Legendary mad scientist. Does stuff that's obviously unethical but not illegal (yet), gets caught, the authorities patch the law, and then he moves on to new mad science. Once went to jail for editing a baby's genome.

 

In a landmark case on the separation of powers between India's Union (Federal) and State governments, the Supreme Court ruled that state Governors - who are appointed by the Union Government - must assent to a bill if it is placed before them a second time by the State Legislature. The SC also ruled that the ten bills that had been pending with Tamil Nadu Governor RN Ravi for months could be deemed to have received his assent.

The Governor's assent was historically seen as a mere formality in the passage of a bill. But over the last few years, state governments not led by the BJP - which leads India's Union Government - have complained that Governors reject or delay assent for bills passed by them. Tamil Nadu Chief Minister MK Stalin, whose government brought this case to the Supreme Court, hailed the verdict as a victory for federalism and all state governments.

Tl;dw - Unlike China and Japan, medieval Korea followed an extreme school of Confucianism that emphasized hierarchy and age over practicality. After WW2, the South Korean ~~dictatorship~~ government used this tradition to cement their own power. The video argues that these have made South Korea an extremely hierarchical, and in particular, sexist, society. A video game's refusal to sexualize a female character for their (mostly male) audience was thus seen as an attack on the system. A female artist at the studio was accused of being a 'radical feminist', and either fired or resigned to appease fans.

Edit: As Denjin pointed out, it should be Ming Dynasty and not Tang Dynasty.
