In addition, the North Korean character is shown pretty explicitly as being abused by a South Korean group focused on “helping detectors”. She is financially extorted for even more money to bring the rest of her family to South Korea, while iirc also being SA’d by the guy who’s supposedly helping
Also she gets killed by a financial capitalist in the end. She was winning the games with her strength and the intelligence with the sacrifices of her comrades, but the capitalist breaks the “rule of law” and “fair competition” to kill her. He doesn’t get punished but rewarded with advancement to the next round.
Having this sequence of actions happen to the North Korean character isn’t coincidental. The whole show is a giant critique of capitalism but there’s layers and layers of it until the end.
I don’t know why I thought it was appropriate either. I completely ignored the implications of saying it in this context, I guess. Sorry, should’ve known better.

I am inclined to agree. I do not understand why you though this was an appropriate sentiment to share here 🫤
