User blog comment:Chelsea.adams.524/A Jeff The Killer Rant/@comment-24501610-20140326022830

Did you not read my entire rant? The point I was trying to make was that both Ted Bundy and Jeff The Killer were considered attractive by people desipite them being murderers. How people found either of them attractive is irrelevant since it has virtually nothing to do with what I was saying. The entire point of my rant was that it doesn't really matter if Jeff is portrayed as ugly or "sexy" or whatnot. That he's still a deranged lunatic regardless of how fanart (and sometimes fanfics) portray him. I used Ted Bundy as a comparison to prove my point on how people finding murderers attractive is nothing new. It's also why I used both Jason Voorhees and Freddy Krueger as comparisons to Jeff. Like Jeff, Freddy and Jason are both killers and are FAAAAAAAR from attractive (Unless you're into badly-burnt men and undead guys in hockey masks). Yet, there are tons of pictures circulating the internet that portray Freddy and Jason as being "sexy". Heck, I even mentioned in my rant that what causes people to find villains/monsters/killers/etc. to be sexy can vary. Maybe the villain is more charming. Maybe he has a more sympathetic backstory than the hero. Or maybe he just has a more interesting personality. Either way, for some reason, there are people who find these characters to be "hawt". Just look at Harley Quinn. She's madly in love with a complete lunatic (IE: The Joker) who has emotionally manipulated and abused her in the past, who clearly is too insane to be able to form any sort of meaningful relationship, and has been known to brutally murder people for no logical reason whatsoever, and yet she thinks he's the love of her life. People who have crushes on characters like Jeff are no different. Now do you see where I'm coming from? I don't care if Ted Bundy was a "proper" serial killer. I don't care if Jeff is a "slasher movie" type villain. Because, that wasn't the point I was making with this rant. The point I was making is that people viewing a killer as "sexy" is nothing new, and fanart/fanfics of them portrayed in the "bishie" style isn't going to change the fact that they're still deranged murderers. That people shouldn't whine about how a character is drawn in fanart because (unless approved by the original creator and/or copyright holder) it's not canon to begin with.
