Hate overuse of the words Psychopath/Sociopath (ASPD), and the stigma behind the disorder.

I am not involved/higly educated in psychology/psychiatry, and I have not been diagnosed with ASPD or any similar conditions.

I see people spamming these words to describe just about anyone who can be viewed negatively. Recently saw a post that mentioned gore-watchers, and called everyone who watched gore a psychopath. People who watch gore on average, probably have lower empathy levels than people who do not, but overgeneralizstions like these are SO COMMON. I see people unironically call almost anyone they have a negative opinion of a psychopath.

I think ASPD (psychopathy/sociopathy) is overly demonized, by media and the general population. People with ASPD are less empathetic than average, and are more prone to engage in criminal behavior and violence, but not to the degree portrayed in media/purported by so many people. They are often thought to be all violent maniacs out for blood, but I think this is an uncharitable assumption, it is harmful to people diagnosed with ASPD, and also to people without, because people with are shunned and shamed, and people without constantly try to categorize other people without, out of fear/malice towards that person.
