why am I attracted to mentally insane characters (black flags)?
i am very much intrigued and attracted to black flags, characters who are irredeemable psychotic beings. when i say black flags, i dont mean rapists exclusively. not rapists. but people who are just so clinically insane that their moral compass is broken and skewed or simply doesn't exist. which makes them borderline uninterested in romance sometimes. eg. dan from brutal satsujin, oh inseop from for your murder, amy dunne from gone girl, sukuna from jujutsu kaisen. and the thing is, their attractiveness is extreme to me BECAUSE they're insane. the moment they become "human", i lose interest. why is it so?
It's because they're physically attractive. If they were ugly, you'd be disturbed by them and their actions, I don't think there's truly any deeper reason to liking them.
And this isn't to shit on you or call you shallow, by the way, it happens to me too. Not being a hypocrite, just saying how it is. 1 reply
It’s bcs they’re fictional. You wouldn’t be attracted to these types irl, but since they’re fake, ur allowed to enjoy these types of personalities + how they look is a big factor too. Also, evil characters are more interesting and appealing because they’re usually more complex and less one dimensional than ur basic good or human character...... reply
Thats pretty common tho. Lots of people love and enjoy villians. Esp compelling ones. Theres tons of well beloved villians in cinema or series.
Edit: oh wait. You meant attraction? Hmm like youre crushing on them? Some villians are very charismatic and had good looks. Maybe thats why. Haha 1 reply
To answer your question, it's because of the environment you grew up with or early exposure to violent media without any guidance or supervision from adult. I don't want to publically say, what kind of trauma might be the reason too. It's personal matter of yours. And You lose interest in them because now they seem more human and one who is not mys...... 2 reply
