I'm glad they aren't so homophobic in Korea, it's really just a Western thing.

You can't even comment on Reach's buffness without being called a faggot.

Reach IS buff btw.
I think esports is pretty nice.

Actually, the Korean culture is far and away much more homophobic than Western culture. As far as I understand it, close male friendships aren't seen as "gay" in Korea because open homosexuality is by and large completely absent from their culture, and there is pretty much zero mainstream acceptance for actual gay people in Korea.

The actor Kim Ji-hoo came out as gay in 2008, and then he was instantly flooded with messages of hatred and ostracized by the media, and as a result he committed suicide a few months later. This would never happen today to a celebrity in the West, not even in a country as largely homophobic as the US. So yeah, South Korea is about as homophobic as it gets among countries where homosexuality is legal at all.

On topic: I am so looking forward to Reach and Yellow being back on KT to resume their former hotness.

Agreed. People don't seem outwardly homophobic since it's like a lot of people don't even see homosexuality as an option.


And um.


I don't really have anything good to post anymore so..

Ya, as people have noted, open homosexuality (I wanna screw you in the ass or obvious desire for male-male sexual relations w/e) is not accepted by anybody except for other gay koreans or people with more "western" mindsets.

On the other hand, what immature kids in the US consider "gay" and slightly more intimate male-male relations are considered perfectly normal in Korea, and people make "gay" jokes all the time, it's good fun if you're not gay, and really awkward if you are I suppose lol

Well, I have gay immunity as a girl.

Anyways, from what I know, although the more built ones have obviously put more effort into it, progamers actually have workout sessions everyday. I guess it's because they have a severely sedentary lifestyle..

Ugh, running out of stuff to post

I think everyone lives a sedentary lifestyle without exercise... kinda the definition of sedentary.

Not many people live a life where physical activity is incorporated into their day seamlessly, which is why they work out... so doesnt it sound redundant to say a progamer lives a sedentary lifestyle if the didnt work out, when that statement aplies to everyone?!

No you don't, it would just mean you like girls, which isn't judged because it's hot ^^

But anyways, so Korea isn't really homophobic, they just don't acknowledge it's existence. I wonder if they'd be as homophobic as Westerners if being gay was an "option".

I also wonder how Korean netizens would respond to a thread like this lol, but from what I've seen it's considered quite normal to say a guy looks good.
I think esports is pretty nice.

Why is the Korean culture so homophobic? I'd say the biggest strawman for gay discrimination in North America would be western religion(Catholicism, Islam), but that has to be significantly lower in SK. Has it just been ingrained in the culture though history that it's not acceptable? If so what's the reasoning behind it?
i was driving down the road this november eve and spotted a hitchhiker walking down the street. i pulled over and saw that it was only a tree. i uprooted it and put it in my trunk. do trees like marshmallow peeps? cause that's all i have and will have.

The shock is probably from his body contrasting with his image as a girly guy.

That's why I said "severely" sedentary. I didn't say that they "live a sedentary lifestyle if the don't work out." I said that since they live a more sedentary lifestyle than average people, they have to work out.

Actually, the Korean culture is far and away much more homophobic than Western culture. As far as I understand it, close male friendships aren't seen as "gay" in Korea because open homosexuality is by and large completely absent from their culture, and there is pretty much zero mainstream acceptance for actual gay people in Korea.

The actor Kim Ji-hoo came out as gay in 2008, and then he was instantly flooded with messages of hatred and ostracized by the media, and as a result he committed suicide a few months later. This would never happen today to a celebrity in the West, not even in a country as largely homophobic as the US. So yeah, South Korea is about as homophobic as it gets among countries where homosexuality is legal at all.

On topic: I am so looking forward to Reach and Yellow being back on KT to resume their former hotness.

Why is the Korean culture so homophobic? I'd say the biggest strawman for gay discrimination in North America would be western religion(Catholicism, Islam), but that has to be significantly lower in SK. Has it just been ingrained in the culture though history that it's not acceptable? If so what's the reasoning behind it?

Uh... christianity is HUGE here.(According to Wiki, "Just over 40 percent of South Koreans profess religious affiliation. That affiliation is spread among a great variety of traditions, including Buddhism (34 percent), Christianity (66 percent), Confucianism (0.2 percent), and shamanism.") That also means that there are tons of people who cite religion as a reason. However, a lot of people say that they're against homosexuality because "it's just wrong." Kinda like a lot of places around the world..

-edit- To the poster below: yeah, a lot of people are like that - church is also a big social activity for Koreans, especially those who live overseas. There are casual observers, but there are the more extreme ones too. I go to a Christian college, which means that strangers stop me once in while and ask me if I believe in God...o_O and then proceed to talk about why I should go to their church / why I should believe in God / why I should go to a missionary camp during vacation / why I should join this Christian school club / etc. I also know people who always update their facebook status with some phrase from the Bible and how they pray for ~~~~~.


Uh. I really have nothing left to post now..

Eh, I wouldn't call South Korean Christianity legit at all. It's all just "thank God for all your success and feel good about yourself" stuff. Which is not how it works, unfortunately :/
REEBUH!!!
