[@user-wj3yr7xr2f]

@@JohnJohn-it9vy No its the other way around, its the fundamentalist churches that creates this. I spent 6 month together with fundamentalist Christians and they where insane, they really hated everyone outside church, they didn't say it straight out, but talking to them i realized they hade a lot of violent thoughts about people with different views. And during that time one person tried to leave, but wasn't aloud to. He got so distressed he ended up killing an innocent women and he is now i jail.

Every town has an “Ed” or the equivalent of. Like a creepy guy who literally loved his mom to death and has some weird obsession with “helping people”. I remember when I was a little kid we would always run into this one guy who was an “armature photographer” and he would be at all of our town’s little league, soccer, softball, basketball, etc...games, swim meets. You name it, if there were kids there, he would be right there. Anyway, I always said to my mom “I don’t like that man.” And I wasn’t the only kid who didn’t like him. When I was in my early 20’s, his stepdaughter, 3 nieces and around 18 other kids came forward to accuse him of sexual assault/rape/molestation. It was INSANE. He was arrested, his wife was arrested, he had HUNDREDS of video tapes that he had made with these kids. It was a massive scandal in our town and he’s serving a life term and his wife is serving 19 years. But as a kid, I KNEW there was something off about him. His wife was an agoraphobic but was the one who filmed the acts. Gross, gross, gross. Keep your kids safe. If they say they don’t feel right about someone, believe them!

[@AmethystQtz]

Kids need to be believed when they say something is off. That is disgusting that this man and his wife were able to get away with this for so long. I'm glad theres at least some justice. That's horrible.

[@MithrilMagic]

@@AmethystQtz Yes. Absolutely. Luckily my mom or family members were always around for myself and my cousins and didn’t let us alone with people we didn’t like. But you’re right, sometimes people don’t listen when kids speak up.

[@BooglePoots]

That's so weird that you mentioned that because I completely forgot that we had someone like that in my area as a kid. I was young and it was the 90's so IDK what information was real and what was just rumors, but all the kids were terrified of him and he was always just "around", it was weird. I gotta ask my boyfriend about that now to see if he remembers anything more than I do cuz I just completely forgot about that guy

[@EugeneNeilBreen]

Well, his mother wanted him to be a girl. When she was pregnant she prayed every night for a girl and apparently felt betrayed by God when she had Ed. Ed was apparently attracted to females, but not allowed to express this in any way and he became obsessed with the female form, to the point where he wondered what it would be like to be female. There is a book or two that goes into that in more detail.

This take on ed gein, throughout his life is such an interesting story. I agree that maybe even with his mental issues, he couldve had a completely different life if his mom did not treat him so horribly as a child. I hate feeling bad for him because his victims deserve respect, but its always so interesting to hear how they were raised and the tramas that turned them into that monster. Its something we will never understand and a big reason why it is so fascinating to us.

Technically Ed Gein is NOT a serial killer because he only murdered two people who doesn’t reach the minimal threshold of 3 needed to be considered a serial killer

[@editam.32]

Ed Gein's mom kinda reminds me of the mother from Carrie.

[@hmscldtrs]

I am sure I am in the minority camp, but I have to say, as far as serial killers go, Ed Gein is by far, the nicest one. To me he has always seemed to be a slow witted, uneducated, simple man who didn’t want to harm anyone, he just wanted to make his suit. If he had lived in a bigger city with more dead bodies to choose from, he probably wouldn’t have killed anyone. His life is a sad tale because of how his mother shaped him and the poor man never had a chance at a normal life.

Hey, Josh. The lunar cycle isn’t in sync with mensturation. It’s was associated with it in folk tales and the olden days, though.

[@queenofjensylvania]

True that. But I wonder if there was some correlation once. You know, in times when there was no artificial birth control. 🤔 Not that I think that every woman bled at the same time, but I'd be interested in some statistics and see if there was some moon influence back then when people were more in tune with nature.

[@bipedalnonsense]

@@queenofjensylvania Oh, absolutely. Civilizations have for a long time seen the moon as a feminine force and used it to track fertility since most menstruation cycles are around the same length as the lunar cycles. While they may not sync exactly with a specific lunar phase over all, some have thought so, and it has been used by our ancestors to track their own cycles. The words menstruation and menses can even be traced way back: Month/time (mensis - Latin) and moon (mene - Greek). All of this reminds me of a scene in the movie “The Apostle” from 2018 where a girl was speaking of possibly being with-child. She said she had been having intercourse for many moons.
