Sup, girl! I have seen how you've swam in a different direction from the crowd and I'm just saying that I AM PROUD. To tell you honestly, the KS fandom, in my opinion, is too immature. It's not only about not being open to opinions from the minority but also not contemplating on how it would feel to be in a similar situation in the story. KS is supposed to be horror story, not an erotica or romantic novel. Justifying the sick shit there is so wrong. I read it because YOLO, not because I ship it.
I think that everyone has a different taste and nobody’s taste is better than other’s (unless it’s problematic).
It’s ok if you like KS but what’s not ok is glorifying an abusive relationship.
It was pretty gross when I got into KS (because a follower told me about it) and found out that most of the people in the fandom are ~shipping~ the hunk and the twink.
The hunk abuses the twink in every way possible and yet people are like ~they look so cute together~ and excusing the hunk’s behaviour because he has mommy issues he’s cute?.
Some people would literally lose their ass over a mediocre conventionally attractive looking white boy (that’s why so many mediocre conventionally attractive looking white boys are the lead in so many movies even when the movie is about THE GREAT WALL OF CHINA AND IT IS SET IN CHINA IN ANCIENT TIMES YET THE LEAD IS A CAUCASIAN MEDIOCRE CONVENTIONALLY ATTRACTIVE LOOKING WHITE BOY WHEN THE REST OF THE CAST IS CHINESE OR OF CHINESE HERITAGE?!!11!?).
If you like KS because it’s horror, you like the art, etc it’s totally ok.
In my opinion KS is just a lame and cheap webcomic with a shock value story that gets really predictive, boring and cliché very soon. However, the fact that I don’t like it doesn’t mean it’s bad just like when I like things doesn’t mean they’re any better.
We need to respect each other’s tastes but what the KS fandom (not everyone but most does) is doing by romanticizing and glorifying this toxic and by all means wrong relationship is just awful.
A lot of people are suffering from that shit ffs.
Before I finish I want to say that A FANDOM DOESN’T DEFINE THE PEOPLE IN IT, the fact that most people of a fandom act in a certain way doesn’t mean everyone in that fandom is like that so I’m not calling out the KS fandom but the people in it who are problematic and worshipping what’s wrong.
I’m sure there are people in the KS who don’t ship or glorify and acknowledge the problematic situation and just like other aspects of KS.
To the rest of the fandom:
