Episode 624 freedom of expression (4)

Melden Law. Born into a white middle-class family, he was an ordinary boy as a child.

He thought he would go to school normally, get a normal job, get married normally, and have children just like his parents did.

However, he did not get into the university he wanted and failed to find a job.

It was the same with dating.

As the failures continued, he became more and more confined to the house.

Looking at the people around him who were well-employed, married, and living well, he felt extreme loneliness and alienation.

I posted these concerns on the Internet, but all I got back was ridicule and criticism.

The feeling of helplessness gradually turned into anger.

‘I lived hard. But why on earth do we have to go through this? ‘Did I really do something wrong?’

Meanwhile, he learned of the existence of neo-Nazis in a community, and increasingly sympathized with their claims.

Why can’t I succeed?

Why can’t I date?

Why is my life so difficult?

There was only one reason.

‘okay! The reason my life is ruined is because of people of color! The world is a playing field tilted towards white people! That was the problem! Since when did there become more people of other races than white people in this country? America is going in the wrong direction! ‘I must protect my country!’

Melden Law freely poured out hatred and ridicule toward people of color and other countries.

As his claims and expressions became increasingly extreme, his posts were deleted and he was blocked from several communities.

Accordingly, Melden Law decided to create his own site where people with similar thoughts as himself gathered.

This was the birth of the Mad Men site.

Melden Law posted numerous articles on Mad Men under the nickname ‘Angry Law’.

American society suffered from various problems such as immigration, unemployment, and polarization, and there were many people who were dissatisfied with them.

They readily agreed with Melden Law’s argument and spoke with one voice.

Since Mad Men was originally created for hate, there was no censorship. Here, everyone was free to pour out their hate.

-This is all because of people of color. If it weren’t for them, we would have easily found a job and gotten married.

-that’s right. We need to close the borders and kick out all the immigrants.

-Now white people are actually being discriminated against!

-I liked the times when black people were slaves~

-Why on earth are people of color crawling like cockroaches into a white country?

-All immigrants, whether illegal or legal, must be kicked out!

-In the United States, languages ​​other than English should not be used!

-What are you going to do about the playground being tilted towards white people???

As Mad Men’s influence grew, some politicians took their side to gain votes.

Melden Law felt uplifted.

‘I’m changing the world! After all, I wasn’t wrong!’

Although criticism poured in for this, he considered himself a warrior fighting against discrimination and hatred against white people.

Mad Men members made a fuss by spreading posts to other communities and inserting hooked finger shapes into posters, images, and illustrations.

They felt joy and solidarity from this act.

But something happened here that put the brakes on.

CEO Kang Seon-woo, who discovered the Mad Men mark in the Mephisto 5 trailer, declared strong response.

Starting with Ice Storm, many game companies began hunting down neo-Nazis, and the situation expanded into an all-out war between game companies and Mad Men.

If it falls behind here, Mad Men’s influence in the future will be greatly reduced.

Melden Law continued to post on the site and encourage protests.

[No one can stop us!]

[It’s time to show the world white anger!]

[Let’s show Mad Men’s power!]

[Now the whole world will tremble at the feet of Mad Men!]

* * *

[(Breaking News) Mad Men site protests in front of the ice storm!]

[Mad Men management holds a large-scale protest against ideological censorship!]

[Neo-Nazis gather in front of Ice Storm headquarters! Fear of bloodshed!]

Mad Men has 3 million members.

About 10,000 people were expected to gather for this protest.

Gamers also expressed great concern as photos of various guns were posted on the Mad Men site.

-They say neo-Nazis are holding a large-scale protest in front of the Ice Storm.

-With what kind of face do haters protest?

-ㅎㄷㄷ Aren’t these guys really coming with guns?

-It looks like all heavy weapons will be mobilized.

-These guys seem to have machine guns and anti-tank guns.

-If this continues, isn’t there going to be a war in front of the ice storm?

-Shouldn’t we protect the ice storm?

-Let’s show the power of the stompers!

-I don’t particularly play the Ice Storm game, but I can’t stand the sight of neo-Nazis being rude!

-Let’s go too!

-Come on, let’s go!

Gamers and ordinary citizens also decided to hold counter-demonstrations in protest against the neo-Nazi protests.

Protesters on both sides are expected to clash, and LA police have decided to mobilize in full force to control the protests in preparation for any unexpected accidents.

* * *

The morning of protests finally dawned.

Protesters from both sides gathered in front of the Ice Storm.

As it is currently the biggest issue in the gaming industry, major media outlets gathered, and police set up a police line to prevent clashes between protesters on both sides.

With about 3,000 Ice Storm supporters and ordinary citizens opposing neo-Nazis gathered, Mad Men members proudly stood in front of Ice Storm holding the Hakenkreuz flag and a flag with the Mad Men symbol.

The number of protesters gathered was about 30.

They were all white men and were wearing masks over their mouths, perhaps to cover their faces.

They unfurled a banner that read, ‘Stop verifying the ideology of the gaming industry immediately.’

Mad Men operator Angry Law read a prepared statement.

“We strongly condemn Ice Storm’s ideological verification, which infringes on freedom of expression! This is something that cannot happen in the 21st century, and it is a very big problem that a large global gaming company like Ice Storm is irresponsibly tolerating and encouraging such behavior. We strongly oppose the indiscriminate witch hunts, hatred of certain sites, and restrictions on political expression caused by the collective misconception about the ‘existence of anti-social neo-Nazi forces’ in gaming culture, and CEO Kang Seon-woo, who promoted this situation, “We strongly protest against the company’s irresponsible, ignorant and ruthless policy!”

After the approximately 10-minute statement presentation was over, reporters asked questions all at once.

“What is the purpose of this protest?”

“It was reported that 10,000 people would come, but why is the number so low?”

“What do you think about the gun photos posted on the site before the protest?”

Angry Law waved his hand roughly.

“No questions asked!”

Then a reporter shouted.

“Why did you hold a press conference if you weren’t going to take questions?”

“ah! They don’t ask questions. Why do you keep asking questions when you say you won’t answer? If you keep doing this, I will report you to the police!”

Other Mad Men members also shouted, covering their faces and cameras with their hands.

“hey! What are you guys!?”

“Don’t take pictures!”

“ah! Don’t take pictures! “We have portrait rights!”

“Someone strange is taking pictures of us.”

“hey! Police! Police!”

The citizens who saw this were all angry and shouted.

“Aren’t you going to take down the Nazi flag right now?”

“Neo-Nazis are protesting because they are so good!?”

“Was it a good idea to draw Mad Men’s fingers into the game?”

“You guys take off your masks!”

“Mug! “Let’s see your face!”

[(WST) Mad Men protest with 30 people gathered, ends after reading only the statement]

(strategy)

30 Mad Men members, including Mad Men operator Angry Law, gathered in front of the Ice Storm.

They wore uniforms, held a Nazi flag and a flag with the Mad Men logo on it, and issued a statement condemning the Ice Storm.

(syncopation)

The majority of citizens gathered at the scene expressed strong displeasure with the neo-Nazi demonstration.

The LA police maintained a police line and controlled the citizens to prevent Mad Men members from being assaulted by angry citizens.

As criticism poured in, Mad Men members, including Angry Law, dispersed and fled, and the police stayed until they completely dispersed.

Angry Law, the operator who led the protest, posted a notice on the Mad Men site saying that the protest had ended successfully and that they had won.

* * *

[Mad Men protest, 10,000 people reported, but only 30 actually showed up!]

[Mad Men members disperse after reading the statement!]

[There is no armed conflict at all!]

After the protest at Icestorm headquarters.

Posts of support and encouragement were posted on the Mad Men site.

-uh! what? Was the protest today?

-Ah, I was going to go, but I didn’t know it was today.

-Sorry, brothers. I couldn’t go because I overslept… … .

-I put on my clothes and was about to go out, but my mom caught me and hit me on the back.

-I can’t go because my mom says she won’t provide dinner if I go to a meeting. Still, her heart was with her brothers.

-There were only 30 people gathered, but in reality, it would be safe to say that the hearts of 3 million people were together!

-I think there are a lot of hyungs who couldn’t go out because of their hatred of Nazis. I tried to go, but I gave up because I was afraid of what people would think. The guys who went there were really great~

-It’s really hard to live as a neo-Nazi~ When will white hatred disappear… … .

-Still, I’m so proud of the guys who protested today.

-I’m glad that this incident reaffirmed our solidarity with Mad Men. Let’s all fight until the day neo-Nazis take power!

-Our brothers worked so hard~

-Let’s eat three hamburgers each and rest well~

-Let us continue to work hard for the human rights of white people!

Unlike the Mad Men members who somehow achieved mental victory, ridicule abounded in other communities.

-They said 10,000 people would gather, but only 30 people showed up lol.

-what? Are you going to start World War 3?

-I thought heavily armed men would come in pickup trucks, but they came from nowhere and started blah blah blah.

-If it weren’t for the police, everyone would have been beaten to death right there.

-Haha, you’re saying these things are neo-Nazis?

-Hitler will cry in hell, you bastards.

-why? Originally, this was at the Nazi level haha.

-If I was a neo-Nazi, I would be embarrassed and jump into the Pacific Ocean.

-I’m so glad that this incident made the whole world realize how much of a bastard neo-Nazi is!

* * *

Employees who saw the Mad Men protest right before their eyes could not hide their dejected expressions.

“Those guys have been pouring out hate speech all this time.”

“I was really worried that they were going to attack me with a gun.”

“Because of those guys, I couldn’t even get off work and stayed up all night analyzing the video frame by frame.”

“Even if I beat you to death, I don’t mind!”

Seonwoo said as if he was shocked.

“what the. “This is the same whether in Korea or the United States.”

I nodded.

“Anyone can be a warrior in front of the keyboard, and anyone can be a nuisance in the corner of the room.”
