User blog:Gryffinpuffz/The Psychopath's category

Heya!

I've been thinking about something, and I decided to make a blog post to get others opinions about it. So. The Psychopaths category. I believe that it covers to many mental problems at the same time. The description for the category is: "These are criminals and villains who are violent, sadistic, and show signs of mental instability." Still, there are characters there who don't fit into that description. Kassidy Marquez for example, never showed signs of sadism. (Not that I can remember anyway) She was a criminal and there was probably something messed up with her way of thinking, but she was neither violent or sadistic. I also feel like the description of mental instability is problematic, because I don't think someone with mental instability necessarily equals a psychopath. There are so many mental disorders out there, and having one doesn't make you a psychopath. Psychopathy is an disorder in itself.

I wrote this blog post so that maybe we can come up with a solution together, if we feel like something needs changing. Maybe we need to better specify which characters this category should include, or maybe we could make another category to cover people with mental instability that isn't psychopathy. For example, I feel like Hayden from Perfect Match is depressed, and Dan from ILITW has/had PTSD.

I hope to hear your opinions soon.
