Dating in South Korea is rough in general, more than other Asian countries. Apparently it's devolved into a violent culture war. On one hand, it's no wonder women are unwilling to date. On the other hand, that's going to further fuel desperation and therefore extremist sentiment in men and further the downward spiral of the culture war.
I'm not saying that the male position is right here, but I genuinely do not see a possibility that the culture war stops spiraling
Women lose the ability to have a career as soon as there's a hint of a boyfriend. Employers check. They're expected to become mothers, and dedicate their life to taking care of their children, husband and household, while not really having any say in it.
I mean i agree that this culture war is not gonna stop anytime soon, but please dont blame the victims, its not their fault that this is spiraling out of control, nobody own incels a date. Its not the current protest that are adding fuel to the fire, its the incapability of theses men to accept no for an answer.
Tinder was advertised by that idol involved with the Burning Sun incident. I wouldn't want to be on that app either.
"Where should I fine my partner. I know! The app that was supported by the guy whose club was pretty much just a r*pe den. I'm sure I'll find the man of my dreams."
What they have is a serious misogyny problem and a fairly strong lysistratite movement. It’s called 4B and while I have issues with aspects of it I’m generally sympathetic to the organized denial of reproductive labor until conditions improve.
A lot of profiles will say things like "only looking for friends" and such, but that's more about image than reality in case someone else sees it (though, yes, everyone knows what is actually going on). There are people who do use it for friends, but it is (or at least was until I got married a few years ago) still used for its, er, intended purpose.
