Definitely the quiet, keep-to-myself type…I go out of my way to be friendly to the neighbors sometimes, just so at least someone will remember I said hi to them. I also have guns (.22s, but we have a couple of thousand rounds for them) and I play LOTS of video games. One of them is even Call of Duty, but mostly RPGs.
Being with my SO and not being married probably wouldn’t help.
This pretty much goes for all the ex-soldiers out there, and forget it if you were actually something a cut above the average. SCARY!!!
You misspelled “murder simulators.” And it’s a shame they make mice in the exact shape of a pistol. Evidently, there are at least 6.5 million sleeper agents across the US and UK.
This, and my drinking, and the violent fiction I’ve written. And the fact that I listen to metal. And my Magic: The Gathering habit. And my porn collection. And my collection of edged weapons. And the fact that I play Card Against Humanity. And my SDMB posting history.
Writing things that glorify criminals - aka, comics.
Mental illness, possibly.
Lives alone.
Regularly goes to a BDSM dungeon.
And then there’s my porn collection…
Dressed up as a terrorist for Halloween on more than one occasion.
Wrote a comic about a terrorist and has a collection of books on criminals, sociopaths, drug cartels, psychotic mass murdering dictators, and of course terrorists.
Went to see a movie about a terrorist group once.
Has a lot of explosive chemicals in her house, which actually once alarmed a police officer. (But hey, I swear, I’m just an artist, not a terrorist. Really!)
Likes fluffy bunnies, kitties, and cute widdle boidies.
It is devoted to my sleepy fetish / paraphilia. I like drawing pics of extremely scantily-clad superheroines getting knocked out by various means (punches, blows to the head, chloroform, energy blasts). It isn’t presented in a realistic style – my heroines never have bruises or cuts, etc. – but most people are still going to see it as a bit creepy.

In other words, I am quite deranged, and it is only a matter of time before I snap and go on a violent rampage. It is a wonder that I haven’t done so, already…
Instead of the neighbors saying “He was such a quiet guy, we never would have guessed”, they’d say “I knew that guy was nuts! I was waiting for something like this to happen!”
Is it one of those were the Wiimote goes at the end of the barrel, and the nunchuck where the trigger housing should be? And you fire the gun by pulling the trigger at the very end of the barrel. Yeah, those are very realistic, and can train you into an Al-Qaeda operative in like, ten minutes playing Link’s Crossbow Training.
Oh, I forgot to add that I have some books by “Mr. Crowley” and I listen to both punk and metal, which we know are signs of trouble, and I take antidepressants. Also I once went to church and we know that investigations into violent people show that many of them spent time in churches.
So watch out, as soon as I feed my pets, water the begonias, and dust the end tables, I might get busy with my chainsaw.
There is a photo of me shooting a semi automatic weapon on Facebook. Of course, the fact that I do not own the weapon, have only shot it once for about five minutes, and it’s been several years since the picture was taken would not be considered relevant facts by the news media. They would have a field day with that picture.
Probably mental illness, along with my “white knighting” tendencies. Never mind that my illness makes it much less likely I’d ever do anything, even if I wanted to. I’ll have snapped because there is “too much evil in the world.”
Liberal, registered Democrat that voted for Obama, and will again. I own more guns (and ammo) than most teabaggers. I have a very eclectic book collection, and if they ever scored my search engine / browser history I’d be immediately convicted by the media. I have a driven and random curiosity that frequently crosses over into the morbid. I just like to know stuff. Even the gnarly bits.
