i rly hate it when serial killer documentaries be like WHAT DO THESE MEN HAVE IN COMMON? THEY WERE ALL EXCEPTIONAL! INTELLIGENT! SO WHY DID THEY KILL?!?!?!? Like hate to burst ur bubble steven but serial killers are not actually, by rule, smarter than everyone else??? Ted Bundy wasn’t smarter than the average dude??? Like don’t get me wrong evening classes at law school sound v impressive despite failing his entrance exams before, but it doesn’t make him EXCEPTIONALLY intelligent? So far as I know only like… Andrew Young and Ed Kemper and a handful of others were above average, but even so the percentage isn’t larger among serial killers than it is among the general population??

Like basically stop glorifying serial killers, ok? coz u know some dumb fuck will actually believe it, and start idolizing those fucks, thinking that getting away with murder is something a genius move. it aint.

lack of empathy aint a sign of intelligence, basically.
