Minor thing, but regarding the Goblin Slayer example, I fail to see why the "remarkably textbook example" quote has a link to the "Shown Their Work" page. I do not think that the goblins are intentionally and specifically based off of sociopaths in particular more than they were just made to be despicable in the same way sociopaths are. Thus, I feel that they do not show a particular amount of work for it to be commented upon. They are an example, but being called an example of "Shown Their Work" seems to be a bit much.

Gundam page is redlinked for some reason.

Would Gaara from Naruto count as an example?

Honestly, reading the work's wiki I am not seeing it. He's out to kill people but a sociopath? Doesn't seem like he has the traits.

Suzumiya Haruhi is not an example of this. She's self centered, impulsive and has difficulty noticing other peoples feelings but she does care about other people. it just takes a while for her to show it. (long enough that the anime hasn't gotten to that point yet.)

This is the ultimate state of human emotion. More passionate than hope. Far deeper than despair. It is Love. Hide / Show Replies

Yeah, that example is questionable. I've removed it.
