I honestly didn't think it was an issue. And let's be honest, people over here in the west will get offended over everything.

If this was such a non-issue, Korean people wouldn’t have been complaining as well. I’m witnessing a certain trend with those who defend Get Schooled.

Really...the creators apologize? That's just great. Now I think they're not gonna be very creative since they're probably gonna focus on not offending people. Also, I'm kind of worried they might learn some wrong stuff because even here in the west, they can't do racism right.

I dont think the creators are going to change. This is a Korean comic FIRST, and the story in the west side of the world gets it after. So. They'll probably continue what they're doing.

I hope you subscribe to us! We are trying to build the first One-Stop-Shop for Webtoon News and Reviews

I hope so. Lately, I've been seeing a lot of asian artists/creators getting attacked on social media by so many people from the west. And as an Asian person, it's both annoying and sad to see.

I'm a fan of "Get Schooled" and "YLAB," having read many of their webtoons. I was eager to see how TRPA agent Daniel's pacifist beliefs would be portrayed in his methods of discipline but was ultimately disappointed. As a Black African, I find the use of the n-word in "Get Schooled" crossing a line. It's not just an insult; it's a deeply offensive term rooted in historical racism. Its use by non-Black people perpetuates discrimination and should be universally avoided. In order not to revert to such years of discrimination it shouldn't be used by non - black people in any context period. It's not just about the west it's an entire race of people.
