Unpopular Opinions: Episode Edition! 💫

I have been seeing an increasing number of stories with psychopaths being sexualized and romanticized. I just saw someone come out with a new story about a girl being forced to live with a psychopath in a different episode group. I just find this so messed up. It really bothers me because I know these authors aren’t educated in this topic and they don’t even KNOW what a real psychopath is. This is becoming a trope in the episode community and it’s something 100% should not be a trope. Yeah it’s one thing to have gang leaders, bad boys, and golden boys as a cliche but I am extremely disturbed by people doing the same with psychopaths. It is a mental illness and in these stories it’s being associated as something that’s hot now. This is just screwed up. I’m not against authors writing about psychopaths if they do their research and portray them how they actually are but to romanticize them is beyond disturbing.
