There's no people thinking that that I've seen? It's literally just me here thinking it sounded like behaviour a furry might engage in. Everyone else has either not understood or else actively agreed

So you don't even have the right to refuse the service they're going to charge you a college degree for unless they decide you're physically fit enough to do so?

Tbh I'd argue that that's more a morbid fascination with what serial killers represent than the charisma of the individual killers themselves.
'
But indeed. Many of the worst serial killers actually display a complete social ineptitude. It doesn't help (them at least) that many of them also believe themselves to be much more intelligent than the people around them.
'
Iirc, the toolbox killers tried repeatedly to lure girls to them (and failed), and eventually resorted to stalking them and grabbing them by force
'
Bundy didn't even use his personality to attract a good deal of his victims. Certainly not the ones after he escaped prison

Lol I didn't mean "again" as in "why is this opinion recurring after it was already voiced?" I meant more "at all"

Why are there so many mediocre trolls on this site. Have some respect, man, it's like you're not even trying

I feel like saying "most" serial killers are charismatic is not entirely correct. Some of them are, and many of them do display traits of sociopath and/or psychopathy.
'
But many also never really learn the rules of social interaction. They're often abused, and may try to fake human decency but still fail. A good deal of serial killers will rather take part in crimes or victims of opportunity, a vulnerable group (children) or someone easy to lure or miss (prostitutes, or even gay men for example).

Why is this an unpopular opinion again? Why isn't this just the way it is? Portray them as accurately as you can if you're going to or what's the point

I don't think Daenerys ever reassures Jon the dragons won't burn him alive. I believe what she says more akin to "if they do, it will have been nice know you."

They kinda forgot Dany was supposed to be riding Drogon while he burned down the city 5 comments

The dragons are named after important men in her life.
The smaller dragons are named after her brothers (Viserys being Viserion, the dragon that decides to be blue in season 7; Rhaegar being Rhaegal, the dragon whose storyline features such accomplishments as being smaller than Drogon, and dying in a less climactic manner than Viserion)
'
Drogon is indeed named after her husband, Drogo. Though I suspect George R R Martin actually named Drogo after the dragon
'
All that said, it does, indeed, seem a bit of a weird (lazy?) naming mechanic to fall back on when you think about how there are dragons named Balerion and Meraxes and Tessarion; however, it becomes much more tolerable when you also learn there were dragons named "sheepstealer" and "dreamfyre."
'
Drogon seems like a happy medium

So you're saying it's
A) tell me why my cousin always used to play

In seriousness that would definitely get annoying after awhile

Debate as opposed to what? You have to actually provide the alternative to debate so we can see what you're talking about. Also this is sort of implying fascists are the majority? Which is the case in some places.. But not all

More context is needed because I can't tell whether this is meant to be about trying to justify punching Nazis on a street in America, or people in a highly suppressed country where black-bagging happens on the daily trying to overthrow the government.

He might be good for settling the occasional dispute, but on the whole his power is largely ineffectient for ruling a kingdom, let alone 6

But at the same time he doesn't. As I said in another post, we'll use Jon as an example.
Bran looked back and "saw" Jon's mother give birth and die. Based on the brief glimpse he saw (and his inability to hear her whisper Jon's name to Ned) Bran for some reason decided further investigation wasn't necessary and returned to his body fully prepared to pronounce to the world that Jon Snow was not in fact, Jon Snow, but a bastard of a different locale altogether.
'
He somehow failed to connect the dots (or do further investigation) to realize that Jon wasn't a bastard at all, but instead a Targaryen. He was still prepared to shatter Jon's entire worldview with his presumptions.
'
Bran doesn't seem to see everything at all times (he didn't even know where Dragon was in the final episode). He has to pick and choose what he sees. Which seems like it would take a very long time if he has to live through each vision in real time as well (I don't know if this was ever explained or not).
