Watching the games, he was mostly correct. This gave him useful advance information. Now he's saying that since the clan has fallen apart, he won't have that useful advance information anymore. He is not condoning the molestation of children, he is bemoaning the loss of intel that furthered his chance of making large amounts of money in the tournament and doing it in a funny way. People really need to get a sense of humor. I feel the need to bring this up since we are deep in the thread now. IdrA's comment wasn't a sexual joke, but more of a bashing towards some members of WeRRa, who do all in builds/plays. | ||

Please take advantage of any or all of these alternatives if you have concerns regarding that one crude, insensitive post made 200ish posts ago that had nothing to do with the scandal that caused WeRRa to disband. | ||

What we're dealing with is somebody in a position of power who sexually assaulted a younger boy. "According to part of the Protection of Minors from Sexual Exploitation Law [50], it is a criminal offense to coerce a minor under the age of 19 to a sexual act. Culturally it is not accepted to have sexual act with a minor under the age of 19 even with the consent of the minor at the age of 13 or above, as evidenced by surprise and uproar when a man was acquitted of sexual relationship with a 16-year old teenage runaway in 2001. [51]" He's both both legally and socially in a shit-load of trouble. It's not paedophilia, but it is basically rape. Socially, it might as well be paedophilia. At the same time though, don't look at it like he sexually abused a 6-year old. I think we all remember when we were 15 and the hijinx we got up to. EDIT: It's still a terribly sad turn of events for LoveRip and WeRRa. It's really too bad Gundam resorted to this, don't they have craigslist in Korea? I don't know what you're quoting, but it differs from country to country. Here in Australia the age of consent is 16 for men and women, and 18 for gay men. Differs from place to place. | ||

Almost like he has no sympathy. User was temp banned for this post. | ||

Sure he did say enough for us to assume that Gundam really did molest him but I don't think anyone outside of the WeRRa clan could really know what happened, (except of course family, friends etc.). My heart defiantly goes out to the kid being strong enough to say what he did, but who knows if thats all that the perv really did to him. Anyways i hope all goes well for the rest of the WeRRa clan, defiantly a bummer that one pedo gets to destroy an amazing clan (even if he was the manager) I was thinking the same thing...just because he said that's all that happened publicly doesn't mean that's it. South Korea does have "shame" and "face" regardless of what the asiaphiles here want to say, and it is plausible that the kid did not want to divulge the entirety of what happened to him in a public forum. | ||

I haven't seen any reports of police investigating on this incident or gundam getting arrested. You would think WeRRa wouldn't disband because of an unconfirmed rumour but you have to understand that people in korea are more sensitive compared to people from other countries and despite whether or not the rumour is true or false, it can be very incriminating to the point that even if the rumour is confirmed as false, the damages that it caused remains unfixed. Sounds pretty irrational doesn't it? But korea's society is one where sexism ( general discrimination imo) is ingrained in the society (ironic considering korea is one of the countries that opt for globalisation and lean towards the ideals of U.S). If shit like sexism being ingrained in a society is possible, i don't see why such irrationalities like acting over an unconfirmed rumour is impossible. I could give proof and reasoning to prove korea's society is such but that would take up too much words to put in this post. | ||

Conservative Korea does have a culture of shame society, but there's no expectation to commit sepukku to regain "lost honour." I believe it's because of the nature of Korean society being ultra competitive (having 60+ million people crammed into that tiny peninsula will make that happen), not to mention that Korean media and Korean netizens are ruthless. There is no causation between "honour" and high suicide rates in South Korea. You've have not proven anything to me that says South Korea runs on some "honour" code. | ||

A govt PDF here shows that all states consent is 16 for both genders and all hetero and homo sex (im assuming that includes anal) except SA and Tas which is 17 and QLD which discriminates and is 18 for homosexual sex 16 for hetero (regardless of where you stick it i guess). | ||
