When was the last time you experienced Schadenfreude?
Sadism is when you derive pleasure from inflicting pain upon others.
But what is "Schadenfreude"?
This post is a direct result of a pink Anon posting this question... "Is it weird to get turned on by rape?"
Here is what she said in the body of her post...
"When I was young (11) I liked to watch movies about pregnant women in tough and life threatening situations. Then it developed into liking rape scenes, then abuse and even incest but specifically a man's violence towards a woman.
I have no idea what the root of this is. I was assaulted but it has no correlation to my preference and happened before I figured out why I like specific scenes so much. I didn't enjoy what happened to me which leads me to believe I wouldn't actually enjoy rape. But I can't help but fantasize. Something about dominance, male strength, taking something and being a woman who is defeated and forced. Whenever there are rape scenes my stomach gets odd feeling almost like butterflies but with an urge.
I know rape fantasy is semi normal but I have had an sexual obsession with male violence towards women from a very young age and want to find out why"
"Schadenfreude" is when you derive pleasure from seeing someone else in pain that you did not directly inflict yourself but was either self-inflicted by the person in pain or inflicted on them by a third party (someone other than yourself).
Shadenfreude translates from German as ‘harm-joy’, is the strange pleasure that we experience in response to another person’s misfortune.
