They wanted to
commit the "perfect" crime, but they were not able to pull it off.
Because no matter how "perfect" it seemed to them, they were not able
to get away with what they did. The video is out there for everyone to see in
Korea, America, and the rest of the world. And even if they aren't recognized,
they will continue to live with this in their minds. It wouldn't be that hard
for someone who knew them casually to recognize their voice and what was shown
of their faces and put two and two together. The video they had taken for their
own pleasure will always be a source of fear, regret, and shame, so in their
original purpose, they failed because in the end, they did not get a video that
they could enjoy. Every time they watch the video, they will be reminded of
that night and what happened in the
aftermath.
After that night,
I'm sure the young Korean woman in the video woke up in a haze with a sense of
deep pain over something she did not remember. It was a rude jolt in a life
that was already depressing. That is why she had drunken herself to a stupor
and that is why the video makers chose her to target for their video. She was a
lone, drunk woman who would not have put up a lot of resistance. She would not
have the wits or defenses to be able to, so these guys could go through with
their plan and get the "perfect" shot for the fetish video. But
drunken hazes are interesting because sometimes, people do remember little bits
and pieces after a while. But who knows how this thing will turn out?
The reason that
these guys were able to make such a video is because they are sociopaths. They
lack a sense of moral responsibility and social conscience. They are
psychopathic, showing extreme egocentricity and failure to learn from
experience. This video does show them doing something that is amoral and
antisocial. They certainly did something criminal by sexually harassing that
young woman. They were able to do all of this because they were extremely
selfish to the point where they could dismiss the humanity of another person,
in this case, a young, drunk Korean woman. Basically, their life is about
getting what they want without regard to how it affects other people. Other
people do not have value unless they can give them something that they desire.
Other people are props in their life that they can do with as they please. This
is the mentality that you would have to have in order to make a video like
this. But now, these guys are scared because their own sense of survival is
being threatened. Nothing matter until it affects THEM on a certain level. They
have the right to do as they please however it affects other people, but when
something affects them and keeps them from doing what they want, there is a
problem.
To be honest, I
really don't think the backlash from this video will turn them into saints
overnight. I think they will be more careful in what they choose to do in
public. But otherwise, they will continue to be the same selfish bastards that
made this video. Immature, whiny kvetchpats who will continue to go on to
Dave's ESL and express their sociopathy to the world wide web. There, they will
find like-minded compatriots to egg them on in their disgusting bashing and
degradation of Korea. That's what's wrong with the whole kvetchpat scene.
Instead of helping eachother out to make the most out of their time in Korea,
they really bring out the worst in eachother by encouraging eachother to hate
and bash Korea. Yet they wonder why they continue to have such a horrible time?
Not a hotbed of geniuses. That's for sure. What they can't face is that their
problems in Korea are largely due to their own dysfunction, their own inability
to adapt to a different culture and language and life as whole. Because they
come from multi-racial countries, they are under the illusion that it somehow
makes them progressive and open-minded when the truth is that they have only
experienced diversity on a shallow level. They don't really understand other
cultures or races. Because they have seen other races in person does not make
them an expert on diversity more than a Korean person who lives in Itaewon an
expert on other countries. The truth is that their understanding of
multiculturalism is very superficial like a tourist who buys trinkets from a
gift shop and believes that it gives him great insight into that culture. No.
You've experienced other cultures as a CONSUMER, not a true student.
That's the whole
problem with kvetchpats. They come to Korea with a consumerist mentality. What
can I get, get, get in Korea. And when Korea does not give them everything they
want, they throw a hissy fit. It's just pure selfishness, plain and simple. Korea
has to give them everything that they demand, but they have no responsibility
to respect or understand its culture, language, and people. Sounds like a fair
deal there. The real problem is that they lack the maturity and personal
responsibility to adapt to a different culture. They think that everything
should be handed to them and that they shouldn't have to put forth any effort.
The real truth is that Koreans don't have to be nice to them, trying to
understand them when they don't speak the language. A lot of kvetchpats use
this as an excuse to not learn Korean and blame it as the source of their own
lack of motivation. They also say how useless it is for them to learn when they
are the ones relying on their Korean girlfriends, friends, coworkers, and
strangers to translate in various situations. I guarantee you that they
wouldn't feel so entitled if they had to deal with a society that looked
harshly upon those who did not speak the
language well as many English speaking countries do. You have a country where
the main language is Korean. You need to communicate with Koreans, most of whom
do not speak fluent English. You would think that is a no-brainer, right? But
the most diehard kvetchpats will continue to make excuses, excuses because they
are lazy and self-entitled and another year will pass in Korea and another and
another. They don't grow. They don't really learn anything from their time in
Korea. They are just living as perpetual tourists in a country where they
expect to be treated like Koreans while getting all the foreigner privileges
with none of the Korean responsibilities. They are wasting their lives with one
excuse after another. All the while, their bitterness continues to grow. The
longer they stay in Korea, the more bitter they get. And they falsely believe
that it has something to do with Korea. Never taking responsibility for the
lives they have created. They could always take a plane and leave, but then
they would no longer have Korea to blame and actually have to take
responsibility for their lives. Next . . .
