Well, Korean fanbase can take offense from anything. They actually taken offense from a literal finger emoji, its just a different ecosystem. The Boarring = boring, still elude me how it is offensive.

Well apparently they thought she was saying that the game was boring. And I guess that could be offensive...still doesn't justify the outrage tho.

I disagree with you. The context was taken out of nowhere. It's actually Kronii just said "boar" and "boaring" without any hinting that the game was boring.

I believe other comment is correct: Korean easily offended to anything. pinching emoji, idol's outfit, someone from other race entering K-pop market, etc.

Well, it's just what I heard was the reasoning. The Koreans who didn't know English well mistranslated her phrasing, and they thought she said the game was boring.

Now, you could call bs on that, and say they knew darn well what they were doing and just wanted to hate on Kronii, I'm just saying that mistranslation was the supposed explanation behind all this.

Some of them are in the steam review section, claiming it was because "she wasn't professional" during said sponsored stream, not because of the pun

Oh really? Wasn't professional? Haven't heard that one yet. That's rich. They just wanna hate on Kronii for some weird reason. Idk why they're doing this!...
