🚨 DEI Consultant Outraged That Call of Duty Portrays North Korea as the Aggressor The histrionics over the new Call of Duty game, which depicts North Korea invading South Korea, are hilarious on several levels. Self-described "Anti-Oppression Liberatory Strategist" YK Hong, who conducts DEI training for Fortune 500 companies and higher education institutions, is outraged by the new Call of Duty campaign, calling it American imperialist propaganda that dehumanizes North Koreans, uses South Koreans as "puppets and props," and perpetuates the supposed lie that socialism is evil. Hong argues that the game fuels “anti-North Korean narratives, which is so dangerous for real actual Korean people,” and goes so far as to call it “anti-Korean as a whole.” Meanwhile, the actual North Korean regime has been conducting all manner of weapons testing, including in recent weeks. And then there's the cyber warfare. North Korea has spent years conducting cyberoperations against the United States. Just this month, on October 13, the DOJ announced another major crackdown on schemes in which North Korean operatives allegedly used stolen and fabricated identities to obtain remote jobs at more than 70 American companies, generating approximately $3 million believed to have been funneled toward the regime. But the real problem, according to Hong, is a video game portraying North Korea as the aggressor. Treating North Korea as the victim of American propaganda while overlooking the regime's actual conduct raises the question of whether Hong is doing more to spread propaganda than Call of Duty, which seems to be making a fictional game informed by geopolitical realities.
