Terrible images of El Salvador prisons all over the news— WTF!

Modern brains so rotted by Hollywood dystopia to normalize these sh1t?

Film Folks! Stop visualizing the worst— it’s getting manifested

Dear ones, you were not meant to be prison commodities! How the hell did you/we get there/here??

'악플'은 '악성 리플'의 줄임말로 악성 댓글이라고도 한다.
악성 댓글은 언어 폭력인데, 그 대상이 여성인 경우 더 악랄한 댓글이 달리는 경향이 있다.

'Malicious comments' is an abbreviation for 'malicious replies' and is also called malicious comments.
Malicious comments are verbal abuse, and when the target is a woman, the comments tend to be more malicious.
