Korean copycat product listed at Redirects for discussion
An editor has asked for a discussion to address the redirect Korean copycat product. Since you had some involvement with the Korean copycat product redirect, you might want to participate in the redirect discussion if you have not already done so. Fram (talk) 08:49, 10 October 2014 (UTC)
 * I left a reply. The issue of it being racist to some people is an unfortunate one. I think what I find "dramatic" and "outstanding" about the Korean products is that the Japanese products "go out of their way" to make the packaging and such a unique part of the product experience, and they are based on ideas an artist came up with. The odds of the packaging looking the same, and the ingredients being the same with a few changes, by accident (so that at first glance one things the products are the same), seem astronomical. As opposed to how two milk or orange juice containers that have the same shape but the lettering, packaging, etc are just people selling something humans consume all over the world and there is no "gimmick" from another company that stands out to imitate. In the case of Korea, the Japanese "gimmick" is imitated and this is what stands out. Perhaps it is part of a broader phenomenon of "gimmick imitation": Topps products being copied by Fleer, Cracked and Crazy Magazine imitating Mad Magazine, etc. The subject apparently needs research done.--Radical Mallard (talk) 21:52, 10 October 2014 (UTC)
 * I am un-blanking my talk page posting a reply to this old comment thread of mine from years ago to try to clarify my involvement in this entry that was deleted (and I applaud it's deletion). It does not excuse the subject's unfortunate implications (which I realized were a very bad idea for Wikipedia: the idea of labeling something like this which is far more widespread around the world "[country-name] x") but I do believe it is worthwhile to explain it. At the time I was upset about the situation of the lack of reconciliation between Japan, Korea and China, and the racism directed between these 3 countries and societies at each other... why did Korea (or China or Japan for that matter) have imitation products of the other countries' products if they had so much animosity and disdain for each other since WWII? Why couldn't they reconcile if they liked aspects of each others cultures? Why have the modern commercial product sectors of China and Korea focused so much on imitation (at least this was my perception at the time) instead of innovation and originality? But this was not the way to go about addressing these issues and other entries on Wikipedia do better to address these issues - especially historical and cultural ones. My most humble apologies for this mistake. --Radical Mallard (talk) 00:41, 25 June 2020 (UTC)
