So, who is your favourite serial killer?

I don’t have a favourite serial killer, but I find the Ed Gein case especially interesting. The title of most overrated serial killer would, in my opinion, go to the Zodiac killer, no style or signature other than his childish letters taunting the police and claiming credit for crimes he didn’t commit. He was never caught though.

IDK. It’s like you’re implying that serial killers are all OK but yours is the best out of the bunch.

That’s exactly what I am implying. :stuck_out_tongue:

Shouldn’t the question be “is it immoral to have a favorite serial killer?”

I make a point of never using the word “immoral”. It makes me feel less moralistic, moralism being a hybrid between morality and immorality. If morality is bad enough just consider the inconveniences of immorality.

There are four different meanings of one root word here.

Depends on why they’re your favourite. If you find their MO or story interesting, then no biggie.
If you idolize them and want to do what they did, major red flag.

I dont have a favorite but i was really into the story of Ted Kaczynski.
