Just curious what's your country of origin? I'm wondering because you seem to be in a position to look down on…
At the risk of sounding elitist & self-serving, I'd argue top American universities do not generally offer vocationally-oriented degrees such as journalism (especially at the undergraduate level). The only exceptions are Columbia, a backup school for Harvard, MIT, Stanford, etc. rejects & Northwestern, a backup school for rejects from Columbia & other Ivy League schools.
Aside from that, for someone with 30 years of journalism experience, @etoks21 doesn't even bother to go to the original or even secondary source. That's bad enough, but it never occurred to him to do a simple fact-check of the MDL article.
It says that C-netizens were upset by the five gold stars on the carpet. So he says that that's something ridiculous to get upset over because there are more than five gold stars on the carpet.
But from what I understand, that's not what the C-netizens were pointing out. They were referring to the five-POINT stars on the carpet.
This @etoks21 character is an awful journalist, among other awful things.
LoL Chinese think free speech in the whole world is controlled by a one-party autocracy through chinese firewalls.…
Yes, Chinese citizens use VPN.
It's "illegal" in the sense that jaywalking is "illegal" here in the States. There's no way to enforce it & everyone does it anyway, so the authorities look the other way.
But let's look at your argument. If you say that Chinese citizens are using VPN to access Disney+, then presumably, they are using it to access other Western (non-Chinese) entertainment & media. So why on God's green earth, would they think that "free speech in the whole world is controlled by a one-party autocracy through chinese firewalls?" This is obviously a self-defeating argument.
So we have two possibilities:
1) you had no idea that this is a self-defeating arguments & that you actually believe what you were saying, which means you couldn't reason your way out of a deflated plastic bag of stinky kimchi;
2) you were actually under the mistaken impression that you were funny & clever but no one (especially not your mommy & daddy) had the heart to tell you that you're neither because you're a delicate snowflake that needs to boost its self-esteem by having Batman avatars to feel strong & brave when in reality you're a weak coward that insults 1.4 billion people behind their backs, again, to feel better about your sorry koreabooing self
Ok, at the risk of getting kicked out of MDL myself, I'll post your honest opinion about Chinese and Korean fans for you:
I, Juditnr1, the paragon of virtue that I am, am intellectually & morally superior to any and all Chinese & Korean fans, even though I probably don't know any non-trivial number of Chinese & Korean fans, don't read, speak, or write Chinese & Korean well, if at all.
I know all I need to know about any and all Chinese & Korean fans because I read several hundreds, ok, dozens of social media comments by alleged Chinese & Korean fans, even though I have absolutely no way of verifying their identity. How? Let's see...oh, yeah, I forgot, I'm omniscient too, which would render this entire paragraph superfluous, so just ignore it.
Just know that I'm better than Chinese & Korean fans. That's all you need to know. Trust me.
The original title in Chinese is actually quite poetic. But many international fans may not know or understand…
Yeah, right?
Unfortunately, most if not all of them deleted their comments shortly after I pointed out the absurdity of their conspiracy theories.
But you should check out the comments section under the article re: C-netz reaction to the K-drama Tempest. Quite a bit of back-and-forth going on between C-drama & K-drama fans!
These South Korean sycophants are still coughing up $2.7 billion U$D for the Hyundai plant in Atlanta, Ga.They…
No, but feel free to let yourself do whatever you wish to yourself. Upon request, I can provide you some additional suggestions for what you can do to yourself.
Just curious what's your country of origin? I'm wondering because you seem to be in a position to look down on…
Actually, you didn't say "those specific complaints were dumb." You said the C-netizens were dumb.
Two of the three sentences in your original post said this:
Sentence #1: "Chinese nitezen's [sic] that complained about this k-drama has to be the dumbest people on earth."
Sentence #3: "Their gavornments [sic] are trying their hardest to cover everything up, and their dumb people are making things easier sadly."
Nowhere in your OP do you say what you say you said. Your first sentence says the C-netizens who complained about this K-drama aren't only dumb, but "the dumbest people on earth."
Your last sentence doesn't even restrict itself to talking about the C-netizens who complained about the K-drama, but C-netizens in general: so basically any C-netizen who are "dumb" enough (by your standards) to believe whatever the Chinese government chooses to tell them, which could include any and all C-netizens you (as the author of this sentence) decides to fit this category.
In the span of a 3-sentence OP & a brief follow-up post, you've outed yourself as a pathological liar, and not a particularly good one at that.
It gets better. The confirmation of Yu Menglong's death came out a week AFTER Tempest's release. This alone essentially negates the entirety of your (mostly fake & disingenuous) argument. You chose the modus operandi of most of the koreaboos that post on MDL: shoot first & ask questions later when it comes to C-netz, C-ent, C-dramas, & China in general. Your cringey af screenname suggests that you're a koreaboo of the worst variety, the lowest of the low, likely a non-Korean that festishes Asian (specifically Korean) men.
You were "frustrated" by the criticism about this K-drama not out of some deep empathetic concern (that you're faking) over China's national "tragedy and loss" of Yu Menglong or C-netizens & their priorities, but simply because you got easily triggered that someone allegedly "slammed" something you care deeply about.
Basically, you get triggered by the C-netizens getting triggered, but don't get triggered when you yourself get triggered even though their reason for getting triggered is more compelling than yours.
The C-netizens are protesting for their national pride & over the (symbolic) trampling of their national flag. You're protesting for your entertainment value & over the (perceived) trashing of your K-dramas.
But how correct is that perception? China's population size is approximately one-and-a-half billion. Let's say that thousands or even several tens of thousands "slammed" Tempest. That'd still make up what? 0.003%? 0.004%? of China's total citizenry. Is this something for you koreaboos to get worked up over? A tiny, trivial percentage of the Chinese citizenship & netizenship, not to mention non-representative sample.
In light of all this, it's entirely plausible, if not highly likely that this article is nothing but clickbait intended to generate viewership & revenue, especially since the primary MDL membership base is made up of K-drama fans. (Which is why MDL publishes more Kdrama-related articles than those related to the dramas of all other Asian countries combined).
Assuming this is the case, then you are just as dumb as the C-netizens you say are dumb for believing whatever their government chooses to tell them because you believe whatever the media or more specifically social media (e.g. MDL) chooses to tell you. But C-netizens know to take what their government tells them with a grain of salt (heck, the Chinese government makes no secret that Chinese media is state-sponsored). On the contrary, you (& your fellow koreaboos) buy whatever MDL tells you hook, line, & sinker, which explains why you posted your initial nonsense without any apparent thinking or reflection involved. And even after getting called out, in response you posted even more nonsense to back up your original nonsense.
It's one thing to be dumb. It's quite another to be too dumb to know you're dumb. And yet another to be too dumb to learn to stop being dumb. Add pathological lying & (intellectual) dishonesty to the mix, & you've got a lethal combination of the most combustible order.
Chinese nitezen's that complained about this k-drama has to be the dumbest people on earth. China just lost a…
Just curious what's your country of origin? I'm wondering because you seem to be in a position to look down on the intelligence of people from another country and call some of them "the dumbest people on earth."
During my high school days competing in international academic (math & physics) competitions, the Chinese students did quite well. Actually, that's an understatement. They dominated the International Mathematics & Physics Olympiads, which are the generally regarded as the two most prestigious & rigorous global youth academic contests.
@David33 It's better to remain silent and be thought a fool (or koreaboo) than to speak and to remove all doubt.
(a) 1 < 759
(b) Against which countries did China wage war in recent decades? And which among them did China invade?
(c) No, not technically speaking. In 1949, the Chinese Communist Party defeated the Chinese Nationalist Party in the Chinese Civil War. Instead of honorably negotiating terms of peace & surrender, the Chinese Nationalist Party fled to Taiwan where they basically colonized the (indigenous)people living there. This is why Taiwan is still a part of China in the same way the Confederate States are still part of the Union (the United States). This is called the "One China Policy" which the international community (including the United Nations & the United States) officially acknowledges.
(d) Last but not least, if you mess something up, does this make you a warmonger or not?
Given that, for whatever reason, you refuse to answer a simple 'yes' or 'no' question, you probably shouldn't go around calling other persons "clueless and lazy," especially since you've been proven wrong time & time again.

"Different strokes." I don't know if pun intended or not, but I loled!
Also, I'm not sure @etoks21 identifies as a "he." Could be "it," for all I know.
Just curious what you mean in your other reply to me by "he is like that."
Who is like what?
Go back to watching cartoons in your mommy's basement, you little koreabooing troll.
Are you gonna be like...sure, whatever to this post & respond to it too?
And as usual, I liked my own comment as well.
All this "end of discussion" & blocking me nonsense is just your way of playing hard to get.
Because I live rent-free in your silly, little head!

Possibility #1: You have low IQ
Possibilitily #2: You have low EQ
So which is it low IQ, or low EQ? Or is it both?
