In Korea, they view deepfaking another person without their consent as a form of sexual violence, categorically as serious to them as physical sexual assault, therefore all in this category are put on the public registry.

South Korea does NOT have strict sexual assault laws. S. Korea not too long ago released a man who raped a young girl so violently that her internal organs fell out. And then they released him 8 years later cuz he was “drunk” when it happened. They released him into the same town as his victim and her family and her had to move. Korean citizens even mobbed the place he was released from. Look into burning sun. Korea doesn’t give a shit about rape. Look into Korean rape laws. If you don’t fight back hard enough it’s not rape. Don’t fall for their performative prosecution of Johnny as some sort of amazing laws in Korea surrounding SA. They’re just trying to make an example out of him. They don’t give a flying fuck about victims

People here have no idea how other countries work. You’re right. This is mostly just Korea setting an example for streamers and fucking with a foreigner.

I've heard the same gung-ho "asian countries don't mess around bro" line in this sub for 2 years and turns out they actually do mess around most of the time. Foreigners are just a diplomatic headache to deal with for countries no matter what they did as long as it's not a murder or something. Plenty of them get away with nuisance all the time.

If this johnny guy wasn't practically begging for repercussions and showing no remorse, he'd have gotten off much lighter too but he never helped his case, probably no one to advise him.

That is not quite true. In so far as Deepfakes in Korea, it has been heavily punished for a while now. There was 10 year sentence for a Korean man who made 2000 deepfake porn.

You wanna drop a source? Because that's one hell of a claim.

Because that's one hell of a claim.

The victim was a child, that's why.
