Women are obsessing over a serial killer now (romance novel/show)

[vinn98]

These romance novels and movies are like porn for women. The latest one has them fantasizing over a serial killer (Dark Triad Theory). If he's good looking with dark triad traits women think "oh he's just damaged and misunderstood, I can fix him".

Of all the characters in the You universe, obsessive stalker, creepy charmer, and serial killer Joe Goldberg is the most consistent between the books and the show. The biggest difference between Joe in the television series and Joe in the books is that he's much less sympathetic in the books. The novels are written from Joe's POV, so listeners are privy to all of his dark and violent thoughts. As such, despite his projected charisma, he's more immediately chilling in the novels.

They are not obsessing over a killer, they are obsessing over a good looking guy. If you're good looking you can be anyone. You can truly be yourself.
