[e글중심] “I was silent about sexual harassment of female idols” …’Alpes’ controversy on fire

Blue House National Petition Board

Alpes (RPS, Real Person Slash, a fan fiction mainly using idols as the main character), which was considered an idol fandom culture, became the subject of controversy. It was a chance that controversy arose around the online community as the artificial intelligence chatbot’Achieved’ was engulfed in gender discrimination awareness and terminated its service. In the Cheong Wa Dae national petition, an article stating, “Please come up with a regulatory plan to prevent the distribution of naked sex crime novels to real people” appeared, and the petition is encouraging mainly in communities with many male users. On the one hand, a petition came up saying, “Please strongly punish the illegal video deepfake (a technology that uses artificial intelligence to create images that synthesize the face or body of a specific person)”. As a result, the opinions of netizens continue.

First, there is an angry voice saying that Alpes is an obvious crime. “Where is your gender in the crime? There are only criminals and non-criminals. Do not blur the essence. What you want is a gender conflict or punishment for a crime?” “The serious problem with Alpes is that the emotions are devastated in sexual delusions that students easily encounter on Twitter, fan sites, and blogs. Alpes sexual exploitation must be eradicated even to protect youth.” “It wraps crime in freedom of expression. Alpez, deep fake, and grab it all. Those who haven’t seen it will be proud.”

On the other hand, there is also such an opinion. “Then, did the Alpes program broadcast openly on the public saying’We Got Married’?” “Isn’t there already a video on the broadcaster’s YouTube account saying it’s bromance? Then are the broadcasters getting caught?” “Sexual harassment Alpes, of course, is wrong, but more is not. There is also a pair of girls and boys, and there are Alpes, a pair of girls, and male creators and consumers are also overflowing. It seems too much to attack Alpes because he understands it as’a gay novel written by a woman’.”

It has been pointed out that sexual harassment is still prevalent in the male-centered communities where Alpes is most actively addressed. “I keep saying’let’s protect youth’, and what is the duality of consuming illegal filming as content in all kinds of Namcho communities, regardless of whether ordinary people, celebrities, teenagers, and adults? What about youths who will grow up watching the harmful atmosphere shared by YouTube and Africa? It’s good to point out Alpes, but do you have any conscience for youth protection?” “I would like to admit that I would like to be passionate about idol rights in all sexual harassment posts posted with female idol fan autographs, illegal shooting glasses case, illegal shooting in the locker room, and’rearism’.”

It is also pointed out that putting Alpes in line with the Deepfake and Room n incident is an excessive leap. “I don’t know Alpes, but it’s surprising that some people see this as having the same weight as room n. Is there any other man who became a’slave’ or committed suicide after being robbed by Alpes? Is there anyone who systematically earns money with Alpes and robs Interpol? Compare what to compare.” “It is power itself to be able to raise it like that. When did female celebrities speak out loud about sexual harassment or deepfakes? I couldn’t. Even if it’s mentally painful, I’m afraid that if it becomes an issue, it will look for more and become more known.” The e-text center gathered various thoughts of netizens.
