Some clarification on the title, which was simplified for length's sake:
He was *sentenced* to 18 months, but I believe served only 6 months before release. Also note that technically the operator was sentenced an additional 24 months on top of the initial 18. But it sounds like that was more for financial crimes of hiding the website profits, rather than the CSAM itself.

South Korea has a really, really dark societal underbelly. The weird thing is you see people buy into the propaganda that is the entertainment they export.
Tangentially, there are some literally very dumb, very naive young girls who want to move to South Korea because their only impression of the country is K-Dramas where the men are suave, heroic people. It’s absolutely insane.

The first response on the topic[1] (which thankfully has been downvoted to hell) was such a wishy-washy apologetics response that I absolutely approve of this real answer being posted to r/bestof. 'Sexploitation groups will never go away, this is a non-story, hating feminism just means disagreeing with some views, stop picking on South Korea.'
Ugh. Freaking right-wing incels. Aren't unique to the West, but damn are they infuriating. Seriously, fuck the people who pretend this is just normal behavior and not worth posting about.

This must be an absolute dystopian nightmare for South Korean women. Holy shit... That comment almost reads as frighteningly as the Handmaid's Tale does.
It puts the whole Burning Sun crime scandal in a whole new light... 😨

Depressing af, no surprises how much backlash a lot of the South Korean womens movements have received in recent years.

That was chilling.
