Sorry, guys! During system maintenance, some functions like comment are unavailable.
Let's discuss psychopaths as objectively as possible
So as many of you know, Killing Stalking is just about to end. SPOILER: the psycho guy dies. One of the things that people in the chaotic comment section argues about is whether or not the guy deserved to die.
How should people deal with psychopaths? It's a biological flaw, right? Something is different and wrong with their brains. A superficial google search tells us that psychopathy is a brain wiring dysfunction. Psychopaths lack empathy and have a poor sense of preservation, which make them not care too much/ at all about the consequences of their actions. Oftentimes, they are very narcissistic, and like instant rewards for their actions.
So we can't blame psychopath babies for being born with the brain they have, can we? They're not inherently evil, they're just wired differently. And it's true, many criminals are found to be psychopaths. But I've also read articles about people diagnosed with it who successfully and continuously receive help, and are living their lives normally. I'm trying to be a neutral as possible here. What if I have a child someday, and I notice him exhibiting psychopatic behaviors?
I guess the responsible thing to do is for parents to seek for professional help when their kids are acting all sorts of crazy. Pay attention to them and all that.
But what about those psychopaths that don't have attentive parents? What about those that grew up in abusive homes? There are plenty of criminals who didn't even know they're psychopaths. Make no mistake, Im not saying psychopaths shouldn't be punished based on their wrongdoings. Fuck no. Biological flaw or not, they can still choose to not do something. Let's go back to Killing Stalking, and take Sang Woo as an example. Say he wasnt injured in the fire and was able to face a trial.
How should he be punished? There's no question about him being jailed, he fucking deserved it. But should he be subjected to death penalty? I thought maybe he should serve his lifetime sentence in a facility where he can also get treatment. There are existing laws about sentencing people with mental illness, afterall. But what do you guys think?
DUUUUUUUUUDE Y'ALL HAVE A VERY *VERY* DISTORTED AND KINDA ROMANTIC DELUSION WITH PSYCHOPATHS -tho I can't blame you since pop culture has done a lot of hurt-.
I'm gonna try and make it as simple as possible bc this shit is long and confusing af. Let me get my psychology degree notes heh.

There's psycopaths and sociopaths: psycopaths, on one hand, are born that way, there's no solving or teaching them how to empathize nor feel for others. But there's also sociopaths, those ones are made: extreme abuse, neglect or poor affective growing enviroment causes this, and these people can still have a chance to feel for some people (they ar...... 2 reply
POV from a Psychopath : Ok, I hadn't planned on making a mangago account but i did just to answer this question.
I'll start off by saying I haven't been reading Killing Stalking specifically BECAUSE I try to avoid things that could trigger me. (Oddly tv shows about murder and etc are fine so long as the perp gets caught by the end of the episode a...... 5 reply

It's a strange feeling to see people discuss your condition and try to decide if you have the right to live and get a treatment or not
it's tiring enough to try every day to be normal
Even if i go to a professional doctor this is something that can't be treated
The only thing that can be done is to receive a good education about differentiating b...... 4 reply
Many psychopaths that committed crimes were found to have brain damages/dysfunctions.
A famous case is Charles J. Whitman. On August 1, 1966, he used knives to kill his mother and his wife in their respective homes, then went to the University of Texas in Austin with multiple firearms and began indiscriminately shooting at people. It was later dis...... reply

I learned from an Abnormal Psychology course a few years back that there's not an actual term for being a "psychopath" or "sociopath," though they can be described by personality disorders. I am learning from a different psychology class that personality is developed through childhood and is relatively stable after about age 30. So, yes, no one is ...... reply
