And the problem is that people when regarding fiction, constantly believe that crazy equals Yuno Gasai, or Joker. Trust me, it's a thing when people consume media with characters like that. For they believe that these traits are a dead giveaway as to deciding which characters need to be put in a padded cell

So, because people believe this mindset, the portrayal absolutely throws them off, because they'll say, "How can this guy be crazy? He doesn't look crazy to me! I mean, he's a sadistic dick, yes, but an unrepentant, mentally stable sadistic dick that knows what he's doing and fully embraces all kinds of evil!"
