A community for discussing events around the World
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Not as ridiculous as it sounds if you read the article. They rejected the argument that they were attacking the fictional character and not the people, because they were clearly targeting the people.
The comments aren't illegal everywhere (honestly it's the kinda shit that gets said about every Vtuber, to the point where it's banal to me) but Korea probably has stricter defamation laws than, say, the US.
Korea absolutely has much stricter defamation laws to the point I'm afraid to give a restaurant less than 5 stars on UberEats. I kid, but you really gotta be careful what you say about people online or even in person. I had a co-worker call our boss a liar and get sued for it. Dude was definitely a liar.
Would you be allowed to say something neutral like "I did not enjoy my meal"?
Haha. Yeah. I was being a bit hyperbolic about the five stars thing.
Yeah vtubers are a little different than a traditional cartoon character. If someone hates Homer Simpson and says he has sex with dogs when he's not on TV that is obviously absurd, but if someone says that about a vtuber the implication is that this is about the real person who portrays the vtuber. IMO if something would be illegal to say about a regular streamer, it should probably be illegal to say about a vtuber. I am generally on the side of freedom of speech on these things, but I think for consistency's sake the law should treat the two similarly.
Is it because they're IPs owned by corporations?
It's because they are voiced by real people.
Attack the virtual avatar as a thin vail to.hide the fact your actually attacking the voice actor is a real problem.
Fuck it happens in audiobooks for heaven sakes.
