Can we talk about this?!

#metoo in korea

I need y'all to know that while #metoo has been surging as a movement in south korea, the retaliation has been devastating.

The pence rule has been cited as a valid solution. Women are being plainly ignored in their workplace. Women are being pulled from business trips with male coworkers. Women are not being given job opportunities bc of potential exposure to male coworkers. Women are not being hired bc of the “danger” they pose to the men.

They’re not fixing the behavior of men. They’re blaming it all on women, and the women are being forced to bear the brunt of the repercussions.

The women are suffering for speaking out not just on a person by person basis of “you could’ve done better/you were seducing him”, but on a larger, systemically oppressive scale.

Rather than educating men to respect boundaries and just not sexually harass/assault women, they’re limiting the presence and mobility of women. They’re getting rid of the women in the workplace. Bc that solves the problem.

I know a lot of this is redundant, but I am angry. And embarrassed. And frustrated. When I heard about this, I was so, so disappointed. I wanted Korea to be better than this.

So please, be angry about this too. Spread it and let it be known that this is not okay. That this is unacceptable.

I know it has nothing to do with your interest in the country’s music or drama or other media/entertainment, but it is SO important that you not ignore this.

I remember when I first found out the truth about “Somali pirates” I got chills because of how horrific the truth was and how insanely creepily well the media had twisted the situation. Every single fucking article making it seem like these “pirates” were just after money or something holding innocent people hostage and I never gave it a second thought, why would I? There was no indication that people were trying to legitimately fight off disgusting imperialism that left nuclear waste in their waters, that over 300 people have died from radiation sickness, that Europeans have been stealing Somalia’s seafood because they overfished their own waters and the indigenous fisherman are starving and so these “pirates” emerged to deal with those stealing their country’s natural resources. The truth is enough to make anyone sick to their stomachs.

I WILL BE CENSORED AFTER DEC 14TH

Good, I’ve got your attention. I’ve heard about this net neutrality bullshit returning. I fought it when it started popping up a few years ago, and I’m going to fight it again. Guys, it’s BACK AGAIN and even worse theres a big chance it will END UP PASSING!

This could literally mean a shit ton of you wont be able to see me anymore if your provider decides that they want to regulate/censor, sayyy overly sexual content. You’ll also have to pay extra money to even use Tumblr!

Please guys, we defeated this shit once, we can do it again. They’re trying to do it now while people are distracted by the holidays and fucking Justice League. As of today, it seems as though there have only been 266,810 calls made to Congress. This is NOT good enough!! MILLIONS of people use the net, and if each one of them took 60 seconds to call and protect it, holy balls do you KNOW how much of a difference that would make??? But noooo, you’re busy streaming an ecchi anime that wont be available to you soon!!!!!

Heres a direct link to make a difference (theres also links to other sites of the same nature on here), and yes, YOU can make a fucking difference because this is YOUR internet at stake here. If you’re not going to make the call, share this and maybe SOMEONE fucking will!! This is important as shit and we cant afford to lose. Dec 14th is the deadline.

B.A.P has released a mysterious teaser image.  Hinting at a possible impending comeback?

Six teenagers from the Burundi robotics team, who had come to Washington to compete in an international competition, were reported missing to D.C. police on Wednesday, according to police reports.

The missing teenagers range in age from 16 to 18 and include four males and two females, police said

Police identified the missing teenagers on Twitter as:

Richard Irakoze, 18, a black male with a dark complexion who is 5-foot-11, 140 pounds; 

Kevin Sabumukiza, 17, a black male with a medium complexion who is 6-foot-4, 160 pounds; 

Nice Munezero, 17, a black female with a dark complexion who is 5-foot-7, 140 pounds; 

Aristide Irambona, 18, a black male with a dark complexion who is 5-foot-6, 130 pounds;

 Don Ingabire, 16, a black male with a medium complexion who is 5-foot-8, 130 pounds;

 Audrey Mwamikazi, 17, a black female with a dark complexion who is 5-foot-3, 130 pounds.

We’re living in such a scary world and we, as a community, can’t let this go unnoticed. This racism and hatred  black people experience every day  in America might have become the reason these teens are missing right now. Share this to find them as soon as possible, because you can save a life. If you have any information about them- call the police. Don’t stay aside.

Have y'all seen this? Apparently a young black woman was pushed down the steps by the owner of the AirBNB she was staying at.
