    Yeah my issue is that it often comes packed together. I go to these serial killer documentaries and I see comments praising the serial killers intellect or something stupid. And to your point, it’s the mysticism that bothers me the most, these people are not that different than that shitty narcissist you personally know and hate, its just that they took up killing as a hobby. And here is my point, killing doesn’t make them special, most people are capable of killing and governments normalize it all the time. It’s shocking to us, sure, but for me it’s no different than the narcissist that spends time screwing over people in other ways. In my eyes it’s the same basic psychological mechanism at play.

      i myself find specifically unsufferable the people who describes them as those like unstoppable force of nature like they are some apex predatores, a tough fighter.

      My brother in christ, the overarching tendency of all the victims of serial killer is that they tend to be small framed women and fucking children. They always take the easiest victims in the whole area
