No alot of sexual abuse people usually kill themselves

I did when I first saw it. I was 16 and dealing with childhood sexual abuse. I was in an abusive home too. I was a cutter and had attempted suicide. I related to the characters of the movie. When I saw Freddy as a kid being teased and dealing with a crazy step dad I felt horrible for him. When I saw him cut himself I was shocked. I didn't know cutting or self harm was common. It wasn't discussed back when this came out. But I felt awful for Freddy for just a second. Then reality hit. A bad childhood is no reason to hurt others. You can rise above those who harmed you and live a healthy life. Freddy decided his own fate. Not his past.
Exactly, this world is full of people who were abused as children and had crappy childhoods. Do they all turn out to be killers? I mean come on.

I hope everything is better for you now

Do I feel sorry for Freddy being dealt a crappy hand has a child? Yes. BUT, that doesn't forgive everything he did after.
Remember, a lot of the kids he killed in their dreams had pretty horrible childhoods too. Taryn was a poor drug addict at a very early age. Alice lost her mother at an early age and was then verbally abused by her drunken father repeatedly. Tracy was sexual abused by her own father. Carlos suffered permanent hearing loss due to cruel and unusual punishment.
A great deal of Freddy's victims were also dealt pretty bad hands as children. But NONE of them resorted to molesting and killing children. Heck, if Freddy was truly a sympathetic character, he wouldn't used the childhood trauma of his victims to make their deaths that much worse. Freddy is to be pitied but NOT excused.
Getting bullied doesn't mean it's okay to become a mass murderer. That's like saying all those high school shootings were totally justified because "The poor kid got made fun of, guys!! He should totally be forgiven for gunning down random students who didn't even have anything to do with his bullying!!" Getting abused by a stepfather sucks but that doesn't excuse a grown man from abusing the children of others. "Oh no, officer!! It's fine that he molested and abused my child. I mean, HIS dad was so cruel to him 20 years ago so I understand"

Yeah.

No, they're talking about child murderer only Freddy Krueger.
I was more talking about when he was a kid he was abused by his stepfather and all that made him bad. I don't sympathize with him when he decided to molest and kill children but at the same time the reason he turned out that way is cause of being abused as a kid.
Green Goblin is great!

He was a child molester, too. People can spin it all they want, but there were plenty of allusions throughout the entire franchise that he molested the children, too; if it hadn't been for the McMartin controversy, Freddy would have been a pedophile as well as a child killer. A newspaper clipping from "The Dream Child" even says he molested them, as well as killed them.

No. And the minute you start to feel sorry for Freddy you've basically jumped the shark as a viewer. Yeah, he had rotten beginningsbut nahhe's not supposed to be viewed as a sympathetic figure at all. There's no goodness to Freddy to warrant sympathy, and I feel none for him at allnor do I want to.

I always thought it would be better if Freddy was born to a loving family, grown up in a nice home, and his parents had been affluent enough to see he wanted for nothing then he'd still turned out to be the maniac that he was. He did it because he enjoyed doing it, not because he had an excuse.
I always though evil was scarier if there was no reason for it.

I feel sorry that all the direct sequels after
Dream Warriors
turned him into a complete farce.
I want to live in a world of magic and miracles, not emptiness and entropy.

No, I don't feel sorry for him, because he just smashed a guinea pig with a sledgehammer.

It doesnt help that hes got the blood of a hundred maniacs running through his veins.

If I'm not mistaken there was a story written about Freddy, like an alt. universe type thing, there he was brought up in a good house and was given love and he turned out just fine.
It may have been part of F.K.'s 7 Sweetest Dreams.
But it makes me wonder what Freddy would have turned out like if he were brought up in a normal home with love.
Create a society in which you would like to live, not knowing what you're going to come into it as.

The kids made fun of him because he was a psychopath. It showed him killing animals in class. It's rather normal for children to make fun of a "freak" like that. And I can agree to some extent that sociopaths and psychopaths are made, but they're born different. Predisposed with no real conscience. A good upbringing with morals can help surpressed this, but people like that are always different. Lacking empathy and having no real issues with death.

It's been a while since I saw part 5. Actually it's been a long time since I watched any of the sequels except Freddy Vs. Jason.
