I love that Tumblr is exploding with arguments about age gaps, underage ships, dubcon, noncon and unhealthy relationships in every fandom...

And meanwhile the Spanish fandom just leans back and make stupid memes XD

Me, on chapter 18: That girl is so going to die. Sangwoo will probably kill her for berating Bum. Killing Stalking chapter 19: No shit Me: ...

SANGWOO MORE LIKE #SANGSHOOK

I Don't Like It

But that Bum may kill Sangwoo theory is really ringing in my head. It seems even more possible now after the events of chapter 19. Anyone else agree?

[lord-armitage]

I find Killing Stalking to be really interesting since it portrays how someone can dually be a victim yet also an abuser at the same time. We all feel a lot of empathy for Bum, not only for his current situation but also his backstory and mental state, yet in another situation he would certainly be the antagonist. He is obsessive and a serial stalker. 

Which is why I’m finding it really hard to understand how people can feel so betrayed after chapter 19, it’s not like Bum as lost his “smol bean precious cinnamon roll” status but that he never had it in the first place. 

I mean, did you read chapter 1? Before anyone knew that Sangwoo had no morality whatsoever, look what Bum was doing. He was obsessively trying to break into Sangwoo’s house for months and the first thing he does he try to masturbate on Sangwoo’s bed. 

As we learn from chapter 19, in his past, he told a rape victim that men were only interested in her for her breasts. It doesn’t matter that Bum opened up to her, she did not owe it to him to continue their friendship. She wasn’t seeing “smol bean precious cinnamon roll”, she was seeing someone who she had bonded with other their mutual abuse, then Bum became obsessive. He began insisting that they were dating, he stole things from her, he even knew what her bra size was. Then when confronted all he could focus on was her body. 

I love Bum’s character and I’m rooting for him, but c’mon he is not a good person himself and he never has been. He’s a deeply flawed person, a tragic figure, an unreliable narrator, and an amazing character, which is really everything you need for a horror webcomic to really stand out. Because of his mental state and his very petite build, he’s easy to woobify, but I think he’s a lot more interesting as the depraved stalker victim protagonist then the cinnamon roll

On disliking Jieun

Okay so what the fuck I dislike Jieun and was glad to see her go (something I am somewhat guilty about) but I resent that there are some people attributing dislike of Jieun to being solely “about the yaoi shipz”. I dislike Jieun, and it’s not about “the yaoi shipz”.

When Jieun was first introduced I really liked her. I liked her up until the very first panels of chapter 17 when she was… frankly a complete condescending asshole. My dislike grew when she literally told Bum "You have legs don't you? Walk home by yourself!" (even tho he's visibly on crutches), and was cemented when Sangwoo observed that she was the sort of person who’s probably had everything because she’s pretty. When he said that, I realized how right that sounded. She seems exactly like the sort of person who’s never been stepped on precisely because she’s so pretty, and that’s turned around and made her consciously unpleasant to others because of a sense of superiority. She’s the East Asian version of Regina George. And I really disliked her for that. 

A part of me was crowing in joy when Bum stabbed her 12 fucking times. I’m not proud of that, but I would like to get it straight that it’s not because of the shipz? People who aren’t neurotypical OR conventionally attractive, like Bum, and like me, have gone through hell in school because of people like Jieun People like Jieun make fun of “that weird depressed (or insert other descriptor of mental illness here) boy/girl who’s always in awful baggy sweaters”. So yes, I disliked Jieun because it hit a little close to home. So yes, seeing the person she dissed snap and kill her was cathartic as fuck. Sue me.

I automatically like any female character that enters a story that’s been male-dominated up till then (again, fucking sue me), so it’s definitely disappointing that she’s the first real female character we’re introduced to and she’s so awful? Up till chapter 17 I was like YAS QUEEN and then she turned out to be a Korean Regina George.

Srs

Ppl that are actually shaming Koogi about her own plot can gtfo. U mad because Ji Eun died and Bum killed her? Sob. It's not your story, and if you can't handle the plot get outta the book. Just because it's released in bits doesn't mean you have definite input into what the author creates. Going to her directly and asking her to change her story is mad disrespectful and an action full of self-entitlement. Clean the snot up, blow your nose, and have a good day.
