There's a hard but important differentiation to make here, in that with a Fictional Character such as Leatherface, Freddy Kruger, Jason, etc. it's easy to see and understand motivations passively. "Oh he thinks he's ugly so he makes a suit for himself out of the prettiest parts of other people to wear. I get that. I understand what the writer did there".
But when those things are born in your own head with little or no prompt... no extrapolation from pre-existing data, no historical context, just a "Well OF COURSE he does this horrible thing, because to him it's the only way to save her" and HOLY CRAP WHERE DID THAT COME FROM??? Is that how my brain works?
