[QUOTE="Sejs, post: 1827852, member: 4910"] It's because we're easy scapegoats, the same as any other form of escapism. People inherrantly look for the easiest, least defendable excuse for something, because, well, people are lazy. To Jonny Sixpack and Jane Housecoat what we do is wierd - why would anyone want to pretend to be someone other than who they are? That's so strange, it [i]must[/i] be a large part of why Soandso went nuts. I mean it's not like human psychology is a very complicated subject that people devote their entire lifetimes to unraveling or anything. Nope. Cut and dry, he was into something that is alien to me, so the alien thing must be to blame for his actions. ...you know, instead of the actual person being responsible for what they do. [/QUOTE]
