Comment by iread4pleasure on Kill Me Now - Chapter 6

I'm reading through this story for the first time. And it's fantastic so far. The art is beautiful and smart, the characters are memorable and distinct, and the chemistry between Mian and Haegu is sizzlin'. I'll be reading to the end. Huge fan.

BUT

There are some sadistic f*cks in the comments, which is worrying, so I'm here to give my two cents. To those who this comment applies: I hope your psychopathic f*tish is merely theoretical, a guttural plea for caveman justice that doesn't bleed over to how criminals IRL should actually be dealt with.

Yeah, that person probably did the unacceptable and vile r*pe that he is being tortured for. He is a gross piece of sh*t; no disagreements there. But the glorification of violence needs to be practiced with high caution. You don't want the government, much less an underground group of unaccountable assassins and torturers, having the power to do this to criminals.

The joy by which the torturer conducts their business is apparent and gross. It would be less worrying if they feign justice by keeping a stoic and detached persona, but, no, this is Friday night for them. The people, including the parents, who would watch the torture of a r*pist, are probably sick themselves and should not be walking freely in society. I'm not inclined to believe that the parents, who probably now live for the legacy of their dead children, would sit voyeuristically at a gruesome, inhumane torture of a p*do. It doesn't bring their children back to life nor does it prevent the r*pe and m*rder of other children but merely perpetuates the normalization of gross violence.
