dear diary today i got mad about people memeifying squid game again
#i still don't understand what part of human suffering and death under capitalism is funny to you#and i still don't know what could compel one to create cutesy fanart of the GUARDS. the literal armed guards#call me bitter but i'll always hold a deep seated resentment towards those sparkly glitter cute uwu edits of the cast (read: gihun meme)#(<- and this is especially bc basically every person i saw who made those was Not korean.)#i have to wonder what makes you so comfortable commodifying their pain. is it because they don't look like you?#because they don't speak english like you? does this allow you to isolate their suffering to some place far away where it doesn't reach you#to me... anyone on that screen could have been my neighbor. a classmate. the bus driver who's driven the same route for the past 20 years.#the point of sg is that (outside of the cruel and outlandish death game) it reflects the bleak living reality for so many koreans.#and for such media to get warped so egregiously... it really does make my blood boil.#i should mention i went down this spiral again because of someone saying 'a store played 무궁화 꽃이 피었습니다 so i ran out asap'#like congratulations for being frightened of a children's play song?#can you realize the message wasn't that the game themes themselves were terrifying. but the way in which they were modified to kill#anyways i'm slowly cooling off#poca chat
