It's depressingly possible (and well written. You had me for a sentence or two!), but I personally doubt it would go that far.
Also, not to nitpick, but Waygook and its servers are owned and operated from Canada, not Korea. Not that it makes much of a difference, but...

It's the mods who should be worried  :wink:

Are Mr. A, Mr. V, and Mr. K currently residing in Korea?

I don't want to see you guys pulling a midnight run and scampering out of town like the 3 Stooges at the end of every show of theirs.

Well it all depends on how they present it, size of class, how the students view the teacher, temperament of the students and parents, age of the students, if the teacher adds additional content, how the school reacts, political orientation of the school, etc...

Like, I would think presenting this in Deep Blue rural Gyeongbuk or Deep Red rural Jeolla to a class of 4th graders would have a far higher chance of a meltdown than some 6th grade class in Sejong or some High School Teacher printing one of the pages, coloring it and taping it to the back of her clipboard as she does a class on reading comprehension.

The odds of what you are suggesting are so slim they might as well be zero. But if it were to happen, what odds are we looking at for criminal charges against the moderators?

There. That ought to do it. You're welcome.

Actual charges? Probably really really slim.
The scare of charges? Higher than really really slim.

Though still not high.

Oh, I've got my hash&crash scripts all coded out waiting for the day when the anti-waygook.org division batters down my door.

Are Mr. A, Mr. V, and Mr. K currently residing in Korea?

Mr. A does not reside in Asia. As for Mr.V, well... I'm really sorry VanIslander, but when the stasi show up, everything will point to the fact that good citizen K is just another one of your sock accounts. I hope you'll understand that it's nothing personal.

Between the two of us that out to solve it!

I'd also like to add that my integrity is up for sale to the highest bidder and would gladly settle for CO2's brewing setups, hangook77s seized crypto accounts, Van's Koronado/Armored Fighting Vehicle and my pick of the Buy/Sell/Trade used household goods.

The idea of a shitstorm is possible but only in the literal definition of the word "possible."

It is NOT going to happen.

Something of the extreme picture Martino is painting?  Not a chance.  All of us having our reputations sullied in the eyes of a certain number of administrators and parents if someone actually pulls out this lesson plan in a school or hakwan near you?  Very good.

True, but I'm sure whatever guy back in 200-whatever that snapped those pics of him and some girls at the club thought the same thing...

Martino the Korea panic doomer. What's going on? Worlds are colliding. Human sacrifice. Dogs and cats living together. Mass hysteria!!!

Yes, but why weren't just the offending comments removed and the sound advice left?  That's the part that confuses me.  And now it's been left up and locked, which, as DMart says, seems to be an endorsement.  Forget whether you agree or disagree with Pride celebrations.  We all know that if anyone does this with little kids there is going to be blowback for that teacher.  And it very well may be blowback, especially at a hakwan, that gets them swiftly booted.  The mod that wiped the entire thread and locked it should be explaining their decision.  They seem to have gone A.W.O.L. on this.  It's clearly something that has drawn a lot of attention from a variety of the waygook community, so what's with the silence?  Dumb things done by one or two teachers affect the whole teaching community over here.  They don't look at it as isolated instances, but rather as an indication of all our behaviours.  ESL teachers have a vested interest in some idiot NOT using those materials.  We're not just shooting the sh*t on this one. 

Because one of the moderators (not Kyndo) seems to think he's judge, jury, and executioner.  And by the way if someone opposes certain lifestyles due to their faith, that does not make them a 'bigot'.  Christian, Muslim, and maybe some other faiths too.  But no one has the right in modern democratic society to interfere with how consenting adults live with each other as long as they don't force it on each other.  Have whatever view you want, but don't be a dick about it.  The mod went too far.  Otherwise mind your own business.  But forcing it or any kind of sexuality on innocent kids is a bridge too far.  Ron DeSantis got it right in Florida.

If you want to be gay or trans or whatever, fine, but you knew when even Liberal Bill Maher talks about it, it has gone too far.

I also nominate Aristocrat as the next person to be caught accidentally falling on a penis. But he should still be allowed to express his opinion.

While not doubting the validity of this prediction and sanctity of free speech, one cannot forget the need to maintain the esteemed reputation of our profession in Korea.  :blank:

Civil smack talk!

Help others, especially animals. Say what you think, be considerate of others. Appreciate more than deprecate. Teach well, jump on teachable moments. Enjoy Korea as it is, without changing it. Dwell! Yet, at times, change your life for the better. "The most important [thing] is to have a good day."

Dude, you have nothing to add to this. You spent half a thread with homophobic crap, going on about how BTS fans must be teeny girls or gay.

At least Aristocrat was straight-up with his views and not some two-face.

And we wonder why there are so few younger NETs and women in the comments...

Not really sure why my comment was deleted. I'm personally very much in favour of the gays even though I forget what all of their letters stand for these days, and I would fully support Aristocrat regardless of what he ended up falling on.

I can only assume there's something going on between him and VI.

I too was an admirer of Aristocrat . His sanctimonious indignation was priceless irrespective of his sexual identity but I can understand how his somewhat extreme views would have earned the censure of the moderators.  If he returns it would be wise of him to work on his tone. He has struggled with this in past if I recall correctly.
