I'd say it's more nuanced by that, more of a case by case thing. I mean somebody's mind could be completely destroyed to the point that they're psychotic and lash out violently, or somebody's character could be shaped to a lesser degree that still allows them full control. In either case, it's more explaining than excusing in this film's case - but admittedly, we're not good at handling both and most will think any explanation is meant as an excuse.

@hernehaugen6878 Just showing some appreciation for someone else who dislikes acronyms, like we're all supposed to know what the latest string of lower case letters means.

Wait a minute, how can it ever be known if most stalkers eventually act on their fantasies? The only stalkers we could possibly be aware of are the ones that do - if anybody fantasies about stalking but doesn't stalk anyone, we wouldn't know they're having those fantasies unless they made it known. Obviously most people who fantasise about stalking aren't going to make that known, so we can never know how many people act on their fantasies. Just thought that was a pretty clumsy thing to throw in there so matter of factly.
