Traditional values
(sh.itjust.works)
Tl;dw - Unlike China and Japan, medieval Korea followed an extreme school of Confucianism that emphasized hierarchy and age over practicality. After WW2, the South Korean ~~dictatorship~~ government used this tradition to cement their own power. The video argues that these have made South Korea an extremely hierarchical, and in particular, sexist, society. A video game's refusal to sexualize a female character for their (mostly male) audience was thus seen as an attack on the system. A female artist at the studio was accused of being a 'radical feminist', and either fired or resigned to appease fans.
Edit: As Denjin pointed out, it should be Ming Dynasty and not Tang Dynasty.
Not the artist who worked on the character model, either. Just a random woman who had written some of the story, and had previously retweeted support of a movement to keep incels from secretly videotaping people in bathrooms and hotels. For this, she wa labeled a radical feminist and fired.
Oh yes, I cut some details to keep the explanation short. It was absurd as it is.
I understand completely. It's like a seven layer bullshit nachos plate, where every layer is a new, worse kind of bullshit.
