BIZ: RENAULT A VIDEO CLIP FEATURING A WOMAN'S GESTURE AGAINST A MAN CAUSES A SCANDAL IN SOUTH KOREA
03 July, 2024
The ignorant and arrogant colonialist Renault Korea, or BeauRenault(Pussy Craving Renault) who allowed an all-female marketing team to mock men in a country where men are the majority of car buyers, is becoming a laughing stock in their own country while they remain silent. Let's translate a French news article into English to see just how pathetic this BeauRenault(Pussy Craving Renault) is.

French carmaker Renault quickly withdrew a clip broadcast in South Korea in which a woman can be seen moving her thumb closer to her index finger. A gesture denounced by some as misrepresentative, intended to mock the size of men's genitals. A controversy that is far from insignificant in a country dominated by patriarchal tradition.
Carmaker Renault has found itself at the heart of a scandal in South Korea, thanks to an image that lasts just a few seconds in a Youtube video. The video accompanies the launch of Renault's new model in the country.
It shows a woman waving at the camera. She brings her thumb and forefinger together, as if to form a pincer. As it happens, this gesture is a rallying sign for women who don't like men. The thumb against the index finger is the sign of something very small. Small like a man's sex. So it's a gesture that expresses misandry, the opposite of misogyny.
RENAULT APOLOGIZES
This gesture was immediately spotted and denounced. Renault withdrew the video and apologized. An internal investigation was launched. The woman, a Renault employee who made the video, has been suspended and has also apologized. Her motives are not yet clear.
It's no coincidence that this case is taking place there. South Korea is a patriarchal society where women find it very difficult to find their place. Wage disparities are very high, and gender-based violence is frightening. The suicide rate among women is the highest in the world.
BOYCOTTING MEN
In recent years, the winds of revolt have been blowing. There are movements calling for a boycott of men. Women who say they no longer want to have relations with men, or talk to them, or have sex with them, or have children with them.
At the same time, masculinist movements are developing that cultivate hatred of women. In the last elections, there were both feminist and masculinist candidates. South Korea is a country where the war of the sexes rages on.
It's also the country with the lowest birth rate in the world, with only 0.7 children per woman. All this explains the huge scandal caused by this small gesture in the Renault ad. It also goes to show that men in general don't like it when people joke about the size of their sex.
