Chapter 34

Negative issues spread much faster than positive ones.

Why does this phenomenon occur?

According to an investigation by a certain news team, only 0.03% of people who comment on news articles write 30% of all the comments.

If you expand the scope to the top 10% of users, they account for a staggering 80% of all comments.

The remaining 90% of users only write 20% of the comments.

The noisy minority.

To someone who doesn’t know or just passes by, their words can easily seem like public opinion or the majority view.

First, there are so many of them.

That’s all people see.

The community ecology isn’t much different.

When a minority actively spreads sensational information, it can appear abundant, relevant, noticeable, and pervasive.

[Am I the only one who thinks this?]

-[No, you’re not the only one who thinks this]

-[Even if you give him the red pill, he turns away from the truth]

-[I choose the blue pill!]

-[Just let him be. He’s a legend to the bone. Let him live in his fantasy forever!]

-[I’m a medical student, but it’s known that hands are the hardest part of the body to gain weight, right?]

-[If you’re just going to believe what you want, why even use the community? B]

After the fabricated SNS of Seol was revealed, there were certainly people who raised doubts.

However, posts like “Seol Red Pill lol” outnumbered them by eight times.

The noisy minority endlessly spammed them.

Therefore, people who didn’t know much had no choice but to be deceived into believing that this was Seol.

Even after that woman’s adult video spread, it was the same.

To [Doesn’t the voice sound different?], endless comments like [It must be a different mic] and [Moans are always different from normal voices, you idiot] flooded in.

And to [Her hands look different, right?], comments like [It’s just good lighting] and [They must have used a camera editing app] filled up.

After these negative issues spread sufficiently, it moves to the second phase.

Amplification.

This is known as “Kadela Communications.”

[Author: Anonymous] [Title: Seol acknowledged the red pill, what are the B’s who say it’s not?]

[Are you crazy? Why would someone pretend to be a fatso on purpose?

She admitted it herself, do the people who say it’s not know Seol better than Seol herself?]

-[??? When did she admit it?]

-[She basically said she looks ugly and told people to leave if they came here to see her face]

-[Is that admitting?]

-[If it wasn’t true, she would’ve said so, wouldn’t she?]

Seol never once said the SNS was hers.

Precisely what she said was:

“I never said I was pretty. Viewers looking for my face aren’t needed. If you’re looking for those things, please leave.”

That was it.

But the noisy minority went around saying, “It’s not a denial, it’s an admission,” using the miracle logic that if it’s not false, it must be true, and most people believed Seol had indeed admitted this.

Then, after the adult video spread, this lie was amplified again: “She admitted the adult video was hers.”

Even though there was no evidence that the woman in the SNS photos and in the adult video were the same person.

This is quite common on the internet.

Important truths are buried or distorted, while huge lies circulate.

And this is why the “neutral gear observers” keep winning.

If Seol was a real victim, she would’ve probably gone crazy with frustration.

Of course, she was the crazy person tied to the witch hunt stake enjoying a hot log massage.

Actually, she herself cut the logs and built the stake that bound her.

Through negative issues, deceiving the internet world like this is surprisingly easy.

Isn’t there a saying?

It only takes one line to incite but dozens of pieces of evidence to refute.

By the time the evidence is gathered, people have already been incited.

Truth isn’t always given attention.

Throughout the history of the internet, there have been countless cases where negative fake issues spread and then the truth was revealed.

However, when you ask those same people again years later, most still remember the fake issues and have either forgotten or never knew the revealed truth.

Truth doesn’t always win.

…And this time was one of those rare cases where the truth got attention.

[Author: Anonymous] [Title: The response from Legend makes it seem like it’s definitely not her]

[(Screencap from the chat window at the burning point)

No matter how strong her mental resilience is, could you really ignore this chaotic chat window?

I already said, there’s no way her hands could create that physique!]

-[Isn’t the issue that it’s not strong mental resilience but rather a lack thereof?]

-[The Infinite Team AI named Teama created this, seriously!]

-[Is it true?]

-[My grandma is a leading authority in AI deep learning and she said Seol is an AI, seriously!]

-[Something feels off. Even if the mic changed, the voice is just clearly someone else’s]

-[It’s not that she stays quiet because it’s her. If it wasn’t her, wouldn’t she have said something?]

-[Our gallery owner is weird to begin with]

-[Who decided she’s the gallery owner?]

-[Wasn’t it Victory and Seol who were paired as gallery owners?]

-[Wild got left out again ㅠㅠㅠ]

-[Tell 2nd to win a trophy first]

-[She got 3rd place, why call her 2nd and make her feel bad? Call her 2nd-2nd instead ㅜㅠㅠ]

-[Here we go again, you demonic bastards]

-[Rejecting the cup n]

Many people encountered this issue.

Many watched the broadcast live.

Many checked “the video.”

Noisy minorities can deceive people when it’s an event that not many know well.

Of course, incitement doesn’t work if too many people notice discrepancies.

[The hands are just different, you bastards.

The hands are just different, you bastards.

The hands are just different, you bastards.

The hands are just different, you bastards.

The hands are just different, you bastards.

Are you bastards saying the handcam shown live on the broadcast was also fabricated? Haha?]

-[What?]

-[Bastard hurry up and come in]

[Author: Anonymous] [Title: Accurately measured the hand size (Scientific)]

[As everyone knows, Gallery Owner’s hand length is 13 cm.

Let’s look at the video in question.

Can you see the lamp beside the bed?

(Shopping mall product detailed information photo)

It’s a lamp that’s 64 cm long.

There’s a moment when the hand touches it.

(A photo of the woman touching the lamp with her hand)

(A photo with lots of lines drawn on it while doing calculations)

This woman’s hand length exceeds 16 cm.

So, good luck to you.]

-[Haha]

-[What? Is it really not her?]

-[The person in the SNS and the adult video could be two different people]

-[This guy just closed his eyes and ears haha]

-[Just leave him be]

-[Isn’t that what you want to believe haha]

[Author: Anonymous] [Title: Let’s gather the sages who weren’t fooled by the fake Red Pill]

[It just pisses me off seeing those dumbasses who fell for it just because the ID was the same and blindly believed it was Seol.

I’ll start, haha.]

-[Wow, there’s even someone who takes pride in this?]

-[Life achievement) Not fooled by the fake Red Pill]

-[What?]

-[Hello, pissed-off and deceived]

-[Haha]

-[Victory’s Legend Squad followers are awesome!]

-[Adding one win to the Legend Squad!]

-[Intelligent ones ㅇㅈㄹ haha, so funny, it’s like a comedy]

-[You have potential; just keep going like that]

-[Let’s have a drink]

[Author: Anonymous] [Title: Watching Gallery Owner’s actions, it doesn’t seem like she created the SNS either?]

[Gallery Owner’s previous offense: Got caught faking a male voice using a voice effector.

She doesn’t care about deceiving others.

And she doesn’t like the attention she gets for being female.

I think the SNS was also something she created to deceive people.

By pretending to be an ugly face, she thought fewer buffalo Black Oxes would cling to her.

But it ended up being the real owner of the stolen photo whose adult video got leaked.]

-[Write a novel, seriously]

-[If this is a novel, he’d get a lot of backlash saying it’s implausible haha]

-[Enough antics haha]

-[Am I the only one who finds this convincing? Doesn’t this explain everything?]

-[Are you N?]

[Author: Anonymous] [Title: Opposite of the Red Pill, is it the Blue Pill?]

[We’re the ones who dislike Buffalo and change voices and fabricate SNS because we’re an SSS-grade supreme beauty, right? Haha]

-[Isn’t it just a trolling attention seeker?]

-[She does seem crazy]

-[Yup, your sister is a woman pretending to be a man pretending to be a woman pretending to be a man pretending to be a woman pretending to be a man pretending to be a woman pretending to be a man pretending to be a woman pretending to be a man pretending to be a woman pretending to be a man pretending to be a woman]

This is how the fragments of truth began to surface on the internet.

But that’s merely online.

There’s also reality in this world, and it matters, too.

When you keep spreading fake issues on the internet, before you know it, an uncle from the police station shows up.

Let’s not commit fraud or impersonation, please.

*

Fortunately, it’s an era where you can find almost anything if you search the internet.

While the internet is full of scammers and false information, it’s not as though it contains only lies.

For example, take this site, a legal consulting website where only verified lawyers can leave responses.

“Are you being arrested for a crime as a suspect or an accused person? Surely an informant isn’t the same as the former, right?”

The first thing I did was to check the number where the text message originated.

…Apparently, the number matched that of a police station, so it wasn’t a smishing scam.

According to the lawyer’s response that followed, Korea doesn’t have a law that punishes impersonation on SNS.

However, in certain cases, you might be sued for damages in a civil lawsuit.

If you impersonate someone for monetary gain or blackmail, it counts as fraud.

The law simply doesn’t apply to mere impersonation.

“If only I’m not breaking any laws.”

I was initially surprised when the woman, who I assumed was Chinese, used Korean.

Fortunately, so far, it’s safe.

If the crime stated in the text, distribution of pornography, is accurate, I have no idea why they are summoning me.

“It’s not that I’m the accused person but rather the informant.”

The accused person is suspected of committing a crime, while the informant is just someone deemed necessary for investigation during the investigation process.

“100%, this must be about the photos posted on SNS.”

Somewhat frighteningly, there are cases where an informant during an investigation is treated as an accomplice and becomes the accused.

I won’t be that, though. Probably.

Right?

Please don’t do things like impersonation.

A summons from the police station might arrive.
