@Christina-Drama Sorry, I'm not sure what you mean? Are you referring to the comment I made in reply to "monstersnroses"? I have no anger towards you or your replies. In fact, I fully agree with all you've written here.

I never said to boycott, or that I think this actor needs to be cancelled or the like. I also didn't do the ww2 comparison for no reason. The issue at hand stems from a show about ww2, and the upset is a result of the atrocities Japan enacted on other nations like Korea during that time. All I did was trying to explain to people in this comment section why "k-netz are annoying and mad about nothing and everything" is entirely the wrong way to look at this. I don't deny that it's problematic to compare everything to nazis, but in this case we're literally talking about the ww2 allies of the nazis. It's a very relevant comparison and the exact reason as to why Koreans are upset about his comment.

Also, I AM gen z, I don't care how fatigued me or any other gen z person is, we can't just say "I'm tired of hearing about this" and call it a day. And most gen z don't, so I don't know what you're on about.
I won't apologise for my great-grandfather's actions, I never have, since that is not my sin to apologise for. I do not believe that the sin of the father is the sin of the son, but we have to acknowledge what the people before us did and not make insensitive comments about the greatness of those who caused pain and devastation to so many. I know the world is currently on fire, both metaphorically and literally, and that this is such a small issue in the grand scheme of things, but that does not mean that Koreans being upset about his comment are not valid.

And your whole rant about all those issues going on right now? Why are you mad at me and my lone comment? I didn't cause those things, I'm not responsible for their solving. If they bother you so much, go campaign, raise awareness in relevant places instead of responding to a random comment about a Korean drama.
But I hope I'm misreading your comment, as you seem displeased with the AfD being disenfranchised (which to my knowledge they are not)? I am of German descent, but I never lived there myself, so correct me if I'm wrong, but they are a right-wing extremist party, and your comment makes it sound like you're on their side? If that's the case, that's all I need to know about what kind of person you are and will no longer engage with anything you have to say, because clearly you're just mad that others have empathy when you don't.

Oh, and since you seem to think I'm a person with a black and white worldview just because I mentioned jews and nazis, let me be very clear: I definitely think Jews can be criticised. Free Palestine.

As someone with German ancestry, I would never EVER say I was "proud" of my great-grandfather. I think a lot of people in this comment section need to read up on history before defending that comment. It makes me very uncomfortable that so many see no issue with it. Imagine if, still to this day, Germany refused to acknowledge many of their wrongdoings and acted like there was no need to apologise to jews, and the only apologies they ever made were coaxed out of them. This kind of comment could be fine if you also acknowledge the wrongdoings and horrors committed by your country, but as long as they refuse to do that, that is a very, VERY concerning comment to make. In my humble opinion.

I don't think there's been any explanation given yet (in that case I also missed it), but my guess is he might be autistic. He behaves a lot like someone with autism would who hyper-fixates on L from Death Note. My younger sibling is autistic and his behaviour sometimes make me think of her, therefor my guess.
Or the writers just wanted to make him "quirky", which I hope isn't the answer.
