That actually distresses me so much. I’ve been on here a couple of years and truthfully never saw a post telling…
Hi there. I used to NEVER report anyone to the mods. Like, ever. I considered it "snitching" or "tattling," and I've never been that sort of person. However, over the last five years, during which I've become a huge fan of Asian cinema, especially Korean, as well as BL (I know, there's a lot of BL garbage), and watched the number of celebrity suicides grow ever longer, my perspective and attitude has changed.
Last week, when the throw-down between Knetz Killer Klowns and normal people came to a head in the thread under KSH's profile page, and I started to see those who trashed him with the slander I mentioned above be removed and banned, I thought "hell yeah! It's about damn time!" and joined in the report-fest. It's like taking a shower.
I am impressed with MDL for aggressively tackling this situation. I was surprised to see the mods go into hyper-mode, but glad they did. These threads are mostly a breath of fresh air now. As for it taking some effort, not at all! All you have to do is click the "report" button under the offending comment, copy and paste the comment into the pop-up that appears, point out the rule that's been broken, and hit "submit." Takes no time at all. I've probably reported 20 comments under KSH articles or on his profile page. It's fun! :) Join in!
And yes, it was just today that a knetz referred to KSH by the slurs mentioned above and urged him to off himself. Coming from people who do what they do, it's no surprise at all.
To non-Netz MDLers: Within the last three hours I reported and had removed from this thread, two comments left by Knetz. Report them when they violate the commenting rules clearly stated above. It's fun to turn them in and watch them disappear. Read below:
Thank you, MDL, for removing comments reported for calling KSH by terms such as "pedophile" and "abuser," labeling him for crimes of which he has not been charged or convicted.
Likewise, thank you for removing comments calling for KSH to kill himself or be killed by someone else. It is refreshing to know MDL will no longer tolerate such despicable garbage in its comment threads.
Notice to Netz from anywhere: Watch what you say. Others and I can and will report you to the mods. Crossing the line can get you banned from MDL altogether.
To non-Netz MDLers: I reported and got removed from this thread, FIVE comments left by Knetz. Report them when they violate the commenting rules clearly stated above. It's fun to turn them in and watch them disappear! Read below:

What a joke, someone holds a press conference in SK and the media run, more fool to you. Reeks of MHJ NewJeans…
The Korean wave of celebrity suicides really only got going after Princess Diana's death, but I get your point. These people attacking KSH are nutjobs.
Also, since I often criticize MDL for printing trashy articles that spread rumors and falsehoods about celebrities with zero credible evidence, I must say BRAVO! to MDL for publishing KSH's attorneys' statements without editorializing or sensationalizing it.
Why on Earth would you "hate" that? I found it inspiring, touching, and beautiful. She is a human being who made a big mistake and was suffering for it. But, the object of her mistake, a lovely man named Akin, FORGAVE her, which is a kind, generous thing for him to do. It shows us a lot about how good-hearted a person Akin is. And the over-zealous fan learned a huge and valuable lesson. Odds are, she will tell her other Akin stan friends how awesome and lovely he was, and good things will flow in all directions from this.
That you would rather have seen her charged and convicted, her life ruined at a young age over this, says a great deal about YOU. The judgementalism and vengeful attitudes toward others I see on MDL are scary.
Not sure you care but this is based on a very popular manga/anime; and much of the storyline is what is because…
This is a live-action, fiction drama. I would rather have whoever does what to whom be determined by the writers of the drama. If Akin had been nailed by the stage actor for real in the story, obviously it would be much more interesting/dramatic/challenging/exciting than the cop-out, little "oh, it never happened" explanation we got.
It doesn't matter what I "would rather have happen." I don't look to Thai dramas for my moral lessons, nor do I run out and have random sex outside my relationship just because I saw it happen in a series.
You sound immature. Human beings are fallible and make mistakes. People have affairs outside their relationships for all kinds of reasons; that is just a fact. And in many cases, the relationship can survive and thrive thereafter. "...cheating means the person doesn't care about their partner." No, no it does not necessarily mean that. In many cases there is a temporary rift in the relationship between two people who love each other, but something happens that leads to an affair.
"...but unfortunately many times forgiveness happens which sort of shows it’s ok to cheat as your partner will forgive anyways."
This is as judgemental and evil an attitude as I've seen here, but I know a lot of MDLers think this way: Why on Earth would you NOT want there to be forgiveness and a new beginning for romantic partners who hit a bump in a road, got over it, came together closer than before and went forward together in their lives with no further extramarital problems? Why would you wish that on other people? Why wouldn't you hope their relationship survives and they get back together?
"which sort of shows it’s ok to cheat as your partner will forgive anyways."
Good heavens, you really DO look to Thai dramas for your moral lessons. All the above shows is that a partner in a fictional drama cheated, then asked for forgiveness, it was granted, and they got back together. It doesn't show that in every situation like this in the real world the exact same thing SHOULD happen or DOES happen. The relationship in the story has nothing to do with my personal choices or yours.
This is not a difficult thing to understand. Over and over again, I am flabbergasted by people like you who look to fictional stories for moral guidance, and think it's horrible if anything happens they don't approve of. Stop watching the show if it offends you. There are hundreds of dramas in which there is no cheating at all. But cheating shows up frequently in shows because it is DRAMATIC and a common human frailty most people react strongly to, either way.
OK, I am wasting my time with this, because I know your type and you're not going to change your mind, no matter how sensibly I write here. Go believe what you will about the show. But I do suggest finding a better source of moral inspiration and guidance than BL dramas.
MDL doesn't tolerate this BS anymore.

KSH has not been proven to be a "pedophile." You are a liar.
Good job, MDL!
