Chapter 152: War Against Malicious Comments (2)

– They all turned muteㅋㅋ

– Those bastards who only type on keyboards, what else can you expect

– Be careful with your anglesㅋㅋ You might get banned if you curse at them

– They were always the cowards cursing behind the scenesㅇㅇ They deserve the hate

– Lately, other big-time streamers have been taking long breaks because of the stress… I really hope all those trolls die.

Big-time streamers.

This term refers to streamers with a large number of viewers and subscribers compared to others.

As the viewers mentioned, quite a number of streamers have recently taken long breaks.

The reason was simple.

Their bodies and minds were heavily damaged by stress.

As a fellow industry worker, I could understand their feelings better than anyone.

I looked at the participants hesitating in front of me and spoke languidly.

“Relax, everyone. I’ll give rewards and prizes to those who complete the mission first. So, which team wants to go first?”

There were a total of 7 teams.

I even offered rewards, yet they were all hesitating like that.

Probably because they were fully aware of the comments they had posted and the level of comments made by the people they came with.

They couldn’t bring themselves to say those curses in front of me.

I couldn’t let my meticulously prepared content be ruined like this.

If they couldn’t do it themselves, I could just make them.

“Let’s decide fairly by drawing lots.”

I had prepared a ladder drawing in advance for situations like this.

Smiling, I immediately ran the ladder program, and the order was quickly determined.

The first team to step up was Team 6.

It was a regular team consisting of one male student and one 26-year-old man.

Their expressions were uniformly as if they were dying. Anyone would think they were being dragged to a slaughterhouse.

I looked at them and slowly opened my mouth.

“Let’s start with a brief introduction, then move on to the main game. I’d appreciate it if everyone cooperated. Still, I’m glad you all accepted my invitation in the spirit of reflection.” �

I had to clarify in advance that this wasn’t content made by coercion to avoid any trouble later on.

And to block any escape routes for them.

All the participants in today’s content had come here voluntarily.

Even though their indiscriminate slander and all sorts of curses directed at me were unforgivable, they were still braver than those who didn’t come.

If they performed well in today’s mission and gave me good footage for my Ak-Tube video, I was willing to forgive them with a truly generous heart.

The two members of Team 6 sighed as they looked at each other.

The first to speak was the male student.

“I’m Lee Bum-seok, a sophomore at Gwanghui High School… I’m here to correct my wrongdoings… I’m sorry.”

– Skinny, glasses, hmm…

– Anyone can tell he’s ‘that guy,’ right?

– Yeah, but you gotta acknowledge that he came here bravely, even if he’s a nerd

– At least he’s not a disgraceful sonㅋㅋ

– Our villain wouldn’t settle for anything less than a hefty settlement

– I should confiscate the keyboard when I have kids

-ㅋㅋ Can he even have kids?

Despite the student’s earnest words, the viewers reacted cynically.

The public opinion on today’s participants was overwhelmingly negative.

That’s because even the Evil Gang knew that I usually let trolls off.

The fact that I filed a lawsuit meant they had crossed the line significantly.

Although the Evil Gang always cursed at me, this time was different.

A quick glance at the comments on Tugether this morning showed posts like ‘Our villain only curses at usㅇㅇ,’ and ‘Anyone who can’t keep boundaries doesn’t deserve to be in the Evil Gang.’

That was enough to gauge the public opinion.

But if I wasn’t careful, this place could become a public execution ground.

I had to be mindful of that throughout this content.

“Alright, Bum-seok.”

Next was the 26-year-old man.

Though he wasn’t wearing glasses, his massive frame gave off the typical ‘paohu’ vibe, and he lowered his gaze as he spoke.

“I’m Kang Ji-won, 26, living in Gwanak-gu, Seoul… I’m preparing for employment.”

“Have you served in the military?”

“I was a public service worker…”

“No need to explain why.”

I could guess.

After the brief introductions, the main game began immediately.

I handed them the list of malicious comments I had prepared in advance.

“These are the comments written by the other person. To expedite the process, I’ve selected three comments. If you read them all, you clear the mission.”

“Do we have to read these out loud?”

Kang Ji-won, 26, asked with a trembling voice as he checked the paper.

Did I really need to explain that?

“Of course. I brought you here to read those.”

Saying so, I fiddled with the large hammer placed in one corner.

The grip felt just right.

Seeing that, Kang Ji-won shook his head and responded.

“I, I can’t do it.”

“Why not?”

“What if Shia kills me with that?”

“Why are you scared? It’s not even your comment. Don’t worry. I already checked each comment while printing them. Just read them comfortably.”

Those who muster courage will survive.

And then it happened.

“Honestly, isn’t Shia that jerk annoying every time you see him? He’s always showing off his military pride for no reason. Just because he got popular from a lucky broadcast, he’s acting too cocky. I really want to smash his head with a punch if I meet him on the street. By the way, I’ve been attending an MMA gym for 3 years, and guys like Shia are always weaklings in real life.”

While Kang Ji-won was hesitating, Bum-seok made the first move.

Suddenly bursting out with curses.

At the same time, Kang Ji-won’s face, which was already pale, turned ghostly.

I nodded lightly at the intriguing atmosphere.

“Interesting? Bum-seok, keep reading.”

4.

The content that started with lawsuits had a greater impact than I expected.

Today’s broadcast was a tough one with cursing allowed.

Because of the violent nature of the content, I heard that two Twipod Korea administrators were monitoring my broadcast.

Since Sung-jae received the notice in advance, I needed to tread carefully.

Of course, not as many harsh words were coming out as I had anticipated.

“T

“Why can’t you speak? Hurry up and read it.”

“… I’m sorry. Huuu, I’m really sorry.”

Some participants even cried and gave up reading.

Watching them, I clicked my tongue in frustration.

Even though the comments weren’t written by them, they couldn’t easily read the script.

Because the curses were so harsh that they were hard to even utter.

The common trait of those I decided to sue was simple.

Crossing the line with extreme verbal abuse.

Anyone with a conscience and a shred of humanity wouldn’t easily spit out such vile words in real life.

Even for me, who let most curses slide, it was hard to forgive these comments.

The studio quickly turned into a sea of tears.

– So why did they post malicious comments?ㅋㅋ

– They can’t say a word in real life

– Life is real, you bastard!

– Honestly, they’re not even pitiableㅇㅇ Isn’t this all their karma?

– Even celebrities’ trolls beg for mercy while cryingㅋㅋ

– They’re just pathetic

But no one sympathized with them.

“Why can’t anyone read it? You didn’t write it. It was written by the other person, so just read it shamelessly. There’s a prize and a reward too.”

“I’m sorry.”

“Huuuu.”

“I’ll never… I’ll never write malicious comments again.”

There were currently 80,000 viewers.

An enormous number of people were watching, and once this broadcast ended, today’s content would quickly spread across the internet.

I looked at them and couldn’t help but sigh in frustration.

At this rate, I wouldn’t be able to get as much footage as I wanted.

But there are a few cheat codes for situations like this.

I had to use a cheat code to resolve this frustrating situation.

After quickly calculating, I immediately picked up my phone and made a call.

After a few rings, a slightly slurred voice came from the other side.

“Hey, brother.”

“Dong-su hyung.”

“Ah, I was just having a drink and talking about you! What’s up?”

Judging by the slight slur in Dong-su hyung’s voice, it seemed he had drunk quite a bit.

A drunk Dong-su hyung was a very dangerous presence.

When he drank, he spoke much more directly than usual.

For instance.

“Hey, wasn’t today the day you were doing content with those trolls? How is it? Don’t they look like you just want to beat them up?”

Like that.

Unfiltered honesty.

He’s already a straightforward person compared to other streamers, but when he drinks, it’s much more intense.

I responded with an awkward laugh.

“Haha, why would I beat them up?”

“Should I beat them up for you? I think I need to take a long break soon too. My brothers have been under a lot of stress lately. Should I take the blame? I’m around the area anyway, just say the word. I’ll come right over.”

Since I was broadcasting, the call was on speakerphone.

The participants flinched at Dong-su hyung’s voice.

I looked at them, chuckled lightly, and spoke into the phone.

“Come on, if anyone should send them, it should be me.”

“Right. Our Kim Chan-sik never lets things slide.”

“But hyung, did you drink a lot?”

His speech was much more slurred than I had anticipated.

“Yeah, I had about five bottles of soju. But I’m still fine, haha!”

“You’re like an old man when you drink. Hyung, what would you do in front of the trolls? I called to ask that.”

With the sound currently diminished, I needed a cheat code to actively fill the sound.

A special helper to break through this situation.

Dong-su hyung pondered my question for a moment.

“Hmmm.”

And then, an unexpected bombshell came out of his mouth.

“Honestly, if trolls couldn’t read the same comments in front of me? I’d just piss on their faces right there…”

“Haha! Hyung, you’ve had too much to drink!”

“Why? I’m not done talking.”

“…I’ve saved your ass halfway today.”

I hadn’t expected him to be that blunt.

I quickly ended the call after summarizing Dong-su hyung’s remarks.

However, the brief spiciness of Dong-su hyung’s comment was enough to shake the viewers.

“Nobakku, real manㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

“ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

“Has he lost his mind?”

“Streamers must really get a lot of stress from trolls.”

“Industry… puking! Hyung, you’re disgusting as always!”

I don’t know.

I tried my best to save Dong-su hyung.

I cleared my throat, nodded, and slowly looked at the participants.

“Alright. Since none of you can complete the mission I proposed, I’ll suggest an alternative.”

I had prepared an alternative in advance just in case.

As soon as the ‘alternative’ came out of my mouth, a viewer made a donation.

‘Breaking News’ donated 10,000 won!
