What would it look like if a car and a tank met?

There's actually a weirdo who made this unique car that you'd only see in movies or comics.

What the hell is MBC doing?

They're really pushing that ethics training hard

If Starbucks foam messes up, people should lose their minds over this too

๐Ÿฐ

wait, they actually mocked the 5.18 uprising?? that's literally one of the darkest moments in modern korean history, how did that air ๐Ÿ’€

๐Ÿฐ

The official fandom supporters are gonna flip out lmaooo

๐Ÿฟ๏ธ

By MBC's logic they should just shut down the whole station lol

Ugh... it's just Starbucks posts and counter-posts flooding in, damn these unfunny people. Does that Starbucks event feel the same as this? Like, think about it before you throw out your counter-argument. These boring idiots just piss me off. It's nothing like comparing the Candlelight Protests or a Japan boycott. You occasionally see younger communities get this way, but damn, there's a wall between online community people fr fr

This is just throwing a tantrum

floo got baited by this dumb derailment like they're ilbe

How much did the old guys get triggered to dig up stuff like this?

๐Ÿฐ

Old people can't find that kind of stuff. It's teenagers to twentysomethings, maybe early thirties at most. These kids grew up loving Cheoljgu and watching MC Moon, goofing around and turning into idiots, and that's what's leaking out now. What's actually creepy is how they genuinely think they're doing justice to save their own side from unfair attacks. But if you get too serious it feels like you're losing, so you just toss things out lightly like 'what is this' and 'what's even happening' โ€” but their real gut feeling is that they're screaming in silent despair

Oh fuck you political obsessives, chill out. Whether it's people staying politically infected over Starbucks or people getting triggered and posting this stuff, everybody just needs to chill out. Is this the same as the Starbucks controversy?

๐Ÿฐ

Honestly it's hilarious because Starbucks got hit so hard that they needed something to push back with, but they found some random MBC article from 2019 that has nothing to do with this situation and just dropped it like 'look what we found,' so they clearly got desperate lmaooo

okay but the apology better be genuine bc this isn't something you can just laugh off and move on from

๐ŸฆŠ

lmao news outlets really can't catch a break these days, one mistake and it's everywhere on twitter within minutes

๐Ÿฐ

as someone who studied this period, seeing major networks trivialize it is honestly infuriating. there's no excuse for that kind of carelessness.

๐Ÿฐ

not mbc doing the bare minimum of historical respect challenge (impossible) ๐Ÿ˜ญ but seriously this is why media literacy matters
