    Even better if the aliens have no concept of a serial killer so they have no frame of reference for the horror they have brought upon themselves.

      They conclude it is normal human behavior and decide to leave us the fuck alone, like we do with the sentinel islands.

        No, they threaten to kill all of us unless we change. Then we are given 6 months to find and kill every serial killer on the planet and they give us the technology to instantly detect serial killers but it turns out the device detects potential serial killers as well and it’s flagging multiple politicians, celebrities, nobel laureates and even children.

      Or death isn’t even an inconvenience for them. They’re a hive mind and losing one loses nothing. He gets no joy from it and they are but mildly annoyed.

    Egh… i’ve been a victim of my father for long enough that it’s no longer my responsibility to deal with whomever else he victimizes. I managed to survive him… that’s ehere my responsibility ends

    I have no fewer than 15 psychiatrists who will back me up on that. If you feel so socially responsible, you go risk your life, in trying to ring him in. Several local police departments and the FBI haven’t managed it, but you? You think you’re so much better than them? Go for it. I wish you the best of luck.

    Yeah, you and your silly meme is gonna fix everything.

    They are aliens. They couldn’t give a fuck about some little serial killer man. I mean, look at your picture, the blood must be his. If it was of some alien, he would be exposing his brains in two seconds. This gives me “I can take a polar bear armed with a knife”, Tate-like vibes.

      Why are you assuming the aliens are dangerous monsters with razor sharp claws and acid blood?

        Maybe because of the capitalization and writing. I’d go for “alien beings” for clarity, but I guess “Aliens” works fine in retrospective.

    Closest thing I watched was “no one will save you” Main character has to kill all kinds of aliens while they are tying to abduct her.

    Minor spoiler:

    she earns mad respect from aliens as story progresses which leads to a “happy ending”

    If aliens were to abduct someone I’d think they would want someone who’s alone and out of sight of most people. So it’s probably going to be someone farther from the cities, and just walking by themself. So they might abduct someone out hunting, or they might abduct a someone hopped up on meth wandering through back roads or swamp areas of Polk County, Florida.

    Either way, they probably got more than they bargained for.

        This actually already happened, the Aliens had to put him back and all his friends just wrote it off as a meth high. After seeing what 1 human was like the aliens fucked off and said it wasn’t worth trying to cohabitate with us.

      Heck, have the aliens try to abduct some wildlife and then it turns out they picked up the cocaine bear. Play it as an action comedy from the perspective of the aliens.

      Bonus points if they then abduct a human hunter to deal with it and he turns out to be the deranged serial killer from the post.

    Actual sociopath who has tried very hard to maintain boundaries and not commit crime even in secret suddenly finds himself in a safe space for venting.

      Do psychopaths actually do this? I thought the whole point was that they didn’t care about other people, so would have no particular interest in hiding?

        Not quite. There’s a range of antisocial personality disorders. The common characteristic is lacking empathy. For the most part, the interest in hiding is more a byproduct of self preservation, getting what you want, and upbringing.

        Just because you don’t care about something doesn’t mean you don’t do things you were taught , you just do them because that’s how things are done, not because you’ve internalized the reason behind it. I hold the door for the person behind me because being kind to strangers is good, and I’d feel bad if I made someone have a worse day. A sociopath might do it because they were told that that’s what you do.

        Put differently: they view people as akin to objects. I will openly admit to having objectified my toaster. I don’t care what it thinks of me, and when it stops toasting I’ll only keep it long enough to reference the model number and get a new one. (Not being a sociopath, I’ve now considered the feelings of my toaster and feel a tinge of irrational guilt about writing that about my loyal toaster).
        Abusing the toaster wouldn’t give me intrinsic joy. It would cause my family to look at me oddly and I’d have to answer all sorts of questions. Also I couldn’t make bagels. Treating an inert object well helps me avoid an uncomfortable situation, and is more useful to me. Once treating it poorly had more value though, I won’t really hesitate.

        That’s why they often find themselves in jobs where treating people like objects is helpful. Other people balk at ruthlessly firing people right before the holidays, or telling a child with cancer that their treatment is more expensive than the premiums they’ll bring in, even accounting for the lawsuit for wrongful claim rejection, and so they need to die. Sociopath just sees the benefit to themselves of making their quarterly numbers look good.

      I’ve always wondered about that title. Even in the past it didn’t work, if the Americas are supposed to be the free world what about Canada?
