As would some guy who rips the heads off of beanie babies. The problem here
is that you seem to be taking this as coincidental, as two traits in a
person that have nothing to do with one another (i.e., he's a real jerk, and
he just happens to also torture Norns). What is it about people who find
pleasure in torturing cute things which makes them jerks (objectively or
subjectively...it doesn't really matter)?
