i agree, too many malkavians i think are played as silly and amusing characters, while in real life insanity is rarely a source of entertainment except to those with dark senses of humor. i remember watching a video of an interview with someone with dissociative identity disorder (multiple personalities) and it was not funny in the least bit. insanity is usually a source of great pain and confusion in a person's life. i can only imagine this would be even less amusing in a vampire.
