Sexual insult over ”man-hating hand sign” in popular game...Complaint filed but police ”not forwarded” case = Korea

A woman who was mistakenly named as the person who drew "man-hating hand signs" in a promotional video for Nexon's popular game "MapleStory" in South Korea has received over 3,500 sexual insults.
The victim filed 41 complaints, but the police decided not to forward the case to the police. On the 5th, the Seoul Seocho Police Station reported that an animator named A had posted an online message against him.
The court revealed that it had decided not to refer to the prosecution cases in which Internet users had been accused of defamation under the Information and Communications Network Act and lewd use of communication media under the Sexual Violence Punishment Act.
The police have determined that the remarks are "nothing more than a slightly rude and mocking expression," but a controversy is expected.
Last November, Studio Roots (an animation production company) announced that it had begun supplying games to multiple game companies, including Nexon.
Some internet users have raised suspicions that the promotional video released this year used the shape of a pointing finger, which is a symbol of misogyny.
He was named as the person who drew the character's index finger in the promotional video for the game. After that, personal information about Mr. A was spread on online communities, and he was subjected to a series of insulting remarks.
However, it was revealed that the person who actually drew the storyboard was a man in his 40s. In June, Mr. A filed a complaint against the people who wrote the online posts at Seocho Police Station.
However, the police said, "The suspect's criticism of the plaintiff is a logical conclusion," and "Mr. A had previously posted tweets in support of feminists.
The court concluded that the act of posting the message in question did not constitute a crime, stating that the police investigation had not been conducted properly.
It is planned to do so.
