Ted Bundy episode

I'm so glad Sylas said what he did at the end. I'm 31 and my whole life (well since about 10 when my true crime interest started) I heard and saw specials and docs and heard people talk about what a charming, intelligent, blah blah blah he was. Even someone as good looking and all that as Zac Efron playing him in that Netflix thing pissed me off.

He wasnt shit, honestly. He tried to get into the upper echelon of law and politics in his area. He wasn't quite smart enough, wasn't wealthy enough to be a socialite. He was an average, sad, underperforming white man with an interiority complex who couldn't deal with being made to feel small. He wasn't dangerous because he was some bond villain esque mastermind. Just a man who couldn't be told no. And honestly there's nothing more dangerous and useless to the rest of society than an average white man who's actions don't measure up to his ego. My dad's really into WW2 stuff and I'll just pass through the living room when he's watching something and say something like "so all this happened because Hitler couldn't deal with being average" and it really is true.

I'm glad Sylas pointed it out at the end because I've heard too many people glorifying him and I'm glad the tide kind of started to turn and people got hip to the fact that he was just another ain't shit, boring, average white man who thought he deserved more than he could get out of life. And those kind of men ruin everything they touch.
