off without them.
     
     > Fast forward several decades, the giant blondes are still protecting you, the rival faction of giant blondes is no more, and your northern neighbor is only a threat in the newspapers, not in normal life.
     
     > For more as-of-yet-unknown giant blond person reasons, they have decided that women should get educations and be assertive. You think this is a bad idea, but they are the guys who fought for your country, so you guess what they say goes.
     
     > Some of these new "feminist" people are in a cult, doing weird wiccan stuff with your president. You have no idea what to do about this, the giant blonds either don't know or don't care.
     
     > Also, because of their influence, the birthrate is gradually drifting towards oblivion. You are told that you might go extinct. The feminists create a viral hand gesture meme (🤌🏻) to mock you for feeling bad about this, which mocks the size of your mens' penises (apparently in comparison to those of the giant blond people).
     
     > Worst of all, the guys who occupied you in the first place are now the giant blond peoples' favorite country in your region, despite how much you openly adore them.
     
     It'd mess me up too.
