“They Need To Be Shamed Globally” — Korean Netizens Furious About Limbus Company Controversially Firing A Designer Due To Feminist Accusations

“Just Korean men living up to their name…”

A Korean gaming company, Project Moon, recently came under fire for firing a game illustrator. The issue started when male fans of the game Limbus Company, took issue with the outfit on one of the characters. According to the male fans, the outfit was more conservative (a wetsuit) compared to the usual skimpy bikinis that characters sport in such games.

Following that, male fans began accusing the game of having feminist elements. After discovering that the designer in charge of the character in question was male, they targeted a female story illustrator instead. Finding a retweet on her personal social media supporting the protest against illegal filming, they accused her of feminism. This resulted in Project Moon firing her for breaching the rule about “not creating controversial opinions through personal social media.”

The matter has now spread globally. Korean netizens are highly encouraging of this, claiming that the controversy needs to spread far and wide so the company will take appropriate actions.
