    Literally a dangerous psycopath.

    This is basically ‘tortured kittens to death as a kid’ level shit.

    If you made a TV show or Movie where a character did this, people would say it was heavy handed and lacked subtlely, it is too over the top, it isn’t a well written bad guy (gal) character, it’s schlocky.

      Sociopathic phychosis, to narrow it down a little more.

      It’s that lack of empathy that seems like the initial trigger.

      Edit: Sadistic sociopathic psychosis.
