Serial Killer Fascination
« on: Tue, 06 June 2017, 08:45:29 »
Is anyone else here interested in serial killers?

I lived near the home town of a sort of little known but very prolific serial killer, Donald 'PeeWee' Gaskins, and the subject was talked about a lot in my area. Always sparked my interest to look into other killers, and it made my love for horror movies a little stronger.

I listen to a ton of podcasts about this stuff and watch all the documentaries I can find.

Not the best thing to be interested in, just wanted to see if there were any like minded people around here.

Recently watched a few documentaries on the art that serial killers make while in prison and send to people who write them. There's a man, whose name escapes me, that makes art and sends it to an art dealer who then sells the works and donates the money to a charity that helps families affected by the loss of loved ones due to killers. His stuff's actually really cool and I need to find it again.

I think serial killers are interesting but unless I happen to catch a documentary on TV I don't look into the subject too much.

I did really enjoy Dexter though, even though the show did start to decline after season 4.
People in the 1980s, in general, were clearly just better than we are now in every measurable way.

Also, will you post your manifesto here?

Vampire Killer of Sacramento ftw...

But really, killers are just damaged people. Not very interesting once you get past yer self-absorbed emo teenage years. Don't give a fuuuuuuu...
I generally hate all keycaps. Keycaps are for poofs. Real men touchtype on stems. Non-functional artisans are awesome, I use them for the ESC key ... escape is for cowards anyways, real men go frontal assault.

I hadn't even heard of it haha. Been Listening to Last Podcast on the Left, Curiosity Kills, and My Favorite Murder a lot.

I would never leave a Zev or a DL behind!

Well they're obviously all damaged people, but I still find it interesting. More interested in ****ed up things they do, and not their feelings or motivations lol.

I'll admit I've spent quite a bit of time reading about different killers throughout history, and while I wouldn't call it a fascination I do often wonder at what brought them to do what they did.

I do wonder what made them the people they became.
I'll admit that at the time I was reading about them I was fascinated by serial killers. I haven't really kept up with it in recent years.
This thread does make me want to re-watch some of the docs I've seen.

By serial killer, I assume you are not referring to this.
"Because keyboards are accessories to PC makers, they focus on minimizing the manufacturing costs. But that’s incorrect. It’s in HHKB’s slogan, but when America’s cowboys were in the middle of a trip and their horse died, they would leave the horse there. But even if they were in the middle of a desert, they would take their saddle with them. The horse was a consumable good, but the saddle was an interface that their bodies had gotten used to. In the same vein, PCs are consumable goods, while keyboards are important interfaces." - Eiiti Wada
