Ppl saying what ml did was reasonable and right are just... idk if its cus yall didn't rea...

Justice? Korea? LOL I have to laugh.

Minor or not, the acts are both disgusting. Minors was clearly old enough to know how heinous it was to send videos to his mother of the act, knowing how she would react etc.

But I agree that ML went too far. I had to stop at the dog

Also what do you mean by “ao we can justify his actions(?)”.

Korea or not we know the law is fucked up around the world but why sit aside and act all weak cus of that. I watch sa cases mostly from Korea and I can't help but feel absolute anger torwards the law system there. But my personal opinion is, strikes and demonstrations exists for a reason, us as civilians have to defend our rights or else everyone would say nah the law won't do me shit and go on to take their rights by their hands, which is what the ml did here, which would create chaos in our world.

Not even strikes will help, that’s how horrible the Korea justice system sucks. They give such low sentences to rapists, child molesters. And this is fiction, not to assume anything but if the author is a woman, I can see why they’re making these fucked up stories. There’s a lot of Korean ladies that make these dark stories to vent, a lot of hatred towards Korean men (justified), so I just try not to think too much of it. I still express my disgust regardless.

There’s also chaos the moment ML went through what he did, and some victims will not back down till they get what they want (revenge). I genuinely just don’t care if the ML got back at the MC, however he went too far, tooo far and nasty. Barf

Literally I see cases of ladies being killed daily there jeez. It’s horrid.

Also I forgot to add in my ^ above reply, I do think ML should’ve gone a better path instead of stooping to MC’s level and doing the same thing MC did (but objectively worse), like maybe just beating him bloody and bribing the officers to arrest the shit out of him.

Or even better, planting drugs on MC and getting the cops there to arrest. He can face higher sentences for drug use, and it would be a way of justice for ML.

But no.

And yeah, scary how drug use gets higher sentence and makes headlines more than SA cases as far as I’ve seen.

Okey so let me explain my point:
There's a difference between justifying an action and excusing it. For example if a mentally ill person sĺapped sm1, we can say it's justified cause they're mentally ill but NOT excused, so basically it means what they did was wrong but they have certain circumstances for doing it. Another example if an angry man slapped his wife, its justified cause he's angry but not excused as his wife may not forgive him even given the fact that he was angry.

So for minors they're NOT like adults they can't think straight and they're not capable of understanding the full degree of their actions. For the ,sending the pics to ml's mom thing, the minor may have done it cus it seems cool, "look at what I did am so powerfull" type of thing, not necessarily understanding that what they did is a big ass crime.
And saying that minors r like adults is completely not valid that's why minors are not punished like adults in the first place yk.

(This may seem like am defending the mc's actions but trust me am mentally stable)

That's what am saying there r better ways to get revenge without turning into the same monster you're tryna bring down.

Um. The MC knew what he was doing, him being young doesn’t make it alright or anywhere near okay. The kids definitely knew it was a crime, otherwise they would’ve openly admitted to what they did.

The kids weren’t mentally ill.

They’re all monsters.

I didn't say the kids were mentally ill also didn't they technically admit what they did by sending the pics to his mom?

Also justifying and excusing is practically the same thing. I think you’re confused.

If you’re not trying to defend, what are you trying to say? Not all minors are stupid. I knew what rape was when I was younger than MC who committed the crime.

Just because they might not have fear doesn’t mean they didn’t know it was wrong. If you know how Korea works, minors don’t or can’t get charged with crimes like murder or rape. They can most likely or always get away with it unlike an adult committing it.

Justifying and excusing are not the same thing, one argues something was right, the other explains why it happened. Understanding a reason is not the same as agreeing with it. You can recognize factors that led to sm1's actions without saying those actions were acceptable.

Also, personal experience isn’t a universal measure. U may have known what rape was at a certain age, but that doesn’t mean every minor has the same understanding, maturity, or context. Development, education, and environment vary widely, and ignoring that erases important nuances in how responsibility is assessed.

Am law major ik how the law works especially in that country dw. Also thats hypocritical u just said "The kids definitely knew it was a crime, otherwise they would’ve openly admitted to what they did." Then said "Just because they might not have fear doesn’t mean they didn’t know it was wrong." After I stated that they acc admitted what they did, at least to the mom. So u opposed ur first statement.

They are related though. Not same I will agree.

“Explains why it happened”, what explains MC’s raping the ML? Him being a minor doesn’t explain him being a rapist.

Point is: Whether someone understood the full weight of the act or not, rape is still rape, and the harm to the victim is real. REGARDLESS OF AGE.

Some minors who commit sexual violence may not fully understand the consequences of their actions due to immaturity or lack of proper education but that doesn’t make the act any less harmful or wrong.

I hope you can agree to that at least.

That isn’t exactly hypocritical. To phrase it better, I meant that hiding something can show guilt or awareness of wrongdoing, but even if they did admit it, that doesn’t mean they didn’t know it was wrong. Confession or lack of fear isn’t the only measure of awareness!

My points stand. The kids can know that it was a crime and still be open about it to the victim and victim’s family, but not OPENLY about it in the public because many people in the public will hate on them regardless of the country’s law on minors not being able to get charged.

I think you’re very confused: One of the statement you pointed out as being “hypocritical” is about knowledge of wrongdoing (moral/legal awareness..

And the other is about behavior after the act (whether they confessed or not).

I'll be crazy to not agree with what u said about rape beings rape, ofc I totally agree with that.
I think u lost track of what we were arguing about I said the whole minors explanation thing cus u stated that minors r like adults yk.

Anyways, I don’t get why you pointed out the MC’s age as if him being a minor will help his case at all, he’s still a rapist regardless. He is not stupid. Let’s not try to dumb minors down to fit your narrative. He most definitely knew if you properly read the novel, and his friends. Blocked because it’s hard to speak with stupidity, worst a person that tries to nuance a fairly black/white situation. Rape is rape.
