When you encounter "That Koreans" , remember this:
In SNS space, insults and mockery are not tools for debate. they're weapons used to drive out people with differing opinions. Their goal is not to uncover the truth, but to protect their own territory, and to them, outsiders getting hurt by the ridicule and leaving is itself considered a “victory.” No matter how accurate your facts or logic are, they are not gathered there to examine the truth in this place.
Being able to stay by her side for a long time in a healthy state of mind is also the best kind of support you can give her.
The incident with Kronii and losing her VA role has shown me that absolutely stupid and ridiculous snowflake behaviour really can take place just about anywhere nowadays. This time it is with SOME Korean Netizens.
So the full context and story to be best of my understanding...Kronii did her usual dead inside narration of games she played, one of those games is called "Eternal Return", which is a Korean Battle Royale MOBA.
During that 2021 Stream, Kronii made her usual Dad-jokes, namely the "Boar pun", where she said the boar was "Boar-ing". She also made another similar joke with a tire, "tire-ing".
So basically, Kronii being usual Kronii.
For some reason though, the usual Kronii puns and jokes upsetted the Korean fans of the game, because according to them "Kronii making those puns and sounding so tired means she is throwing shade at Eternal Return".
In other words, they made fanfiction of what they thought Kronii meant, and held a grudge over it for at least 4 years.
So fast-forward to today - when Kronii was expected to voice a character for Eternal Return, the Korean playerbase apparently pressured the devs to kick her out of the role.
Which the devs did, Kronii was unceremoniously booted from the role and obviously it came as a huge shock and disappointment to her.
So the whole manufactured outrage stemmed from:
-Tribalism for a game
-Some lost in translations and jokes not landing
-Mob pressure and cancel culture
So now, the game is getting large amounts of negative reviews. Honestly, its expected. The devs bent to a cancel mob, victimised someone over JOKES AND PUNS...and now they are paying the price.
@VoceSabiaAnime A pior parte é que o trocadilho foi só com um monstrinho que ela matou durante o jogo, ela nem tava de fato insultando o jogo em si, o trocadilho só foi traduzido errado pelo Grok e os coreanos levaram como fato
Sério, é uma história tão ridícula que parece uma ficção mal escrita
As an eternal return content creator it's really sad to see the state of ER right now 😭. But I want to say I'm super proud of how the Eng community has banded together to support kronii. Every discord server I'm in is rioting about the unfairness of it.
