“his eyes are like angel, but his heart is cold”
Absolutely no one is ready for this conversation but tbh I think the reason people (particularly film bros on YouTube) devalue Gihun’s character and call him stupid etc is bc he has emotional intelligence and internal strength and those are stereotypically feminine attributes
Said film bros will often go to bat for Sangwoo and say he ‘did nothing wrong’ and was the most ‘realistic’ character and that speaks volumes to me lol. To ppl and society in general emotional intelligence + kindness = feminine = weak, while harsh logic + physical strength = masculine = strong. So naturally that bleeds into our media analysis as well.
This attitude is everywhere but it strikes me as particularly funny wrt Squid Game S1 bc Gihun FUCKING WINS. Sangwoo LOSES. Gihun wins almost every game simply by being a good fucking person lol (I just reblogged a post discussing that not too long ago) and these same idiots just say it’s ‘plot armor’ LIKE DO U MEDIA LITERACY AT ALL. Not only that but Gihun wins against Ilnam too at the end like the series goes out of its way to show us that Sangwoo’s approach was WRONG. Also the series is not over yet u guys s2 was only half a season so we have no idea if Gihun’s rebellion will be ultimately futile or if it’ll end up actually changing things in the end.
Also P.S. Gihun is a regular fucking jackoff. He is not a superhero or a warrior or a fighter in any capacity whatsoever he is a regular jackoff who has spent over half of his entire projected lifespan being a regular jackoff. He doesn’t have any special training, at least not when it comes to armed combat or espionage. I’m gonna need ppl to give him a break and instead give him his goddamn flowers for having the ovaries of fucking steel required to launch a full scale rebellion while being a regular fucking jackoff.
TL;DR at this point whenever I see ‘lol Gihun dumb’ posts it’s actually just ‘tell me you completely missed the point of Squid Game without telling me you completely missed the point of Squid Game’
I have something very inappropriate to say about this man.

To this day people will cry over the knowledge and works destroyed when the library of Alexandria was burned down.
And yet no tears are shed as Palestinian archives and libraries are bombed.
Saint Porphyrius Church, built in 1150 and the 3rd oldest church in the world has been bombed.
It's not an accident.
Israel aren't simply killing Palestinians, they are trying to erase that there ever were Palestinians in the first place.
Destroying their livelihoods, trying to to destroy their culture and history and pretend this land was never there's.
It's easy to deny someone's existence when there's no record of them.
Which is why it's so important to look at the atrocities and bear witness to what's happening.
But to also recognise that Palestine is more than it's suffering.
There is a living breathing culture, of art, history, literacy which all come from the Palestinians.
Traditions they've carried for centuries.
So while we mourn the dead, we shall fight for the living. Fight for the preservation of their crafts, amplify their voices as they speak on their culture.
Palestinian history and culture is alive. And no matter how much the world wants to erase that, they cannot and will not.
