"gaetal .... it has a ring to it"
"gae/y (게이)? tal. gaetal. say the full name. people will misunderstand" (episode 2, 28:04)

did he just ... make a gay joke? 😂

i read your theory earlier and agree that the parents conducted immoral experiments on their daughter. they wanted a "perfect" daughter who excels academically, deciphers any and all languages, and comprehends the world in complex ways that differ from age-expected norms. the police were surprised by her grown-up bedroom

the experiments violated the principles of morality. the necessary condition for human experimentation to be legal and moral is the patient's informed consent. their daughter was/is a child. she couldn't/can't consent to the experiments

it's a worse form of child abuse

hae jin (moo chan) might not be dog mask? that'd be a shame. the story of a police officer patrolling the streets at night to catch escaped criminals as part of his ongoing war on crime and proving his competence would have been interesting

dog mask: the government is incompetent. there are rotten people everywhere. just you wait, i'm coming for you
the police: what a crazy bastard, i think he'll cause trouble soon

dog mask is doing your job! thank him!

the government demonstrates a persistent failure to uphold the oath they took to serve people. loopholes in law open the cell doors, allowing criminals to be released from prison before the completion of their sentence. noone would play batman or robin hood if you weren't so bad at your jobs. don't blame or arrest dog mask. blame and arrest yourselves

you don't care about the criminals who walk free. you care about a "criminal" who executes criminals? ignore him. give him the preferential treatment you give other criminals

the police: i want to live in a world free of crazy bastards

that's what dog mask wants! the difference is that you're all bark and no bite. dog mask is all bark and all bite. he's the change he wants to see in the world. i support and admire him

yu na (ro hee)'s skin injuries constitute child abuse. her parents were abusive

yu na (ro hee)'s parents abused her. her amnesia might have stemmed from emotional shock and trauma. the brain blocked important memories in a process called dissociation to prevent the retrieval of the negative emotions associated with child abuse

what else were her parents up to? that operating room was suspicious. did they harvest organs?

kye sang (myung joon) unintentionally saved yu na (ro hee) from her abusive parents and trauma. he's the dependable and trustworthy father yu na (ro hee) wanted. the father her birth "father" wasn't. the police are after the wrong person

who do you think orchestrated the kidnapping?

sung hoon from psychopathic diary, sang ho from kingdom, shin rok from beyond evil and jae hee from miraculous brothers are extraordinarily nuanced and serious actors/actresses. they played neurotic, complex or morally ambiguous characters who didn’t neatly fit into the label of "hero" or "villain." what fascinates me in "the kidnapping day" is the diverse range of characters they play with relative ease. sung hoon plays the role of a detective. shin rok plays the role of a "deadbeat" parent and kidnapping co-conspirator. this is a perfect ensemble cast

kye sang and yu na's father/daughter dynamic is sure to entertain and move anyone. their transformative journey has been filled with challenges, growth, and rewarding moments

da bin (na hee) to the men who treat her as a woman: treat me as a colleague, not a woman!
da bin (na hee) to the man (du jin) who treats her as a colleague: treat me as a woman, not a colleague!

she doesn't know what she wants

and she doesn't look like someone who completed military training courses. identifying men or women who could successfully serve in marine corps requires intensive screening and physical fitness tests. the women serving in active combat roles and doing strength training build muscle bulk. they are heavier than their untrained, small counterparts. da bin (na hee) looks untrained and small. like a princess. she doesn't have the strength to carry out the duties of a female soldier

didn't the cast include jun ho? why was he removed?

japan hasn't analyzed the long-term association between the consumption of pedophilic content and the subsequent perpetration of hands-on pedophilic offenses. how can there be unbiased data?

some empirical studies do provide support for the conclusion that the current level of "sexual" offenses in our societies has been boosted by the long-term effects of exposure to a steady diet of dramatic, problematic "sexual" content. for example: https://shorturl.at/eitBX

quoting the article:

"Contrary to the catharsis perspective, violent pornography consumers were more—not less—likely to commit actual acts of sexual aggression

As with all behavior, sexual aggression is caused by a confluence of factors and many pornography consumers are not sexually aggressive. However, the accumulated data leave little doubt that, on the average, individuals who consume pornography more frequently are more likely to hold attitudes conducive to sexual aggression and engage in actual acts of sexual aggression than individuals who do not consume pornography or who consume pornography less frequently"

although this phenomenon is complex and multifactorial, there's a possible link between "sexual" offenses and problematic "sexual" content. why wouldn't there be one between pedophilic offenses and pedophilic content? pedophilic offenses are "sexual" offenses

children are sexually or non-sexually assaulted on a large scale. it's an underreported crime. the collected data denying the negative effects of pedophilic content on consumers or children rests on dubious, biased assumptions. our goal should be to collect accurate data from large samples representative of a broad population. that will provide less biased results. till then, the solution is to block or filter access to pedophilic content

anti-incest beliefs relate to the well-being of family members. incest commonly disrupts family structures. in incest, the conditions for a healthy development are undermined. precisely those conditions that will enable family members in due time to acquire the basic capacities underlying the principle of "mutual consent" are broken down

i understand what you're saying. i just see it differently

every (western or non-western) culture has its strengths and weaknesses. the criticism that the weaknesses receive is an opportunity for growth. please try not to take it personally

i shared the side of the japanese culture that i dislike. i'll share the side that i like. i like japan's vending machines, onsens, shopping centers, kimonos, yukatas, fireworks festivals, food and music. my favorite japanese song: https://youtu.be/0me_7B2rRIE?feature=shared

see? i'm not stirring up anti-japanese sentiment

i'm rooting for 7-7.5/10

your accuracy is on vacation. 9.1 is too high

i hope not. the final score should be 7-7.5/10

moving has a formulaic, disposable marvel/dc story. it's miles worse than move to heaven and weak hero class 1 that eschew "romance" for a welcome dose of social consciousness. they are packed to the gills with realistic depictions of inequality, bullying, revenge/justice and, most importantly, companionship. their male characters raised their hands together to reach what they couldn't reach alone. their companionship is a tie to the past, a road to the future, and a key to sanity in an insane world. it's true love. truer than anything that was/is between moving's characters

it's a 7-7.5/10

venus: if i come home and see something like this again, you'll have to pay for my therapy-
janus: let's go a second round in front of him, bom!
venus: 😒 (episode 1, 16:34)

venus was like, "are you serious? right in front of my salad?"

can't you tell the difference between negative and positive depictions of crime? "murder" mysteries don't promote "murder." their goal is to horrify the fans. they satisfy truth-seeking motivations by offering meaningful insights into aspects of the human condition. fans put on their detective hats to discover the who, what, when, where, and how. what makes criminals tick? what drives them to commit the crime? why that particular crime? how to rehabilitate them? they address the topic of crime and its consequences on the deceased

stories that identify the mundane, "non-sexual" roots of pedophilia, incest or rape are rare. the common positive depictions of pedophilia, incest or rape promote pedophilia, incest or rape. their goal is to arouse the fans. they don't address the topic of crime or its consequences on survivors. they show no consequences. no physical or psychological trauma, and no judgment about the immorality of the act. they are an opportunity for personal gratification, having little interest in the personal dimension of the crime itself

the common fascination with humiliated fictional girls and women is testament to a lack of public engagement beyond shock value or gratification. that's a problem, and it's called the paradox of fiction—why would people be aroused by imagined stories of pedophilia, incest or rape? how can imaginary things be arousing? can't people tell apart fiction from reality? the answer is that the brain doesn't know fiction is fiction. it suspends disbelief and reacts to fiction as though it were real

imagination and perception of reality rely on overlapping brain circuits. given that the same circuits are involved, that the neural mechanisms supporting imagery overlap with those supporting perception of reality, a foundational question is how imagination and reality can be kept apart. how can you be sure that you or other people aren't influenced by fiction?

you can't be sure. it's possible to confuse the two. strong virtual or imagined signals are subjectively indistinguishable from reality

fiction can and does influence us and our mental health. we should be careful what fiction we create or consume

the "right" to freedom of speech and expression isn't absolute. i believe speech or expression that promotes crime shouldn't be protected

"... like Laws of Desire or I Feel You Linger"

they are quirky, adventure-oriented bls. i define bls as gay-themed stories that feature men loving men. defining them as [stereotypes] doesn't give them a chance to improve or incorporate into themselves mind-bending complexity. we can take elements from multiple genres, like bl, comedy, fantasy, action, etc, and weave them together to make something unique. we don't say, "fantasy romances aren't really romances." do we?

"bl" is a quirky and fabulous way of saying "gay romance." the kind of romance that promises happy endings and keeps its promises

or that's my boy (2012) that involves a 12-year-old boy hooking up with his 22-year-old female teacher. or the diary of a teenage girl (2015) that involves a 15-year-old girl winding up in bed with a 35-year-old man. or pretty little liars (2010-2017) that involves older men dating underage girls. or avatar: the last airbender (2005–2008) that involves the 112-year-old aang with the mind and body of a 12-year-old kissing the 14-year-old katara. or ... the list goes on and on

people excuse these inappropriate "straight" stories, saying that they "push boundaries" and "break taboos." why don't they excuse gay age gap stories?

there's a double standard here

i'm mostly against someone dating someone else whose age is less than half their own plus 6-7 years. for example, a 22-year-old shouldn't date someone younger than 17-18 (half of 22, plus 6-7). this varies depending on the gap in emotional maturity. does the younger partner act like a kid? the 17-year-old zong yi doesn't act like a kid. he has adult goals and works towards them. i'm not against his relationship with a 22-year-old man
