[A news article about a "race" run between Korea's only S-rank Tae-gun Lee and his new partner Hye-jin Kim. They cleared six whole dungeons between the two of them, each of them soloing three, back-to-back, within a few hours. They were apparently competing to see which of them managed to clear all three first, and Hye-jin Kim won the race. There is a video of her waiting for him outside the portal of his last dungeon, huddled between space heaters to deal with her hypothermia backlash, grinning like the cat that got the canary, followed by a zoom into Tae-gun's face.]
okay wait if this is real did she seriously solo three fucking dungeons in… how many hours? seriously?
I hate the way the East Asians pull stupid publicity stunts like this. Like, c'mon, it's peoples lives on the line here, not a goddamn concert! Extremely fucked up, and you know they're raking it in with the merchandise, like Quasar the poaching extraordinaire with their fancy teleporter even need more money. Goddamned capitalist whales, playing with people's lives like it's a game.
It looks like shes about to get soloed tbh, isn't this guy basically Buster Keaton no matter what kind of dungeon he comes out of? And he looks like that?????????
oh my god you people are so fucking stupid, this is obviously a CONVENIENCE partnership because their powers are basically polar opposites, he's probably just mad that she cheated
that is NOT a sex face he is gay. COPE HARDER.
Anyone else feeling invisible today (and every day besides bisexual awareness day?)
@fruitssymmetry oh my god i know what bisexuality is but all of his partners for YEARS were men, then all of the sudden he partners with this chick who just happens to have the opposite powers as him from another country and they start having these publicity stunts?

look all I'm saying is that this man looks at his partner the way I look at a breakfast burrito
@leetaegunxkangjaeha4ever
Alas for my bisexuality, for I have been in a relationship with a man for four years and can never look at a woman again...
@fruitssymmetry jesus h christ are you reaching this hard to misinterpret me on purpose? there's a fucking difference between a regular person getting into a regular relationship (because no, i'm not one of those "pick a side" idiots however much you want to paint me as one) and a celebrity whose every move is on public display. you know that the guilds in korea basically script what their members say to the media right?
@leetaegunxkangjaeha4ever
Which means they control his potential partners, too, so it's not as though this means anything about his sexuality. Besides, sometimes you just like men more often than women, ask me how I know.

paying someone to look like that on camera is basically sex work.
inb4 "professional guides are sex workers" puritans lmao
all of you are MISSING THE POITN here which is that this is ACTUALLY SERIOUSLY DANGEROUS. normalizing this kind of shit could get someone KILLED
normalizing this kind of shit could get someone KILLED
typical internet, completely ignoring the fact that delayed rescues CAN ALSO KILL PEOPLE
How about botched ones because it got rushed by a stupid PUBLICITY STUNT? Did they get a sensor into each of those dungeons to MAKE SURE it was empty before they smashed that core, or would it have been bad for their metrics to pause?
It seems perfectly safe as long as they were being responsible with backup and had comms access? Which, like, they're both seasoned professionals at Quasar...

Sounds like something a professional dungeon crew could set up when they're starting a race like this! Besides, Quasar has that broken-ass teleporter, if they needed help it seems pretty easy to get help there. If the PROFESSIONAL MONSTER HUNTERS think something is good enough to risk their own asses for it, it's probably fine.
