Honestly that’s what we first thought as well, that it’d just be an archive of serial killers’ history (because we do find crime history to be intriguing) but nope…

So many of these people believe that they’re girlfriends of ghosts/spirits of famous murderers–they call it being ‘twin flames’. I wonder WHY they always discover that their twin soul is some famous murderer, and not a lonely fisher from Cambodia….

It’s not just teen girls that are into this, but grown 20-something year old women. *shurg*

But remember, women went insane over Richard Ramirez (the infamous ‘Night Stalker’). One of his crazy fans even married him (and also landed herself in prison along with him), and threatened to commit suicide when he was executed. I even recall reading one of the responses she wrote to the fan mail that she and Richard all received, saying that it’s some kind of injustice to have him imprisoned for life due to his hard upbringing. I mean yeah it sucked he didn’t get a better life, and that could have prevented him from becoming a serial killer, but that doesn’t excuse his actions. So he must face the consequences.

She and Richard separated before he died of lymphoma, though.

Because of some strange goings on during his trial and the nature of his crimes, some people thought he was legitimately demonic–rumors that he was possessed or was the devil in disguise. If his crimes were current, I cannot imagine the ~*~edge~*~ on tumblr.

I just don’t get this at all. A lot of these men seem sweet and charming during interviews because they are sociopaths; there’s a chilling undercurrent to that charm. There are even female fans of Jeffrey Dahmer, and he was gay. Do they think he would have wanted them?

There’s a difference between finding something intriguing, or full-on fetishizing it for the sake of ~*~edge~*~ points. Personally, I found the case of Adam Lanza quite intriguing, given the whole ‘being refused treatment for his Asperger’s diagnosis by his gun-loving mother’ (who became his first kill, oh the irony). I think the relationship between his untreated diagnoses, and his secluded way of living/background in relation to what he did, is interesting and worth consideration–but not to the point of wanting to masturbate to it….

I think if any of these girls really met up with their idols in some alternate universe, they’d turn tail and run. The ones that don’t, probably deserve what they get.

Being attracted to the unknown, the dangerous, the risky – it’s a natural thing humans do. That’s why freak shows existed, why America’s First Nations people were paraded through Europe, etcetera. The different, the unknown. It’s why girls chose Fonzie over Richie, for example.

History shows us that there have been camp followers for almost every major male movement. Whether it’s women following armies or women attracted to men imprisoned, it happens. In most cases, this is harmless fantasizing, like how we imagine Assassins or Templar characters to ravish us on beaches, in the forests, in boudoirs, or basically anywhere it works out.

It becomes harmful when people begin being unable to separate reality from their idealized fantasies.
