Well, considering it's a mental condition and trauma that creates most of them, I don't think we'd have less

But I agreed, they shouldn't be glorified

@caccoon some killers do it for the attention. I'm sure it would stop some people from doing it

@SW-User I'd argue that even if they do, their method of attention is already going to get a negative reaction, and giving them a negative nickname would not dissuade them. But that's my unprofessional opinion

Some people should just not have children

@caccoon I understand what you're saying. what the meme fails to note is that it isn't just a name these killers can obtain from their crimes. it's also media covering them, possible books about them being published, heck even netflix documentaries. there's a lot of infamy that can come from it.
