Hybristophilia. Know what that is? If you're reading this website, chances are that you have it. Are you disturbed yet? Keep reading.
Any word with the suffix -philia means "lover of," and usually in a very dirty, unclean, filthy, nasty way. This particular word is no exception. It's a paraphilia, which means "powerful and persistent sexual interest other than in copulatory or precopulatory behavior with phenotypically normal, consenting adult human partners."
Have I hyped this up enough?
Let's talk to some sexologist named John Money. (What the hell kind of name for a sexologist is that? On a similar note, is there any name that's a good name for a sexologist?) He explains that hybristophilia is "a paraphilia of the marauding/predatory type in which sexuerotic arousal and facilitation and attainment of orgasm are responsive to and contingent on being with a partner known to have committed an outrage or crime."
There is one symptom for this condition. That symptom is a sexual attraction to people who have committed crimes.
Currently, there are no known treatments for hybristophilia.
There's a disorder out there that makes you love supervillains, and there's no cure.
You know what disorder makes you love superheroes?
Neither do I.
Now, I'm not saying we should exploit this, but... we should definitely exploit this.

Yeeeees...a totally exploitable weakness in our readership. We should cultivate it...find some way to make it spread like a disease amongst those of you who just really dig us bad guys. Cause...you know...all we really want is love. And to control the world.

Hmm... Logically, the larger the crime, the larger the effects of this disorder.

It isn't ALL evil that attracts me, Lady Unpleasantries; only your methods.

My species reproduce constantly. With ourselves.
We're also mainly attracted to broken dreams and despair
