Unko-san, an anime with characters made of poo, might offend Koreans

For todays “wtf” moment, I turn to this odd article on a new anime called Unko-san, which apparently is about poo and Korean stereotypes.

What do you expect? When there is an anime revolving around poop people you know there is going to be an uproar. Especially when one of their poop towns people resembles a stereotype of your culture. Koreans suggest that a character named “Kim Ben” (“Ben” is a pun on the Japanese character for excrement), who loves kimchee, has narrow eyes and is “easily angered,”.
