I love the Theory Wear merch so much, especially compared to other RUclipsr 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 RUclipsrs 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 RUclipsrs, the Theorist Team just sets the bar WAY too high. Keep up the great work!

Matpat trying to explain russian roulette without getting destroyed by RUclips is hilarious
what makes this theory more terrifying is that the vips imply that there are multiple squid games hosted around the world, “the ones in Korea are always the best” meaning they are pulling this off in MULTIPLE PLACES.
I mean, why wait a whole year for your favorite show when you can make more of them
Well North Korea is just one of many examples. China had been explicitly commiting humanity crimes since forever. Numerous African/South American countries can all be "candidates" to host such games.
Now that Mat brought light to this, it seems that it is actually quite easy to pull off, with no shortage of location.
@@theatog also, if you had enough resources you could probably get something like that done in a western country as wel.

Well, in the series they said something like "I like the Korean games most", which implicates that there are multiple games being held somewhere else.
Hence there should be at least a second place where they are making these games...
@nicreeper Any authoritarian regime can overlook them and there are a lot of countries who fall unto that category like cuba, venezuela, china, russia, iran, syria, saudi arabia, cameroon, egypt, congo
@@ItachiSharinganDN if squid game happened in a country like South Korea then I wouldn't be surprised when it happen in japan or even USA, just on some isolated island in the middle of the ocean
@@Triskelion345 well that could be possible in Japan or the USA but they would still run the risk of getting caught because even if they have a higher up government official or politician involved if someone else gets a whiff of it and investigates it they would get into some serious trouble so I think if it were to happen it would be in a country that would overlook it like north Korea or China, Russia, Cuba and places like that where they could just pay someone off and not have to worry about getting caught
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.
Well, chose another dictatorship country. Russia, Iran, any small country in south america etc

The contracts weren’t about legality, it was about the game runners establishing dominance and the players willingly relinquishing agency.
It was about giving the illusion of legality
@@exammole4545 I mean they are literally signing over their rights there’s nothing stopping them from leaving at that point
Yeah, and I have a sneaking suspicion that signing a contract does NOT allow you to commit murder… could be wrong though
I think the players were more eager than just signing for fun.Its more like they are playing death run except there is only one winner
Notice how "the Korean games are the best one" (something like that, please correct me if wrong) doesn't specify which Korea?
We assume South Korea since the outside world we see is South Korea and we generally just reference South Korea as Korea.

keep in mind that Gihun DID try and alert the authorities when he first came back after the players voted to stop the games and the authorities thought he was crazy. there's also the scene with the other VIPs saying "the ones in Korean are the best," implying that these games happen around the world (especially since the other VIPs are also from other countries).
I had a sneaking suspicion that the cops were in on it too..
BUT THAT'S JUST A THEORY-
Another thing that didn't help was that the organization behind the games changed the number on the business cards that were handed out to the players. These guys really don't want to get caught, especially since one of their main sources of revenue is harvesting organs of deceased "players".
@@Larry.R Actually, the organ thing was not from the game organizers but from corrupt guards who did it behind their backs

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.
In short, contract can only work as long as it is legal. But when law breaking activity is involved (ie murder will be involved), the contract will be void and the case will be supersede by criminal investigation.
When but your whole point goes out the window when it's on a private island rhat isn't owned by government, this is what this man said, I don't know if there's an actual law for this but if I owned a island and committed a crime on said island what police force has the jurisdiction to arrest me ? Would It be the nation I come from or something ?
@@D-A-A- no it doesn't.
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
I love these channels

Nice, the Carnival Victory, that was the first ship I cruised on!
I remember when I was in computer science in A Level, my teacher played a really mean trick. He made a website for us that he pretended was a study site. 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.
Thats... wow
So... Do you usually read the terms and conditions?
@@LiTingSakura now I do, just in case 😂
Dang, that is a savage teacher.

quick question about the main character: he DID try to contact the authorities about the games, but the organisers managed to cover their tracks. he then helped a cop go undercover in that facility so he could get evidence of the games and come back to arrest everyone. granted the frontmaster has successfully covered his every track, but how would at least trying to get the authorities involved affect his sentence, should he go to court?
To answer your question should he go to court? Yes. Should he be then convicted of manslaughter - now thats a different question and nothing but going to court could really answer it.
@@elinarancane6029 it's second degree manslaughter
He only did that after the squid games though. He didn't leave the game episode 2, and contact the authorities. He did way after he should've.
@@R.K_Chalkboard he did though. after he left, he went to the cops and told them to call the number, but it just picked up to a random number (or more likely they realised it was the police and acted innocent) so they didn't believe him. then a cop convinced him to go back into the games to give him the opportunity to infiltrate the staff, and that's how he came back.

Law student here, literally just had my Int. Law exam, so this vid is kinda post-exam revision lol. One question generally, when he outlines universal jurisdiction and crimes, he says that a 'death game' such as squid game would not fly. Is this true? 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? It's not really genocide, slavery, piracy etc. It could be torture...but these people willingly engage. I just thought that part of the video to be making assumptions potentially, but I'm not sure.
@@johnsimmons105 I mean, I may not be into law, but the game would *technically* fall under the category of manslaughter, wouldn't it? That's what Mat said rather early on into the video

"Jimmy and the team ain't making any death games"
You don't know that
Everyone knows
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.

Bro This is the only merch I've ever seen that is just a t-shirt with a logo, they are so nice with different designs. I love them
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.
oh my god, I just read about it. I'm surprised this kind of thing can go on!
It's a Casino game but instead of money its your life and multiple People can win but the prize is divided to the 5 people
Why did you have to remind me of that abomination...
I need a Matpat vid on this now, I'd love to see his thoughts on it
I thought about that too! Also, during the worst part of it where it had that big budget and all before it moved, you couldn't get out of it. Even when players said to stop they didn't. There wasn't any sort of safeword or anything. That's partly why it was so traumatizing.

Could you try to determine, how much would organising Squid Game actually cost?
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.

“Have any of you stop to ask the question if Squid Game is legal” that was the first thought that came to my mind when I watched it 😭
why are you using a crying emoji?
I remember watching the show with my mum, and after the last episode our brains were just trying to understand what we just witnessed. After some time, my mum looked me that in the eye and said: “Who says that something like this doesn’t exist somewhere?” And it literally throw me off. In addition to this, this video just strengthens the theory. I don’t want to imagine people risking their lives for money somewhere and the people organising everything getting away with it…
I’m thrown off my feet, because my ankle hurts.

and what's the chances of the real life version not being more brutal than this one? Maybe the participants don't even get anything and they just have to play the game just to survive?
I felt a gut punch reading this comment, because I just relised that I would not be surprised if this where to actually happen in real life 🥶

Film theory idea: is the stairwell scene from “The Bourne Identity” where Jason falls down the stairs on top of a dead body and survives technically possible?
You should put that in the discord or reddit.
I'd like to see that. lol
@@australiankappa8123 I’ll consider it!
That sounds cool
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.
Gi-hun actually tried to tell the police sooooooooooo you can't really blame him.
You should do a theory on padaku, a North Korean movie about fish fighting for their lives in a fish restaurant tank.
Q: Are the Squid Games legal?
A: Literally exactly what you thought if you think about it for more than five minutes.
Unless you're powerful enough to cast aside the rules.
"Ours is a world of ethical infants and nuclear giants. We know more about war than peace, more about killing than living".
- General Omar Bradley
@@sayxxdx The answer being "No, but if you're rich and powerful enough it doesn't matter because no one will hold you accountable" was my point. More importantly, it was also really obviously Squid Game's point too.
It's also good to know why.
This answer is pretty much what I figured, but I was curious if there was some legitimate legal loophole the VIP's we're using.
