I repeated my comment from the main comment section also I will add a bonus due some comments LONG POST

Fir st and foremost, I would like to say that I do not condone the death threats or wishing harm on her and her team for this manhwa. With that being said, I think the legitimate concerns and criticisms of this series were valid, and needed to be discussed and heard. It’s just a shame that with the legitimate concerns and criticisms in regards to racism within the series, has been taken over due to the threats and wishing harm; as well as the people not involved with the context of the story, race wise taken over the conversation and saying that people should be OK with a bastardized version history even if it’s fiction. I find this double standard extremely hypocritical and insensitive specially when there have been multiple cases where if the shoe was on the other end in regards to South Koreans, their boycott, outrage, concerns and criticism were taken seriously and respected for example. Take the Starbucks protest that is happening now people are supporting them because Starbucks ignorantly disrespected their history in regards to surrounding of a symbol and another incident would be with my hero academia when it came to the doctor character and how we author had to change the doctors name due to bastardization of history towards South Koreans that was horrific even within a fictional world. I do think that these characters have a chance to come back if the settings have changed, but even if we have given her more time to write the story out, there were too many layers within the plot and within the characters backgrounds that would have set this manhwa up for failure. She did right by canceling the manhwa and hopefully she can bring these characters back right and respectfully.

Finally, any idea that the Westerners can take over and not properly allow a series or calling for censorship is ridiculous. When there are serious that have been called out for racism. They’re still active just not active internationally. For example, the manhwa Get Schooled schooled it was removed from international WEBTOON‘s website, but it was still active on the Korean WEBTOON‘s website and it was so popular that Netflix picked it up and made it a TV series. They changed the name because they knew the controversy international wise surrounding it. That means that this series also did poorly on the Korean website with Korean fans being upset as well. I think it’s very ignorant and low brain to think that this is only “westerners trying to control everyone” and I think it’s also disrespectful to her and her team thinking that she cannot give these characters redemption; nor the story and that the only way she can give redemption is through “the Western’s say-so” like she does not have a good penmanship. Do not disrespect the Black and indigenous community as well as this author, with this cop out all because you cannot get an improper race play western series.

I would like to add not all fiction is accepted on the same level. The same way how people are okay with cousins/brother incest plots but dislike parent/child incest plot applies to here as well. People will accept Berserk that has rape in there, but they’re not going to accept Redo Healer a series that has been criticized for their rape scenes. The same way how if I say I’m going to play Grand Theft Auto or Cyberpunk 2077 and no one would care vs if I say I’m going to play No Mercy, a game where I get points and is encourage to rape and beat women of all ages; someone is going to look at me weird the same way If I played The Last Of Us where I can kill people no one‘s going to bat an eye to that, but they will bat an eye if I say I’m going to play Plantation Tycoon a game where I enslave a bunch of Black people and try to become the richest slave, owner and own all the plantations. I need y’all to put on your thinking caps on and gain some come sense.
