Hilarious how Dexter hitting Paul with the frying pan is considered one of the human moments. Even if it’s a psycho thing to do, it’s so relatable.

[@brantleydybas5193]

They consider it human cuz he acted out of emotion. Psycho would have been him planning to set up Paul. Everything he did was very improvised that's why he gets caught on it.

I still think Dexter had feelings he was not 100% psychopath if he was his family would mean nothing to him in bad times like trinity's family was to him. Even the doctor that made Dexter was surprised he showed feelings for others was small but his son Hanna and deb are ones he loved and cared for and would never kill even if they fit his code like Hanna did.

[@tonoornottono]

all psychopaths have feelings. they’re just not convinced that yours matter. they don’t see you. psychopaths are hugely emotional people even though that emotionality isn’t always demonstrated in a way we recognize.

I love the subtle nod towards Dexter being a true psychopath at 2:39 when he doesn't flinch or jump. Apparently that's a trait, I've read and seen things on it - but I'm NO expert nor psychologist. Might not have even been intentional 🤷‍♂️😂

[@sanicspeed1672]

Pretty sure he's a sociopath not a psychopath

[@jmz2144]

I think there's an episode, maybe Doakes or the ex-husband, who pretends to punch him in the face, he never flinches or blinks

[@blackflashjohnson]

@@jmz2144u correct it was rita ex husband

[@tonoornottono]

@@sanicspeed1672there’s no real difference they’re just colloquial terms. “sociopath” seems to have a softer connotation for people but ASPD is the same disorder no matter what you call it.

[@MariaHeredia-dw4id]

To those who say Dexter was asexual he’s not he just didn’t prioritize women and was indifferent about them; he was a SK.

[@tonoornottono]

his lack of attraction is pretty well understood at this point. that’s all asexuality is. he’s not attracted to anybody. didn’t he start off pretty sex-repulsed? maybe he gets used to the act itself but it’s clear as hell that he’s not “attracted,” which is literally the only thing asexuality means.

[@MariaHeredia-dw4id]

Had he been a true asexual he’d never be with Rita or have had Harrison!

[@tonoornottono]

@@MariaHeredia-dw4id that’s not how asexuality works. asexuality is a lack of sexual attraction, which i think is pretty well demonstrated in the show. asexuals can still have sex and stuff- and to dexter, heteronormativity is just another mask. sex is a mask for him, it has the utility of making him look normal. fatherhood does the same. but he mentions multiple times that he doesn’t feel any need for sex or any true sexual attraction for anybody. that’s all that asexuality is.

[@MariaHeredia-dw4id]

@tonoornottono That’s not how asexuality works! Asexual - A term used to describe someone who does not experience sexual attraction toward individuals of any gender. Asexuality is a sexual orientation, and is different from celibacy, in that celibacy is the choice to refrain from engaging in sexual behaviors and does not comment on one's sexual attractions.If Dexter was truly asexual he wouldn’t have had GFs or a family.It’s not that hard to understand plus remember throughout the series when he was younger Harry had to push home to interact with teenage girls his own age!Most asexuals love themselves and have some issues with the other genders which is why they don’t focus on them.Dexter was a straight white guy who’s just indifferent to women because he has bigger issues than them.On top most asexual don’t participate in sexual relationships which is why they’re asexual.

[@tonoornottono]

@@MariaHeredia-dw4id do you know any asexuals? i do. you literally wrote the definition here: “a term used to describe someone who does not experience sexual attraction towards individuals of any gender.” yeah. that’s what i said, too. then you differentiate it from celibacy- which is exactly what i did. asexuality is a lack of ATTRACTION. it is not the inability or unwillingness to have sex, or even to have romantic relationships. an asexual may not be attracted to anybody, but may enjoy the physical sensation of sex. as a sexual orientation it is entirely concerned with the question of sexual attraction, not physical or romantic compatibility. we learn very clearly that he has no sexual attraction- this is the literal definition as you have just written it. he meets this criteria. his participation in romantic and sexual relationships is done purely out of a sense of normalcy. it is a mask for him. he literally says this in the show. his lack of attraction is the only criteria for being asexual- his participation is neither here nor there. it has nothing to do with the category.

After season 5, the feel and story line of the series declined. The gem we had practically disappeared, the writers took a route with the story that was at times unreal and illogical for the characters, the villains actors selection declined significantly. What made Dexter a cultural Icon was Michael C Hall and the writing/acting of the first five seasons.

he could have ignored that and went after anyone he wanted at any time, he could have given in to the temptation of killing the security guard his brother had laid before him at the abandoned hospital or his sister at their childhood home but he chose to follow his father's rules despite his own issues with him because deep down he really didn't want to hurt innocent people and season after season was showing him striving to be a better person and was achieving that slowly especially with lumen in season 5 and brother sam in season 6, Hannah in season 7 Was the worst character ever thought of for her corruptive influence is what brought down Dexter's Integrity and ruined him from being the lovable and honorable character we all know from the books and earlier seasons, the show's 2 endings was I feel very disappointing because they wrote it and his character all wrong for he wouldn't have given in to his grief over the loss of his sister to where he would abandon his own son, sure he would be at his lowest for a minute but he would pull himself together and remember the promise he made to deb of how he would always be there for harrison no matter what and you can't sit there and convince me that a small town sheriff like his girlfriend angela would be able to bust a notorious killer like Dexter based on circumstantial evidence not to mention the tranquilizer formula is not the same; he never used kenimine on his targets he used M99, The writers should have continued adapting his story from the novels for they had tons of potential of doing and successfully pulling off a reverse breaking bad and the blacklist with the character, turning him into his very own sophisticated concierge of crime fighting with a vast network of resources at his disposal to help him hunt those that escape justice while keeping him 2 steps ahead of the people he works for in law enforcement who feels and views himself as the "the bad guy" that doesn't believe he can change but doesn't want to disappoint his father, his best friend angel, his wife, kids and sister by giving up trying with case after case and ultimate showdowns with the main antagonist of the season pushing him further and further down the path of being a honorable, righteous and semi-heroic individual with new blood being his swan song where he sacrifices himself to save his son, his son's girlfriend along with his own girlfriend from Kurt Caldwell, his son and the billionaire character they had in there that was serving as a red herring, have it where he had a connection to kurt and was involved somehow in covering up his secret of being the runaway killer and Dexter dying ending their threat once and for all thus earning his redemption which brings his story arc full circle with him ultimately breaking good, As for doakes the most annoying thing about him was his hypocritical attitude towards dexter when he tried to get him in trouble for just doing his job as a blood spatter specialist after he in an act of revenge shot dead a former death squad operative who was unarmed and tried to cover it up with lies which put his partner angel batista in a very uncomfortable situation of possibly turning him in to be arrested by IA until he was given a pass by the government, It should have been written and adapted according to the way it worked out in the books where they worked together to take down a cartel leader and doakes was severely maimed by the main antagonist dr danco to where he lost his legs and arms and tongue as a consequence for killing in cold blood that death squad operative who just so happened to be related to the villain, dexter tries to save him despite him knowing his secret but fails, he goes into a comma and dies later on in the 3rd season but Is revered as a hero cop and posthumously awarded a medal for risking his life to bring down dr danko who gets framed by Dexter as the Bay Harbor butcher, the same scenario can be applied but altered to the character Maria Laguerta, have the consequences of her actions in season 2 befall her in season 7 by having esme come back for revenge on laguerta for ruining her career by using her secret connections to the criminal underworld to frame her and make her look as if she's losing her mind like what laguerta did to her by sleeping with her boyfriend and have it where Debra is the one that tries to save her but fails with season 8 being the final season that deals with the fallout of that event and Dexter being the loving caring brother that he's been towards her trying to help her overcome the grief of laguerta's death all while dealing with the reign of terror from the brain surgeon, I say all of that to say that joe from the show YOU doesn't hold a candle to dexter and that dexter would have that despicable man for breakfast, lunch and dinner to feed the very jackels he came from! 🔥😁😉👍
