Have you ever had an interest in serial killers? If so why did you have this interest?

I have not but know people that have

I once had an interest in finding the most efficient, cost-effective way of single-handedly killing everyone in a given building, like a school. Finding the requirements, like the weapons one has acces to or strategic starting points. How to fight off the invading cops while some are still people inside alive. Disabling the escape vehicles or blocking the escape points. How to set the home-made bombs the day before and at what places. And the escape plan for fleeing the crime scene.

You know what obbessions are like.

Yes... spree killers more so. I also wanted to know the most efficient cost-effective way of killing thousands at a time!

Yes, I'm interested in serial killers. We have a book about the world's 20 worst crimes, and most of the crimes are commited by serial killers. It's actually kinda interesting though, reading about the kind of sick people who live in this world.

Yes, this is one of my lifelong interests.

It was partly because of my interest in forensics. I was intrigued by the dark side of the human mind.

Very Breifly, in high school, possibly because this first few years were hard and i had many negative thoughts

Yes, criminology is interesting, even if it is a pseudoscience.

Can't say that I have.

Yes, very much so, but my curiosity was more intense in the past. I guess my interest was due to the fact that I am a pacifist with a complete inability to cause harm to a person or animal, so I was curious to how a human being could be driven to murder. I read several books on the psychological profiles of serial killers and even took a college criminology course, which was extremely enjoyable.

I've read a lot about serial killers, I am just interested in how somebody can become that way. I think Albert Fish is like the most f****d up individual in history, but unfortunately there is little information on his upbringing and how he developed some of his strange habits.
I have my own sort of mythology in my head, and it is pretty much focused around a character named Dracul, and his polar opposite, Dante. Dracul is a spree killer (and some other things) who I based on myself, except a little more crazy and with unholy powers. I like to come up with scenarios where he tortures and kills somebody, or something else like that, and how he justifies it. I constructed one such scenario last night in fact, and it helped me feel better and helped me get to sleep.
Is it odd that justifying horrific crimes is therapeutic for me?

yes I did because I found it very interesting and I was obsessed with capital punishment and serial killers meant death penalty. This was one of my obsessions I was ashamed of and not open about.

I don't know about you, Yog, but I'm not afraid of people thinking that I'm a bit demented.
Besides, what are we supposed to expect from someone who takes the name of an Elder God?
