The strongest characters in manwa are topmodel looking guys and they are either good or straight up psyhopaths(usually only the MC is good and the rest of the chads are either evil or morally grey). And there is actully no real consequences for their actions, everything they do is forgiven and the only way to make a chad topmodel taste justice is to became even more chad topmodel than him. Everyone else in manwa universe from uglybastard to average looking lives in constant hell of heavy bullying, blackmail, assasinations, abuse... Your only chance of happyness is becoming a gigachad topmodel that for obscure reasons will give you a strenght boost. Why are koreans like this?
Seems more realistic compared to japanese anime where the most bland and average looking dude with no hobbies or personality gets tons of bitches begging him to fuck them for no reason because he was nice to them 10 years ago.
>>290095419No idea why they are like that but some seem aware that its a problemLookism is a manwha about guy turning from a redditor into a k-chad (korean chad) for an hour and battling evil k-chadsKoreans are uniquely fucked upTheir president was a puppet for ultra feminist cult and whole goverment resignedIt went unnoticed due to news cycle and it being in korea https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2016_South_Korean_political_scandalLook up some vids on jewtube,they will probably more reliable and in depthKims were right to be dictatorial,koreans are fucking insane and need to be controlled
>>290095532Their stock market is just as insane as their feminist death cult
>>290095419
>>290095481>Japanese wish fulfillment: characters gets everything yet his looks remain the same>Korean wish fulfillment: character gets a completely new bodynot even koreans want to be korean
>>290095532>Lookism is a manwha about guy turning from a redditor into a k-chad (korean chad) for an hour and battling evil k-chadsKek this premisse looks fun. Is it worth or it will turn into shit like every manwa?
>>290095532>It went unnoticed due to news cycle and it being in korealiterally everybody heard about this
>>290095419korea is a straight dystopian country though. its normal to be fake there and hedonism is the way of life. also it seems to be fucking horrible growing up there as is shown by the 1000s manwhas depicting bullying.i do really love their cinema though, being this cynical makes for great movies
>>290095532>Their president was a puppet for ultra feminist cult and whole goverment resignedDon't wanna go /pol/ here but reading all the info on that about South Korea is some fucked up shit.
>>290095419>Why are koreans like this?Probably goes back a long way to some historical beef with Japan and a resulting inferiority complex, but the last 70 or so years of becoming a glorified military base for the US and speedrunning the most dystopian social and economic landscape possible probably also had something to do with it. In literally anything from K-Pop to K-Dramas to manwha you immediately get the sense for what they're like as a people. Completely devoid of soul, somehow more shallow and evil than chinks, and so filled with repressed unnatural urges it'd make most japs blush.Basically their entire national spirit is thoroughly and completely buckbroken, its like the East Asian version of being a Russian.
>>290095419Being the most obnoxious piece of shit in Asia surpassing the Japs and Chinks are also their speciality
>>290095419>>>/kr/
>>290095681>>290095681My biggest gripe with their inferiority complex is that them and their fanbase always try to bring their inferiority complex here. I won't even care if they have inferiority complex if they didn't chimp out most of the time
>>290095687And they only do that when their products everywhere are completely soulless and trash. Inna perfect world we would have seen countless korean shilling and relentless defending back in the 2000's and no one even bother to post Koreanshit in the current day, not the opposite
>>290095419They also know revenge and cruelty.
Their issue is circumcision. It damages the brains of males and this explains many issues. Any (and every) culture or peoples who routinely mutilate their baby boys is absolutely fucked.
>>290095419>Why are koreans like this?Every "universe" that deals with overpowered demi-gods and full on gods is like this. How is it any different from your average Chinese Xianxia?>they are either good or straight up psyhopathsMost prominent animanga characters are drawn to be good looking as well. And a generic narou-kei isekai reincarnation isn't fundamentally much different from a generic gook regression power fantasy.
I cannot think of anything Korean that has impressed me, be it anime, games, live action movies or even novels, at least the Chinks have cultivation novels that have a psychopath wish fulfillment appeal.
>>290095601Ive heard its one of the best if not THE Best manhwasAlso really good fashion on every antag if you are into neo sleazecore
What's interesting about Korean media is the sheer level of despair in it.Every single piece of popular Korean media outside of kpop, whether that's film, games or books (with or without pictures) is just about how much it sucks to be Korean.
>>290095601I actually read it so I'll give you my honest opinion, it started out kinda soulful with creative scenarios of how he had to use his two bodies but it devolved into fightfaggotry and a big conspiracy or something, the fights aren't clever or anything they just have pretty art, the plot is a nothingburger too, if you can stomach that then go ahead but it's popcorn entertainment
>>290097523For me its hyundai tiburon first genWhat a fucking piece of shitIt looks like 4th gen toyota celica sharted and realised it wasnt a fart
>>290095419Yes, but you should judge an entire people based on shitty, poorly written web novels.
>>290097523Some of the best webnovels have been Korean.Kidnapped Dragons, I became the Villain the Hero is obsessed with, The Main Heroines are trying to kill me, SSS-Class Suicide Hunter, Omniscient Reader's Viewpoint, and a few others.
>>290095481Ironic since slop leveling MC and million of his clones looks even more blant and have even less personality
>>290095647I wonder who won the genderbowl
>>290097523I like perfect half but it advances at the pace of a depressive drunk snail and it's been ages since anyone fucked
>>290095419Halo effect is real.
>>290095481There are plenty of anime with great mcs, while manhwa are filled with 1000x as much as slop while being a younger medium.
>>290097813>but you should judge an entire people based on shitty, poorly written web novelsthanks, I will do that
Isn't it weird that korean comics were at their best when they were copying manga? A whole generation of koreans grew up with these educational comics inspired by manga and with games likes MapleStory that has a clear anime-like art style.
>>290098309>Create their own identity (Webtoons)>It's much, much worse than when they are using Manga format on series like Shin Angyo Onshi Never let them invent anything, again
>>290095419the Koreans have spent most of their history as tributaries to China, as such they where influenced by confucianism as a core philosophy. They took his ideals of hierarchy to an extreme level, the other core ideals of mercy and benevolence barely took hold.If you are lower in any ranking system and hierarchy it's considered ok to abuse you in ways that disturb even other east Asians.
>>290097337Never read anything chinese. The only thing I know about them are monkey goku and emperrors killing eachother while having tons of cocumbines. And almost every chinese work derives from either one of these two
>>290095419Reading manwhas you get the picture that koreans are incredibly materialistic and vane with a inferiority complex to Japan. It's like the whole korean society is a cringey noveau riche pastische.
>>290097826>proceed to complete slops
>>290097337>Most prominent animanga charactersTrue but they have more rough features. >And a generic narou-kei isekai reincarnation isn't fundamentally much different from a generic gook regression power fantasy.Isekai is the most popular genre in ln, for manga the most popular genre is shonen
Why is Japan obsessed with youth?Archmages in western media: Some old regal man with full beard and robes Archmages in Japanese media: Some cringe loli who goes kyaaaaaaaaa
>>290095481koreans are soulless plastic surgery bugs
>>290099278This tbqh
>>290099278Regarding your example in particular you can find plenty of old wizards that are men but lolis are usually more fuckable and offer more opportunities for fanservice so mangaka go with that.
I remember reading a Korean webcomic about a pretty guy dating an ugly person and that was LITERALLY the entire plot line, or drama element. “Only the most beautiful can be on the school council or make voting decisions” was treated like an absolute normal. What the fuck.
>>290099358Um. No. The 90s is over. Wizards now are all cutesy cutesy big booba womenz. Fan service has rotted the perception of wizards.
>>290099372In a certain way its refreshing as its generally a fact of life even in the west.
>>290099358Just make the other characters fuckable instead. I want more shows like Isekai Ojisan.
>>290095419Pretty much. South korea isn't the plastic surgery capital of the world for no reason, after all.
>>290099540Um. No. In Korea it’s considered polite to tell someone on the street they need a nose job. In the west you’d get punched.Yes looks help, but it’s superficial and for the most part ugly rich ruthless/soulless bastards run the show and always have. In fact they hire the pretty people, just to sexually abuse.
why do Koreans like hunting so much?
>>290099278>Archmages in western media: Some old regal man with full beard and robesWestern media doesn't even get that anymore, they go out of their way to shame that archetype and replace him with a smug menopausal woman.
Is Korea the most hell on earth level first world western aligned country?
>>290095419I think this happens with any society with huge economic disparity, see the Victorian era and even growing sentiments in modern Western society. It probably stems from harsh competition, where something as simple as being handsome will give you a huge edge.
>>290097523I really liked The Second Coming of Gluttony and The Legendary Moonlight Sculptor.
>>290099278>>290099614Japan USED to love REAL wizards https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=7NV6PcZ5e4o&pp=ygUOV2l6YXJkcyEgQW5pbWU%3D&ra=m
>>290099704Raoh (forma de wizard)
>>290099418>Um. No. The 90s is over.The 90s had a lot of lolis and female wizards. >Wizards now are all cutesy cutesy big booba womenz. Nah, Gus from faraway paladin for example is an old man. > Fan service has rotted the perception of wizards.In a way true. A lot of people do associate wizards with women but usually big boobed ones not lolis.
>>290099738>The 90s had a lot of lolis and female wizards.The 90s also had more sovl so you’re full of shit >A lot of people do associate wizards with women but usually big boobed ones not lolis.Hair splitting much? Both are the same sort of cringe. It could even be a mix, like big boobed lolis.
>>290099704They still like them. Also I am sure Slayers was more popular than the wizardry ova
>>290099769>The 90s also had more sovl so you’re full of shitSure sure but that doesn't change that old wizard characters were still made after the 90s and the archetype you are talking about was also in older western media not newer one.
>>290097523It's a case of babby's first webtoon for me, but Hand Jumper really surprised me
>>290095419I find it extremely weird and disingenuous when they shipped him with giga stacey even though they had zero interactions. Would have been more realistic had they done a romance route with healer girl from the beginning but they dropped her for being a normal girl.
>>290099278>people are shitting on his korean trash>he has to change the subject to japanese stuff>still gets btfoedHow do you cope with the fact that manga has always been better than your shitty webcomics?
Is South Korea a hellscape even worse than Canada?
>>290099816Um. Wasn’t that wizard mogged by the irl players.
>>290099851The argument was prevalence. If you’re arguing that they still draw/animate old people, you’d be correct, but they’re not favored. As time goes on, and the global iq lowers, and satisfaction becomes more simplistic, people start to favor low effort and lazy big breasted women or twinks. They’re also easier to draw.Anime has always been childish.
>>290100347Neolib hellscape ranking:South Korea > US > Japan > Singapore > northern Europe > Canada > rest of Europe
>>290100402>The argument was prevalenceYou said "Wizards now are all" which implies all of them are like that.> but they’re not favoredWho cares just read good manga, there have been plenty of them made after 2000 and there are plenty of mangaka with an interest in artistic stuff>Anime has always been childish.Same as all modern media tb.h but there have also been adult anime.
>>290100462US should be ranked below Europe and Canada because Europoors are literally in hell with their lack of air conditioning.
>>290100367The irl player is basically an old mage himself(a skeleton one)
>>290095419I hate the webtoon format, but I read murim manhwa to get my wuxia fix. Usually not a big deal is made of looks and the MCs aren't the prettiest around.
>>290100402You webtoon slop is even more childish retard.
>>290095419why do you think plastic surgery is so widespread therebugmen are so low t they're basically women so only care about looks
>>290100467>You said "Wizards now are all" which implies all of them are like that.The overwhelming majority of magic using characters in anime are little boys and hyper sexualized women. This isn’t arguable.
>>290100467Strongest wizard in anime? Some little girl. Strongest wizard in western slop? Some old man.>>290100534Still gay.
>the wizard is some little girl in an oversized hat>the magic academy headmaster is some teenaged girl who de aged herselfAnime is so cringe
>>2901006321. Anime is not the only japanese media, manga, video games, live action etc. 2. You are weirdly ignoring the rest of my post.3. Not really a lot of teenage/adult males use magic(not a lot of them with beards but there are some of those as well)>>290100650>Strongest wizard in western slop? Some old man.name recent modern western cartoons where the magician is an old man.
>>290100689Still better than all of your webtoon slop.
>>290100689>t. korean retard seething about anime
>>290100714>You are weirdly ignoring the rest of my postNope. You’re just one of those people (like trannies) who seems to think the less than five percent accounts for anything, when the other ninety five percent is apparent to all.
>>290100789I want to see those western examples. >ess than five percent accounts for anythingYou got me wrong, 5% is too much I think only like 0.00001% of korean manhwa are even worth looking at.
>>290100714I liked the Owl House (cringe Disney slop to be fair) that had some old man barge into the witching universe, invent his own form of artificial magic, propagandized magic into enforced aspects to prevent anyone from unifying magic, and became the most powerful wizard bar none.
>>290100818>If Harry Potter were made in JapanIf only.
If the Climber manga was made in South Korea it would be a garbage webtoon with garbage art and bland mc because koreans can't into comics nowadays
>>290100818If Harry Potter was Japanese there would have been a scene of Hermione having an orgasm during a broom riding lesson.
>>290100920That sounds extremely based ngl.
>>290100714>to the average bloak on the side of the road sex and gender mean the same damn thing>oh yeah? find me one (1) bloakYou people are honestly just the fucking worst. You outright ignore overwhelmingly obvious trends and patterns. “It’s amazing how these people pretend not to understand anything, therefore making discourse impossible”, or something like that.
>>290100974I am still waiting for the western cartoons and sorry manhwa are still fucking garbage.
>>290100908They used to be decent when they copied the japs
>>290101118Too bad theys topped. Korean webtoons are so garbage.
>>290100558>I hate the webtoon formatSame man. Was it specifically made for zoomers that just scroll everyday?
>>290100818This. The Japanese have an awful sense for power levels in relation to age and experience, expertise, etc.
>>290101220The koreans are even worse though. Read any manhwa and you will see how garbage their power system and writing is.
What set off the korean retard this time?
>>290101285people shitting on the most garbage medium ever made, manhwa
Korean, Japanese, Capeshit, it’s all the same low effort slop made for children.
>>290101383And what media do you enjoy then? Why are you even here?
>>290101421I enjoy media that isn’t cringe childish slop that insists on the adults being useless and the protagonists being drop dead gorgeous supermodels.
>>290101383I mean that's true for all of the korean slop but the japs have made some anime/manga for adults. Not a lot of them but a catalog that puts the manhwa one to shame
>>290101453Ok so which media? Modern media is made for teenagers. Name what you enjoy.
>>290101461Anime for adults will still consist of edgelord characters in their mid 20s
>the main character has this super awesome and rare/unique ability that puts him on par with the best >also he was a total nobody like a day ago and all the girls want his cock now All anime is the same sort of power faggy wish fulfilment cringe
>>290101510Mushishi proves you wrong.
>>290101535>All animeAt this point you are trolling. A lot of anime is slice of life without any powers.
>>290101481>>290101453Can you name the titles already?
>>290101573>reee stop using the all word reee stop coming to generalizations reee REEENo
>>290101598>I will continue acting like a retardOk be my guess lol. Are you like that because people say shit about your beloved webtoon slop? In that case the generalization works because manhwa sites actually show what most manhwa are. Here it doesn't work because there hundreds of anime that are nothing like you've said. A lot of anime/manga is SoL lmao.
>>290101632All/most anime cringe childish slop where the adults are absolutely useless. This is par for the course when anime at its core is a medium for immature young people. Any adult who seriously works on animation is either making it for themselves, or others/profit.
>>290101772>mostThat still puts it above korean manhwa where everything is slop lol(do you think adults are reading your korean trash?) . Also you might want to check the seinen genre of manga, most characters there are adults.
So this show's hated by lorefags, right? Dorks who want things to read like encyclopedias instead of a fun action adventure.
>>290101535>>the main character has this super awesome and rare/unique ability that puts him on par with the best>>also he was a total nobody like a day ago and all the girls want his cock nowwebtroons to be like that lol
>>290101827>seinen genre*demographic, my bad.
>>290095419Korean women are shallow cunts and the men are all beta cucks, as a result it's a unbelievably feminized society where looks and status are everything, so their biggest cultural export is kpop (pretty girls on stage singing terrible music) or manhwa (90% of them are about becoming a gigachad in one way or the other). You won't ever see a Vagabond, Berserk or even Dragon Ball coming out of there because concepts like honor, sacrifice and self improvement are non existant or muddied to a extreme degree in their society. This is why /a/ shouldn't accept manhwa discussion, just make a /jp/ equivalent for them.
>>290102331This thread is mostly a koreanfag having a meltdown.
>>290101772>most of everything is badNo shit, most of everything in every medium is just shit enjoyed by immature young people including anime and manga. However webtroons made by your shitty korean fags have somehow managed to be even worse by making even more shit than all of the other medium combined while nto reaching their peaks. You will never see something like the original Gits movie or Texhnolyze in your power fantasy korean comics.
>>290102331thats good that they dont make vapid nonsense like dragonball and instead make meaningful works with substance
>>290104133Anyone who says their work has nothing of substance is lying or feigning humility.Every choice is made for a reason.
>>290104133>korean slop>substance LMAO
>>290104162The choices made in creating Dragon Ball were ones that would make it a successful work.>First Arc / Martial Arts settingJust getting Toriyama to write what he knows, Chinese martial arts movies.>TournamentsJust a shallow attempt at gaining more popularity, it was literally just taking from the popular Penguin Village Grand Prix and tournament arcs in other popular manga.>Red Ribbon ArmyHokuto no Ken was doing well.>PiccoloSaint Seiya and Hokuto no Ken were doing well>Vegeta, Freeza, Cell, BooAll just iterations on Piccolo.Everything in Dragon Ball exists for the sake of popularity.
>>290104426none of that means "there is nothing to learn from dragonball"
>>290097523For me it was Tower of God's first season. Then it became friendshipslop.
what's better, donghua or gooktoons?
>>290095419Reading manwha for 20 years and seeing the actual degradation of the spirit of koreans into plastic bug people has been painful. Obviously their worship of looks as a moral aspect has always been an issue, but now it has become foundational in such a way that it has corroded the entirety of their creative output. They used to be extremely creative, but around 15 years ago they started to seriously degrade and have now reached such a point that I legitimately believe manwha cultural output will die within 10 years or so, becoming only a local pastime or slop for SEAnigs.
>>290104495It does actually.It's a work comprised of things it believed to be popular at the time. It has no real message or any considerations or even any real themes. "A substanceless work" is easily the best way to describe Dragon Ball.
>>290102331Unironically this. Castrated society. They don't even dare to dream.
>>290102331If /a/ banned manwha discussion to a different board, here's what would happen.>/a/ posting activity would decline harder than it already has (this is the lowest activity year in recorded history for /a/, which goes back to 2009 by the by)>/kr/ or whatever would probably get like 500K posts a year>despite a potential /kr/'s low activity, making it a separate board would inevitably foster more fans of manhwa and represent a larger point of entrance for new users than /a/ (which isn't that hard tbf) and ultimately lead to Korean works having a more dominant voice on the site overallThis is why 90% of board split/segregation demands are retarded.
>>290105361/gk/ would be fine, since you can shove kpop and kdrama shit in there as well
>>290095601fuck no it immediately abandons the initial premise and turns into gang warfare with hot dudes beating each other up. even the original fat body turns into a supermodel.
>>290100558which one is this and do you recommend any more murim webtoons? i also feel the same i love murim and the martial arts stuff but i hate the scrolling format it feels so limiting in terms of fight choreography. i miss breaker 1 and 2, 3 sucked then went on hiatus again.
>>290100920>broom induced orgasm
>>290101535this is literally the plot of solo levelinghe gets the level up system and becomes a gigachad with all the girls falling in love with him
>>290095419its called lookism and its not exclusive to manwha you jackass
>>290106018It's Fist Demon of Mount Hua. I like it, but it's not very popular. I mainly like it for the MC being prone to excessive violence to the point of ridiculousness, despite being a good guy. It's not that great on the fight choreography department, and towards the end it even relies too much on narration. Still, I think the stylized art style is pretty cool.For fight choreography, first one that comes to mind is Shashin, aka Death God. Easily the lowest power level murim series I've read, it's pretty much the only one with no ki attacks. Others are Gosu (OPM wuxia edition) and Legend of the Northern Blade.Other recs not necessarily based on fight choreography: Return of Mount Hua Sect, Return of the Crazy Demon (reincarnation and regression respectively so I avoided them for a while, but they're both hilarious and not power fantasies). Peerless Dad.
>>290100714>Anime is not the only japanese media, manga, video games, live action etc.Yes but if we're judging a whole country based on one of its entertainment mediums you have to admit you nerd to do the same for japan
>>290095532The Japanese Prime Minister was also influenced and paid for by a Korean Christian cult, American Asian vassal states are fundamentally broken and cucked
>>290095481You're thinking of otaku media centered toward certain demographics of young/unaccomplished men.
>>290095481Nipponese seek an acceptance in who they are. meanwhile not even Koreans want to be Koreans.
>>290102331This is the same board with a permanent isekai general, anon. Don't pretend we care about sacrifice, honor, or self-improvement.
Why does /a/ turn into /stormfront/ east asia edition whenever korea is mentioned?
>>290107024I think most anons really want to be racist against Asians, but since the Japanese are "honorary Aryans" who make their porn cartoons and their dumb toys, they have to hold back - although not entirely, as you can see plenty of disparaging comments on /a/ against the Japanese which echo the typical anti-Asian sentiment (calling them "bugs", saying they can only copy by rote, etc.)So every other part of Asia becomes fair game: Indians, Chinese, Koreans, Southeast Asia.
>>290107091Also, a lot of them have picked up on the anti-Korean attitudes instilled in them from racist Japanese.
>>290100558Official releases of Solo Leveling and Tomb Raider King are rearranged to manga-style.
>>290097523The Good, The Bad and The Weird movie is pretty interesting for me, it was a product from the time when Korean waves like k-pop and k-drama were even a thing worldwide.
>>290107091>>290107024>>290107110People talk shit about the Japs a lot here and no one complains

>>290107091>>290107110>People demand Koreanshit to be allowed here>Can't stand when people shit on them even though they are a bunch of annoying , obnoxious faggots who make another batch soulless garbages like the Japs and everyone else nowadays
>>290107421Reminder that we can Insult Africa, Westerners, Japanese and Taiwanese and nobody would complain about racism. Meanwhile Insult Korea or China and then we will see at least 2-3 complain about racist weeb even if we insult the Nips a lot more frequently than them
>>290107493We absolutely can't insult Westeners, especially white people, or sometimes we can but we have to imply they're "whites" (Hebrew) or else a lot of fragile people lose their marbles
Hallyu waves should have started in the 2000's since it was Korea's true peak. I mean even their Movies and K-drama are declining nowadays quality wise
>>290101535Nobody tell this nigga about yuru camp
A recurring thing in Korean webtoons, dramas, novels, etc. is the fantasy of the protagonist becoming absurdly rich, powerful, beautiful, influential, or socially untouchable. And obviously, every culture has fantasies about status. That part isn't unique.What I find interesting is how power is portrayed.There often doesn't seem to be any corresponding expectation that the person who acquires enormous power should develop enormous responsibilities, obligations, or moral constraints along with it. The fantasy is frequently just: I became powerful, therefore I am now entitled to act however I want.The rich asshole isn't necessarily someone who has to prove that they're a good person despite their wealth. Their wealth itself becomes evidence that they're exceptional. The powerful executive doesn't merely have more resources; he seems to possess a kind of social and moral authority that ordinary people simply don't have. The protagonist acquires money, influence, or some supernatural ability, and suddenly everyone who previously looked down on him is revealed to be beneath him.It's almost a conflation of status with virtue.The Western cliché of “with great power comes great responsibility” is interesting precisely because it treats power as a moral burden. Spider-Man getting superpowers doesn't mean he's better than everyone else; it means he has an obligation to use those powers responsibly. The fantasy is constrained by an ethical expectation.A lot of Korean power fantasies seem to work in the opposite direction: power is the reward for being exceptional, and once you've obtained it, your superiority is basically self-justifying.
>>290107421>>290107443Who are you quoting
>>290107571>There often doesn't seem to be any corresponding expectation that the person who acquires enormous power should develop enormous responsibilities, obligations, or moral constraints along with it. The fantasy is frequently just: I became powerful, therefore I am now entitled to act however I want.It's the equivalent of if an Indian made a Manhwa about "I'm the super special reincarnation of Ganesha and ascended to become a Brahmin through my superior Yoga"
>>290107571That's because Koreans and Chinese aren't burdened by Western Judeo-Christian slave morality.
I miss when we can talk about Japanese live action like Battle Royale or Blue Blaze without someone screeching about "Muh Jap acting" every 3 posts. Feels like it only happens when Korean posters become more and more frequent here
>>290107610And look how dystopian they are lol.
>>290107571The other factor is that status is zero sum, so their new status must be accompanied by the systematic destruction of their previous bullies, usually involving things like social humiliation, permanent physical damage, disfigurement, sexualised punishments (especially for women) etc.
>>290107716Yeah, they almost give America a run for its money. Almost.
>>290107610The existence of South Korea is proof that Nietzsche's Ubermensch is indistinguishable from his Last Man.
>>290107610Korean power fantasies seem to think that people of wealth, power, or social status aren't held to any kind of behavioral standards. They act as if having those things means you can do whatever and behave however you want and there's nothing the people "beneath" you can do about it.
>>290106244Jojo has tall, muscular, godlike handsome men and yet you dont feel the inferioty complex aura emanating from it like in manhwa. Why?
>>290107847Because they're goofy. I mean Joseph is basically a walking bugs bunny cartoon
have you considered the average Korean is a sociopath
>>290095419Just like the real world
>>290097523I don't know how to explain but koreans seem to be unable to have fun. Like, their humor has to be this absurd situation comedy, it can't just be something small and relatable.
>>290101183No chance because that shit predates smartphones.
>>290099704>Japan used to draw elves with normal sized ears
>>290095419Why cannot Sung jin woo appeal to fujo? Even Koreans prefer Gojo more than him spite being a mediocre guy. And No sung jin woo cosplay in Comicket, comic con and anime expo, even in Korean comic festival. No solo leveling doujins. Gquuuuux have more fanart than solo leveling and sold more merches(including gunpla). And Why is solo leveling's sale flopping as A-1(suffered a loss in 2025 first and they never suffered a loss before as they are involved in merchandising too, while Lycoreco and Makeine made lots of money) and Kakao suffer the loss? Crunchyroll award is useless as crunchyroll is banned in Japan. And webtoon is declining due to censorship. Why does Korea ban bikinis from webtoon when they are considered "based"? Blue archive lack bikinis while FGO has even for benienma(1st ascension).
>>290095419Yes, gooks are just as soulless as chinks
>>290108937And they thought sung jin woo will make billons of money but didn't, as gacha fall hard compared to other netmarble slops. Merch sale is non existent as Solo leveling merches are shelf warmers in animate. Did they thought Sung jin woo as New generation Tanjiro or Gojo?
>>290107205>>290107421I mean, why do people bring up manhwa (not Japanese, off topic) on an anime board out of nowhere anyways? Then again, it's not like other boards aren't immune to suddenly bringing up random bullshit to hate on like R*ddit from time to time despite R*ddit's status as culturally important has long since faded.>>290107443>>obnoxious faggots who make another batch soulless garbages like the Japs and everyone else nowadaysI think >>290107091 has a point, we sure do hate Japanese people for an anime board.
>>290095419The Korean War
>>290095419Korean manwha is refreshing at first with how ruthless and out of order their MCs are, but then it quickly becomes a slog once you realise they're literally all the exact same. It gets tiring and even distasteful past a certain point. Gook morality is too alien and soulless to feel right. Once I went back to manga and comics I gained a new appreciation for heroic MCs who are good men with a real heart.
>>290095481Most of the time the girls fall for the cool heroes who save the world. What cringe series are you watching? Romcoms?
/a/ would love this if it were japanese. but since it's manhwa, it's automatically trash
>>290100528In the age of mini splits and portable AC's? Even those little window units should be enough for their tiny apartments
>>290095601No because the cute chubby megane judo girl lost all her weight and became a generic bimbo :(
>>290099590Our hero Jeffery-sama fighting lookism
>>290099596I just seriously wish they'd stop it with the hologram boxes full of videogame stats in your face. Allow for SOME ambiguity, for god's sake. They have to learn what show don't tell is eventually, right?
>>290099372>“Only the most beautiful can be on the school council or make voting decisions” was treated like an absolute normal. This is true of a lot of Japanese manga, although it's not explicitly stipulated. It's more like, "of course this queen of the school who is beautiful, big-breasted, intelligent, and has a rich family is on the school council. It's only proper!"
>>290097523LG phones were, are beautiful
>>290101383Name your favourite stories. RIGHT NOW.
>>290109496Nukitashi and this gem.
>>290106960That's a containment thread where they cower in fear of us heroic shounenCHADs.
>>290105172>>290104133Only if you're a castrated tranny with no soul. Dragon Ball is about a warrior's honour, brotherhood, fatherhood, hard work and enjoying the fruits of life. Toriyama embodied this all himself by making it all up on the fly as a genius savant and then spending the rest of the week raising his family and riding his cool motorcycles. Dragon Ball having no pretentious pseud "substance" is what gives it so much weight and value.
>>290109618>honour, brotherhood, fatherhood, hard work and enjoying the fruits of lifeThese concepts are quite pretentious when they're championed by sexless incels who don't lift and will never have families.
>>290105384Save /mu/ too!
>>290107847They're actually masculine and have grit and spirit.
>>290109669And they also have a great deal of homoeroticism, no matter how much you try to play it down.
>>290109645Lol most of dragon ball fans are normal people with families who grew up with it. Men from every race and social class enjoys it.
>>290109710>most of dragon ball fans are normal people with familiesAnd is that who visits /a/?
>shit talking koreans on /a/Is the mod from the solo leveling airing finally gone?
>>290107610I hate Abrahamism as much as the next guy but you must realise that civilization itself hinges upon good men doing good things for the sake of humanity as a whole.
>>290108781>And No sung jin woo cosplay in Comicket, comic con and anime expo, even in Korean comic festival.Because you would get clowned on lol. Even normalfags mock Soulless Levelling.
>>290095419Sounds better than the Christian faggotry present in most anime.
>>290109542Nigga
REMEMBER: The strong do what they can. The weak suffer what they must.
>>290109736Not him but yeah, why do you think the board has been taken over by shounenbros. We have normal lives lol
>>290109645You seriously think Dragon Ball's fanbase is like some niche hentai vn? My dad introduced us to it lol. It's generational.
Wake me up when they make the Smoke War or Distortion Detective anime
>>290109702You need a pinch of that for true heroism
>>290095419Korean manga: increasing your stats makes your ripped and strongerJapanese manga: increasing your stats results in a number increasing on a status boardChinese manga: increasing your stats elongates your hair into a ponytail and makes your attacks stronger Bug people always leave something to be desired in their art
>>290109906was it Classic or Z first?
>>290109893People who post shit like this have normal lives?
>>290109755People who scream about racism doesn't
>>290108988Koreans and their fans always demand /a/ to allow Koreanshit but now when someone talk about them in a negative light you suddenly go "Why are we talking about Manhwa on an anime board?" ?
>>290109911You need Current Day PM to stop working on Gachatrash first
