          But HOW for sure? They're both violent psychopaths. I think that Ramsay has probably committed more on-screen torture. (I'd say he's definitely worse in the book, but the show upped Joffrey's on-screen horrors.)

            Because Joffrey has a more annoying face, of course. Duh.

            But also he had no reason to be cruel, he wasn't striking back at society because he was a bastard (although he was) or trying to become a Lord or to get something. He already had everything he could have possibly wanted.

            He was just baaaad. Also, he was mean to Tyrion which never helps.

              @Arkandel Your arguments have cemented to me how much I'm voting for Ramsay. Thanks for triggering my true vote.

                  Also while Robert and Cersei were not exactly parents of the year, it is a lot more understandable how you would end up a serial killer with Roose Bolton as your dad.

                    My only exposure to this series being watching Cry play the Game of Thrones game by Telltale, I vote Bolton as the worst.

                    My vote is just as valid as yours. Scary, huh.

                      @Thenomain Since the debate is about which fictional homicidal, sadistic psychopath is the worst, I don't think your opinion holds less weight than anyone else's.

                        Well, Jessica Jones fucking nailed it. I feel like I need a cigarette after that.

                          That's my plan for tonight after LARP.
                          Jessica Jones.
                          So looking forward to it.

                              I'll keep that in mind. Probably tonight plus tomorrow before my partner and I go do Hunger Games.

                              Also, for anyone like me who is a fan, the first chunk of Digimon Tri is up on Crunchyroll.

                                I watched ten episodes yesterday before I finally called it quits,s lept, and then watched the final two just now. XD

                                  If you only watched 12, you're missing one. There's a 13th.

                                    Naw, I just miscounted.

                                        So I thiught, "Oh, I'll just turn on Jessica Jones while getting some work done."

                                        Two episodes in, I gave up and binge watched the rest on the couch while cuddling with the dog until 4am.

                                            When you think about the fact that Kilgrave's powers are an allegory to rape (or date rape drugs), and the entire plot is somewhat of a commentary on rape and psychological abuse saying things like "The Purple Man made you do it" is ... It's pretty offensive actually. It's basically like shouting: "Tehehe rape! Tehehe!"

                                            What I've watched of Jessica Jones is really well done. I have no issues with how they represented PTSD. In fact, though the cause of mine is vastly vastly different, I empathized a great deal with the scene in either the first or second episode where she freaks out and just runs down the street after being disoriented. Last winter I ran off of a bus, likely knocking into people on the way, because I had a flashback after being crowded in on all sides. Again, while different, I also have a mantra that helped me calm down. So, yeah, whoever was in charge of researching PTSD-- bang up job. Look at Jessica and see that this is what people with PTSD are going through.

                                            That being said, the more I reflect on the first two episodes the more I think after the scene where Kilgrave mind-controls two kids into a closet and /makes one piss herself in there/-- I'll be giving this a pass.
