Welcome

We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!

The Rules

Posts must be:

  1. Links to news stories from...
  2. ...credible sources, with...
  3. ...their original headlines, that...
  4. ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

And that’s basically it!

Avoiding political opinions on South Korea, the court's claim would be that because he likes shooting guns at other people in games, his objection to military service has no ground to stand on.

"A paintball player? Clearly you must be a gung-ho militarist who loves war!"

"Have a BDSM kink? You go around kidnapping and torturing people, don't you?"

"So you like reading murder mysteries, huh? Seems like you're a murderer yourself, then!"

—Some South Korean judge, probably.

Which is fucking dumb beyond measure and logically, spiritually, and sensibly makes no fucking sense. Military service isn't a god damn video game

"I miss Call of Duty...."

"We are IN Call of Duty, and it SUCKS!"

By that logic, I should be their divine leader because I play RTS games.
