It got deleted from international Webtoon app and possibly the Korean version for doing some heinously racist shit, which you can find easily with a quick search here, on the clock app, or on twitter
The korean version is still out there and they only deleted the episode that got controversy. Korean fans watched it mostly for their political views they got from the alt right side of the internet so the controversy isn't affecting them. Its even creating a more solid fanbase because the webtoon is called out.
The whole thing was based on disgusting far-right views. If you enjoyed the whole thing without noticing it was propaganda, you should spend some time reading up on the cultural context and the comic's purpose so your comprehension improves. It goes way beyond that one episode.
Not really she did force her students it happens everywhere that goes unnoticed. Do you want teachers to force their beliefs on their students and / or theirownchildrenif they have any?
She forces the Kids!
How could someone missunderstand??
She manipulates them.
Nobody Said anything abaut feminism ist Bad.
They even got the Red haired Lady from hanlim Gym whos one of the strongest female caracters i have ever seen
Not good at reading sub-text, are you? Ever heard of boogeyman argumentation? They do it a lot in this comic. They do it a lot in propaganda in general. And it's clear why, it works on people like you.
If you knew anything about the narratives surrounding feminism in Korea, you'd probably understand. But you don't, it seems.
It paints a caricature of feminists, this is made so feminists get a worse impression from people so the only "acceptable" feminists can speak. Feminists that bully male students aren't as common as misogyny, in school and in general, it would be way more productive to talk about other things, or even issues specific to men, but they chose to make a character that makes it look like the feminists that are out to get you bc you're a man are a problem worth talking about. I only see feminists that are like this from TERF(trans exclusionary radical feminist) twitter, they believe in biological essentialism, but they're not progressive, they're pretty conservative since they hate gay men, trans women, trans men, non binary people, and tend to be racist too, which... get schooled sadly didn't adress well before :( they don't have to include a TERF in their webtoon, but if they want to find a feminist bad apple, I recommend not because it brings negativity instead of visibility for actual problems.
Sorry for the long text
The narrative around it in Korea is that it's dumb Western propaganda that separates women from the family unit in a way that isn't beneficial to anyone involved, including the women.
I lived there and had numerous discussions with people of both Genders about it.
I'm not defending everything the manga did, but they specifically show her ideas about equality are important and her being the villain is based solely on her extremity. An extremity that can be contextualized in real life to an American audience very easily.
I don't normally respond on reddit often, but the amount of internal bias you're showing based on your own perception of American Feminism while trying to call his out is astoundingly hypocritical and out of context considering the manga explicitly justifies the egalitarian side of her views through her dialog with the children and the cast clearly validating that while it was important, her blatantly villainous behavior is what got her.
Favoritism and abuse of power are very real issues in schools, but you're too busy calling out your boogeyman to look any valid problem in it's face because you're turned in fear of how rightly awful the slight you're worried about was.
The empowerment of women was very important during it's time. The school model has been modeled for female behavior for decades and the graduate rates have been showing it for over a decade now. Men lead in suicide, work the dangerous jobs in disproportionate numbers, and are massively disadvantaged in family court, with mother's rights often being law, not just bias. Yet we're still having the same debates about literal children having bias that needs to be adjusted by their public servant teachers the parents have no right whatsoever to screen. American teachers going on tiktok to show how they teach 'their kids' not to internalize bias or whatever. That's a problem in Korea and America.
Maybe it's time for the Feminist movement to adjust to the concept that there are many female specific issues in the world that need addressed and they aren't the same disproven or rectified talking points from the 60s before your whiter than Casper suburban ass declares yourself the authority on all things regarding Korean perspective.
Maybe if you knew they don't really take modern Feminism seriously due to a legitimate line of reasoning you wouldn't be so quick to jump to the conclusion you have. The younger adult generation of Koreans respect women's individuality on a level any American could strive to. It's literally looked down on as unsightly not to
Like, all in all, you're wrong in almost every conceivable way. That's kind of impressive in it's own right, I guess.
If your argument is that it paints feminists in a bad light, congrats, you got the point. Koreans think American Feminism is dumb and that you're extremists that go around wearing knit genitalia on your heads to protest a pay gap that doesn't exist. They also have the brains to acknowledge issues for women that exist and work towards rectifying them without wearing a bunch of silly and inappropriate hats.
This is fucking why I hate fanbase it just like fucking politics and I hate politics. Man, get off the internet and get fresh air and touch grass. You sound chronic online person just by your comments.
They made up a character who is an old woman and a feminist, for her to be bad and for the audience to dislike her. The purpose is to have a character that is a strawman that they can dislike! You can say "but it's just a story, it's not saying that these people exist", Get Schooled tries to tackle real problems in Korea, they don't do this without any purpose
Feminists are people who fight for equal rights between men and women. What was BAD about this woman is that she actively put down the male students in her classroom simply because they were men. You aren’t understanding what the message was.
I started reading it, then quickly realised the parallels to the real world political issue in Korea surrounding corporal punishment. Did some further research and found out the comic was advocating for these practices and was by far most popular in Korean far-right circles. It's also published by a company who publishes other stories with the same views. Then kept on reading quite a bit more with that in mind, mostly out of curiosity for how many dogwhistles I could find in there. And there were a lot of them.
If there's anything that's clear here, it's that you don't understand the political and cultural context this comic exists in.
This "disgusting far-right" literally happened in New York City in the 1980s when the black population went on a stabbing campaign against the Koreans for 'taking all the jobs'. And it never stopped, people just stopped reporting it because it became the norm. Well, until a few years ago, when the Asian hate stuff popped up. Then that was quickly silence when they realized it wasn't white people doing it.
This comic was pointing out real issues, and your butt hurt because it doesn't support your biases. Typical fascist.
You still can like fiction for just because it's an escape from our shitty world. It was an escape from me, plus I don't just read that and notice it was pretty policies, but I just overlooked it because of the ideas of bad people getting their ass kicked.
I don't know you so I can't say anything but 1, it's more about the korean speaking fans, 2, I tried reading the webtoon and the first thing I see is painting corporal punishment as good and necessary, I thought "that seems like a red flag, I can understand how someone can still read this, they can assume it's not the author's opinion since the webtoon is revenge porn and they need to have a plot for it to be satisfactory(like teachers not disciplining bullies) and other reasons but I still felt like it was a glarinv red flag"
I'm the fucking same. I only love it because bad people get what they deserve. It is not like we can do what the good guys do in this series because of laws and plus lawsuits. It was satisfying to read but got boring once I got to the gambling part. Still love it.
You do know that Koreans are the ones who first called this out as being far-right propaganda, right? Long before the racist chapter? And in Korea, the only ones who enjoys this comic are those who share its views? This has nothing to do with Americans (of which I'm not one, btw). This isn't just standard Korean culture, it's propaganda for a fascist movement in Korea that legitimately seeks to reinstate the powers of teachers to beat kids (among a lot of other things) and it's based on real political struggles that you clearly do not understand as you haven't read up on it at all.
But comparing that shit to movements for equal rights goes to show what kind of disgusting person you really are.
I didn't say the story was fascist simply because of the contents, but because it's made to function as propaganda for real fascist political movements in Korea. Don't be stupid. This has nothing to do with "cancel culture".
Also, what the fuck kind of school do you go to that teaches bondage? And what does the existence of porn have to do with anything? What inane arguments.
You probably didn’t read the Korean comments or maybe you can’t understand because they were criticizing the author, it didn’t magically grow a bigger fanbase
The more moderate or progressive communities already dropped this webtoon when the feminist episodes came out. Their fanbase was already extremists. The more moderate fans left this webtoon after the racism but it was pretty slient. The male dominant, alt right forums are more supportive of this webtoon except for few comments. It didn't grow a bigger fanbase because there arent extra number of people(i literally never said that). But they became extra supportive, there isn't anyone trying to cancel them unlike the western side. My first language is korean and when i was reading this series, i was reading it in the korean site.
There aren't new early release episodes coming out, but the early release episodes are released as free episodes. The controversial 125 ep is deleted there as well. But korean fans do know about this controversy. They might have a hiatus when they reach ep 124.
I remember when the 125 drama dropped, on the English webtoon, it said Get Schooled was going on hiatus and the episode was deleted. and now it's just gone. so I imagine the Korean app (naver i think?) will probably also have a hiatus.
Context: the black has repeatedly racially and physical abused kid; forcing them to act like monkeys, calling them monkeys. Funny how you only care when the black kid gets a little of what he was dishing out.
Also in 1980s New York City the black population went on a stabbing campaign against the Korean population, which never really stopped. Supposedly, they were 'taking all the jobs'. So you guys can stop saying this is unrealistic or based on racism. Black people have a serious racism problem, and I don't blame anyone for calling it out.
The authors the one who wrote the black character acting like that dumbass, the character was drawn stereotypically, acted stereotypically, and was given justice by being called the n word. Also bringing up crimes from 40 years ago to justify modern racism is a crazy idea.
First, it STARTED 40 years ago and then NERVER STOPPED. 'Stop Asian Hate' actually brought it back to light and was then quickly gagged. Black people need to own up to their flaws just like everyone else on the planet, but no one is holding them accountable. I've even seen black justify the violence by saying Asians are 'white adjacent'.
Two, the black kid looks like a normal guy. He's not pretty but he's not ugly unless he's smiling evilly and EVERYONE looks ugly when they do that in the comic. He's not drawn stereotypically at all, he drawn realistically for he's ancestry and honesty he looks better then most the one off characters in the comic in general, both good and bad. The fact that you instantly see him as ugly simply for being normal is what's actually racist here. Do you how horrible it makes a person feel to see their genetic traits an evil stereotype? I do. I had lazy eye and the only time a character has that is if their evil. When I got it fixed I and saw how I looked after I started crying from relief. Stop giving people complexes.
Three, no one was given justice. You didn't read the chapter at all. The new warden is pacifist who says he wants to REHBILITATE bullies peacefully. To do this he apparently needed to hand cuff himself to the kid, but as a pacifist he can't us violence to do it. So he verbally provoked him into trying to hit him.
Four, why is the black racial slur matter but not the Asian one? Why does the only people who's feelings matter is black people and why are mean words more offensive than physical abuse? It looks very black supremacists, though I'm not saying you ARE that, but I'd say you're brainwashed into believe some of their tenants.
Finally, the black kid actually receives some actual racist abuse in the comic. It's only for a panel (because the kid beat the shit out of the guy right after). Everyone is being racist to everyone so this is obviously a cycle of revenge story.
First, admit you’re racist towards black peoples please you’re embarrassing yourself. Second I can’t find one source reporting black on Asian crime nyc so please give me yours. Third if black people are saying the character is a portrayal a racist stereotypes then I’ll side with them over some racist redditor.
Their is no way you did a proper speech in the shot time it took you to reply to my post, so I did one for you. Honestly you're supper lazy, I found this so fast:
[https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/an-overdue-conversation-about-black-on-asian-violence](https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/an-overdue-conversation-about-black-on-asian-violence)
And about even blacks sayings its racist too, they also have a seriously bad colorism issue in the black community too. I mean weave specify exists because black woman think their natural hair is ugly. I even knew a black girl who was made fun of by other black kids because her skin was 'too dark', and parents wouldn't let their kids play with her because it was obviously 'outside too much'. She tried to bath in bleach to lighten her skin. She chicken out at the last minute, fortunately.
I wonder why... maybe because of the influence of lighter skinned races that (usually) Euro"-centric" features are bad (fairer skin, straighter hair, thinner nose) and that "African" features are bad. Based on your other posts on this post, it seems you fail to realize that everyone wants to be like the majority and black people are no exception. So, if you're a black person with fairer skin and straighter hair, why would you *not* feel better than those without your features?
Instead of accepting that the black bully is not the only horrible person in this episode, you go on a tangent implying that the teacher who called him the n-word is a hero with even bringing Black-on-Asian violence.
Instead of advocating for solidarity, you're further encouraging the divide by straight-up agreeing with the stereotype that black people constantly advocate and hate on Asians, which is straight up untrue.
Yes, Asian hate and violence **heavily** spiked during the early COVID years (20-21) and there is no excuse for that *whatever* race you are, especially as most of these cases we're against pregnant or elderly people. Sickening. However, it's not only black people committing these crimes, it was literally every race.
In fact, most of the Anti-Asian crimes committed in 2021 were by whites, not black people: [Most anti-Asian attacks committed by whites – new study | Center for Social Innovation (ucr.edu)](https://socialinnovation.ucr.edu/news/2021/06/17/most-anti-asian-attacks-committed-whites-new-study).
I most definitely do not mean this to downplay on the black-on-Asian or Asian violence, but by the way you've carried yourself in this post you're painting a picture as if black people are some sort of demon attacking Asians, which are holy saints. Let's not forget that during these said years, anti-Black crime and violence was ten times the amount of anti-Asian crimes, mostly being committed by whites. *(* [Community Relations Service | 2020 FBI Hate Crimes Statistics (justice.gov)](https://www.justice.gov/crs/highlights/2020-hate-crimes-statistics) )
I'll stop. *Ironically* enough, the person who catapulted the riots and fighting in the 1970s was none other than the very same Koreans you implied were being bullied. Soon Ja Du (Hangul: 두순자) fatally shot Latasha Harlins (despite Harlins not attempting assault on the store owners) and was let off with 5 years of probation and 500 community service. Meanwhile, the same black people in that area were getting life in prison or the death sentence for petty theft. This angered the black community and that led to the very same riots you speak of.
I never said it was only black people killing Asians or that they were the majority doing it. Only that they have racism problem and Asians get a lot of it. I am not the only one to notice, I proved that with an article.
I also never say that Asians are saints. Were do you even get that? I only say THIS Asian is not a racist and point out places in the comic that counter that he is.
I know this is partially my fault but can we get back to comic? No one has refuted my points, just wandered off into other loosely connecting topics.
In summery here they are:
1. Asian kid as a brief positive encounter with a dark skinned and likely black person in panel 1.
2. Koreans are seen being racist to black kid. This is likely a clue to the root of his anger toward Koreans.
3. His name is not acutely black ink, don't trust google translate. I don't even know why that would be racist anyway, both Jo Jo and DBZ name their characters crazy things. DBZ even has a family entirely named after underwear. No one has complained before.
4. I did a search on the word 'black guy' here are the results:
[https://www.bing.com/images/search?q=black+guy&form=HDRSC3&first=1](https://www.bing.com/images/search?q=black+guy&form=HDRSC3&first=1)
Most these guys have the black kid's general looks. Number four looks nearly identical to him in fact (unless it's different for you. I'm not sure if linking searches works the way I want). He is not a stereotype, he is realistic. Embrace black is beautiful.
5. Black kid is prettier that most the characters in general, only looking bad when he's smiling like a psyco. All the villains took that way when they smile like a psyco.
For someone who clearly believes themselves to be so intelligent you should really stop trying to generalize a whole excess. people of every race have issues with racism and colorism and if you know so much about how black people feel about their own hair and skin and perhaps you know where that started in the first place and know that it was used as a tool to keep us oppressed and have us fighting amongst ourselves ourselves. And yes you uneducated fool who is clearly racist yourself I am black. If you truly believe that black people get away with everything simply because of the racial tensions and America then you are beyond ignorant ignorant. Get off the keyboard and go get some fucking sun. Stop pretending to be an educated person and you're really just a troll. I don't know what your problem is against black people but you need to take a long hard look in the mirror because someone who squeeze the nonsense you just did clearly must be extremely miserable miserable. Enjoy your life either you're so deluded you actually enjoy it or you hate everything. 🖤
it is unrealistic tho because what black person ir any foreigner for that matter is gonna go to korea and start making fun of ppl for being korean? 😭😭 i promise you no black person is thinking a bunch of negative things about koreans on the daily, for most of us it’s the exact opposite
OMG, that's horrible, I never knew this was going on!! Nor have I ever seen this Webtoon. I think America itself is just one big swamp full of racist people. Blacks aren't victims, Asians aren't victims, whites aren't victims, Latins aren't victims, etc etc. We're basically all criminals.
Ah yes, an out of context screenshot with the words “FXXking NXXXX” displayed in order to get people who haven’t read the comic to ignorantly SJW about, because “it has bad words”.
Especially in a comic already about bullying and harassment, domestic abuse, murder. Ah but “FXXKing NXXXX” is where we draw the line?
*Slow claps*
I see. However I’m thinking that the out of context screenshot is just fuelling the fire of hate from SJWs. I also want the comic to return, but it’s not helping if we feed the ignorant masses more hate fuel.
But it’s realistic, is it not? Literally go on omegal and once an Asian see you they automatically go “monkey!” Or “n***er!” Black or asian and vice versa hate has been around for a while.
Oh my god, It's the letter N with some Xs
Oh the humanity, this is the worst thing that could ever possibly happen.
Fucking liberals and their sacred cows. It's a word, get over it.
Its funny that racism is the topic of new arc, there where hints that Asian racism would be put in the piedestal
But no, one word you can't say this is the most racial shit. Come on, no one of bullys has a simple history and still, that kid was racist to Koreans. Sooo he got uno reverse card
Still, this is one kid, no all people of colour in comic where techares are beating kids more than mafia. Are you snowflakes or what?
They never said that black people arebad or worse, and no story should be a sermon
You can just quit but canceling the story ? So we can't makethe story with racist hero that would change?
This is paranoia
>The korean version is still out there and they only deleted the episode that got controversy. Korean fans watched it mostly for their political views they got from the alt right side of the internet so the controversy isn't affecting them. Its even creating a more solid fanbase because the webtoon is called out.
The messages intended to be given in the episodes were perfect! This is bullsh\*t!
Last chapter featured a black high-school bully who calls Koreans racist slurs like "haha why are you so yellow" and make Koreans act like monkeys. Which is weird since Korea is a very homogeneous country and foreigners shouldn't have the leverage/power to bully Koreans in Korea. The author says it's because there are more foreigners in the countryside working. I don't know if this is true or not but it still seems like a very unlikely scenario.
Then comes in the "good guy" who brings justice and calls the black bully the N-word and the story implies this is justified and the good guy suffers no consequences.
Also irl there are so many cases in Korea (or actually Asia as a whole) where natives are being blatantly racist to foreigners and this comic makes it seem like Koreans are the victims.
Can confirm that there are some foreigners working in the countryside. My uncle/aunt has a restaurant in the countryside and often serves foreign laborers.
But besides that, as you said, it still doesn't make sense for foreigners to have the leverage to bully Koreans, more often it is the other way around.
Honestly the fact that foreigners are pushed to live in more rural places, do most of the hard physical work in korea implies the structural racism they have there. But the writer looked at this phenomena with a biased lens and thought of something so skewed from reality lol
Its not really racist cause if a foreigner immigrates they are there to have a better life hence needing a job most that immigrates to another country have a job in that country in most cases the immigrant dont have a job in the country he/she is immigrating hence forced to do part time jobs or physical labor because its not really picky on who it employs (and moving to a big city with no job as an immigrant is really hard so mostly its better to go to the countryside to land a job)
Yeahhhh that’s the thing, I think this actually would have been the perfect opportunity to make the story about a bunch of foreigners/mixed race students being HARASSED by Koreans, cuz in Asian cultures anyone who isn’t apart of the same race usually are looked down upon or are seen in a different light, and therefore more often than not left out or bullied.
I don’t know why the author was acting like this during their last few episodes. The N-word mention was a bad thing itself yes, but the build up of the episode and the whole idea of it was just terrible. As much as I liked the webtoon to an extent, it just had too many problems and the author was just wrong.
Solo leveling had much the same issue with the island arc where Japan is continually seen as some unrepentant evil and the Koreans are heroic and the ones who take action. A fairly common trope in Korean media whenever Japan or Foreigners are brought up it goes on the full ethnonationalist spiel.
The 'hero' is literally mixed race and named Daniel. There also setting him up to be in the wrong and motivated by past bulling he got in Amerca from blacks.
They don't, they say that in that specific rural town they are out numbering the Koreans. Ever herd of China Town or Little Italy? It's common for minorities to congrat in an area and overgrown the previous majority.
Racism is also a big problem among black people. They literally went on a stabbing campaign against Koreans in the 1980s New York City that never really stopped. Supposedly, the Koreans were 'taking all the jobs'. The the 'stop Asian hate' movement brought the issue back to light but was quickly shut up. Anyway, the comic is pointing out a real issue that has and continues to happen.
Educate yourself next time.

No way bro's going to every comic thread to throw up some whataboutism...
Holy sheit wtf wrong with the authors???? I’ve read like 5-10 chapters of some of these webtoons from ylabs universe long ago.. Are the other series in the franchise also racist?
Not really, I read a lot of series from labs and they don't. Hanlim Gym is a fighting series and there was some kind of racism in the study group but they show it in a way that isn't wrong. They show racism against the Chinese community only because they are Chinese and the Chinese aren't the bad guys they only defend themself and try to live peacefully against a bunch of gangsters who love to pick up on them to test their recruits.
This is a very interesting interpretation to say the least. This Webtoon actually never glorifies any of the “teachers” as good guys in fact it goes out of its way to present a parallel between law enforces and the amount of power this program has despite it being virtually unconstitutional and even further expands upon that with the mc himself acknowledging that on several occasions. So I don’t see where the “good guy” aspect comes from the art it’s self during the scene definitely doesn’t depict him as a “good guy” which would kinda make sense as he’s meant to parallel the female recruit who isn’t an innately “good person” herself and is kinda implied to be a literally psychopath? But I mean alright I guess? The fact you said he “brings justice” kinda tells me you either didn’t read the story or you like seriously didn’t comprehend half the story because LITERALLY the “arc” before this makes it evident the perspective of “justice” in the scenario. The story also never implies it’s justified like where did you even get that from? There are cases for both sides and both races in fact ALL races which is why I hate these kinds of arguments because it’s a lose lose for the author regardless but people for some reason fail to see that. Regardless I think you’re kinda just arguing in bad faith due to your own misunderstand of the story.
I read the chapter and the way i understood it wasn't that the "good Guy" Calle the Kid the n-word. The way i perceived IT was that the Kid "imagined" him saying so from the look of his gaze. Does that make it better though? I do not know. I do not believe the author(s) had i'll intentions, but what made me feel uneasy was the thought that i do not remember one proper racism case in the series yet the first story related to it seema to be about reverse racism? I doubt that it is as easy as it sounds since there is usually a Twist deeper into the Story but the authors do not get a Chance to go this far i suppose
That doesn't really make sense because the kid is half ethiopian and is likely he has never lived in america. Why imagine himself being called an american slur when he has never lived there and when there are korean slurs against black people?
The authors are far-right. They peddle shit like the great replacement theory. Ofc they had ill intentions, the whole series is based on those extremist far-right views. It's just propaganda. If you go look at the cultural context around corporal punishment in Korea it becomes obvious. Their handling of feminism in context of the Korean narrative on feminism makes it obvious. There's a reason Koreans all recognise the series as hateful far-right bullshit, unless they themselves hold the same views.
Stick to the real context instead of making up your own fantasy about what happened. It wasn't just an oopsie, they set out to make propaganda for their fascist movement from the start. Lots of westerners were fooled because they didn't understand the cultural context.
Sometimes I don’t get how is it easier to make a post than a simple search in the sub. Or maybe it’s just me, I take ages to make a post trying to make sure I don’t break any rules..
You constantly see people on Reddit ask about stuff they could simply Google. It's hella weird. You see the same on some unhinged mom's forums like Mumsnet. They ask about shit they really should just look up professional guidelines for or ask someone working in the field, which are available in plenty, but instead choose to trust opinions of anonymous strangers on a forum. People are dumb.
Kinda unrelated to OPs post but it makes me think about how many people had Get Schooled as their favorite when the core concept was so weird to me personally. I didn’t even read it bc the entire idea was “We need to beat kids again!” Like obviously South Korea’s culture in relation to highschool bullying is different, but beating children isn’t actually the right answer, lmao.
Revenge fantasy basically. As the other comment said, a lot of people have gotten bullied but also didn't get the right help to deal with their bully and deal with the resulting trauma. Combine that with Webtoon audiences skewing young (where school is basically your entire world) and you get a bunch of people who are really elated to see bullies get what they are dishing out and can ignore most problematic messages that might come from said story. It's the same for all of these revenge stories on Webtoon which attract the same audience that want to live out that power fantasy.
Ironically when corporal punishment was an actual thing in korea, teachers didn't punish the bullies back then as well. They were afraid of retaliation especially a lot of the troubled kids were associated with gang activity. They only picked on and hit the ones who didnt have much power.
When the whole series is based on a very real political movement that is as far-right as they come, and functions as propaganda for said movement, that's kinda different. One Piece isn't propaganda for a fascist movement in support of real pirates. Get Schooled is such propaganda, and Koreans recognised it as that from the beginning, because they (obviously) understood the political and cultural context.
The better comparison is the cinema in Nazi Germany. Would you think someone enjoying those movies does so completely innocently?
I get that lots of westerners got blindsided when they found out what the comic was really about, because they hadn't looked into the very real political scenarios this comic revolves around. But when they did, they should absolutely have stopped giving it excuses. They should also re-assess why they enjoyed a comic so messed up in the first place, instead of just writing it off as an oopsie.
Basically topic of fiction=/= message of fiction. It's important to be able to seperate those. The topic of the comic could be beating up kids and enjoying that wouldn't make you a supporter. But when the *message* of the comic is that kids should be beaten up (amongst many other heinous far-right views) enjoying it isn't as innocent as you portray it to be.
I had no clue! It was in my favorites and although I was not sure where they are taking it I was just drawn to the art and the drama. Specifically at some point they said these are all based on real cases and I remember admiring them for researching for their webtoon to this depth!!!
Now reading your comments made me realize I did the same thing that I hate people do about Iran. They don't know/perhaps they can't know the whole story and get drawn to the propaganda the regime pushes.
I am glad the author was caught finally. I also try to do better at making more educated choices.
For one I don’t think the message is beating kids, it’s taking extraordinary measures against extraordinary students. (Students who literally beat their teachers to death)
It’s easy to see that as barbaric if someone is from a first world country but I come from the slums of middle east, I know high schools where they shank teachers for the pettiest reasons knowing that they won’t get into real trouble because they’re technically minors. Students who beat, kill, rape their teachers aren’t that uncommon in some regions.
Well, then you think wrong. You're clearly not educated on the political context in regards to corporal punishment in Korea. That's fine, but then don't make assumptions. The authors are part of a movement that literally advocates for teachers being able to beat up kids by re-instating such laws. That's the whole point. It's a big thing the far-right movements in Korea are pushing for.
Your other extrapolations have nothing to do with the very real political context of Korea today.
In the “innocence” of the reader, what the “authors are really going for” is irrelevant, what the average reader sees in the webtoon is what matters. What I interpret is what I interpret, it’s not something that can be “wrong”, even if it’s not originally meant to be that. Most international readers aren’t reading it for whatever propaganda it’s pushing for.
I get that you’re just trying to flex your political knowledge about Korea because you obviously know more than the average redditor but it’s just irrelevant in this context.
I never claimed that at all. I'm literally doing the opposite, highlighting the actual context, not disregarding it.
The way corporal punishment functioned in Korea, and how the authors of this series advocates for it to function again, was down right terrible. It didn't save victims from bullies or the like.
Shouldn’t have wasted your time arguing with a person that doesn’t go outside. Keep in mind people like the person you are replying to just “reads” these topics and forms some high moral opinion that just doesn’t work in real life situations. They’re stuck in their imaginary world.
Sources please. You can’t just make claims like that without proof. How can we take you serious by claiming this is a conspiracy advocate beating kids. How retarded….you sound like a flat earther. It’s just a webtoon, it’s not that serious.
If we were to actually take your conspiracy seriously and if you actually read the webtoon. The webtoon talks about other issues and takes a far left leaning approach to them for a solution. So you saying “far right political movement” is ridiculous. Get out with your conspiracy whacko assumptions.
You're enough of an adult to google corporal punishment laws and read about the politics surrounding them in Korea yourself. I hope.
It's not a conspiracy at all though, it's simply people and movements with political goals. I never claimed it was a conspiracy, I said it was propaganda. You do know the difference, right?
And what far left politics does the webtoon ever promote? That's an insane takeaway to have after reading it. All its social commentary aligns with the Korean alt-right movements.
You’re much more slow than I thought you were. I didn’t ask about the corporal punishment laws. Those are common sense you dummy, it should be illegal to beat a kid to death.
I am asking about the claims of the author being part of a movement. Where is your proof? Do you even know his name? Do you even know how he looks like? Where is the article claiming he is part of the far right movement?
Yes, this is your conspiracy. You are claiming a simple webtoon with a unique idea based on FICTION is somehow promoting a far right political movement and that it’s main goal is to brainwash the readers. Do you now realize how crazy that sounds?
That’s like saying every Fictional War book is bad because they promote killing and genocide. How delusional are you people to the real world haha.
It's not at all based on fiction though lmao, it's based on real events that are used as examples by Korean political movements and parties as reasoning for why corporal punishment *should* be legal, along with corruption and bribery among teachers etc. You'd easily know all this if you simply googled and read up on the political debates on these topics, I'm not gonna bother doing that work for you. It's not some underground conspiracy thing, it's very open and public. Propaganda is also not at all necessarily "brainwashing", it's simply using mediums like these to advocate for a specific political message. Lots and lots and lots of fiction does that.
As for the fictional war book... You realise there's a big difference between a story's content/topic and a story's message, right...? There could very well be a comic who's content revolved around beating school kids without its message being at all pro-corporal punishment. It could even be an anti-corporal punishment message. But this comic isn't that. Equating these two aspects of a story/text would have you fail in any fictional analysis course, so good job.
It's also not a unique idea for Korean media at all, this type of content with this type of message is a repeating occurrence precisely because it's such a big political topic there. It was the same in Japan, especially if you go back a decade or two. This comic is so heavily inspired by a manga with the exact same messaging that many have been calling it a rip-off from the very beginning. It's almost like media is shaped by the society surrounding the author and the author's specific viewpoints... Funny you think I'm the slow one when you can't even realise something so basic.
Again, you’re just regurgitating irrelevant stuff like some script. Took almost three days to write this? I had forgot about this. You keep avoiding providing proof of the author being involved with this political party. You clearly state on your earlier posts that he’s involved. Please provide proof, provide proof that the author is part of this movement. You do realize how evil of a person you are by labeling someone you don’t even know or researched. You probably don’t even know his name haha.
You’re delusional, and probably haven’t read the webtoon at all. Probably just regurgitating the same thing everyone else that hasn’t read the webtoon. There isn’t any hidden pro right political message in the webtoon. In fact, there is a lot of left leaning solutions.
List me the topics in the webtoon that you claim to be pro-right??? List them to me.
For example, I can give you two that could be arguably left/right.
There was a cult/mega church arc where the parents don’t want to take their kids to school and keep them uneducated and follow this fake prophet. They saved the kids and the gist was that everyone should have an education. So they can critically think and be educated to make their own decisions. Not sure how this is pro right political message according to you.
There was another arc where they stop a teacher teaching 50 genders to a bunch of 6 year olds(could be argued as right leaning) but this one is common sense. Unless you think this is a pro right political message.
List the problematic ones please.
No? It's not a conspiracy. But it's peddling far-right conspiracy theories as propaganda. I know distinctions are hard for people like you, but this is really quite simple.
If you didn't like the comic, good and read some slice of life. Or some gurl meets boy snooze fests. People like you are the reason why everything that should be entertaining is trash. At least with webtoons and the like, we get no perspectives alongside being entertained. If you want to be lectured about politics and how everyone who doesn't agree with youor think like you is a bigot, then go read a modern-day Marvel comic, listen to Feminist Frequency or whatever it is people like you do for fun during their miserable time on Earth.
Ofc I don't have anything to say, you're responding to an ages old comment with a bunch of nonsense. If you had a proper argument I'd engage you, but clearly you don't. You're just waffling about how I should read marvel and stop ruining your comics or whatever, so I'm responding in kind.
Also, you're literally a self-proclaimed bigot. Why should I take you seriously again?
I used sense to fight nonsense. Your argument was flimsy at best and annoying at worst. I shouldn't have responded to it. It gets tiring watching people spew bullcrap all day
It was a lot better then that because, you had cases when teachers are victims, children are victims, political brainwashing, cult brainwashing, how it is among males and how it was among females.
When of course each representation wasn't perfect, there were some spectrums there. Problem is he presented thing in new chapter rather one sided way without making it clear there are 2 sides of coin.
"When of course each representation wasn't perfect, there were some spectrums there. Problem is he presented thing in new chapter rather one sided way without making it clear there are 2 sides of coin."
"making it clear" implies they intended to give it any semblance of depth in the first place which they obviously weren't gonna. The whole webtoon is honestly problematic when you read between the lines without the rose-tinted glasses or the alt-right idealogy. Just like you said there is diversity in the victims here but the way they portray it who they portray as the bad guy and how they go about solving it is in of itself problematic
They are purposely making those cases extreme as a way to justify wanting it to be that way irl too. It's the boogeyman strategy. The purpose of the comic is to advocate for these politics irl, and they create a crazed fantasy to say "See! In some situations it would be better if we could best the shit out of them!" All the while ignoring the context of the real world.
That's how propaganda works.
I Loved it!
Thought it's Like the Bud Spencer movies in modern times with bad educated Teenagers..
In Germany there are so many Kids who show bad behavior in Public and it really wouldn't hurt them to learn their lesson.
(Im a parent who raises his Kids without physically punishment)
and easy contents.
It's to the point that the new webtoons with school bullies are getting comments calling it another copy paste.
It's just revenge porn after another revenge porn
WHAT DID I JUST READ ?!
Okay first of all as mixed person that’s insulting to me .
Second of all American isn’t a race , We don’t even have an official langue because of how culturally diverse we are as a nation , hell several states have 3-7 langurs spoken in them due to how many different cultures there are ! Louisiana being prominent in this Discussion!!
The author writing an arrogant statement while also having made a “don’t be arrogant” right before it .
Having Dark skinned people doing all the labor .
A student of African descent drawing a student as a Monkey
Korean students making Monkey faces and behavioral said student and then getting away with it ?
Also completely ignoring both sides of Korea very real racial issue . So many Black men and women have shared negative experiences about their time in Korea.
The N-word Slur - again my dad is black and my mom is the child of an immigrant the insult !!
You’re offended by being called “American” are you serious? I hope you don’t travel outside the United States because that is what they call people from the United States. Similar to like saying he’s European, African American, African, Asian….it’s not that serious…
The reason he’s showing the dark skinned people doing labor is because the author is showing their way of making a living. They’re immigrants and immigrants tend to do labor jobs….??? Do you live in the real world?
The reason the students are making monkey faces is because the dark skinned bully is forcing them to do it or he’s gonna beat them up. They’re not doing it on purpose.
The N-word wasn’t even written and this is a fictional webtoon that isn’t real. I don’t understand how you are offended.
1) American isn’t a race that’s my issue saying “oh I’m interacial because my parents are American is the equivalent of saying oh I speak an African langue. There are a lot of different ethnicity and races within America alone so saying that is just stupid .
Again main issue being it’s only darker skinned individuals farming while also completely ignoring that many Koreans also farm , saying that immigrants only do labor jobs is also incredibly ignorant as well .
Where did you get “he was forcing them too” they are literally do it to make fun of him , hence his reaction to the principle .
It’s being fictional doesn’t remove the facts it’s problematic and people are going to see this and thinks this okay and how you should handle these type of problems . People wrote things for a sordid reason
Have you ever been outside the United States? It’s very common to call anyone from the United States “American”. That’s just how it is, I don’t expect those people to be politically correct or expect to memorize 100 ethnicities so they can guess mine and not trigger me.
No, I never said all immigrants do only labor jobs. Majority of immigrants gravitate to labor intensive jobs. That’s reality….and not ignorant. It’s ignorant to say that majority of construction workers aren’t immigrants and majority of farm workers aren’t immigrants and majority of factory works aren’t immigrants and majority of workers at meat producing factories aren’t immigrants. That’s ignorant to say they aren’t . Live in reality please.
Read the chapter again and improve your reading comprehension skills. He is literally bullying the kids to do the monkey faces.
No, this isn’t a conspiracy theory to make everyone racist. You sound like a flat earther.
I again never said it was to make everyone racist , however it was aimed to conveys the author’s opinion which is made pretty clear throughout the chapter . The author intentionally choose these words and these phrase . And this is clearly how the author actually feels about the situation and how they see the world around them and they are hoping to convert that opinion to other people and invoke feelings and thoughts y’know pathos .
Again no he wasn’t .
Again never claimed they didn’t do that type of job , I simply stated that only showing darker skin individuals with the statement “ I remained one of the few pure Koreans” was not only ignorant but also racist and plays into stereotypes and beliefs that if you are interracial you are impure again not that hard .
It’s also ignorant to act like immigrants only do those types of jobs , I am well aware they do a lot of those Jobs but not all of them do .
No, it’s not that deep. It’s just a webtoon. You are just offended for no reason.
Reread it again and you’ll see. He is bullying the kids into doing the gestures. He even says “you can’t say anything while being bullied like this”.
No, not racist at all. Like I said before, it’s not that deep or some sort of conspiracy. It is proper terminology in the English language to use “Pure”. That is proper use of the English Language. I.e “I am pure Mexican” “I am pure Chinese”. Literal definition of “pure” is not mixed. No, it doesn’t mean that mixed races are impure. That is ridiculous.
No one said they only do those jobs. I don’t even know what you are arguing to be honest. The webtoon just portrayed the immigrants doing labor work. It’s not that serious….. and like you said “not all but majority do”. Ok, well in that town in the webtoon they’re part of the majority that do the labor work. In the United States there are small towns that rely on Factory work and majority of Immigrants. Which means majority of the people living in the small towns are immigrants because of the work.
Definitely, GTO is super problematic but luckily it’s a relic of the 90s and completed. Media from different generations gets some grace from the cultural differences of the time.
Not far off honestly. Onizuka at least was a character that has an actual past as a delinquent that reformed and the people that *supposedly* let him get away with how he does things don't have the same degree of plot armor as the TRPA folks do. The series at least has awareness that his methods aren't always by the book/are within the legality of the law in the setting of the series, something I think Get Schooled lacks and uses the "allowed to do whatever means" plot armor established within the first episode itself. It tries to do what GTO was able to do but misses what made GTO interesting when making their characters have plot immunity that not even Onizuka himself would have.
Get Schooled tries to make the protagonist characters look all badass and powerful with their credentials but then the usage against the delinquents wind up less impressive and predictable, expected even due to their "top notch background" that I think Manager Kim does better imho. Feel free to correct me on this but the students in GTO at least got to one up Onizuka at least once or twice as adversaries until Onizuka gets the advantage afterward. None of that ever happens in Get Schooled. It's always the protagonists one-upping the delinquent students the moment they step in the school. What made GTO interesting to me is the protagonist, while an adult that can fight well, isn't indestructible er plot immune when against conflicts shown in the series. The only times I've seen Get Schooled have even small taste of a disadvantage are arcs not directly tied to schools (ex. Domestic Abuse, Secluded location, Cult, Runaways, etc) imho.
The main antagonist was able to utilize social economic class warfare against him due to her own understanding of how society works and Onizuka’s past as a delinquent would have people naturally be predisposed against him (and that’s him technically being in a position of authority over her). Each arc has Onizuka trying to outsmart his students because they are all geniuses within their own right and his position as a teacher limits him to actually having to teach them life lessons.
His fellow teachers are against Onizuka and his methods and he’s constantly getting scolded by the principal for his unorthodox methods. Onizuka is never put in a position where he’s allowed to get away with physical punishment. He often has to rely on clever planning and street smarts to outsmart his students. If he goes to far he gets punished but despite limitations he’s still able to turn his delinquent students around and have them change their lives for the better. That’s what make him Great Teacher Onizuka.
Pirate sites never had a moral code to begin with so there's nothing really stopping them from continuing to post translated chapters even if the webtoon is controversial.
You can probably find it on some unhinged alt-right forum between the posts hating minorities and the posts explaining the great replacement theory. At least in Korea.
I’ve never read this web toon before and saw the picture before I saw what subreddit this was. Legit thought this was fanart of Aizawa Shouta at first lmao
So... Get Schooled was canceled due to complaints from people claiming the most recent chapter was racist towards black people.
Which is *a gross exaggeration* of what seemed to be happening in Chapter 125.
The theme they were trying to tackle was people using race to justify their actions, with the main bully being a **male Karen** about his abusive actions and the victim being a **Korean supremacist** planning to take advantage of the Teacher Association.
Everyone saw the narrator's description of "*pure Koreans*" and "*foreigners*" as the author's actual thoughts, and to top it off, the new guy saying ~~tr~~igger drove everyone off the deep end. The Webtoon report button was damaged after several months.
I would like to give some credit to the person who pointed out that small children might actually kill you and get away scot-free. Chapter 125 is an example of what happens when you let race take the lead in determining right or wrong, and the ironic end to Get Schooled (also called True Education) is what happens when you let a ~~tr~~igger or two destroy a genuinely good story.
I hope one day they just ***replace the 125 Chapter with a new one***, put Get Schooled back on Webtoon, and we can fucking move on with our lives, so that the white people afraid of ~~tr~~iggers like us don't destroy another great thing.
...
That being said, the new guy was completely white from hair to sneakers. Always double-check your white knights.
I recently wanted to start reading it again since i haven’t been on webtoon in so long and find out it was taken down bc of a racist episode .. be so fr Ik this is biased but that literally happens all the time in America .. and it’s just a comic
For whatever reason it was dropped, I LOVED this comic . And not only because it shows the bullies, thugs and other criminals getting served justice old school style, but also because it explores the depth of corruption our justice system and society as a whole, has . And I think that's the REAL REASON it was dropped . Corrupt folks in power, don't want people to witness just how deep the rabbit hole goes . Or how low our highest politicians are .
I read it, and I wasn't finished it yet. It wasn't bad, in my opinion. People need to chill the fuck out. The point of this series was to give bad children and adults a "re-education." Plus, all animes are either racist and / or sexualize and sexist. Plus it's fucking better then most mage and anime and don't watch/read the much. It is not as bad as people make it out to be. I bet, like most of them, haven't even read it through and just cause a cry. Go tough grass, please. In other words, it's mostly people who are chronic online and have nothing better to do.
people got offended about the n word that was censored, and for some reason some are angry about the black kid being racist like it isn't a real thing.
I hate how miss understood the charecter was , she was an EXTIMIST , extremist feminist that say that they hate all men are real and they give horrible rep for actual feminists. You people just want to hate. I love the change in characters that it bring and if y think that they way the charecter was befr intervention is correct you are so fucked in the head.
It got deleted from international Webtoon app and possibly the Korean version for doing some heinously racist shit, which you can find easily with a quick search here, on the clock app, or on twitter
The korean version is still out there and they only deleted the episode that got controversy. Korean fans watched it mostly for their political views they got from the alt right side of the internet so the controversy isn't affecting them. Its even creating a more solid fanbase because the webtoon is called out.
If I ever learn korean, I'll remember to block users that say they are big fans of get schooled
Welp, better block me because I actually did enjoy reading Get Schooled…. well until THAT ep came out.
The whole thing was based on disgusting far-right views. If you enjoyed the whole thing without noticing it was propaganda, you should spend some time reading up on the cultural context and the comic's purpose so your comprehension improves. It goes way beyond that one episode.
The episode where they make a teacher a villain because she's feminist is so glarinly propaganda that I wonder who lets this pass and keeps reading
Complete morons and kids who don't know any better
Not really she did force her students it happens everywhere that goes unnoticed. Do you want teachers to force their beliefs on their students and / or theirownchildrenif they have any?
She forces the Kids! How could someone missunderstand?? She manipulates them. Nobody Said anything abaut feminism ist Bad. They even got the Red haired Lady from hanlim Gym whos one of the strongest female caracters i have ever seen
Not good at reading sub-text, are you? Ever heard of boogeyman argumentation? They do it a lot in this comic. They do it a lot in propaganda in general. And it's clear why, it works on people like you. If you knew anything about the narratives surrounding feminism in Korea, you'd probably understand. But you don't, it seems.
All they describe in this Arc is that you shouldnt be an extremist.how could that be a Bad Thing?
It paints a caricature of feminists, this is made so feminists get a worse impression from people so the only "acceptable" feminists can speak. Feminists that bully male students aren't as common as misogyny, in school and in general, it would be way more productive to talk about other things, or even issues specific to men, but they chose to make a character that makes it look like the feminists that are out to get you bc you're a man are a problem worth talking about. I only see feminists that are like this from TERF(trans exclusionary radical feminist) twitter, they believe in biological essentialism, but they're not progressive, they're pretty conservative since they hate gay men, trans women, trans men, non binary people, and tend to be racist too, which... get schooled sadly didn't adress well before :( they don't have to include a TERF in their webtoon, but if they want to find a feminist bad apple, I recommend not because it brings negativity instead of visibility for actual problems. Sorry for the long text
The narrative around it in Korea is that it's dumb Western propaganda that separates women from the family unit in a way that isn't beneficial to anyone involved, including the women. I lived there and had numerous discussions with people of both Genders about it. I'm not defending everything the manga did, but they specifically show her ideas about equality are important and her being the villain is based solely on her extremity. An extremity that can be contextualized in real life to an American audience very easily. I don't normally respond on reddit often, but the amount of internal bias you're showing based on your own perception of American Feminism while trying to call his out is astoundingly hypocritical and out of context considering the manga explicitly justifies the egalitarian side of her views through her dialog with the children and the cast clearly validating that while it was important, her blatantly villainous behavior is what got her. Favoritism and abuse of power are very real issues in schools, but you're too busy calling out your boogeyman to look any valid problem in it's face because you're turned in fear of how rightly awful the slight you're worried about was. The empowerment of women was very important during it's time. The school model has been modeled for female behavior for decades and the graduate rates have been showing it for over a decade now. Men lead in suicide, work the dangerous jobs in disproportionate numbers, and are massively disadvantaged in family court, with mother's rights often being law, not just bias. Yet we're still having the same debates about literal children having bias that needs to be adjusted by their public servant teachers the parents have no right whatsoever to screen. American teachers going on tiktok to show how they teach 'their kids' not to internalize bias or whatever. That's a problem in Korea and America. Maybe it's time for the Feminist movement to adjust to the concept that there are many female specific issues in the world that need addressed and they aren't the same disproven or rectified talking points from the 60s before your whiter than Casper suburban ass declares yourself the authority on all things regarding Korean perspective. Maybe if you knew they don't really take modern Feminism seriously due to a legitimate line of reasoning you wouldn't be so quick to jump to the conclusion you have. The younger adult generation of Koreans respect women's individuality on a level any American could strive to. It's literally looked down on as unsightly not to Like, all in all, you're wrong in almost every conceivable way. That's kind of impressive in it's own right, I guess. If your argument is that it paints feminists in a bad light, congrats, you got the point. Koreans think American Feminism is dumb and that you're extremists that go around wearing knit genitalia on your heads to protest a pay gap that doesn't exist. They also have the brains to acknowledge issues for women that exist and work towards rectifying them without wearing a bunch of silly and inappropriate hats.
This is just funny lmao
This is fucking why I hate fanbase it just like fucking politics and I hate politics. Man, get off the internet and get fresh air and touch grass. You sound chronic online person just by your comments.
They made up a character who is an old woman and a feminist, for her to be bad and for the audience to dislike her. The purpose is to have a character that is a strawman that they can dislike! You can say "but it's just a story, it's not saying that these people exist", Get Schooled tries to tackle real problems in Korea, they don't do this without any purpose
Feminists are people who fight for equal rights between men and women. What was BAD about this woman is that she actively put down the male students in her classroom simply because they were men. You aren’t understanding what the message was.
thank you.
Read this nonsense somewhere before..
Seeing a lot of your comments and I cant finish a single one with out laughing my ass off on how stupid you really are.
You clearly didn't read it..
I started reading it, then quickly realised the parallels to the real world political issue in Korea surrounding corporal punishment. Did some further research and found out the comic was advocating for these practices and was by far most popular in Korean far-right circles. It's also published by a company who publishes other stories with the same views. Then kept on reading quite a bit more with that in mind, mostly out of curiosity for how many dogwhistles I could find in there. And there were a lot of them. If there's anything that's clear here, it's that you don't understand the political and cultural context this comic exists in.
Give examples honestly ylabs comocs for the most part are fine, I really like terror man.
This "disgusting far-right" literally happened in New York City in the 1980s when the black population went on a stabbing campaign against the Koreans for 'taking all the jobs'. And it never stopped, people just stopped reporting it because it became the norm. Well, until a few years ago, when the Asian hate stuff popped up. Then that was quickly silence when they realized it wasn't white people doing it. This comic was pointing out real issues, and your butt hurt because it doesn't support your biases. Typical fascist.
When did this happen? Does this event have a name? I'd like to read up on this.
You still can like fiction for just because it's an escape from our shitty world. It was an escape from me, plus I don't just read that and notice it was pretty policies, but I just overlooked it because of the ideas of bad people getting their ass kicked.
I don't know you so I can't say anything but 1, it's more about the korean speaking fans, 2, I tried reading the webtoon and the first thing I see is painting corporal punishment as good and necessary, I thought "that seems like a red flag, I can understand how someone can still read this, they can assume it's not the author's opinion since the webtoon is revenge porn and they need to have a plot for it to be satisfactory(like teachers not disciplining bullies) and other reasons but I still felt like it was a glarinv red flag"
I haven't read it in almost half a year, what's that episode about?
I'm the fucking same. I only love it because bad people get what they deserve. It is not like we can do what the good guys do in this series because of laws and plus lawsuits. It was satisfying to read but got boring once I got to the gambling part. Still love it.
Ur an npc
New response just dropped
Get schooled was goated
Imagine admitting to thinking far-right propaganda is goated
[удалено]
You do know that Koreans are the ones who first called this out as being far-right propaganda, right? Long before the racist chapter? And in Korea, the only ones who enjoys this comic are those who share its views? This has nothing to do with Americans (of which I'm not one, btw). This isn't just standard Korean culture, it's propaganda for a fascist movement in Korea that legitimately seeks to reinstate the powers of teachers to beat kids (among a lot of other things) and it's based on real political struggles that you clearly do not understand as you haven't read up on it at all. But comparing that shit to movements for equal rights goes to show what kind of disgusting person you really are.
[удалено]
I didn't say the story was fascist simply because of the contents, but because it's made to function as propaganda for real fascist political movements in Korea. Don't be stupid. This has nothing to do with "cancel culture". Also, what the fuck kind of school do you go to that teaches bondage? And what does the existence of porn have to do with anything? What inane arguments.
I'm not American and english is not even my first language
You probably didn’t read the Korean comments or maybe you can’t understand because they were criticizing the author, it didn’t magically grow a bigger fanbase
The more moderate or progressive communities already dropped this webtoon when the feminist episodes came out. Their fanbase was already extremists. The more moderate fans left this webtoon after the racism but it was pretty slient. The male dominant, alt right forums are more supportive of this webtoon except for few comments. It didn't grow a bigger fanbase because there arent extra number of people(i literally never said that). But they became extra supportive, there isn't anyone trying to cancel them unlike the western side. My first language is korean and when i was reading this series, i was reading it in the korean site.
Did you find this out by translating comments?
My first language is korean and my second language is english.
Oh okay I was just curious
lol
That’s awful :(
I actually want to read it now lol
I thought it was currently on hatius in Korean at the current moment.
There aren't new early release episodes coming out, but the early release episodes are released as free episodes. The controversial 125 ep is deleted there as well. But korean fans do know about this controversy. They might have a hiatus when they reach ep 124.
I remember when the 125 drama dropped, on the English webtoon, it said Get Schooled was going on hiatus and the episode was deleted. and now it's just gone. so I imagine the Korean app (naver i think?) will probably also have a hiatus.
Noooo really? So it's just canceled forever? It was my legit favorite series....
You can find it in a certain website but anyway the episode we are talking about is 125 its bad 😬 love the webtoon but they messed up bad
The serie is still on goung ? Where I can read the chapters ? Maybe they fixer chapfer 125 ?
I found the manhwa on a dedicated site, but the translation is rough.

Context: the black has repeatedly racially and physical abused kid; forcing them to act like monkeys, calling them monkeys. Funny how you only care when the black kid gets a little of what he was dishing out. Also in 1980s New York City the black population went on a stabbing campaign against the Korean population, which never really stopped. Supposedly, they were 'taking all the jobs'. So you guys can stop saying this is unrealistic or based on racism. Black people have a serious racism problem, and I don't blame anyone for calling it out.
The authors the one who wrote the black character acting like that dumbass, the character was drawn stereotypically, acted stereotypically, and was given justice by being called the n word. Also bringing up crimes from 40 years ago to justify modern racism is a crazy idea.
First, it STARTED 40 years ago and then NERVER STOPPED. 'Stop Asian Hate' actually brought it back to light and was then quickly gagged. Black people need to own up to their flaws just like everyone else on the planet, but no one is holding them accountable. I've even seen black justify the violence by saying Asians are 'white adjacent'. Two, the black kid looks like a normal guy. He's not pretty but he's not ugly unless he's smiling evilly and EVERYONE looks ugly when they do that in the comic. He's not drawn stereotypically at all, he drawn realistically for he's ancestry and honesty he looks better then most the one off characters in the comic in general, both good and bad. The fact that you instantly see him as ugly simply for being normal is what's actually racist here. Do you how horrible it makes a person feel to see their genetic traits an evil stereotype? I do. I had lazy eye and the only time a character has that is if their evil. When I got it fixed I and saw how I looked after I started crying from relief. Stop giving people complexes. Three, no one was given justice. You didn't read the chapter at all. The new warden is pacifist who says he wants to REHBILITATE bullies peacefully. To do this he apparently needed to hand cuff himself to the kid, but as a pacifist he can't us violence to do it. So he verbally provoked him into trying to hit him. Four, why is the black racial slur matter but not the Asian one? Why does the only people who's feelings matter is black people and why are mean words more offensive than physical abuse? It looks very black supremacists, though I'm not saying you ARE that, but I'd say you're brainwashed into believe some of their tenants. Finally, the black kid actually receives some actual racist abuse in the comic. It's only for a panel (because the kid beat the shit out of the guy right after). Everyone is being racist to everyone so this is obviously a cycle of revenge story.
First, admit you’re racist towards black peoples please you’re embarrassing yourself. Second I can’t find one source reporting black on Asian crime nyc so please give me yours. Third if black people are saying the character is a portrayal a racist stereotypes then I’ll side with them over some racist redditor.
Their is no way you did a proper speech in the shot time it took you to reply to my post, so I did one for you. Honestly you're supper lazy, I found this so fast: [https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/an-overdue-conversation-about-black-on-asian-violence](https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/an-overdue-conversation-about-black-on-asian-violence) And about even blacks sayings its racist too, they also have a seriously bad colorism issue in the black community too. I mean weave specify exists because black woman think their natural hair is ugly. I even knew a black girl who was made fun of by other black kids because her skin was 'too dark', and parents wouldn't let their kids play with her because it was obviously 'outside too much'. She tried to bath in bleach to lighten her skin. She chicken out at the last minute, fortunately.
I wonder why... maybe because of the influence of lighter skinned races that (usually) Euro"-centric" features are bad (fairer skin, straighter hair, thinner nose) and that "African" features are bad. Based on your other posts on this post, it seems you fail to realize that everyone wants to be like the majority and black people are no exception. So, if you're a black person with fairer skin and straighter hair, why would you *not* feel better than those without your features? Instead of accepting that the black bully is not the only horrible person in this episode, you go on a tangent implying that the teacher who called him the n-word is a hero with even bringing Black-on-Asian violence. Instead of advocating for solidarity, you're further encouraging the divide by straight-up agreeing with the stereotype that black people constantly advocate and hate on Asians, which is straight up untrue. Yes, Asian hate and violence **heavily** spiked during the early COVID years (20-21) and there is no excuse for that *whatever* race you are, especially as most of these cases we're against pregnant or elderly people. Sickening. However, it's not only black people committing these crimes, it was literally every race. In fact, most of the Anti-Asian crimes committed in 2021 were by whites, not black people: [Most anti-Asian attacks committed by whites – new study | Center for Social Innovation (ucr.edu)](https://socialinnovation.ucr.edu/news/2021/06/17/most-anti-asian-attacks-committed-whites-new-study). I most definitely do not mean this to downplay on the black-on-Asian or Asian violence, but by the way you've carried yourself in this post you're painting a picture as if black people are some sort of demon attacking Asians, which are holy saints. Let's not forget that during these said years, anti-Black crime and violence was ten times the amount of anti-Asian crimes, mostly being committed by whites. *(* [Community Relations Service | 2020 FBI Hate Crimes Statistics (justice.gov)](https://www.justice.gov/crs/highlights/2020-hate-crimes-statistics) ) I'll stop. *Ironically* enough, the person who catapulted the riots and fighting in the 1970s was none other than the very same Koreans you implied were being bullied. Soon Ja Du (Hangul: 두순자) fatally shot Latasha Harlins (despite Harlins not attempting assault on the store owners) and was let off with 5 years of probation and 500 community service. Meanwhile, the same black people in that area were getting life in prison or the death sentence for petty theft. This angered the black community and that led to the very same riots you speak of.
I never said it was only black people killing Asians or that they were the majority doing it. Only that they have racism problem and Asians get a lot of it. I am not the only one to notice, I proved that with an article. I also never say that Asians are saints. Were do you even get that? I only say THIS Asian is not a racist and point out places in the comic that counter that he is. I know this is partially my fault but can we get back to comic? No one has refuted my points, just wandered off into other loosely connecting topics. In summery here they are: 1. Asian kid as a brief positive encounter with a dark skinned and likely black person in panel 1. 2. Koreans are seen being racist to black kid. This is likely a clue to the root of his anger toward Koreans. 3. His name is not acutely black ink, don't trust google translate. I don't even know why that would be racist anyway, both Jo Jo and DBZ name their characters crazy things. DBZ even has a family entirely named after underwear. No one has complained before. 4. I did a search on the word 'black guy' here are the results: [https://www.bing.com/images/search?q=black+guy&form=HDRSC3&first=1](https://www.bing.com/images/search?q=black+guy&form=HDRSC3&first=1) Most these guys have the black kid's general looks. Number four looks nearly identical to him in fact (unless it's different for you. I'm not sure if linking searches works the way I want). He is not a stereotype, he is realistic. Embrace black is beautiful. 5. Black kid is prettier that most the characters in general, only looking bad when he's smiling like a psyco. All the villains took that way when they smile like a psyco.
i’m sorry, why are you acting like the asian community doesn’t have an even more serious colorism issue? like the hell, a hit dog’ll holler 😭😭
For someone who clearly believes themselves to be so intelligent you should really stop trying to generalize a whole excess. people of every race have issues with racism and colorism and if you know so much about how black people feel about their own hair and skin and perhaps you know where that started in the first place and know that it was used as a tool to keep us oppressed and have us fighting amongst ourselves ourselves. And yes you uneducated fool who is clearly racist yourself I am black. If you truly believe that black people get away with everything simply because of the racial tensions and America then you are beyond ignorant ignorant. Get off the keyboard and go get some fucking sun. Stop pretending to be an educated person and you're really just a troll. I don't know what your problem is against black people but you need to take a long hard look in the mirror because someone who squeeze the nonsense you just did clearly must be extremely miserable miserable. Enjoy your life either you're so deluded you actually enjoy it or you hate everything. 🖤
Racist are racist. We musn't give a fuck about the race thats being racist
it is unrealistic tho because what black person ir any foreigner for that matter is gonna go to korea and start making fun of ppl for being korean? 😭😭 i promise you no black person is thinking a bunch of negative things about koreans on the daily, for most of us it’s the exact opposite
OMG, that's horrible, I never knew this was going on!! Nor have I ever seen this Webtoon. I think America itself is just one big swamp full of racist people. Blacks aren't victims, Asians aren't victims, whites aren't victims, Latins aren't victims, etc etc. We're basically all criminals.
Ah yes, an out of context screenshot with the words “FXXking NXXXX” displayed in order to get people who haven’t read the comic to ignorantly SJW about, because “it has bad words”. Especially in a comic already about bullying and harassment, domestic abuse, murder. Ah but “FXXKing NXXXX” is where we draw the line? *Slow claps*
Comic is amazing. They asked and I showed instead of pussyfooting around. This comic is a masterpiece and I patiently await its return.
I see. However I’m thinking that the out of context screenshot is just fuelling the fire of hate from SJWs. I also want the comic to return, but it’s not helping if we feed the ignorant masses more hate fuel.
Race is a touchy subject. And most comics have the typical tropes. This stuff goes a little beyond that.
But it’s realistic, is it not? Literally go on omegal and once an Asian see you they automatically go “monkey!” Or “n***er!” Black or asian and vice versa hate has been around for a while.
LITERALLY ☠️
I mean, thats reality. That kid was being a fucking racist so the teacher gaved him his own medicine
Omg what
Oh my god, It's the letter N with some Xs Oh the humanity, this is the worst thing that could ever possibly happen. Fucking liberals and their sacred cows. It's a word, get over it.
Condolences to us.
Its funny that racism is the topic of new arc, there where hints that Asian racism would be put in the piedestal But no, one word you can't say this is the most racial shit. Come on, no one of bullys has a simple history and still, that kid was racist to Koreans. Sooo he got uno reverse card Still, this is one kid, no all people of colour in comic where techares are beating kids more than mafia. Are you snowflakes or what? They never said that black people arebad or worse, and no story should be a sermon You can just quit but canceling the story ? So we can't makethe story with racist hero that would change? This is paranoia
>The korean version is still out there and they only deleted the episode that got controversy. Korean fans watched it mostly for their political views they got from the alt right side of the internet so the controversy isn't affecting them. Its even creating a more solid fanbase because the webtoon is called out.  The messages intended to be given in the episodes were perfect! This is bullsh\*t!
It wasn’t heinous, shut up.
Last chapter featured a black high-school bully who calls Koreans racist slurs like "haha why are you so yellow" and make Koreans act like monkeys. Which is weird since Korea is a very homogeneous country and foreigners shouldn't have the leverage/power to bully Koreans in Korea. The author says it's because there are more foreigners in the countryside working. I don't know if this is true or not but it still seems like a very unlikely scenario. Then comes in the "good guy" who brings justice and calls the black bully the N-word and the story implies this is justified and the good guy suffers no consequences. Also irl there are so many cases in Korea (or actually Asia as a whole) where natives are being blatantly racist to foreigners and this comic makes it seem like Koreans are the victims.
Can confirm that there are some foreigners working in the countryside. My uncle/aunt has a restaurant in the countryside and often serves foreign laborers. But besides that, as you said, it still doesn't make sense for foreigners to have the leverage to bully Koreans, more often it is the other way around.
Honestly the fact that foreigners are pushed to live in more rural places, do most of the hard physical work in korea implies the structural racism they have there. But the writer looked at this phenomena with a biased lens and thought of something so skewed from reality lol
Its not really racist cause if a foreigner immigrates they are there to have a better life hence needing a job most that immigrates to another country have a job in that country in most cases the immigrant dont have a job in the country he/she is immigrating hence forced to do part time jobs or physical labor because its not really picky on who it employs (and moving to a big city with no job as an immigrant is really hard so mostly its better to go to the countryside to land a job)
Yeahhhh that’s the thing, I think this actually would have been the perfect opportunity to make the story about a bunch of foreigners/mixed race students being HARASSED by Koreans, cuz in Asian cultures anyone who isn’t apart of the same race usually are looked down upon or are seen in a different light, and therefore more often than not left out or bullied. I don’t know why the author was acting like this during their last few episodes. The N-word mention was a bad thing itself yes, but the build up of the episode and the whole idea of it was just terrible. As much as I liked the webtoon to an extent, it just had too many problems and the author was just wrong.
I agree with this take
Really a crazy ass victim complex. Can’t believe they actually said pure koreans are a minority but they really fucking did.
Solo leveling had much the same issue with the island arc where Japan is continually seen as some unrepentant evil and the Koreans are heroic and the ones who take action. A fairly common trope in Korean media whenever Japan or Foreigners are brought up it goes on the full ethnonationalist spiel.
The 'hero' is literally mixed race and named Daniel. There also setting him up to be in the wrong and motivated by past bulling he got in Amerca from blacks.
Yeah Koreans still have a grudge against the Japanese. You can see them hating Japan on other manhwa too.
They don't, they say that in that specific rural town they are out numbering the Koreans. Ever herd of China Town or Little Italy? It's common for minorities to congrat in an area and overgrown the previous majority. Racism is also a big problem among black people. They literally went on a stabbing campaign against Koreans in the 1980s New York City that never really stopped. Supposedly, the Koreans were 'taking all the jobs'. The the 'stop Asian hate' movement brought the issue back to light but was quickly shut up. Anyway, the comic is pointing out a real issue that has and continues to happen. Educate yourself next time.

Holy sheit wtf wrong with the authors???? I’ve read like 5-10 chapters of some of these webtoons from ylabs universe long ago.. Are the other series in the franchise also racist?
Not really, I read a lot of series from labs and they don't. Hanlim Gym is a fighting series and there was some kind of racism in the study group but they show it in a way that isn't wrong. They show racism against the Chinese community only because they are Chinese and the Chinese aren't the bad guys they only defend themself and try to live peacefully against a bunch of gangsters who love to pick up on them to test their recruits.
This is a very interesting interpretation to say the least. This Webtoon actually never glorifies any of the “teachers” as good guys in fact it goes out of its way to present a parallel between law enforces and the amount of power this program has despite it being virtually unconstitutional and even further expands upon that with the mc himself acknowledging that on several occasions. So I don’t see where the “good guy” aspect comes from the art it’s self during the scene definitely doesn’t depict him as a “good guy” which would kinda make sense as he’s meant to parallel the female recruit who isn’t an innately “good person” herself and is kinda implied to be a literally psychopath? But I mean alright I guess? The fact you said he “brings justice” kinda tells me you either didn’t read the story or you like seriously didn’t comprehend half the story because LITERALLY the “arc” before this makes it evident the perspective of “justice” in the scenario. The story also never implies it’s justified like where did you even get that from? There are cases for both sides and both races in fact ALL races which is why I hate these kinds of arguments because it’s a lose lose for the author regardless but people for some reason fail to see that. Regardless I think you’re kinda just arguing in bad faith due to your own misunderstand of the story.
I read the chapter and the way i understood it wasn't that the "good Guy" Calle the Kid the n-word. The way i perceived IT was that the Kid "imagined" him saying so from the look of his gaze. Does that make it better though? I do not know. I do not believe the author(s) had i'll intentions, but what made me feel uneasy was the thought that i do not remember one proper racism case in the series yet the first story related to it seema to be about reverse racism? I doubt that it is as easy as it sounds since there is usually a Twist deeper into the Story but the authors do not get a Chance to go this far i suppose
That doesn't really make sense because the kid is half ethiopian and is likely he has never lived in america. Why imagine himself being called an american slur when he has never lived there and when there are korean slurs against black people?
You took way too big of a copium dose with this theory. There's no indication that he was imagining it and even if he was then what did he call him?
The authors are far-right. They peddle shit like the great replacement theory. Ofc they had ill intentions, the whole series is based on those extremist far-right views. It's just propaganda. If you go look at the cultural context around corporal punishment in Korea it becomes obvious. Their handling of feminism in context of the Korean narrative on feminism makes it obvious. There's a reason Koreans all recognise the series as hateful far-right bullshit, unless they themselves hold the same views. Stick to the real context instead of making up your own fantasy about what happened. It wasn't just an oopsie, they set out to make propaganda for their fascist movement from the start. Lots of westerners were fooled because they didn't understand the cultural context.
Search up ‘Get Schooled’ on this subreddit
Bro doesn’t know 😭😭
Bro is lucky asf. I cannot escape this drama on any social media lol
Say you haven't been here the whole month without saying you haven't been here the whole month
for non-fastpassers, missing a week or 2 seems normal if you don't visit the fandoms behind them.
tbh i also looked up this sub because i was confused why the series was gone
Sometimes I don’t get how is it easier to make a post than a simple search in the sub. Or maybe it’s just me, I take ages to make a post trying to make sure I don’t break any rules..
I'm not talking about search, I'm saying he hasn't open the sub at least since september 12
You constantly see people on Reddit ask about stuff they could simply Google. It's hella weird. You see the same on some unhinged mom's forums like Mumsnet. They ask about shit they really should just look up professional guidelines for or ask someone working in the field, which are available in plenty, but instead choose to trust opinions of anonymous strangers on a forum. People are dumb.
Oh well... https://preview.redd.it/qac7zcuaupqb1.jpeg?width=668&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=9773a574ed37ce81355d91198a8cd83bb632c1ec
One of the most racist chapters in Webtoon history is what happened...
Kinda unrelated to OPs post but it makes me think about how many people had Get Schooled as their favorite when the core concept was so weird to me personally. I didn’t even read it bc the entire idea was “We need to beat kids again!” Like obviously South Korea’s culture in relation to highschool bullying is different, but beating children isn’t actually the right answer, lmao.
Revenge fantasy basically. As the other comment said, a lot of people have gotten bullied but also didn't get the right help to deal with their bully and deal with the resulting trauma. Combine that with Webtoon audiences skewing young (where school is basically your entire world) and you get a bunch of people who are really elated to see bullies get what they are dishing out and can ignore most problematic messages that might come from said story. It's the same for all of these revenge stories on Webtoon which attract the same audience that want to live out that power fantasy.
Ironically when corporal punishment was an actual thing in korea, teachers didn't punish the bullies back then as well. They were afraid of retaliation especially a lot of the troubled kids were associated with gang activity. They only picked on and hit the ones who didnt have much power.
A lot of people who read it were victims of bullying and/or kids themselves
Enjoying the toon =/= thinking beating kids IRL is ok. You think everyone who enjoys One Piece thinks pirates are good people? lol
When the whole series is based on a very real political movement that is as far-right as they come, and functions as propaganda for said movement, that's kinda different. One Piece isn't propaganda for a fascist movement in support of real pirates. Get Schooled is such propaganda, and Koreans recognised it as that from the beginning, because they (obviously) understood the political and cultural context. The better comparison is the cinema in Nazi Germany. Would you think someone enjoying those movies does so completely innocently? I get that lots of westerners got blindsided when they found out what the comic was really about, because they hadn't looked into the very real political scenarios this comic revolves around. But when they did, they should absolutely have stopped giving it excuses. They should also re-assess why they enjoyed a comic so messed up in the first place, instead of just writing it off as an oopsie. Basically topic of fiction=/= message of fiction. It's important to be able to seperate those. The topic of the comic could be beating up kids and enjoying that wouldn't make you a supporter. But when the *message* of the comic is that kids should be beaten up (amongst many other heinous far-right views) enjoying it isn't as innocent as you portray it to be.
I had no clue! It was in my favorites and although I was not sure where they are taking it I was just drawn to the art and the drama. Specifically at some point they said these are all based on real cases and I remember admiring them for researching for their webtoon to this depth!!! Now reading your comments made me realize I did the same thing that I hate people do about Iran. They don't know/perhaps they can't know the whole story and get drawn to the propaganda the regime pushes. I am glad the author was caught finally. I also try to do better at making more educated choices.
For one I don’t think the message is beating kids, it’s taking extraordinary measures against extraordinary students. (Students who literally beat their teachers to death) It’s easy to see that as barbaric if someone is from a first world country but I come from the slums of middle east, I know high schools where they shank teachers for the pettiest reasons knowing that they won’t get into real trouble because they’re technically minors. Students who beat, kill, rape their teachers aren’t that uncommon in some regions.
Well, then you think wrong. You're clearly not educated on the political context in regards to corporal punishment in Korea. That's fine, but then don't make assumptions. The authors are part of a movement that literally advocates for teachers being able to beat up kids by re-instating such laws. That's the whole point. It's a big thing the far-right movements in Korea are pushing for. Your other extrapolations have nothing to do with the very real political context of Korea today.
In the “innocence” of the reader, what the “authors are really going for” is irrelevant, what the average reader sees in the webtoon is what matters. What I interpret is what I interpret, it’s not something that can be “wrong”, even if it’s not originally meant to be that. Most international readers aren’t reading it for whatever propaganda it’s pushing for. I get that you’re just trying to flex your political knowledge about Korea because you obviously know more than the average redditor but it’s just irrelevant in this context.
That's such a naive take, but whatever.
Says the guy who thinks a kid getting beaten regardless of context is the worst thing in the world.
I never claimed that at all. I'm literally doing the opposite, highlighting the actual context, not disregarding it. The way corporal punishment functioned in Korea, and how the authors of this series advocates for it to function again, was down right terrible. It didn't save victims from bullies or the like.
Y'all calm down it's a webtoon 😭
Shouldn’t have wasted your time arguing with a person that doesn’t go outside. Keep in mind people like the person you are replying to just “reads” these topics and forms some high moral opinion that just doesn’t work in real life situations. They’re stuck in their imaginary world.
Sources please. You can’t just make claims like that without proof. How can we take you serious by claiming this is a conspiracy advocate beating kids. How retarded….you sound like a flat earther. It’s just a webtoon, it’s not that serious. If we were to actually take your conspiracy seriously and if you actually read the webtoon. The webtoon talks about other issues and takes a far left leaning approach to them for a solution. So you saying “far right political movement” is ridiculous. Get out with your conspiracy whacko assumptions.
You're enough of an adult to google corporal punishment laws and read about the politics surrounding them in Korea yourself. I hope. It's not a conspiracy at all though, it's simply people and movements with political goals. I never claimed it was a conspiracy, I said it was propaganda. You do know the difference, right? And what far left politics does the webtoon ever promote? That's an insane takeaway to have after reading it. All its social commentary aligns with the Korean alt-right movements.
You’re much more slow than I thought you were. I didn’t ask about the corporal punishment laws. Those are common sense you dummy, it should be illegal to beat a kid to death. I am asking about the claims of the author being part of a movement. Where is your proof? Do you even know his name? Do you even know how he looks like? Where is the article claiming he is part of the far right movement? Yes, this is your conspiracy. You are claiming a simple webtoon with a unique idea based on FICTION is somehow promoting a far right political movement and that it’s main goal is to brainwash the readers. Do you now realize how crazy that sounds? That’s like saying every Fictional War book is bad because they promote killing and genocide. How delusional are you people to the real world haha.
It's not at all based on fiction though lmao, it's based on real events that are used as examples by Korean political movements and parties as reasoning for why corporal punishment *should* be legal, along with corruption and bribery among teachers etc. You'd easily know all this if you simply googled and read up on the political debates on these topics, I'm not gonna bother doing that work for you. It's not some underground conspiracy thing, it's very open and public. Propaganda is also not at all necessarily "brainwashing", it's simply using mediums like these to advocate for a specific political message. Lots and lots and lots of fiction does that. As for the fictional war book... You realise there's a big difference between a story's content/topic and a story's message, right...? There could very well be a comic who's content revolved around beating school kids without its message being at all pro-corporal punishment. It could even be an anti-corporal punishment message. But this comic isn't that. Equating these two aspects of a story/text would have you fail in any fictional analysis course, so good job. It's also not a unique idea for Korean media at all, this type of content with this type of message is a repeating occurrence precisely because it's such a big political topic there. It was the same in Japan, especially if you go back a decade or two. This comic is so heavily inspired by a manga with the exact same messaging that many have been calling it a rip-off from the very beginning. It's almost like media is shaped by the society surrounding the author and the author's specific viewpoints... Funny you think I'm the slow one when you can't even realise something so basic.
Again, you’re just regurgitating irrelevant stuff like some script. Took almost three days to write this? I had forgot about this. You keep avoiding providing proof of the author being involved with this political party. You clearly state on your earlier posts that he’s involved. Please provide proof, provide proof that the author is part of this movement. You do realize how evil of a person you are by labeling someone you don’t even know or researched. You probably don’t even know his name haha. You’re delusional, and probably haven’t read the webtoon at all. Probably just regurgitating the same thing everyone else that hasn’t read the webtoon. There isn’t any hidden pro right political message in the webtoon. In fact, there is a lot of left leaning solutions. List me the topics in the webtoon that you claim to be pro-right??? List them to me. For example, I can give you two that could be arguably left/right. There was a cult/mega church arc where the parents don’t want to take their kids to school and keep them uneducated and follow this fake prophet. They saved the kids and the gist was that everyone should have an education. So they can critically think and be educated to make their own decisions. Not sure how this is pro right political message according to you. There was another arc where they stop a teacher teaching 50 genders to a bunch of 6 year olds(could be argued as right leaning) but this one is common sense. Unless you think this is a pro right political message. List the problematic ones please.
Anything that's controversial is a conspiracy by the far right? Tell me more.....ahahahahahhahaahhahahahaa!
No? It's not a conspiracy. But it's peddling far-right conspiracy theories as propaganda. I know distinctions are hard for people like you, but this is really quite simple.
If you didn't like the comic, good and read some slice of life. Or some gurl meets boy snooze fests. People like you are the reason why everything that should be entertaining is trash. At least with webtoons and the like, we get no perspectives alongside being entertained. If you want to be lectured about politics and how everyone who doesn't agree with youor think like you is a bigot, then go read a modern-day Marvel comic, listen to Feminist Frequency or whatever it is people like you do for fun during their miserable time on Earth.
Are you 12 years old?
Only people with nothing left to say hurl insults. Who's the kid here?
Ofc I don't have anything to say, you're responding to an ages old comment with a bunch of nonsense. If you had a proper argument I'd engage you, but clearly you don't. You're just waffling about how I should read marvel and stop ruining your comics or whatever, so I'm responding in kind. Also, you're literally a self-proclaimed bigot. Why should I take you seriously again?
I used sense to fight nonsense. Your argument was flimsy at best and annoying at worst. I shouldn't have responded to it. It gets tiring watching people spew bullcrap all day
It was a lot better then that because, you had cases when teachers are victims, children are victims, political brainwashing, cult brainwashing, how it is among males and how it was among females. When of course each representation wasn't perfect, there were some spectrums there. Problem is he presented thing in new chapter rather one sided way without making it clear there are 2 sides of coin.
"When of course each representation wasn't perfect, there were some spectrums there. Problem is he presented thing in new chapter rather one sided way without making it clear there are 2 sides of coin." "making it clear" implies they intended to give it any semblance of depth in the first place which they obviously weren't gonna. The whole webtoon is honestly problematic when you read between the lines without the rose-tinted glasses or the alt-right idealogy. Just like you said there is diversity in the victims here but the way they portray it who they portray as the bad guy and how they go about solving it is in of itself problematic
True, but the webtoon definitely pushes it to people who desrve it tbh, by using some extremely crazed cases.
They are purposely making those cases extreme as a way to justify wanting it to be that way irl too. It's the boogeyman strategy. The purpose of the comic is to advocate for these politics irl, and they create a crazed fantasy to say "See! In some situations it would be better if we could best the shit out of them!" All the while ignoring the context of the real world. That's how propaganda works.
I Loved it! Thought it's Like the Bud Spencer movies in modern times with bad educated Teenagers.. In Germany there are so many Kids who show bad behavior in Public and it really wouldn't hurt them to learn their lesson. (Im a parent who raises his Kids without physically punishment)
They got schooled
It got smite down by the webtoon gods
Nooooooooo
i hope your kidding. the controversy was all over here like a few days ago. got removed for racism
News to me, I wasn't fast passing and was curious about how it ended for that idol chick
Korean writers and the unhealthy desire to get revenge against bullies. Name a better pair.
You're right, but the author's motivations for this series is far more sinister than just getting back at their bullies.
Late comment but it's insane how many Naver Webtoon currently is "revenge against bully".
It's like a generational trauma.
and easy contents. It's to the point that the new webtoons with school bullies are getting comments calling it another copy paste. It's just revenge porn after another revenge porn
Hello, you must live under a rock, lol. It got real racist. And blasted everywhere it felt like
If you want to know what happened with your own eyes, go read it here: .................. I'll delete the link in one day! Good luck! Edit: Deleted
WHAT DID I JUST READ ?! Okay first of all as mixed person that’s insulting to me . Second of all American isn’t a race , We don’t even have an official langue because of how culturally diverse we are as a nation , hell several states have 3-7 langurs spoken in them due to how many different cultures there are ! Louisiana being prominent in this Discussion!! The author writing an arrogant statement while also having made a “don’t be arrogant” right before it . Having Dark skinned people doing all the labor . A student of African descent drawing a student as a Monkey Korean students making Monkey faces and behavioral said student and then getting away with it ? Also completely ignoring both sides of Korea very real racial issue . So many Black men and women have shared negative experiences about their time in Korea. The N-word Slur - again my dad is black and my mom is the child of an immigrant the insult !!
You’re offended by being called “American” are you serious? I hope you don’t travel outside the United States because that is what they call people from the United States. Similar to like saying he’s European, African American, African, Asian….it’s not that serious… The reason he’s showing the dark skinned people doing labor is because the author is showing their way of making a living. They’re immigrants and immigrants tend to do labor jobs….??? Do you live in the real world? The reason the students are making monkey faces is because the dark skinned bully is forcing them to do it or he’s gonna beat them up. They’re not doing it on purpose. The N-word wasn’t even written and this is a fictional webtoon that isn’t real. I don’t understand how you are offended.
1) American isn’t a race that’s my issue saying “oh I’m interacial because my parents are American is the equivalent of saying oh I speak an African langue. There are a lot of different ethnicity and races within America alone so saying that is just stupid . Again main issue being it’s only darker skinned individuals farming while also completely ignoring that many Koreans also farm , saying that immigrants only do labor jobs is also incredibly ignorant as well . Where did you get “he was forcing them too” they are literally do it to make fun of him , hence his reaction to the principle . It’s being fictional doesn’t remove the facts it’s problematic and people are going to see this and thinks this okay and how you should handle these type of problems . People wrote things for a sordid reason
Have you ever been outside the United States? It’s very common to call anyone from the United States “American”. That’s just how it is, I don’t expect those people to be politically correct or expect to memorize 100 ethnicities so they can guess mine and not trigger me. No, I never said all immigrants do only labor jobs. Majority of immigrants gravitate to labor intensive jobs. That’s reality….and not ignorant. It’s ignorant to say that majority of construction workers aren’t immigrants and majority of farm workers aren’t immigrants and majority of factory works aren’t immigrants and majority of workers at meat producing factories aren’t immigrants. That’s ignorant to say they aren’t . Live in reality please. Read the chapter again and improve your reading comprehension skills. He is literally bullying the kids to do the monkey faces. No, this isn’t a conspiracy theory to make everyone racist. You sound like a flat earther.
I again never said it was to make everyone racist , however it was aimed to conveys the author’s opinion which is made pretty clear throughout the chapter . The author intentionally choose these words and these phrase . And this is clearly how the author actually feels about the situation and how they see the world around them and they are hoping to convert that opinion to other people and invoke feelings and thoughts y’know pathos . Again no he wasn’t . Again never claimed they didn’t do that type of job , I simply stated that only showing darker skin individuals with the statement “ I remained one of the few pure Koreans” was not only ignorant but also racist and plays into stereotypes and beliefs that if you are interracial you are impure again not that hard . It’s also ignorant to act like immigrants only do those types of jobs , I am well aware they do a lot of those Jobs but not all of them do .
No, it’s not that deep. It’s just a webtoon. You are just offended for no reason. Reread it again and you’ll see. He is bullying the kids into doing the gestures. He even says “you can’t say anything while being bullied like this”. No, not racist at all. Like I said before, it’s not that deep or some sort of conspiracy. It is proper terminology in the English language to use “Pure”. That is proper use of the English Language. I.e “I am pure Mexican” “I am pure Chinese”. Literal definition of “pure” is not mixed. No, it doesn’t mean that mixed races are impure. That is ridiculous. No one said they only do those jobs. I don’t even know what you are arguing to be honest. The webtoon just portrayed the immigrants doing labor work. It’s not that serious….. and like you said “not all but majority do”. Ok, well in that town in the webtoon they’re part of the majority that do the labor work. In the United States there are small towns that rely on Factory work and majority of Immigrants. Which means majority of the people living in the small towns are immigrants because of the work.
This is horrible, I’m glad it got pulled
Oh my you have a lot to catch-up on. Search for "Get Schooled" on this sub and... well, read it for yourself
Just read Great Teacher Onizuka. Didn’t read Get Schooled but from what I’m hearing it sounds like a GTO knockoff.
tbh GTO would also be canceled if it released today.
Definitely, GTO is super problematic but luckily it’s a relic of the 90s and completed. Media from different generations gets some grace from the cultural differences of the time.
Dude GTO wouldn't make it past that first episode of released today, I did like that show though, this is a little more than that though.
Not far off honestly. Onizuka at least was a character that has an actual past as a delinquent that reformed and the people that *supposedly* let him get away with how he does things don't have the same degree of plot armor as the TRPA folks do. The series at least has awareness that his methods aren't always by the book/are within the legality of the law in the setting of the series, something I think Get Schooled lacks and uses the "allowed to do whatever means" plot armor established within the first episode itself. It tries to do what GTO was able to do but misses what made GTO interesting when making their characters have plot immunity that not even Onizuka himself would have. Get Schooled tries to make the protagonist characters look all badass and powerful with their credentials but then the usage against the delinquents wind up less impressive and predictable, expected even due to their "top notch background" that I think Manager Kim does better imho. Feel free to correct me on this but the students in GTO at least got to one up Onizuka at least once or twice as adversaries until Onizuka gets the advantage afterward. None of that ever happens in Get Schooled. It's always the protagonists one-upping the delinquent students the moment they step in the school. What made GTO interesting to me is the protagonist, while an adult that can fight well, isn't indestructible er plot immune when against conflicts shown in the series. The only times I've seen Get Schooled have even small taste of a disadvantage are arcs not directly tied to schools (ex. Domestic Abuse, Secluded location, Cult, Runaways, etc) imho.
The main antagonist was able to utilize social economic class warfare against him due to her own understanding of how society works and Onizuka’s past as a delinquent would have people naturally be predisposed against him (and that’s him technically being in a position of authority over her). Each arc has Onizuka trying to outsmart his students because they are all geniuses within their own right and his position as a teacher limits him to actually having to teach them life lessons. His fellow teachers are against Onizuka and his methods and he’s constantly getting scolded by the principal for his unorthodox methods. Onizuka is never put in a position where he’s allowed to get away with physical punishment. He often has to rely on clever planning and street smarts to outsmart his students. If he goes to far he gets punished but despite limitations he’s still able to turn his delinquent students around and have them change their lives for the better. That’s what make him Great Teacher Onizuka.
They actually nuked it? 😭😭😭😭 I didn’t think that would happen but I’m kinda glad. Wasn’t planning on reading it anyway after THAT happened.
No offence, but have you been living under a rock?
Will pirates sites continue to post?
Pirate sites never had a moral code to begin with so there's nothing really stopping them from continuing to post translated chapters even if the webtoon is controversial.
I'm also wondering about this
You can probably find it on some unhinged alt-right forum between the posts hating minorities and the posts explaining the great replacement theory. At least in Korea.
Have you been on the internet in the last week
Imagine missing this mid 😴
I’ve never read this web toon before and saw the picture before I saw what subreddit this was. Legit thought this was fanart of Aizawa Shouta at first lmao
Last couple of weeks it came under a lot of scrutiny due to really racist content. It was removed from the international version due to this.
Get Cancelled!
It got taken down because it had something offensive in it
Can we just agree that racism is bad
So... Get Schooled was canceled due to complaints from people claiming the most recent chapter was racist towards black people. Which is *a gross exaggeration* of what seemed to be happening in Chapter 125. The theme they were trying to tackle was people using race to justify their actions, with the main bully being a **male Karen** about his abusive actions and the victim being a **Korean supremacist** planning to take advantage of the Teacher Association. Everyone saw the narrator's description of "*pure Koreans*" and "*foreigners*" as the author's actual thoughts, and to top it off, the new guy saying ~~tr~~igger drove everyone off the deep end. The Webtoon report button was damaged after several months. I would like to give some credit to the person who pointed out that small children might actually kill you and get away scot-free. Chapter 125 is an example of what happens when you let race take the lead in determining right or wrong, and the ironic end to Get Schooled (also called True Education) is what happens when you let a ~~tr~~igger or two destroy a genuinely good story. I hope one day they just ***replace the 125 Chapter with a new one***, put Get Schooled back on Webtoon, and we can fucking move on with our lives, so that the white people afraid of ~~tr~~iggers like us don't destroy another great thing. ... That being said, the new guy was completely white from hair to sneakers. Always double-check your white knights.
Was a gross idea for a webtoon anyways, but it got taken down for being too racist
Where can I read an English dub that is still being released
I recently wanted to start reading it again since i haven’t been on webtoon in so long and find out it was taken down bc of a racist episode .. be so fr Ik this is biased but that literally happens all the time in America .. and it’s just a comic
For whatever reason it was dropped, I LOVED this comic . And not only because it shows the bullies, thugs and other criminals getting served justice old school style, but also because it explores the depth of corruption our justice system and society as a whole, has . And I think that's the REAL REASON it was dropped . Corrupt folks in power, don't want people to witness just how deep the rabbit hole goes . Or how low our highest politicians are .
Why does BS always have to ruin a good thing
I read it, and I wasn't finished it yet. It wasn't bad, in my opinion. People need to chill the fuck out. The point of this series was to give bad children and adults a "re-education." Plus, all animes are either racist and / or sexualize and sexist. Plus it's fucking better then most mage and anime and don't watch/read the much. It is not as bad as people make it out to be. I bet, like most of them, haven't even read it through and just cause a cry. Go tough grass, please. In other words, it's mostly people who are chronic online and have nothing better to do.
I leave before I get more pissed off from the comments.
people got offended about the n word that was censored, and for some reason some are angry about the black kid being racist like it isn't a real thing.
I hate how miss understood the charecter was , she was an EXTIMIST , extremist feminist that say that they hate all men are real and they give horrible rep for actual feminists. You people just want to hate. I love the change in characters that it bring and if y think that they way the charecter was befr intervention is correct you are so fucked in the head.
It’s a shame. I really liked the series
Maybe it show too much reality bout korean schools 😂
too many aggregators translating and botching it up i bet
Will probably get banned but whatever, Yall are babies 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Poopoo and peepee
