Serial killer fangirls

[*Asterisk*]

Jeremy is about a suicide, not a murder.

I actually read up on this.

I was wrong. You were right. Learn something new every day, I guess.

It wasn't about a mass murder. It was about a chronically depressed kid that shot himself in front of his class. Vedder wrote it partly out of an attempt to express what the kid was going through and partly to discourage people from doing things like that.

Yeah, same for you as @AnOminous.

I grew a long beard covered in ice.

Don't worry, that is what all the young dudes are rocking nowadays!

Holy fuck, Nevada-tan.

This brings back some memories of 4chan back in the day.

I legit did not know this was a thing. Ta.

There's a reason for this confusion. The original Jeremy music video has a shot where Jeremy puts the gun barrel in his mouth. After Columbine, MTV inexplicably censored just that shot, but kept the following shot with blood all over the students, so it was no longer clear.

There's a timeline of the events that led up to Jeremy's suicide.

Here someone interviewed a former employee of the school. TL;DR Jeremy was placed in isolation (ISS) for over a month before the suicide, almost immediately after arriving at this new school. The punishment was imposed after Jeremy's locker was searched (apparently because he had a record of psychiatric issues, and just got out of a psychiatric hospital). "Some items that were apparently not illegal but considered controversial were found".

'Controversial Items' suggests to me something like a couple dirty magazines, condoms or dildos. If there was anything truly disturbing in that locker, then giving the boy ISS (and not banning him from school property) was an asinine and reckless decision.

Not really sure if he's yet been posted,
but Issei Sagawa weirdly boasted
a pop star career after he roasted
some poor student he graciously hosted

I don't know much about him, but wasn't he basically the real-life version of Dandy from American Horror Story (wealthy family, coddled by his mother, prone to tantrums, etc.)?

Maybe, but not as far as I'm aware. He was really weak and sickly and at least some of what motivated him to kill that girl was a belief that it'd lead to him being healthier and stronger.

Honestly, I feel like quite a few of these fangirls don't actually know the details of the murders the killers they idolize committed. They don't strike me as the type of people who would actually read books or watch documentaries on the subject, unlike people who do so because they're interested in true crime.

Maybe they know the general gist of a serial killer's (or serial killers') modus operandi and their victim count, but I doubt they've actually done any extensive research. Like, it's probably easier to draw cute animu pictures of Jeffery Dahmer if you don't know that he experimented with making the perfect sex slave by drilling holes into men's (and sometimes boys') skulls and injecting fucking acid into them.

The truth is stranger than fiction, and the truth is repellent to dumb DA fangirls.

At least one of them knew that, as they drew him with a drill.

I'd assume or at least hope that some or most of these people are drawing stuff like this for the humor of the stark contrast between the cutesy style and the actual subject of the drawing.

Slightly off topic, isn't he the one Vice did an interview with?

On topic, this shit is getting crazier and crazier. Actually sent links to some of the Hitler/Nazi fandom stuff to a few of my German friends (who are all chill and NOT offended by WWII stuff). They all facepalmed.

Also to whoever it was that said a few pages back about idolizing fictional killers, just remembered how much I had a thing for Alex from A Clockwork Orange when I first watched the film.

 

[An Ounce of Vagina]

I've seen so much messed up crap online that this does not shock me as much as it should. Most of the fans are little girls with Daddy issues.

What shocks me are the people, grown ass adults as a matter of fact, in the media and online who side with savage killers like Christopher Dorner, Casey Anthony or Jodi Arias not because they're "cute" but SORELY because they're women or minorities. How the hell does just justify their actions? And enough with the slavery and male patriarchy nonsense. That rhetoric excuses nothing.

Tumblr believes that actions in of themselves are neutral, it's the person doing the action that gives it morality. And since only WhiteMaleCisHeteroScum can do evil, if a woman or person of color does something it is automatically right, no exceptions.

Best case scenario, they get disemboweled and hung in a dark basement.

Fixed that for you. They're right up there with anti-vaxers and climate denialists. People the world would be better off without.

Fun fact: Ted Bundy would carry around plaster arm and leg casts, slings and crutches crutches in his Volkswagen Beetle so he could wear them and trick victims into thinking he was some injured guy who needed help carrying stuff to his car. Once they got near the car he would beat them with a blunt object and handcuff them while he sexually assaulted them.

Something tells me these ladies in this thread would be honored to have that happen to them, though.

There's a whole slew of this shit on Etsy. View it for yourself, or just check these below:

WHY? WHAT? WHY THE FUCK!?

 

[Pinball Lizard]

Is there any overlap between fanboys/girls of these people and the conspiracy theorist crowd that believe they were framed? I know there are people who think Holmes and Tsarnaev's crimes were actually perpetrated by the government.

There are also people who think the world is flat and that the round earth idea was thought of for the sake of selling globes. I guess what im saying here is dumbfuckery is not an uncommon thing.

I suppose you could compare it to fangirls' interests in stuff like Doctor Who and Sherlock - they (mostly) don't care much about its history and are only in it for the hot actors. Not that serial killers are particularly good looking...
On another note, if people think it's socially acceptable to draw fanart of murderers, what'll happen next? Slash fic of Jimmy Savile?

i doubt it, the fact that they are serial killers seems to be the whole point
