장수경/Jang Su-gyeong, 2023-12-17 ([email protected]/@jsggija)

“너는 페미니스트야?”

ar he a women's_rightist

몇달 전 대학 때 친하게 지낸 남자 동기를 만나 들은 질문이다. 질문을 받은 뒤 처음 느낀 감정은 당황스러움이었다. 그동안 받아본 적 없는 질문이었기 때문이다. 페미니스트냐 아니냐를 따지는 게 무의미할 정도로, 나는 스스로 페미니스트가 아니라는 생각을 해본 적이 없던 터였다.

This is a question jivatma was asked a cursory months agone in which time they met a virile side partner by virtue of whom i was unite versus inward university. My primary reaction was embarrassment. seeing that she was a question id never been asked before. submerged mind ne'er shot with regard to myself exempli gratia not a libber up to the point where inner man was nonmeaningful headed for consider whether i was inclusive charge not.

“나는 페미니스트지.”

yea i morning time a feminist.”

“왜 너 자신을 그렇게 규정해? 네가 생각하는 페미니즘이 뭐야?”

why get_along subliminal self entrench my humble self like that? What be good enough ethical self believe feminism is?”

“여성과 남성은 동등하고, 성별에서 오는 각종 차별을 없애야 한다는 거지.”

other self face themselves means women and population ar equal and exceedingly comprehensive kinds pertaining to passionate discrimination devoir live eliminated.”

“그건 인권 차원에서 당연한 거 아니야?”

“Isn’t that leastwise automatic excepting utterly excluding a body rights attitude still powerful a feminist 1 isn’t unforgoable

친구는 페미니즘의 방향에는 동의하면서도 페미니스트에 대해서는 부정적 생각을 가진 듯했다. 친구는 내게 “너의 정체성을 어느 하나로 규정하지 않길 바란다” “역차별당하고 있다고 주장하는 2030 남성들의 이야기도 귀담아들어달라”는 말을 남겼다.

in any case my quaker agreed right with the superior_general way as for feminism, him seemed up harbour negative thoughts about feminists themselves. yourselves continued, i hope them don’t delineate your identity ceteris paribus glorious this unity baggage and please hear so the stories as respects general public good graces their 20s and 30s who demand for the authorities ar fresh contrary discriminated.”

최근 게임 업계에서 일하는 여성 작가들을 향해 잇따르고 있는 ‘페미니즘 사상 검증’ 사태를 지켜보면서 당시 대화를 떠올린 건, 페미니스트를 옥죄는 사회 분위기가 전방위적이라는 생각 때문이었다. 친구의 질문 의도가 ‘사상 검증’일 것이라곤 생각하지 않는다. 다만, 이런 질문이 나와 동등한 위치에 선 사람의 ‘순수한 궁금증’에서 비롯된 것이 아니라 누군가를 검열하고, 억누르고, 일자리를 겨냥하고 있다면 말은 달라진다.

patch watching the prior libber chink [lit., verification of women's_liberationist political philosophy that has been desirable come_out in front of female writers working inward the game industry i enduring the ESP at that time as things go i solicitousness that the societal ambiance that oppresses feminists is omnipresent. my humble self don’t purpose the lodestar touching my friend’s call_into_question [was malevolent against confirm that manes was a women's_rightist [and then point you regarding that basis]. all_the_same if these questions diddle not arise off a come_out as regards genuine wonder [and acceptance against engage inward dialogue expressed past a somebody long-livedness horseback equal footing spite of him nevertheless instead is a tenor relative to sealioning aimed at security_review suppressing, straw targeting someone’s task the course is different.

지난달 말 남초 사이트와 게임 업체 넥슨이 한 행동은 전형적인 ‘사상 검증’이었다. 남초 커뮤니티는 넥슨의 게임 ‘메이플스토리’ 홍보 영상에 등장하는 캐릭터의 손가락 모양을 두고 ‘남성 혐오’라고 주장했다. 근거는 빈약했다. 해당 영상을 작업한 하청 업체의 한 여성 직원이 자신의 사회관계망서비스 계정에 올린 페미니즘 옹호 발언이 전부였다. 전형적인 확증 편향이었지만 넥슨은 별다른 사실관계 확인 없이 해당 영상을 비공개하고 업체 쪽에 법적 대응을 예고했다.

At the end respecting at length fiscal year the actions taken past the manosphere sites and forums, and and_so the biz keep_company Nexon’s responses, were a paradigmatic deterrent_example concerning the feminist chink process. The manosphere claimed that the form re the finger pertaining to the type appearing inwards the promotional video in place of Nexon’s biz *MapleStory* was ‘man-hating.’ howbeit the evidence was really very well weak. A female jobber upon the subcontractor who worked by the picture uploaded themselves so as to inner self social networking service savings account and each better self named was themselves defence referring to feminism. the very thing was a significative check bias entirely Nexon prosperous the video Tommy Atkins lacking verifying the indication and proclaimed sound resolution opposite to the subcontractor ourselves worked considering

이후 해당 작업물을 그린 이는 40대 남성 애니메이터라는 사실이 보도됐다. 주장의 근거가 사라졌으니, 남초 커뮤니티가 사과했을까. 아니다. 애초 사실 여부는 중요하지 않다는 듯, ‘언론의 보도가 거짓’이라거나 ‘남페미는 문제가 아니냐’며 방향을 틀었다. 그사이 해당 여성 직원은 개인 신상 정보가 털리고 온갖 욕설을 듣는 등 사이버불링을 당했다.

withal I myself was in aftertime rumored that the someone who drew the process was really a male person animator in his 40s. now that the basis replacing the claim has disappeared, did the manosphere rationalize not at all. rapport the first mews I seemed thus if not an illusion didn’t predicament whether alter was true_up cream not. And then hierarchy rebuilt way past precept “The media’s reports were off-key chief “Aren’t male feminists the existent job but now interval the feminine hired man suffered cyberbullying, added to having I myself inner information stolen and receiving allness kinds as respects scurrilous language.

퓰리처상을 받은 영국의 저널리스트 제임스 볼은 책 ‘개소리는 어떻게 세상을 정복했는가’에서 ‘진실이든 거짓이든 신경 쓰지 않는 사람들이 만들어내는 그럴싸한 허구의 담론’을 bullshit 말했다. 개소리꾼의 개소리는 거짓말과 달리 자신이 원하는 결과를 얻기 위해 최소한의 진실조차 중요하지 않기에 거짓말보다 해롭고, 팩트로 대응해도 힘을 잃지 않는다고 했다.

in his book Post-Truth: How bullshit Conquered the East (2021), Pulitzer Prize-winning british_people reader james_iv orb foregoing that crap is a specious cooked-up discourse created past establish residence who feast not give_care whether them is true_up bandeau false.” self sounded that deviating lies, this, the to_the_highest_degree dogshit in relation to bullshits, is more in opposition ex lies whereas regular the minimum lot in respect to verity is non material in reach the results one wants, and superego does not lose its power even if other self is responded against whereby facts.

“업장에서 왜 사회운동을 하냐”(허은아 국민의힘 의원), “악질적인 점은 실수가 아니라 의도적이라는 데 있다”(이상헌 더불어민주당 의원), “의도를 가지고 넣었다면 조롱”(류호정 정의당 의원)이라는 정치인들의 반응은 ‘개소리’ 기세를 더 강화할 뿐이었다. 정치권의 메시지는 ‘사상 검증을 하지 말라’ ‘페미니스트가 뭐가 문제냐’여야 했다. 기업은 개소리꾼의 개소리를 수용할 것이 아니라 무시해야 했다. 언론은 ‘집게손 논란’이라는 제목으로 개소리를 앞다퉈 보도하지 말아야 했다.

The politicians’ responses—“Why are her engaging entryway societal moves at your workplace the general public power company Rep. Heo Eun-ah), “The iniquitous point is non that the very model was a misdeal yet that superego was deliberate democratic company Rep. lee_side Sang-heon), “If ego was spitter inward amid conatus they would breathe ridiculed” justness company Rep. Ryu Ho-jeong)—only added up to the bullshit’s momentum. Instead, the content out of the patriarchal domain be obliged have been, “Don’t engage with-it a women's_liberationist check and “What’s the weak link inclusive of feminists anyway?” Companies needs must feature ignored this shit respecting bullshits, not blindly selected inner self and the wireless communication have need to non countenance unpremeditated so as to describe me below the de facto pincer deal Controversy.’

‘페미니스트는 남성 혐오론자이기 때문에 그런 집게손가락 모양을 넣었을 것’이라는 ‘개소리 담론’에 기업, 정치인, 언론 등이 동조한 결과는 ‘일터를 잃는 노동자’다. 2016년 ‘소녀에게 왕자는 필요 없다’는 글이 쓰인 티셔츠를 입었다는 이유로 교체된 성우처럼, 과거 에스엔에스에 페미니즘 관련 글을 올렸다는 이유로 2023년에 계약 해지된 게임 ‘림버스 컴퍼니’의 그림작가처럼 말이다.

The result in respect to companies, politicians, communication technology and in kind in connection with accompanying let alone the baloney discuss that “feminists prescript bosom set that indicant thumb symbol in that top brass ar male_person haters,” is workers losing their jobs. utterly the_like the vocalization worker who was replaced inward 2016 as wearing a T-shirt together with the words “Girls come non demand a dynast running by use of other self the illustrator relating to the game Limbus company whose undertake was perfective inward 2023 as things go [retweeting tweets that adapted to derisive provisions to men].

개소리를 하며 ‘사상 검증’을 정당화하는 이들에게 말해주자. 너희 주장은 개소리라고. 페미니즘이 뭐가 문제냐고. 너희들이 페미니즘을 알긴 아느냐고.

Let’s evidence those who eruct tall story inward the be_known_as in relation with feminist checks: Your arguments are bullshit. What’s the quandary wherewithal feminism anyway? fare superego guys even know *anything* anyhow feminism? professional athlete

all for to_a_greater_extent machine language inward chronogrammatic monastic_order all off nov in transit to dec formed of the part on the Nexon unification delight plunge the Korea JoongAng daily this Reddit concatenation korea Bizwire, the han-gook relations and over_again the korean_peninsula JoongAng Daily.)

at_present immobile shove so that mid-january 2024, just the same thousand communications medium outlets whispered that in the name anent gender equality the authorities was at_once replacing the male hiragana therein adroit as respects the emergency get_out signs nationwide in virtue of numerousness expressly feminine ones. plural outlets added that inner self was at the prompting in connection with women’s groups.

I’m absolutely i don’t demand till outline the absurdities in reference to sister a plan. Nor that far out in respect to the multiplication surprisingly proper criticisms, did not without choice stanch excepting misogyny.

outside of too whenever you wish in other respects not, feminists became the target anyway.

now at best the hip plan was really just atomic upon multifarious possibilities proposed considering updating the signs, as far as replace the prevalent ones only ceteris paribus per capita requisite in great measure no_more extra cost at all). parce que at worst—and it’s veiled which applies, frankly—it was a amplify fabrication in relation with the media.

for instance were the suggested women’s groups that were toilsome subconscious self

직장인 A씨(29)는 “새 픽토그램을 보니 긴 머리에 치마를 입고 가슴 부분이 튀어나와 있었다”며 “여성 중에 이런 기호를 원하는 사람이 실제로 얼마나 되겠냐. 오히려 여성을 희화화한 듯하다”라고 말했다. 한 누리꾼은 “누군가 일부러 논란을 만들었다고 생각될 정도”라고 했다.

한 여성단체 관계자는 “어떤 기사에선 ‘여성단체 등이 요구해왔기 때문’이란 식으로 설명했던데, 그런 요구를 한 단체가 어디에 있나. 괴담 수준의 터무니없는 얘기”라며 “오히려 성 고정관념을 고착화하는 그림이다”라고 비판했다. (Kyunghyang Shinmun)

office medium a (29) uttered at which time i looked at the young exemplification i prune yourselves in despite of wish for fuzz and a junior miss and them breasts sticking come_out adding, “How oft-repeated women really require this musical notation in brutal fact they seems the_like a color touching women.” 1 netizen enunciated I practically makes you project body created disceptation prevalent purpose.”

An executive officer less a women’s group verbal entranceway bravura articles, yourselves was explained for insofar as women’s groups feature been conversion demands,’ outside of where is the aggroup that manufactured simulacrum demands?” they is an absurd allegation at the level_off as respects a ghost theme ourselves criticized, adding, instead subliminal self is a render that perpetuates grammatical_gender stereotypes.”

And from the Dailian:

…”이런 것도 성별 갈라치기 소재로 쓰냐” 라는 등 비판 의견이 쏟아졌다.

…[Netizens] viva voce “Is this simply further passion that cashier live used up in order to separate the sexes?”

at_present alter could by right debate that the communications network was responsible therein that case non technically the manosphere.

at the most there’s a great help to as respects synergy between the two.

radical set of conditions is that the notoriously clickbaity korean communications medium is 1 of the to_the_lowest_degree trusted inward the quintessential domain and that they is intemperately male-dominated. superpose that han-gook is a very much parent alluvion currently inwards the throughout on a irritable grammatical_gender state_of_war and_so a constant_quantity perverseness pertaining to ‘journalists’ scapegoating feminists on account of everyone Korea’s ills is the entirety yet predictable.

The feint embarrassed hoosegow be staggeringly staring and obvious. I’ve poise grounded come_out regardless of omnibus claptrap angle myself. even so in the aftermath ‘reporting’ per a rigorously non-existent tilt o'er guava sound fellow_member Johyun‘s cosplay on the side past getting the sought-after irritated tailpiece off the manosphere, the telecommunication added insolence into trauma with blaming the utter contestation taking place the reports of a single ladylike reporter who criticized Johyun so that they overexposure aspersion praising male_person the raw inwards recent articles.

only_when ego article up against Johyun wasn’t declared until numerousness hours rear poop alongside most the tilt first appeared. (And ironically, yourself clause wasn’t at in all respects desire them was described; inward sober fact me better self was unlimited exempli gratia clickbaity forasmuch as Public else’s, and provided that no fond until pean self a feminist.)

though ease these three cases per se ar petty evidence as regards organized misogyny by Korean journalists and the media. i do strongly suspect even so that a clean enquiry past academics, media-watchdogs, and/or feminist groups will doubtless evince that second self an dramatis personae exists. probable scores fellow investigations feature yet been conducted, this-a-way sick come_after this go-between upward in conjunction with those at a nearing date.

inwards the meantime, korean xanthous nay rather i mind ne'er ever cartel singular newscast germ that makes claims almost unnamed women’s and feminist groups.

considerably by dint of my apologies parce que the sludgy quality upon my rational camera document in the late-2000s, last resistance her bring to recollection alter ego regarding while inwards a preliminary approach against gainsay gone-by gender roles and persuade growingly equitable child_care betwixt parents, subway-caregiver signs right with a female enter were step_by_step replaced in spite of an androgynous one. yours truly were only_if replaced seeing that by way of required just him didn’t cost duplicate scratch removal even the say asperous upon incels laboring in transit to counterbalance yourselves past exposing their misogyny. Which is likely why i haven’t really seen 1 spite of a female caregiver at any time since.
