Potential movie star...if he ever gets out.
In the Karacabey district of Bursa, 18-year-old Gökçe Alkan was killed
by her boyfriend, Mustafa B., who slit her throat in a wooded area.
Alkan's older sister, Özlem Akbay, claimed that her sister had been
lured into a trap by her boyfriend on the day of the murder:
"He summoned her by saying, 'I had an accident. My car is totaled.
I'm at the hospital.' My sister went to see him not to meet up, but to
break up with him. I told her not to go, but she wanted to confront him."
Following the murder, the number of Instagram followers for the killer,
Mustafa B., increased fifteenfold in a single day! (!) Many young women
started following the killer! I can understand—to an extent—being curious
enough to check his Instagram profile and ask, "Who is this killer?"
But why would anyone—especially young women—follow a killer who
slit the throat of an 18-year-old girl?
When those who followed the murderer were asked questions on social
media, "Why are you, as a woman, following a woman killer?", young
girls replied, "He has a good look," "He is handsome," and "He is better
than wimpy men like you." (!)
Despite all the murders of women, why do some women like 'defective',
criminal and even murderer men?
There are some psychological and scientific answers to this interest:
First of all, the human brain has an evolutionary curiosity about
extraordinary events that pose a threat and violate social rules. This
situation is called 'sensational curiosity'.
Romantic or sexual attraction towards people who have committed crimes,
especially those involved in murder cases, is called 'Hybristophilia' or
'Bonnie and Clyde Syndrome'. This psychological tendency may be
present among the women who follow Mustafa B.
In criminology, 'Hybristophilia' is divided into two:
Passive Hybristophilia: The person knows that the criminal is dangerous,
but believes that he will not experience direct violence. He gets caught up
in the fantasy of fixing, healing or saving her (savior complex).
Active Hybristophilia: The person is directly excited by the crime
committed by the criminal and has the desire to participate in the crime.
There is also the evolutionary illusion of "Strength/Protection":
The male figure, which is evolutionarily dominant, dangerous and can
break the rules, may create the perception of "a leader who is strong and
can protect the clan" in the subconscious of some individuals.
The image of the "bad boy" committing crime in modern society may
overlap with this primitive perception of power. In addition, childhood
traumas and attachment disorders are also important factors. Women with
an anxious attachment style may be attracted to "malfunction" people
who could harm them or are unattainable.
Individuals who experienced emotional or physical abuse in childhood
may equate love with danger and unpredictability. For example,
someone who answers "He's better than wimpy men like you" as a
reason for pursuing the murderer may be prone to 'hyristophilia'."
While some of these women are being beaten or subjected to violence,
they ask for help from men whom they call 'wimps'! (!)
Later, he changes his statement to save his guilty girlfriend. Many
similar events took place in our country. Of course, a woman who
is subjected to violence must be helped. Because 'hybristophilic'
tendencies are well below one in a thousand in the general population.
In other words, a few thousand people following a murderer out of
curiosity or admiration on social media, which has millions of users,
does not represent the general trend of women in society.
In summary, this is the situation. The increase in the number of followers
of Mustafa B. represents a very small group.
