I don't know, I think people are more open to this kind of sympathizing than you might think. Look at M, a highly-regarded film famous for sympathizing with a child killer.

[(Anonymous)]

Just imagine if there was some kind of stage musical about a man who Murdered people and had them cooked into pies

Why, people would be outraged, I assume

[(Anonymous)]

I imagine the reason why people aren't terribly outraged is because Sweeney Todd is probably a fictional character and there's little basis for believing he was a real person committing real crimes. So it'd be a little bit like wondering why more people aren't outraged about the entire movie franchise based on Freddy Krueger.

[(Anonymous)]

Good point there actually, why aren't people taking murders that happen in dreams more seriously

Highly Problematic imho

[(Anonymous)]

Okay but here is a serious point to be made off of it - Monster is not a documentary, and thus it is a piece of fiction, one based on true events, but still fiction. People are less likely to be outraged by it, because we have learned from various fiction, what types of narratives to expect, and "sympathetic killer" is an old trope - and one Monster plays into. People view and judge Monster as fiction, because that's what it is. It is not necessarily a matter of not telling real life from fiction, but in fact, separating "fiction based on truth" into its own category - one that the tropes of fiction like M or Sweeney Todd are influencing more than real life morals. This may be right or wrong, but it is a different issue.

I assume that if they (unlike you, lol) can tell the difference between real life and fiction, they won't be quite so upset.

[(Anonymous)]

Can they tell jokes from serious opinions though (unlike you, lol)

[(Anonymous)]

"It was just a joke!"

[(Anonymous)]

it literally was though

[(Anonymous)]

Yep. And we all know that a comment can't be criticized or disagreed with at all, even mildly, if the person who posted it states that it's only a joke.

[(Anonymous)]

Exactly.

[(Anonymous)]

In that case, I'd like to clarify that my original response was only a joke. GOTCHA.

[(Anonymous)]

can't outjoke a joker, anon.

Sondheim loved that shit. Assassins (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Assassins_(musical)) was a huge thing too.

[(Anonymous)]

Bit of a difference between the a real serial killer and a fake one.

[sarillia]

That's fair.
