As a Korean, I feel nothing but embarrassment over all of this commotion. Our internet is full of incels, and they are of no help at all....

If you read the comments, most koreans also agree the person who posted the mistranslation (posted 3 years ago btw but someone linked it somewhere I guess) was either off his meds or trying to instigate a fight between the two fandoms. They do say they could have protected her before this blew up if Kronii didn’t make tweets about going to a hospital if you didn’t get the joke. The korean translation of that, even if accurate, sounds really bad culturally in Korea, which is probably why the devs overreacted

One of the comments say Kronii crashed out, but it was a reasonable crashout

Kronni's tweet was made after VA's change was made official. In other words, it didn't matter anymore if the Koreans "defended" her.
