Gender wars in Corea
tp4tissue:
Seems absurd upfront.
It's apparently a big deal, as Corea's incel population reaches critical mass.
Large corporations are policing all media material to actively remove any content which can be construed as "Pro-Feminist."
Surveyed young male shoppers 18-35 go as far as to consider a company/retailer's "political stance on feminism" before choosing to spend. (They are ~73% anti-feminist)
This year, 2024, 157 elementary schools across Corea has 0x enrolled 1st graders. Fertility collapse.
Is it the video games? Ya play enough of them corean fan-service MMOs, this is the outcome?

Apparently, this image is what set the corean anti-feminist movement ablaze.
Players of the nexon game campaigned that the finger pinch gesture is designed after pro-feminist organization logos which featured it.
But then soon after, corean men found similar hand gestures in all sorts of ad-material and protested against the brands/corporations with net driven viral boycotts.
THEN after that, the actual Feminist groups of corea got involved, and began boycotting the stores that "removed" the pinch-gesture from their material.
The owners/ board members of these companies in korea are overwhelmingly old men, age 53+, and they all went, WAHT Even is this?
Ads featuring the Pinch

Japan has the same problem. The people in their country don't want to ****, but they keep horny immigrants out who find Japanese people very sexy. Then they complain how their population is declining.

LOLOL, it's not that they don't want to, the economic conditions make it impossible to BENEFIT from having children.
When children are born slaves, as is the case in all capitalist societies, their benefit is primarily diverted to enrich the wealthy land owning class.
Someone pays a heavy personal price to have the children, then the fruit of their labor and the child's future labor is extracted away from the birth family. You can only push this so far before it's impossible to have children, leading to a feedback loop in cultural-attitudes towards anti-natalism, and flame out.
So, this is much the same everywhere where modern economics exist. It's all going down hill.

Absolutely true, the price of raising children is extremely high by any measure - time, money, energy, emotions - and a whole lot more during that middle third of your life when they must be your primary focus.
But the rewards are infinitely greater and there is nothing that rewards the sacrifice like the love given and recieved within a family.
It is tragic that so many of the "best and brightest" of the younger generations are "opting out" of ensuring that the best of the human race continues to flourish.
