How come psychopaths/sociopaths are never portrayed as completely ugly looking?
Serial killer, lawyer, CEO, con man etc.
One thing they all are is not completely ugly.
Does anyone consider ER a sociopath? They consider him a whiny loser who couldn't get laid so he took out on others. They almost don't want to call him a sociopath coz that term seems to have a cool alpha connotation to it

How come psychopaths/sociopaths are never portrayed as completely ugly looking? What about all the times we call you psychopaths?
Serial killer, lawyer, CEO, con man etc.

What? There are plenty of each who are ugly. For the last two groups, for instance, see the current US president.
Does anyone consider ER a sociopath? They consider him a whiny loser who couldn't get laid so he took out on others. Those two are not in any way mutually exclusive at all.
…Dude, thrillers with hot action stars playing psycho’s are NOT RL. You incels want to see what a RL psychopath looks like? Look in a mirror. Look at the current president. Look at your “god”, ER.
Plenty of examples of actual blatant psychopaths.
Because Hollywood “ugly” is still better looking than the average person and making people physically attractive is Hollywood shorthand for “this is the only way we really know how to make you invest in this character as interesting because we think you’re a cretin and probably forgot how this sentence started” or if they think they’re being clever it’s supposed to be about evil hiding in plain sight because somehow even in real life a disturbing number of people have it in their head that a criminal would have a glaringly obvious physical appearance. Like they imagine a con man being a greasy, unkempt, thuggish looking goon with a mouth full of bad teeth and an ill-fitting suit that looks like it was stolen from a hobo making obvious false statements rather than the reality of the usually impeccably groomed charismatic manipulators who cultivate a respectable image.
Also aside from you sociopaths who doesn’t refer to your “saint” as the sociopathic pretty boy who couldn’t handle the reality that being good looking doesn’t automatically hand you everything you want in life?
All the good looking psycho gets is sex and admiration from young submissive girls, he’ll never experience the simple high of presenting his online watchdog credentials to a random woman then respecting her hard
The ratio of women watchdogged for to women slept with is irrelevant ofc
@Trollcel:

Your beloved Elliot was a sociopath as well as ugly. He looks like he was stung in the face by a bee.
Sweet Cthulhu I love that this untalented troll is still here, embarrassing himself & amusing me.

So respecting women is legit just a hobby for its own sake around here?
Sticking up for secularism and all that other nerd bs as a balding virgin is kinda masochistic and self destructive, none of the guys on here will get to indulge in the pleasures of this libertine utopia. Maybe find another hobby bro
"How come psychopaths/sociopaths are never portrayed as completely ugly looking?"
For the most part, we expect evil to look ugly and good to look nice. So we also judge good-looking people as good, and verse vica. movie makers use that. We let our guard down if someone's pleasant looking. When they turn out to be evil, it's a more powerful shock.
Of course, the entire Horror genre wants to shock you in a different way. That's why psychopaths like Freddy Kruger and Jason look the way THEY do. So you really cannot say 'never.'
Or, well, you can SAY it, but it's just part of the usual incel litany of being unable to grasp reality, and judging all of humanity through a lens of only a few experiences.

No, respecting women is not a hobby. You keep trying to shoehorn everyone else's life into your personality problems.
I do lots of things and hold more than a few opinions because i think they're right, not because it's an act i adopt to further my social standing or to get chicks. But as long as the only thing in your core is hatred and self-loathing, you'll never understand that.
Maybe work on taking your own advice before giving it out, bruh.

Respecting women is just something that decent men do. I mean, why wouldn't you respect women? We're regular people, just like men. I respect men, though I guess there are a few exceptions (like you, for example).
As for the rest. Here's the thing: normal people, regardless of gender, have other things that make them happy besides sex. So, even if some of the guys here don't have active sex lives, there's plenty of benifits to a secular society other than lax attitudes about sex. Usually religious societies have nonsensical rules about what's right and wrong and they impose those rules on everybody. Someone who values freedom of thought would find such a society a nightmare. I can understand why you don't care about having your freedom of thought taken away though. After all, you'd have to *have* a few thoughts in the first place for that to matter one way or the other.

I post on here because reading and posting is an entertaining way to kill time while waiting for downloads. This and rinkworks.com, mostly.
By the way, I’m currently in the middle of watching Happy!, and let me tell you, Christopher Meloni is not exactly the best looking psychopath (make no mistake, his character is a psychopath), and Joseph D. Reitman is significantly uglier, especially as made-up to play Very Bad Santa.
Of course, I should add as a caveat that every character either is or will become a psychopath by the end. Hailey and Amanda are halfway there themselves!
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
