Chapter 151: War Against Malicious Comments

Malicious comments.

Malicious comments refer to acts of posting comments filled with malicious words or intentions.

It was an inevitable thing that anyone in the public eye had to endure.

Human beings are creatures that cannot be universally loved by everyone.

As many people who loved me, there were bound to be many who hated me.

Especially for broadcasters with a villain concept like me, it was even more pronounced.

Some might describe my personality as refreshing and bold, while others might express it as disgusting and repulsive.

From the moment I started broadcasting, I had been exposed to numerous malicious commenters.

Until now, I had not taken any special action against those malicious commenters.

It was because suing someone for posting malicious comments did not fit well with my character concept.

Honestly, if I had been as clean and well-behaved as other streamers who use polite language, I might have declared war on malicious commenters without hesitation.

However, I was also a person with a conscience.

I knew all too well what ripple effects would result if I sued those malicious commenters.

The activities of the Evil Gang, who mainly wrote high-level malicious comments, would become passive, and that would certainly have a negative rather than positive impact on my broadcasts.

“But this case is a bit different.”

“That’s right.”

“You said a total of 14 people are coming today?”

“Yes.”

“Good.”

But today was different.

In a situation where enough evidence was collected, filing a lawsuit would change the situation entirely.

I had only one order for Sung-jae.

Sue the ones who crossed the line with their comments.

Malicious comments with personal attacks were ambiguous in terms of the boundary, but I had to set a clearer standard because of the previous incident with Xiao Hu.

Most of the borderline comments were let go, but there would be no mercy for those who crossed the line strongly.

I lightly sank into the chair at Chicken Box’s office and nodded.

The content that streamers rarely attempted: “Time to Sue.”

Suing was inherently a burdensome procedure for streamers.

Legal disputes were always something that required a lot of attention.

However, I had a reliable helper in Sung-jae, and the content could proceed swiftly.

Sung-jae handed me the list of malicious commenters participating in today’s content and said,

“Among the 14, three are middle school students and four are high school students.”

“What about parental consent?”

“We have received consent from all parents. There shouldn’t be any major legal issues.”

“That’s good. Early education on malicious comments is needed.”

One could call this hypocritical, but the problem of malicious comments had been a continuous issue since the advent of the internet.

Malicious comments destroy a person’s spirit.

For those who live off public attention, malicious comments are inevitable, but some commenters cross the line.

The reason I gathered these people today was for social justice.

It was never just for my content.

……Absolutely not.

I clicked my tongue and reviewed the list.

“How did the parents react?”

“They said their children were ignorant of the world… and thanked us for giving them a chance.”

“If they were ignorant of the world, they wouldn’t have posted malicious comments, those cunning ones.”

Even though I hadn’t responded to malicious commenters until now, the severity of the comments directed at me was quite significant.

Disgusting curses that I could hardly bring myself to repeat.

Reviewing the list of malicious commenters and their comments, I could only let out a hollow laugh.

“Do they post such malicious comments because they’re ignorant of the world?”

“I’m not the only one, right?”

“It’s the same for other streamers; they just haven’t taken proper action yet. The situation isn’t much different.”

If I wasn’t planning to use these guys as content today, I might have actually gone and beaten them up without realizing it.

The malicious comments were that vile and disgusting.

I never imagined there would be so many people more repulsive than I was.

After returning the documents to Sung-jae, I sighed and spoke.

“They’ll be arriving soon?”

“I told the students to gather by 6 PM considering their schedules….”

The current time was 5:30 PM.

It was about time for those malicious commenters to start showing up.

“Sung-jae, I have a good idea.”

“Feel free to share.”

“Let’s delay the start of the broadcast from 6 to 7 PM and, before that, I’d like to have a one-on-one with each of them.”

“Chan-sik, no violence is permissible under any circumstances….”

“If I wanted violence, I would have just publicly disclosed their identities, wouldn’t I?”

Of course, that would come with legal consequences.

Sung-jae nodded in agreement and slowly left the studio.

I never thought I’d use the expanded studio for a special broadcast in this way.

I grinned as I watched Sung-jae walk out.

To be honest, I really had no intention of hitting the malicious commenters.

I just needed a preliminary investigation to make today’s broadcast more sensational.

What kind of people were these who posted such vicious comments?

Were they as fierce as gangsters?

As I was imagining the malicious commenters while resting in the chair,

Knock knock.

Someone knocked on the studio door, and soon Sung-jae’s voice came from beyond.

“Chan-sik, the first participant for today’s broadcast has arrived. Shall I let them in?”

Finally, the moment had come.

I put down the phone I was holding and replied.

“Let them in.”

Let’s see how ferocious this one looks.

At my words, the studio door opened, and through the gap appeared a male student with his head down, wearing a school uniform.

About 170 cm tall.

His build was very slender.

It was an image far different from what I had imagined.

“Hello.”

The student who entered the studio couldn’t raise his head and greeted me.

His voice was thin and weak.

This was completely different from what I had expected.

But I knew not to be deceived by such appearances.

I pushed a chair towards the student with my foot and spoke.

“Come on in, it’s your first time here, right?”

“Thank you.”

“What’s your name?”

“Yu Deok-gu.”

“Oh! Deok-gu. Right, Deok-gu. Such a familiar name. Isn’t it?”

“Yes? Ah, yes.”

“Haha.”

Deok-gu sat in front of me and soon started shaking his leg nervously.

A clearly tense appearance.

I handed him the list of malicious comments I had prepared earlier and spoke with a faint smile.

“I’ll speak informally, okay? Is that alright, Deok-gu?”

“Yes…… Go ahead.”

“Deok-gu, since you’re the first one here, I’ll give you a special opportunity.”

Deok-gu slowly raised his head and soon made eye contact with me.

Eyes devoid of confidence.

They didn’t match the vicious comments he had posted online.

Tsk.

If you can’t say it in real life, you shouldn’t say it online either. Why don’t they understand that?

“If you can read all the malicious comments you wrote, I’ll let you go home right away.”

The death battle royale had begun.

### 2.

[The broadcast is starting.]

[Set broadcast title: A Sweet Day]

[The camera is activating.]

[5…… 4…… 3……

[The broadcast has started!]

All 14 cyber warriors invited as guests for today’s broadcast had gathered, and the broadcast began soon after.

I lightly waved my hand as I looked at the camera.

“Welcome. Today’s broadcast is just as I announced on Twipod yesterday. It’s time to get sued, and we have gathered cyber warriors who have brilliantly fought against the Evil Gang online.”

-ㅋㅋ

-What’s with cyber warriors now?

-lol if we gather all Korean malicious commenters and send them up north, we can achieve unification by absorption

-Would it be a military unification?

-ㅇㅇ In terms of cyber warfare, Korean cyber warriors are unbeatable

-Agreed on that

Even so, there weren’t many slanderous comments about me today.

Normally, the rule was that various villains would appear and start spewing curses as soon as the broadcast started, but today it seemed like everyone was being cautious.

I smirked as I watched the scene.

Then I slowly opened my mouth to speak.

“Alright, those of you who have gathered here today, greet the viewers strongly.”

At that, the 14 warriors, who were very nervous, stood up from their chairs.

“Hello!”

“Nice to meet you!”

“

They were more disciplined than ever before.

Half of them were students, and the other half were adults.

The students were all wearing school uniforms, so it was easy to distinguish them.

After the brief greeting, I immediately started the broadcast.

“The 14 people gathered here today have one thing in common. They were sued by me and have come here for a settlement. This broadcast is being conducted with their consent, and the minors have also received parental consent.”

I mentioned this in advance because there were always viewers who might cause trouble by accusing us of doing something illegal.

There are always those who complain no matter where you go.

-Those guys are done with school life lol

-Getting sued vs. school life

-lol the choice that makes you spit blood lol

-ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-But what’s up with adults posting malicious comments?

-They must have been eating shit instead of brains

Hmm, it seemed necessary to draw another line.

“I’d appreciate it if you could refrain from indiscriminate insults towards our brave warriors who came here today.”

Secondary damage was not something I wanted to deal with.

So, I asked Sung-jae and the staff managing the broadcast outside to monitor the chat.

After all, it was true that these people had shown courage by coming here.

“There are many others who have received lawsuits but haven’t come for a settlement. For those people, we will proceed with the lawsuits without settlement, so I want everyone to be aware of that.”

-Throwing away chicken money?

-Wasn’t there a chance for a settlement coin to rise?

-A bit disappointing

-Hey lol Do our villains lack pride just because they lack money?

-lol Honestly, they have both money and pride lol Settlement money? No chance

At least I had offered everyone a chance to set things right, and the only ones who took it were the 14 gathered here.

“The start of today’s content is this: reading each other’s malicious comments. The 14 of you will be divided into 7 pairs, and you will read the comments you wrote to each other. Those who complete the mission will receive a small prize.”

With that, I brought into the studio the item that Sung-jae had placed outside the studio door.

“Huff.”

“Mom.”

“Please save me……”

The item was none other than a giant hammer.

It was the kind of hammer you’d expect to see on a construction or demolition site.

The faces of the 14 people turned ashen at the sight, and I smiled kindly at them.

“Ah, don’t worry. This is just a prop for the broadcast.”

“A prop?”

“It’s a

They seemed slightly relieved at the word ‘prop.’

As I watched them, I slowly finished my sentence.

“We might need it later. Now, let’s get started.”
