From TV shows and movies. Have you noticed how popular crime/killer shows are?

Yes. It's very amusing, and I kind of wonder what non-psychopaths think of shows like that, or why they cheer on characters like Walter White. I think you're right - they can disassociate themselves from it fairly easily because it's fantasy.
On the other hand, I'd like to conduct a study on the sorts of people who enjoy shows with villain protagonists and see how high they rate on the Dark Triad.

Will do. I think I'm also going to talk with Ben as well. Thus far, I've only heard these things from her side. And yeah, she's immature, and more than a little manipulative, though I doubt she's doing it deliberately or coldly. All that being considered, I'm not sure how much of this story has been embellished.
And you're definitely a psychopath. You actually wash your clothes?! Who does that?
