Is this fucked up?

46% Normal

I recently learned about "columbiners" (fangirls of school shooters) and my first thought is "these girls are fucking stupid". out of curiosity I started reading about columbine shooting (I was like 8 when it happened so I didn't know much about it).

I started to feel like I can kind of understand the motivation. I'm not at all condoning that sort of thing, and I hate psychopaths but honestly I don't know if kids that young can be actual psychopaths and I just feel bad for them. I know they say the one guy was a legit psychopath but they say the other guy was just depressed as fuck and I feel like if he got help or proper friends he could've been a somewhat decent guy.

Anyway it's just interesting to me, and I also kind of don't see it as "real". I know it was real and that's horrible for people that were affected by it. but I started looking up like fanart of the guys, and now I wanna watch the fake movies made about it just to see the fake portrayal of them. it's not as disturbing that way.

I don't do this with any other killers or the recent shootings/bombings that have happened. those are more real to me due to how recent and I hate those guys. I hate legitimate psychopaths but I feel like some of these kids/people just needed someone to talk to and I feel bad for them and can kinda relate in that way.

Is that super fucked up or? IIN? I know i'm a dumb shit for thinking this way, but its like a guilty pleasure

Not everyone who has a troubled life decides to go kill a bunch of innocent people.

  I don't think it had much to do with their "life". people just process things in different ways

    And those who process things with violent behavior are locked away or sentenced to death.

Having a sort of morbid fascination with true crime and those who commit it isn't that abnormal, but once you slip into idolising the perpetrators like rock stars (like the columbiners do) you've gone too far.

Humanity is intrigued by brutality and death. It's just a morbid curiosity that I can't explain. I'm convinced that 98% of people confronted with a video that warned them of gruesome and disturbing images would still choose to view it. As far as your question, the way I see it... it's okay to empathize with the Columbine killers because they clearly had issues that we may or may not ever understand. However, if you sympathize with them, then no, that's not normal. They were cold blooded murderers of innocent people. Acknowledging that they had issues, and feeling sorry for them are two different things.

That is actually a very interesting point deserving of a psychological study. It reminds me of ISIS, in the sense of: What causes some girls to convert to Islam and to join a murderous cult? There must be more to it than just "love is blind and makes us behave illogically". Psychopaths seem to have something to them that attracts a certain kind of people.

I don't know if hate is the appropriate emotion for psychopaths, though. Should we lock them up (some would even say: eliminate) forever, to make life safer? Sure. But hating them is like hating a crocodile for being a crocodile. They do what is in their nature.

  It's exciting. Most psychopathic males are also alpha males. Back in prehistoric times the term "psychopathic" didn't exist and the strongest, most assertive, most violent male won the mating rights to the most females. Females even competed for the alpha's attention and were even willing to share him with other women, even if perfectly suitable beta providers were available.
  
  Women still behave this way. We just have a more organized society today. This is how we evolved as a species, the non-committal, mysterious, showing only very slight romantic interest man is far more intriguing to the average female than the overly emotional, "sensitive" beta. To deny this is to deny the actual nature of women.

It should be a wake-up call on just how little logic and sense play a role in attraction.

    It used to until I accepted women as how they are. Every man goes sure a period of bitterness when he learns the nature of attraction, but it's important to suffer through it.

      "I accepted women as how they are"
      
      Sounds like you haven't finished "suffer[ing] through it" yet, but have found a comfortable resting place. Good luck on completing your journey sir

        It seems more like he actually knows what he is talking about. Any man in his 30's and above, that has at least a reasonable amount of experience with women will agree with this. Women aren't genetically programmed to return the same amount of love to men that men provide to women. It's all a myth and a lie that women are the more "sensitive" gender.
        
        Women are genetically programmed to carefully watch interactions between males so that when a new alpha emerges or takes over more social status they immediately are attracted to that. Sure there are exceptions to this, but this is the rule of thumb. Exceptions only reinforce the rule. Women are programmed to do this, they can't be any different. Most don't even realize when they do it and I almost certainly will get downvoted for saying this.
        
        It's why so many men are confused that when they "settled down" with marriage or stopped being competitive in regards to attention to other women and solely gave their attention to a single woman, that same single woman, more often than not rebuffed them, especially so if the woman was still pretty/young. When you hear of a woman complaining "that the spark is gone", this is what she is referring to.
        
        This is all programmed in our DNA, it's impossible to change it. Most people never even realize they behave this way.

        Source?
        
        So you're saying that the columbine shooters were "alpha"? how come most women aren't attracted to them, then?

  I agree. There was someone (might have been Vladimir Levi) who said: "Love is injustice in its absolute form."

I honestly doubt that anyone really is a fangirl of a school shooter besides maybe some psycho chicken who can't tell her hands apart without biting them. Because that's so, so not normal.
