I haven't read killing stalking yet but it suuuuure is innnnteresting how ppl are scrutinizing an indie woman made, free comic harder than the entire Hollywood SAW franchise.
Sopaper Nibfdvt
Surely it'd get just as much scrutiny under a million dollar budget and cis male producer
Sopaper Nibfdvt
Like, I'm not into gore porn but I wish kids would maybe consider why they hold people to different standards
Sopaper Nibfdvt
Especially putting the stricter ones on those with fewer resources

^^^ that in a nutshell
Sopaper Nibfdvt
If you're gonna let cis dudes make fucked up shit, well
buccellati
killing stalking is like the kind of ultimate squick story for me but would anyone treat it different if it were, like you said a male-produced, large budget piece of media, like a hollywood horror film?
Sopaper Nibfdvt
It's just fucked up to see a goddamn web comic treated like a moral litmus test
Sopaper Nibfdvt
As if it had the cultural reach and influence of star wars or Lord of the rings

I'm under the weather and already cranky from yesterday

I got put on a rebloggable long block list because of Killing Stalking.

Said something along the lines that I hope people make coffee shop AUs specifically because it will piss Puritan Polly off. Someone replied that was horrible and problematic to romanticize the characters' relationship.

I replied like I hadn't read any of their response and wondered out loud whether Bum's canon creeper behavior would mean that he'd be awful enough to nut into Sangwoo's latte if he were the barista in this scenario.

Pearl clutching and wailing about the deviance of online predators like myself ensued.
Sopaper Nibfdvt
Lmaooooo
Sopaper Nibfdvt
Would that you were truly the nadir of Internet predators and problematic web comics were as bad as abuse actually gets
Sopaper Nibfdvt
I genuinely wish we lived in the reality of Tumblr kids and conservatives
Sopaper Nibfdvt
Where black folks have equal opportunity, global warming isn't real, and the world is so at peace that fictional shipping qualifies as an actual problem

BTW, it's definitely not romance or even gore porn, really, though there is some violence.
(∩｀-´)⊃━✨️ BIZ
It's more like psychological horror with gorgeous art and attractive men.

I mean, I get the ~abusive~ angle, sort of ,but why did you read something called fuckin Killingstalking and then get your boyshorts in a twist about how it depicts relationships
Kurrkat Vantas
I think consumers are likely to notice for themselves that the actions the characters take aren't conducive to loving partnerships

that's even sadder, I haven't read it but I thought it was a relationship

-young teens who need to feel 'good' about themselves and don't have the experience to pull back, feeling like this crusade means they are GOOD and giving them confidence, not self aware to see they are being bullies and harrassing people like they themselves probably are/feel they are in rl
lucineblue
- Older people who should know better, but do not, who thrive on being right, and are over all toxic/accusatory using the echo chamber effect on tumblr to harass and intimidate, thriving on the cult of personality to control those who look to the loudest

I mean, they're in a "relationship" but in no way is it ever portrayed as healthy or acceptable
The Ø Fool
KS just lays it out on the table as this fucked up thing between two very fucked up people
The Ø Fool
I don't know how anyone looked at it and went "omg this is a relationship and people will think this is okay and healthy!!"
The Ø Fool
on the basest level I also don't know how people went into something called Killing Stalking and expected healthy relationships
The Ø Fool
Dead dove, do not eat
The Ø Fool
and I mean, yeah, there are cringy teens in the fandom going through their edgy BL phase but that doesn't mean they're going to get older and think locking someone in their basement is a good idea bc KS taught them how to relationship and that idea is laughable at best

what do you mean kidnapping isn't romantic
Sopaper Nibfdvt
but fragile little female minds can't tell fiction from reality!!!!!

I certainly took all my dating advice from Scream back in high school
