Tl;dw - Unlike China and Japan, medieval Korea followed an extreme school of Confucianism that emphasized hierarchy and age over practicality. After WW2, the South Korean ~~dictatorship~~ government used this tradition to cement their own power. The video argues that these have made South Korea an extremely hierarchical, and in particular, sexist, society. A video game's refusal to sexualize a female character for their (mostly male) audience was thus seen as an attack on the system. A female artist at the studio was accused of being a 'radical feminist', and either fired or resigned to appease fans.
Edit: As Denjin pointed out, it should be Ming Dynasty and not Tang Dynasty.
I don't understand the format of this. Why put a dictator/murderer/war criminal and shitty capitalist/conservative talking head having this detailed and interesting conversation. These two in no way deserve any of the positive association this meme implies.
It's a meme about one person asking about a modern-day event, and another replying by starting 500 years ago. No value judgement about the actual people is implied.
