But can we really believe the anecdotal fairy tales of a known narcissist and pathological liar? Sounds like a way to put the blame elsewhere to me. Because HE can't take responsibility for his own evil, so he has to place it somewhere else.
Not defending *advertiser censored* at all, BTW, but please Ted, we know you're just an evil SOB.
JMO.
Ted's long dead. FYI. But there is and was something fundamentally wrong with his brain, and just because society and legal courts do not understand that does not mean it is not so. A psychopath is usually born that way, unless some trauma happens to the brain to create the same behaviroal pattern. People with actual feelings and who care about anyone but themselves can become killers if raised a certain way or endure certain personal abuse and usually there is hope for them, and thise are the people who can be rehabbed back into society. In the opposite realm of human aberrant behavior, Psychopaths can be violent or not violent, but they can't be fixed. But just like everything involving humans, every single person is an individual with entirely different brain chemistry, environment, choices, or lack thereof. Including psychopaths. We just don't like to see people that way, because:
A. It means some people will be violent and bad things will happen that can't be avoided/changed/solved.
B. It means that every person has to be considered individually instead of boxing them into a category. It's just human nature to want to make understanding other people more efficient, so people resist by having prejudices.
So in the case of Ted/*advertiser censored*, or Unknown killer/video games/movies etc, if the person viewing or playing with violent and/or sexual media is also an actual psychopath or borderline personality or sociopath,
and they also have a bad or abusive upbringing,
and they continue having bad behavior as adults, this is a recipe for a murderer. Ted understood himself. He knew something was wrong with him. They don't all realize it, because again, individuals are all different.
