Why are people obsessed with lunatics?


Especially men like him or Hannibal Lecter, seems like keeping Serial Killers alive is wrong. I don't care about their childhoods or whatever trauma they endured or what is their reasons for it. You might as well excuse people for killing spiders because they suffer from arachnophobia.

Maybe ppl are curious or trying to understand what makes these demons act thier barbaric behaviour, or what possesses them to do the things they do.

WOW and I repeat it, who cares and who would want to know? It is like they rather know that then care about the victims and their families.

Different tastes. Matter of opinion. Though I see where you're coming from.

I can't see where the OP is coming from at all. Seems like a nutjob to me.

Comparing Hannibal Lecter to Albert Fish? Really? Gee, one is a fictional character, the other is not. How can you compare the two?

Then there is the even more nutty line:

You might as well excuse people for killing spiders because they suffer from arachnophobia.

I don't even know how to respond to that... Other than, NUTJOB!! I wasn't aware anyone actually needed an excuse to kill a spider. It's a SPIDER. Do you cry if you accidentally step on an ant?

There is also a major difference between obsession and general curiosity.

You know, I don't understand why people become obsessed over celebrities. I mean, after all, they ARE just people at the end of the day. There really is nothing special about 99% of them. Does that mean it's wrong? Most of the time, no, it doesn't. The creepy stalkers are pretty wrong, but most of the time it doesn't matter. But why waste time asking why people are obsessed with anything?

lol indeed she is a nut job she acts like she was the victim of a serial killer by how she so strongly talks about this lol

When we stop trying (even if it's impossible to be successful) to understand "lunatics," we definitely will become ruled by them.
