lmao these stupid fucking redditors are too lazy to even look up a source
they see some military lookin people put obviosuly prop handcuffs on a kid and they're like "OH MY GOSH!!!!!1!1!!" and don't even look up that this "SAND Institute" is barely even existent
other treasures i found when spelunking in the disgusting sewer known as """reddit""":
people saying the prop handcuffs were used because "they can't afford anything else" even thought the DPRK has fucking ballistic missiles
people saying the prop handcuffs were used because the citizens were too hungry to break them, or that the armed guards would shoot them if they tried to run, in that case, why the fuck are the handcuffs even there in the first place
people saying that pro dprk people would say kids deserved that, and then go watch a western movie (???)
This is like collective storytelling, people trying to make up the craziest stories they have with no evidence. This is how stuff like the Gulag Archipelago got written isn't it
