I stopped reading that thread after 21 pages. Did anyone ever explain why they actually wanted to play Criminal Girls?

Funny.
I'm talking about an actual response from a human being. People asked them, yet they never responded before I couldn't take it anymore and just went to bed with the wife.
This subculture is like a train wreck. I want to look away, but it's so damn fascinating from a psychological perspective.
Oh, I completely agree with that. It IS absolutely revolting, and such a reaction is absolutely warranted.
But that's part of what makes it beautiful! The human condition is sometimes so awful that it haunts our deepest, darkest nightmares... and if something is so terrible as to make you lose sleep, lose faith in humanity or even just want to vomit, that's kind of beautiful in its own way.
If something affects us on a deep, emotional level -- be it positive or negative, delightful or uncomfortable -- is that not an indication of its power as a work of art? And isn't that ability for a mere CONCEPT to make us sad, or mad, or miserable kind of amazing, when you think about it?
That's what I love about art.
