Just to be clear, I think the story is probably good as a coping mechanism for most kids who read it. I don't think it should be banned, or that it is harmful, or people who have enjoyed the story are damaged in some way.

In many respects it is a valid psychological outlet because of the qualities I outlined. I allows a resolution for the sublimated rage all adolescents feel at being forced to become one of the anonymous herd.

That's why it is still so popular. It's timeless, pretty much.

It's funny how you guys just can't seem to see it.

It's a lurid tale of a multiple murderer who goes on to become a xenocidal scourge, as told from a fantastical perspective designed to elicit sympathy for the narcissistic justifications offered by the author for the protagonist's actions.

He's a victim of circumstances that are specifically designed by the author as a plot device to elicit sympathy for someone who indulges in monstrous acts.

And I am saying the rage that leads some individuals to commit violence is normal. If there is no acceptable outlet for these type of feelings and they sublimated by the individual, this is a recipe for disaster.
