Let's not malign not being cookie-cutter because so many people aren't actually and we're all pretending or playing roles on some level.
How many times a day do you say some conventional platitude you don't actually mean nor want to say but do it out or politeness? Any one in the service industry is doing it constantly. If we were filter-less we'd all be the weirdos we try to paint more honest people as.
And a lot of big hit movies and shows display outlandish and risky behavior most wouldn't be bold enough nor legally allowed to get away with IRL. There's a reason for that. Most people are suppressed on some level, and watching these characters is a form of release experienced vicariously.
The people we're talking about are on fhe fringes of that bell curve, who have maladaptive traits and who can't be satiated by normal escapism or healthy forms of blowing off steam. They can't self soothe and go from 0 to 100 way too quickly in pedestrian situations.
It's about dangerous tendencies in a person and a disregard for consequences more than anything else.

When I said weirdos I meant it vaguely, more referring to how many narcicisicts, psychopaths, Machiavellians, sociopaths, etc live among us and it can be hard to identify them unless you interact as part of their inner circle. It’s the callous, low empathy people that end up dangerous. But not obvious when these people are leading companies, are husbands, parents, supposed leaders in the community.
I’m not meaning to talk about well intended people struggling with social interaction or illness.
Apologies for the misunderstanding and poor choice of words on my part.
