Guys you didnt complain about ks s content when it s litteraly called killing stalking rig...

I mean KS isn’t even Bl nor was it making the SA scenes out to look good

Uhm.. KS is most definitely a BL.

No it’s not… the author literally said it theirselves. Takes one google search.

It’s psychological horror

See thats where the error is. I know what the Author said however it does fit the exact requirements to be a BL. It technically is a BL though

Also on top of that it takes one Google search for you to see that is technically is a BL.

How..

It’s not Bl. Bl is boys love, romance. Killing stalking is psychological horror, not romance. Just because two men had sex which technically most sex scene was literally rape, it doesn’t make it BL. Yoonbum had Stockholm syndrome and Sangwoo was a murderer. The only reason it was tagged as Bl was so it could get attention and as you can see people love mistaking it for Bl when it’s not.

Stolkholm Syndrome is where a victim who's experienced traumatic experiences (kidnapping) from their offender "mistake" love and or strong affection. - Yoonbum

On the other hand Sangwoo loved him in a twisted way. From the fact that he could easily manipulate him and get away with it and since we are going by the Author. She said herself that he began to love him but he had already done so much and he didn't know how to properly express his love. - Sangwoo

Now that we have the basics down that they both technically loved each other. Like you said BL means boy love or romance. There was romance there it wasn't the main tag but it's like when action has a small romance scene. The tag romance still can go under the action book. Also BL does not mean sex or rape if that's what you're insinuating.

That's why I said it fits the categories of a BL technically. I hope that makes it better to understand.

I'd also like to add Yoonbum started off liking Sangwoo...

That’s not romance at all. And I already know what Stockholm syndrome is if I didn’t I wouldn’t have brought it up. They didn’t love each other. Yoonbum had a mental illness. He was a literally stalker in the beginning. He had an obsession with Sangwoo. Also sangwoo das is mother in yoonbum at times. Yes he was manipulative. Even if it was love it would’ve been toxic. But it was not love. Nor was it romance I kinda don’t know what you think romance is… it was supposed to be tagged as psychological horror. And no I didn’t say Bl is sex or rape, Bl is boys love/romance. And where did the author say that they loved each other? I already had a discussion on this with someone else. Yeah it was/possibly is love but it wasn’t a normal love there’re different versions of love. It was toxic and it was an obsession, not a normal one.

He didn’t like him he was obsessed with him.. he stalked him.. that’s not a normal crush.. that’s an obsession. It’s literally psychological horror. That’s not a normal ‘BL’ or ‘romance’. Why do you think so many came back under the comments asking for people to take the Yaoi tag away. Yaoi is not made anymore and the story wasn’t Bl. It was two men which could’ve probably made it smut but it was only rape. The story was actually good because it didn’t romanticize or make the rape look good. That’s the whole reason I brought it up too because this story seems like the typical Bl that’ll make SA look ‘hot’ or ‘sexy’ when KS is completely different and doesn’t sexualize SA. That’s why the two can’t be compared. I don’t really care if y’all think it’s Bl. I’m just saying the two can’t be compared.

Saw*

There’s many different versions saying it is and saying that it isn’t.

So you kind of ruined your claim by saying "Even if it was love it would've been toxic" and "Yeah it was/possibly is love but it wasn't a normal love there're different versions of love. It was toxic and it was obsession, not a normal one." If you know that BL is boys love and if you've read not even a lot of BL or just romance in general you would know that it doesn't have to be healthy to be romance. They had a toxic awful relationship but they still had a romantic relationship. Just because it's not fluff and is phycological you know like the tags say does not mean it's not romance.

I agree with you on the last part completely. Like if you search up Lima Syndrome then you would know it's essentially the opposite of Killing Stalking or "Stolkholm Syndrome"

Yeah ig you're right about that part. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Mhm yeah I was reading an old discussion and that’s technically what I said about it being able to be toxic love. So at the end I rephrased it. There can be different versions of Bl as you put it such as unhealthy relationships. In my eyes it’s not romance because of the fact all I see is an obsession and not actual love. Stalkers have an obsession if they have to go to that extent. And because of the fact Yoonbum also has a mental illnesss, I’m sure sangwoo does also, but it doesn’t look like love at all.

I wouldn’t group KS with romance. Usually when you’d think of romance it’ll be an actual love story. I think of romance and psychological horror as two different things genre wise, because they are, but they both can be grouped in BL ofcourse. They may have had a connection but it was toxic like I had already said. I feel like they had this unhealthy attachment and in KS Sangwoo had already said in one chapter that he wasn’t gay. He was only misogynistic because of his mother, so he couldn’t sleep it with women, and his only targets were women I’m pretty sure. That’s probably why he had sex with Yoonbum. I don’t feel like he was capable of loving Yoonbum. He was using him and manipulating him.

I do take back saying it’s not BL because it can be grouped into BL, and you’re right. It’s just not the romance side of BL. I also said it wasn’t BL because I’m pretty sure the author did say multiple times it wasn’t BL and only psychological horror. So I agree with you but at the same time I wouldn’t necessarily call it romance or call it BL just incase the author isn’t comfortable with it. I’ll have to look up and see how the author does feel about that.

But yeah I only brought that up because of the random comparison. I can see why people are mad at this story because looking at the first chapter the way they made the SA was not okay. But KS ofcourse is completely different.

I’ll search it up

Lima syndrome is actually really interesting. I honestly do think KS was Stockholm syndrome and not Lima syndrome. But Lima syndrome is interesting.
