omggg that's my thoughts exactly!!
even though I find his actions despicable, I'm not so keen on... hating him, or quickly condemning him - the same way you wouldn't condemn a child, or someone who has a mental disability. his actions are disgusting to us, but he doesn't seem to understand why, and that's really what I find interesting. he is completely convinced his actions are rightful, and doesn't seem to grasp that other people feel repulsed by it.
It looks to me like something in his past completely ruined his education and socialization - thus making him develop this sick and twisted sense of justice. his thwarted morals aren't just a decoration, they're a key part of this story, and honestly the very single thing that keeps me from dismissing him as just another psycho top. he's such an interesting character istg.
(disclaimer: I'm not justifying him or his actions cuz at the end of the day he's still responsible for them!! I'm just really interested in knowing the reasons why he turned out like this; I don't hate him because I find him interesting and also because if he really is a product of a sick environment - as I suppose -, then he's a victim just as much as he's a killer.)
Nahhhh, he literally killed the fam of the doc… a mother and two children, maybe even more than that. And if you kill women and children ur dead to me… hope they get a good plan to take revenge on him. Fuck him and hes not a victim he is a strong ass man using his advantages in a opportunity of an apocalyptic world to play puppet theaters with human beings. Trust me he knows exactly what he is doing, he moved into this town first, created the “stage”, went out to find “puppets”, kills everyone who seems not useful to him but is emotionally important to others, with that trapping and controlling the people he takes with a mixture of installing fear and using the weakness of the survival instinct these people have in these scenarios. “He doesn’t know that its wrong” is not an excuse but actually THE problem. He is not like a child just an evil crazy smart dumbass, a psycho a sociopath idk clearly a threelegged idiot who should die at the end of this for the story to be good then (Good enough for me)
hi!! I totally get what you mean and I think it's so cool we have totally different interpretations of his character!! I obviously was just stating a theory of mine, I totally didn't mean in any way to diminish or brush aside all the harm and the evil that he's done. Obviously, to me, he *would* be a victim if things went according to my theory of severe childhood abuse/neglect. This still doesn't take away the fact that he murdered people in cold blood and that he's still responsible for his actions, even if they come from a thwarted world view. Same way a schizophrenic guy who killed somebody bc of his condition might get a reduced sentence, but is still responsible for the crime.
But your point of view is really interesting and eye-opening!! I'm looking forward to see who is right out of the two of us, eheh <3 have an amazing day!! ヾ(☆▽☆)
tbh, this is one of the more interesting stories i've read. it's conflicting.. like you know guwon has a fucked up sense of humanity but you're not sure if he just doesn't have that at all or if he needs to learn it? like how a child needs to get taught right from wrong.
it also intrigues me that we know nearly nothing about guwon at all. why doesn't he have any memories? what was his life before this? why does he do the things he does? who put these ideas in his head to uphold these "rules"? like yeah he's hot and sexy but damn if it were me i'd run away n just kill myself somewhere else
