Tl;dr:

The Gwangju Uprising was a series of student-led pro-democratic demonstrations that took place in Korea in 1980. These protests are known to have been violently suppressed by the military, resulting in a massacre of civilians, but the mod depicted protesters as armed and violent criminals (according to YNA), thus framing the military regime’s brutality as justified.

This mod maker’s next project will be showing how peaceful the Jan 6th riot was.

Followed closely by how grocery man was threatening the tank with a baguette in Tiananmen Square.

What a fucking cunt.

That made me curious. Firefox + Ublock Origin just a wall of text in a pop-up. I hit the X and it didn’t bother me further.

To this day, I’m at a loss to explain why people go piddling around in this festering pool of our modern Internet® without a fucking condom (much less: bleach, flamethrowers, etc.)

Love Valve and I know nothing about these events but I’m not a fan of removing something like this. I mean, with a few exceptions, let people make up their own minds on what offends them or not.
