here is why my sweet psycho baby is the most horrifying yaoi ever

arguably the only bl with the most well written unhinged seme in the whole of the history of contemporary bl. the writer has taken a master class when it comes to writing psychotic tops. yall think sangwoo from killing stalking or dohun from unchanged man are the most dangerous people you’ve ever known, but a psycho who can make your anus prolapse from laughter at sheer absurdity is even more dangerous. while we’re distracted pooping ourselves from the ridiculousness, we then become more complacent and easier into accepting the underlying horrors that continuously occurs throughout the entire story.

the seme in this manhwa is so adept at changing faces and manipulation that he has even fooled us readers into thinking he’s the definition of a dumb blond, but he’s the opposite of a dumb blond. in the moments we least expect it, we see a version of himself that’s reflective of the true danger of this manhwa—and it is the seme himself. he’s the kind of guy who’d piss his pants and fall into a ditch filled with poop and run out into the middle of the road and stay naked most of the time and gets beaten up black and blue by the uke most chapters (btw, he actually did all these things) just to lower both ours and the uke’s guard. when we look at these chain of incidents, we only see a mentally ill person, but this is what the seme has wanted all along. he has no sense of self-preservation, dignity, or shame, and that is exactly what makes him so terrifying because think about it, even a psycho like ilay from passion would never reduce himself to a laughingstock for the sake of his plan, but the seme here willingly acts brain-dead just to manipulate us

the most dangerous of all is the fact that we don’t know much about the man except the fact that he went through a history of abuse. the scariest is that we don’t know when he began to even plot on the uke—had been known the uke way before everything started? if so.. then everything had been a carefully crafted plan.. a trap.. to slowly goad the uke into a Stockholm syndrome type relationship…

To conclude, the seme wants to keep give us, including the bottom, the illusion of humour so that we don’t peer through the comedy on the bare surface to comprehensively fathom the true horror that goes on in the manhwa. like a wolf that hides under the fleece of a sheep, my sweet psycho baby plays the preposterous comedic relief so us readers don’t realize the depth of the horrific reality this manhwa details. there has been numerous studies that humour is sometimes used as a tool of deflection and aggression (which is where the meme of the fbi using humour on tiktok comes from). when we laugh, we no longer see the seriousness, and without the legitimacy, the seme secretly escapes our radar and is free to do as he pleases. that is why he’s not even paired up in the deranged seme trio including Caesar, Zhenya and Ilya. He is more terrifying than all three of them combined.

The uke doesn’t even realize it himself he’s a victim of abuse and Stockholm syndrome, and we readers don’t realize it as well because we’ve all been fooled by the sheer absurdity to actually peer through its comedic filter. We don’t want to do media analysis of yaoi, we just want to laugh, just as a philosopher once famously said. And that is why my sweet psycho baby is the most terrifying yaoi to ever exist
