Social media experts say Americans have shifted from traditional morality to a system where justice is determined by how “aesthetic” the killer’s motives are. “It’s not about whether it’s right or wrong,” said digital ethicist Kayla Bronski. “It’s about whether the backstory could score a Netflix deal.”

Luigi Mangione, whose well-documented tale of vengeance features betrayal and an impeccable jawline, has become the poster boy for this trend. “Sure, he technically broke the law,” said one fan on Twitter. “But have you seen his abs? Also, his tragic montage with Clair de Lune playing? Justified.”

Critics argue this newfound moral flexibility is dangerous. “Are we really excusing murder just because someone’s hot with a complicated past?” asked one legal analyst.

Still, the poll results speak for themselves: as long as there’s a cinematic narrative and good lighting, America is willing to let it slide.
