i find that, when i am reading a book or watching a movie, i naturally sympathize or relate to the “crazy” or unhinged loner, who only thinks or behaves this way because everyone around him or her is an ignorant marshmallowy idiot who has never experienced a single genuine emotion in their whole marshmallowy life

ignatius, ahab, col. kurtz, rust cohle, bob arctor, freddie quell, charles foster kane (lol). . . .

and usually if the villain has any sort of realistic or interesting motive i don’t necessarily disagree with them either.
