Disturbing: Women on Twitter Think James Holmes Is ‘Hot,’ ‘Sexy,’ ‘Cute’
On Monday the world got its first look at accused Aurora movie theater gunman James Holmes in action at his advisement hearing, telecast from a Colorado courtroom. Evidently the 24-year-old murder suspect made a good impression on some women, who took to Twitter to talk about how hot he is. That's right: a man who allegedly killed 12 people—one of them a six-year-old little girl—has groupies.
It might seem unfathomable to some that anyone could respond to the purported face of evil by complimenting its bone structure. Even one of the women who Tweeted about how she finds both Holmes and Trayvon Martin's shooter George Zimmerman "cute" seemed confused by her feelings. And while it's probably not "normal" for criminals to be a girl's "type," it's actually much more common than you'd think. Women have a long history of being physically attracted to people who've committed particularly heinous crimes. There's actually a term for it: Hybristophilia.
Also known as "Bonnie and Clyde syndrome," it goes beyond the "bad boy" appeal to which many women are drawn at some point in their lives. While hybristophilia is considered by some experts to be a potentially lethal form of sexual expression—as associating with known serial killers tends to be—Arthur Aron, a psychology professor at the State University of New York-Stonybrook says that for some, a relationship with someone imprisoned for life is actually safer, emotionally.
"For some people it's threatening to be intimate," he says, "And a relationship with an incarcerated partner may give these people the sense of control they want or need when it comes to emotional closeness."
Statistics show that male inmates are more likely to gain groupies and have romantic relationships with pen pals than female prisoners. This could be because men are 11 times more likely to be incarcerated than women, but whatever the case, those who commit the most violent, gruesome crimes—murder and rape—enjoy the most attention from "fans." Ted Bundy, who had killed over 30 women, was perhaps the most famous literal and figurative lady killer, as he had one of the biggest groupie followings, and received an average of 200 letters a day from women who were either attracted to him or believed him to be innocent, before he died in the electric chair. even after all these years, 77-year-old Charles Manson is still receiving female visitors on Valentine's Day.
