A person could turn Joker as a result of being a lifelong
underdog while being abused, marginalized, and having his or her dreams trampled.
An atavistic archetype emerges to dominate the individual’s psyche to facilitate vengeance with a smile.
The function of turning Joker is to bring trauma to former tormentors who now become victims and objects of his or her vengeance.
This is the 21st century version of
Travis Bickel or Mr. Hyde. Another president for turning Joker can be found in the 1971 soul song Thin Line Between Love and
Hate.
A term used by Sam Jay in season 2 episode 2 of her
HBO series Pause with Sam Jay.
