Is it normal that i end up loving the killer?

Ok, so ever since I was watching movies, romanticizing things or rather "shipping", I would end up making probably the worst couples or shipping a relationship in a unhealthy way, I would find myself loving the killer or anti hero of the story/show/movie, and the more "evil" they are, I would feel a stronger attraction to them. I wouldn't consider myself evil, quite the opposite of the guys I like in the shows and movies I'm talking about, but I still feel an intense attraction for them. I love Dr. Lecter from the show Hannibal, Ramsay from Game of thrones, even the anti hero of dead pool, and I can't even remember their name. Something about their violent behavior whether it be obsessive, abusive, turns me on. And I'm not talking like I romanticize the relationship into something lighter and fluffy, I understand that it is unhealthy but still feel attracted to them. Such as the joker. He's a psychopath who doesn't actually love or care about others, and it makes me love him. What's wrong with me? Is this normal? Does anyone else feel this way or experience it as strongly as I do?

    Keep it fictional and you should be ok.

    Very normal to enjoy/love fictional villains. I absolutely loved/hated Ramsay. Other favorites include Joker, Anton Chigurh, Keyser Soze etc. Having said that I know I love the idea of these characters and that IRL I'd support them all being put down.

    I can't tell if you're confusing the appeal/intrigue of these characters as a sexual/romantic attraction. Surely you're not so obsessed with them that you beat off to their monstrous personalities?

      I agree completely with if they existed in real life being put away, and it's more of a sexual thing. I wouldn't romanticize the way these characters act and are, after all they are killers, some worse than others. But I do feel sexually attracted to some of them definitely. I mean it's hard not to, since they've portrayed a lot of these characters with handsome actors in movies and shows. But I think I wouldn't be interested in them as much as I am now if they weren't twisted/ villainous.

    What do you think of Jared Leto as the Joker in Suicide Squad?

      I think that he's super hot, and they've softened his characters relationship with Harley more, not showing as much of a abusive character although he still is. I always liked the joker more than any other characters existing in Gotham, but I feel they wanted to make him attractive in the movie as the actor they chose fits him quite nicely. I loved his acting and damn. He's just perfect for the joker.
