I’ve met sociopaths and at least 2 psychopaths. They do not feel like an autistic person (although someone can be both). They are distinct and sharp, like swords. Autistic people are pretty “normal” to me, I think of Kristen Stewart, Elliott Page, or Temple Grandin - pretty straightforward people who aren’t malevolent or malicious. Temple is actually quite famous for her empathy.
My personal opinion is that Mr Beast is probably not a good person based only on the one clip I’ve ever seen of him - talking about how he would pick a girlfriend. It was very objectifying. He talked about women like they were property. The sociopath allegation doesn’t surprise me, because he definitely has something not right with him. Which is being confirmed by his own staff having serious concerns about messed up things he did.
Psychopathy is Greek for “mental illness”. I’ve met sociopaths with autism, and every one of them was definitionally a psychopath too. But I’ve also met psychopaths with mental illnesses like depression or PTSD, who were not sociopaths. I’m pretty sure every sociopath is also a psychopath. And if you’ve only ever met 2 mentally ill people, you are definitely not an expert on psychopathy and you shouldn’t be spreading misinformation on the internet.
And pedophile is ancient Greek for lover of children. I know lots of people who would say they love kids, but it’s simply incorrect to call them pedophiles.

It’s almost like the literal translation of Greek words isn’t our point of reference at this stage. Weird.
Also, are you an expert on psychopathy? What gives you this expertise?
