I was originally thinking of giving him reasons for his actions that would possibly be considered "justifiable" or a major driving force. But after consideration I feel like it's more realistic to have him use his own experiences as excuses for why he is the way he is, when they really aren't reason enough from an outside perspective. I absolutely agree with you too, it's a fun genre but in all actuality this behavior deserves at the least actual repentance or therapy lol.
