1. [+7,162, -1,564] It's just a manhwa, people need to calm down.. don't read it if you don't like it.. at this rate, you're all going to be going after ero movie directors until they die...

2. [+3,520, -1,055] You did nothing wrong.. we just have too many triggered people in our country

3. [+2,563, -343] I must be lacking in imagination or something because I did not think of anything sexual when I saw this scene ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ why is everything being resorted to national petitions nowadays? ㅋㅋ

4. [+1,698, -458] I support you Kian84~ fighting~

5. [+1,040, -142] So it's okay for movies or dramas to cover this topic but not for manhwas? ㅡㅡ What's with the double standards?

6. [+351, -81] I don't really care much for Kian (don't hate or like him) but I feel bad for him this time. No wonder he suffers from panic disorders? People demand him to apologize over every little thing ㅠ and this is such an exaggerated scandal;; especially with the national petition over it.. I think we need to reevaluate how we use the national petition board.

7. [+271, -17] Feels like we've lost the meaning of the national petition board

8. [+294, -53] I'm not particularly fond of him but.. who cares what happens in a manhwa? Who cares if she's cracking open a clam or a human head? It's just a manhwa... don't get so absorbed into it. So many weird people in the world...

9. [+227, -34] The thing about movies and dramas is that they're subjected to regulations and standards. Kian is posting his webtoon on one of the biggest webtoon platforms in the country where kids have full access to, which is a problem when he's covering adult topics like women getting jobs by using sex. What kind of large company would even hire a woman just because she's cute like he's trying to claim? This is not only a disservice to job recruiters but to women too. What makes this worse for me is that fresh female interns have to deal with a lot of misogynistic jokes like this in the work place and Kian decided to make a manhwa out of it that isn't satire but putting women down and viewing them in a twisted light.

10. [+182, -21] I don't get how Kian considers this satire when there's no company that would ever hire a woman "just because she's cute" ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ can you please tell me if you know of anyone who got a job just for being cute? ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ Kian is just straight up misogynistic.

11. [+179, -33] The media keeps featuring the edited manhwa scenes but the original scene had the clam drawn with such attention to detail, it made me wonder why he spent so much time on it in the first place. You could see through the inside of the clam in detail... I don't get how people don't think this is problematic and are saying "it's just a manhwa" when it's not...

12. [+138, -31] Whoever started the petition is weird. Just don't read the manhwa then. Stick to reading your children's manhwas.
