if I was from the atla universe what nation do you think I’d be and would I be a bender or not

There are a lot of people on the internet talking about the controversy surrounding the release of Seth Rogen and James Franco’s political-action comedy film, ‘The Interview,’ in which they play journalists who have been instructed to assassinate North Korea’s dictator, Kim Jong-Un. On December 17, a number of major North American cinema chains canceled screenings in the interests of safety, amid fears of threats from the North Korean government for “merciless” action against the United States if the film’s distributor, Columbia Pictures, went ahead with the release. Many film studios have also decided to cancel screenings and productions of other films which portray North Korea, including a film adaptation of Guy Delisle's graphic novel 'Pyongyang' (a personal account of his experiences in the North Korean capital while working as a liaison between a French animation studio and a North Korean one, which is worth the read by the way) which was going to star Steve Carell. Sony’s own cancellation of the theatrical release of the film drew criticism from prominent figures in Hollywood (like George Clooney) and even the President of the United States, Barack Obama; encouraging the film’s release. These criticisms claim that this is an issue of government censorship, and that canceling its release ultimately defends the DPRK’s dictatorial regime, which is notorious for committing atrocious human rights violations against its own population. 

On December 24, Sony made the film available for online rental and limited release at selected cinemas on December 25. However, all of their arguments, for and against the film’s release, have for the most part completely ignored the voices of Koreans and the Korean diaspora. I have become increasingly frustrated with local theaters in my community that have decided to screen the film. I am openly calling them out for catering to the hipsters, college students who haven’t yet developed a social conscience, and tech yuppies those individuals who are participating in the process of gentrification, rather than serve the people who actually live here. A group of friends and myself went down to one of these establishments, and before being able to speak with the theater’s manager we were openly mocked by people wanting to see the movie with racialized slurs about Asians, including accusations that we were North Korean spies. I am asking everyone to please not go and watch it this Christmas, and to inform the people you love during the holidays who are considering watching it why that’s a bad idea.

Let me explain what would’ve happened had the film been released: South Korea’s current ultraconservative and majority right-leaning government, headed by Park Geun-Hye (Korea’s first female President, whom a lot of people on the internet praised without actually researching ANYTHING about her politics, or the fact that she also happens to be the daughter of a terrible dictator), would have increased government oppression of South Koreans with left-leaning political opinions to avoid military confrontation from North Korea.
