      What about media which questions our notions of "good" and "bad" and allows us to see nuance and dimensionality in characters, even if we find some of their actions repugnant?https://twitter.com/h2theannah/status/1353809464881766402 …

      I don't care for Tarantino's films on a number of levels, so let's not get into this argument because it's a distraction from the original point. Conflating "media about bad people" with "media that glorifies/promotes bad people" is disingenuous.

      Replying to @ChristieSmythe

      If we lived in a vacuum where I just popped into existence today and everything we discussed was hypothetical, then sure. I'm sure that could be pulled off very well. Unfortunately, that's not the case. Who usually benefits from pleas for nuance and understanding in our society?

      Mob movies definitely glorify bad people. But they do so by focusing on good qualities: loyalty, risk-taking, strategic thinking, for example. It should also be remembered that drama and real life are different. If one only wrote about normal life, that would be pretty boring.

      Yes, and William Edward Hickman had no such qualities The qualities Rand found admirable in him - an overpowering sense of himself as special and set apart from the masses, a willingness to defy social norms because other people meant nothing to him - were 100% malign

      It would've been better had he been part of a gang or an organized crime syndicate It would've meant he was capable of giving a shit about other people and working in some kind of team, at the very least

      His solo kidnapping plot was not only completely devoid of any of these "virtues of the vicious", honor and loyalty among thieves It was also incredibly stupid and doomed to fail for that very reason

      The most astonishing thing about Rand's praise for Hickman's "intelligence" is it was based on nothing, entirely circular The evidence is the biggest thing he did in life was something anyone could see was not only reprehensible but a total dumbass move

      But she read genius into an impulsive reckless fool's atrocities *because they were atrocities* It was simply the fact of how vile he was that made him "special" He never once demonstrated any ability to do what others could not, only what they would not, which she conflated

      For almost any normal person, including fans of mafia movies or heist movies or the like, there's nothing to admire about someone like Hickman He wasn't even a *successful* bad guy like a Scarface or an actual serial killer, he wasn't even *smart*

          It takes a hugely distorted perspective to read "genius" into kidnapping a little girl because her parents trusted you and then killing her and delivering her body to her parents when collecting her ransom - *that they were willing to pay* - because you're just quirky that way

          I don’t like to demonize mental illness, but Rand’s will to evil seems so instinctive it’s hard not to pathologize her. So, I just say, what horrible people.

          Unlikely. She hated Reagan.

          It's been very confusing to see this pop up out of context on my timeline alongside the recent Dragonlance news.
