    The legality of Squid Game may seem like an easy question to answer. These people signed away their rights, right? Well Loyal Theorists, it is NOT that simple. Today we are going to figure out once and for all if the people behind Squid Game are BREAKING any laws or if they have outsmarted the system!

    I love the Theory Wear merch so much, especially compared to other TH-camr merch because, even when I don’t like a piece enough to go and buy it, I can still see that a lot of care goes into creating it. I see a lot of other TH-camrs making merch that’s just a solid color T-shirt or hoodie with a small logo no bigger than a chest pocket on it. And it’s so disappointing compared to Theorist Merch with awesome designs, hoodies with thumb holes and the plastic aglets on the draw string, and features created because of community input. Nothing against those other TH-camrs, the Theorist Team just sets the bar WAY too high. Keep up the great work!

      Now that Mat brought light to this, it seems that it is actually quite easy to pull off, with no shortage of location.

      I heard that each Squid Game has a different theme with different challenges. The Squid Game we saw in season 1 used children's games because the director of the games wanted to play the games that he enjoyed in his childhood one last time. If we get a second season, there will most likely be completely different challenges.

    To put the contract thing simply, contracts don't make things legal. They make them illegal. So with the hot wings example, rather than making the serving of hot wings legal (they always were legal), it's making the suing of the restaurant for damages illegal. And it can only protect the parties involved. So you can't sign saying "I won't sue the restaurant for giving me poison" because that isn't a matter of a lawsuit, it's a matter of the police enforcing a strict LAW. You could ask the police to sign saying "I won't arrest the restaurant owners for poisoning their customer", but they obviously won't sign that.

    • @chongjunxiang3002

      Even if the island is somehow on international waters there are still international laws preventing you from doing things like this.
      The most likely answer is that we have a case of "technically illegal but practically untouchable" meaning the VIPs have bribed enough south and North corean politicians to protect them and turn a blind eye to this island

He then made the terms and conditions that we agree that he should give us all a 0 on our next assignment and that we all owe him a tenner. None of us questioned anything, didn’t read the terms and conditions, and he then had our passwords and also a contract wherein which we technically actually owed him £10 and a fail. Obviously he didn’t act on it, but it was just showing how dangerous it could be to not read these things sometimes for sites that may be unfamiliar to you.

As in, would a game occurring on a newly created artificial island, claiming to be its own state, be committing an international crime in this case?

    The signing "Jane Dough" could be a reference to one of my favourite books, A Bakeshop Mystery: A death of Passion Fruit. The person who gets killed in the book (Annie) was given the alias 'Jane Doe' because they had no idea who she was at first- and the protagonist's best friend, who is like- my favourite character of ALL TIME, came up with the alias 'Jane Dough'. This has nothing to do with squid game, but I just found it really nice.

    “Has anyone actually stopped and asked the question, could squid game be legal?” Actually yeah! My US history teacher was teaching us about libertarianism and used squid game as an example and showed clips and everything, then he asked us about our thoughts on if squid game should be legal or not.

    I was actually hoping that during the segment discussing legal contracts you might touch on mckamey manor. It's not a death game scenario (to my knowledge you can quit at any time) but there's supposedly a cash prize and very real torture involved. It's been awhile since I've seen anything about it, but iirc there's a loophole concerning the contracts participants sign and the fact they don't charge an entrance fee.

      @forgottenplace.8358 2 ปีที่แล้ว +51

      Well, there's a large amount of managers, soldiers and workers that help the games operate, the building is MASSIVE, and the Squid Games have been running for about 33 years, and apparently the prize for each game is 45.6 billion won, leading up to about 1,504,800,000,000 in the prizes. And because of the stuff I stated before, it's probably somewhere around the levels of billions in US dollars. In the prizes themselves, to USD, that's actually about 1.2 billion.

      No. It would provide a slight level of cushioning, but your momentum isn't magically cancelled. It's possible Bourne just didn't fall from a high enough level. He might have done better to tie a rope around his victim, loop it round the bannisters and use the corpse as a counterweight to slow his fall - it should turn a potentially deadly fall into just a dangerous one.
