This is a disturbing topic to me. There are fan pairings out there in fan fiction land where the writer often pairs themselves (or the reader or some mary sue OC) with monster like Jeff the Killer or Slender Man. This has led to at least two known attempted murders in the name of Slenderman.
Worse yet, there's been a fan page for the Boston Marathon Bomber Dzhokhar Tsarnaev with tons of people (many of them girls) saying that he's too cute to have committed that crime.
In that vein there are women marrying men on death row! If that guy were free he'd murder that woman after doing horrible things to her, yet she marries him anyway? Why?
Why do these people seem drawn to evil whether it's fictional or some vile murderer stuck in a prison cell? Why?!?!?!?!?
