INVINCIBLE WAS ANIMATED BY NORTH KOREAN SLAVE LABOR
>unknowingly
or the inbetweens are drawn by South Koreans like most animated shows are and NK is intercepting internet comms between SK and the US
Yea, and as we all know, South Koreans get all their instructions for animation written in Chinese and then translated into Korean.
>written in Chinese
>must be North Korea
Anon, are you moronic?
You do know that NK and China have had a very long-standing working relationship for like the past 80 years, right (with the exception of some recent debacles)?
The article even states that the servers where the files were located were accessed almost exclusively by North Korean and northeast Chinese addresses.
and you think this proves NK was animating a cartoon?
I don't see why not, this wouldn't even be the first time SK has outsourced animation work to NK.
Not even surprised, that animation was janky as hell. Bezos can't even be bothered to outsource to firstie studios.
>SmartSelect
>capeshit is low effort trash
I already knew this.
a know a lot of shows get sent to korea to get animated but I didn't know south koreans used north korean labor in the process at all. seems like a big problem on their side.
I don't know too much about the Koreas but I know ROK wouldn't do that. They can do it fine themselves, they're also rich and first world while being the envy of their neighbors so why would we need North Koreans? Doesn't add up, it would only make them look bad.
I mean its fricking odd that somehow a U.S company could somehow directly contact North Korea so I'm only just assuming it must have been from the south side contacting the north.
This dude watch too much kdrama. South korea isnt this paradise.
SK companies don't farm out NK workers for anything, except in the Kaesong Industrial Region because to do so would be PR, political and legal suicide
Chinese (both mainland and taiwan) however do it and a lot of animation is outsourced to mainland/taiwan (who are doublesourcing it to NK in some cases, which can be illegal)
>the chinks
okay that's 100 times more plausible. I'm moronic and didn't even think of that
source?
https://home.treasury.gov/news/press-releases/jy1155
That doesn't answer my question about the thread topic. Are you moronic?
>doesn't even read the press release
>calls other people moronic
sasuga, anon-sama...
Are you dumb, you fricking Black person? That link mentions nothing about Taiwan outsourcing their animation to North Korea. Did you even fricking read it?
I doubt it's unknowingly. North korea has done lots of animation co productions in the past
The whole "proud of the american industry" thing is pathetic
>animation studio: hired to animate
This isn't even newsworthy
>Amazon trust fund slop is made from evil
Imagine my shock.
Simpsons called it
dude, koreans been producing simpsons stuff since the show started
Is this news? I thought everyone knew this was just how the animation industry worked and we accepted it like how we accept 90 percent of our clothes and electronics are made of child slaves.
It usually isn't by our enemies though.
No, it very often is.
>We've been found out...
>"We had no idea...we are SHOCKED by these revelations"
~~*unknowingly*~~
Animation shows have been outsourced to South Korea since the last 20 years minimum, even anime. This news is about they are not outsourcing to North Korea or that North Korea steal South Korea animation companies storyboards?
Anways everything sucks
>unknowingly
This really doesn't surprise me.
North Korea literally can't defeat globalization. All the tanks and jets and nukes in the world can't dim the juicy fricking prospect that is 26 million literate Asians who live on average incomes of $75 a month.
The global economy is now in a bizarre scrambling outsourcing cycle where it's seeking new shitholes, anywhere, to wrangle slave labor because the arrogant slaves in the previous generation's shitholes have started demanding $5 an hour
It has been a long time since the occidental animation delegated some work to North Korea. I don't know where the news is here
>"based North Korea doesn't fall for the lies of DAJUZ! I still won't go and live there because it's a shithole!"
>NK actually does fall for the tricks because it's so poor as a result of communism
lmao
>incidentally we routinely steal data from North Korean servers
honestly just fricking rude
>COMMUNISM BAD
do Americans really
The ruling class of America constantly champions communism.
