I agree. There is an honest-to-god fetishization of murderers and serial killers on some of the weirder parts of the internet. And how often do we hear of copycat killers?
That fetishization is endemic in the general population. The media wets itself over mass shootings and such, it's such an easy way for someone who feels invisible to get some air-time. There are also the politicians who can't wait to pimp the tragedy to further their own agendas as well. The whole thing is just disgusting, really.
