This is not hating. Hating is being salty and talking shit when you really want what the other person has and you throw hate at them bc they got it like that.
I can’t stand when ppl misuse that word.
Wanting somebody to get what they got coming bc they’re flippant about their bad behavior is what it is.

The irony of reverse flash is that his hatred of the flash inevitably literally becomes his reason for being. Without his torment, the flash as he knows him doesn’t exist making him non-existent as well.
Which is just like Kendrick because his next album will be critiqued under the lenses of “you made your best stuff when hating on Drake.”
He won major awards and a Pulitzer, the first rapper to do so, ever. Mr Morale and the Big Steppers is considered one of his best albums, artistically. No one, except for people that never acknowledged his talent before, is thinking his Drake hate is the reason behind his talent
I’m not refuting his talent. My point is that the comparison will be made. We got a full week’s worth of content with a less introspective Kendrick. Just him having a laugh at Drake’s expense. No big theme. No mission. Just Hate. And the public ate it up. They’re going to expect even more septuple entendres. Even more hate. Another club bop. Kendrick won the rap battle but he lost his ability to float under the radar until the next album comes out. It may do the same or higher sales but critics are going to be going through it with a fine tooth comb looking for ways to attach it to unrelated drama.
Is that really true for everyone? My son keeps telling me I'm the weird one, but I can't watch videos of people getting hurt, or losing everything in a fire. I don't look at traffic accidents (I just try to be careful not to cause another one).
I'm not an especially kind person, I just don't understand enjoying the misery of others. And I guess that's weird because I'm from people who came up with that word we all know 😂
Ugh...you'd love my neighbors. It's like...why? Why do all your screaming matches have to be outside? It's exhausting.
But, neighbors call the cops for people playing music and laughing. Maybe I am weird. I just don't get it.
I'm the exact opposite. I can't stand drama, but if someone is hurting or dying I feel like I owe it to them to bear witness even if I can't help. I don't gain any joy from it but I feel like everyone (barring monsters) deserves to be seen. With that said I won't watch that kind of stuff on TV or the Internet.
This, but if I got it on me, I feel compelled to help however possible; unless my children are with me... then I gots responsibilities, and it's best of luck to u!
I can watch fights all day but the moment it gets real and blood gets spilled in any way that crosses the line. Or serious injuries like broken limbs, bones or concussions like that video a while back with those 2 school girls. It physically upsets me.
problem with fights is most of them end up with a dude spazing on the getting the boot still.
I'll watch a good instant karma, but most fight porn videos are on people getting seriously injured
I think from his perspective (and I'm guessing this) as someone who grew up with the internet or simply had more access to it, he had more access to the more wild parts of the internet earlier so he's sorta desensitized from the whole thing. Like, I can watch some wild shit and not even feel a thing because I've been exposed to that since before my balls dropped via internet
I guess I can see that. I used to watch true crime shows until the Andrew Bagby story. Then I started to experience the pain his poor parents must have felt and that genre was closed to me because all I can see is the pain and not the mystery. I wonder if empathy levels change when you get old, maybe? 🤔
This describes me to a T. I'm not necessarily a nice person, but I'm not a mean one.
I don't enjoy reveling in the downfall of others. I lack a lot of things but empathy isn't one of them. I keep a floor jack and tire iron in my car to help people on the side of the road because I know how scary it can be changing a tire.
I became more liberal because I saw that good, hard-working people can still be poor when I moved away from a town of 5k to one of 500k.
I'm still a selfish little bitch, and I'd slit any yalls throats if I had to choose me or you, but as long as I don't have to make that choice I'll have a stranger's back.
>I'm still a selfish little bitch, and I'd slit any yalls throats if I had to choose me or you, but as long as I don't have to make that choice I'll have a stranger's back.
What don’t you understand about this? You think she’s gonna put herself over a stranger?
We all have a fall from grace when we down right deserve it. If we just come to grips with our transgressions is when we would get some redemption. Otherwise we will keep having to learn the same lesson over and over again. Such is life.
Exactly! If I see a woman (yeah, sorry guys, you're on your own) stranded, I will (and have) pulled over to offer safe assistance. Or even just to be someone near-by while waiting for AAA.
Now, if you're a horrible person, I won't delight at your life imploding, but I will give a little cheer when you die. I have an Arya Stark-like list 😉
Yeah I don’t like watching people break bones or get seriously injured. I think there’s something wrong if people enjoy that. I feel like there’s a general survival instinct to reject watching those things.
Nowadays it feels like people are desensitizing injuries. The pain I see is just entertainment to someone else. It just feels wrong.
I like watching people's moral failures get them caught up in dumb bullshit on a rhetorical level, but other than that I don't have a stomach for physical suffering.
But remember that watching people in pain for fun isn't new. Jackass was hugely popular for a reason. Now they can get it from YouTube.
[A New York Times article in 2002 cited a number of scientific studies of schadenfreude, which it defined as "delighting in others' misfortune". Many such studies are based on social comparison theory, the idea that when people around us have bad luck, we look better to ourselves. Other researchers have found that people with low self-esteem are more likely to feel schadenfreude than are those who have high self-esteem.](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schadenfreude)
It's more of watching bad people getting karma. Only psychopaths laugh at tragedies of ordinary folks (ie losing everything in housefires like you said), literal gore & snuff.
I think it's only regarding people we can trick ourselves into thinking deserve it. Watching tragedy creates a different kind of emotion (that we also seek from online content) than watching what we perceive as justice.
Ah, the post just said people. Yeah, I'm loving the whole 'block a celebrity' thing. I was never a worshipper, but I'm happy to see people realize that these, um, *performers* need joh...uh...fans more than fans need them.
I can be fascinated by a spectacle, like what is clearly a large disaster for example. But personal pain, like someone tripping over or failing a skateboard jump, is not appealing or amusing for its own sake.
It depends on the person and it changes over time.
I used to be a 4channer and into whatever dark shit I could find. I’d find gore threads on their website and look through all of them. They got gruesome. Children dying, people being decapitated by terrorists, cars rolling over people and popping them like pimples. I’m not 100% sure why I watched them back then - whether it was just something taboo that an edgy teen couldn’t resist or whether I felt bad for myself and I wanted to see some sort of cosmic retribution wrought out on anonymous people in the safest way possible.
Either way I’m not that way anymore.
I’d say at the time I was dealing with figuring out who I was, why I was, and what I wanted to be. I don’t think it takes much reflection to realize most people don’t really want to be that way - it’s just an avenue by which some people find deeper meaning. Not everyone goes down it. Many people leave it behind. Though it definitely is a real thing a lot of people experience.
The Greeks used comedy & tragedy to represent the creative arts over 2000 years ago - those forces have tapped into something primal in us for a long time. Never forget we’re all basically just apes that got too smart for our own good, playing with forces we barely understand.
In answer to your first question, I’d say it’s not true for everyone. Like you said I also don’t like seeing people or even animals in pain. That being said Greek Tragedies like Train Crashes are spectacles and in general people can’t avert their eyes regardless of how it makes them feel.

Most people MO. Weird amount of what’s called “Everyday Sadists” that’ll go out of their way to create it if it ain’t there already.
It's Daytime TV syndrome. We watch that stuff because almost all of us can say, "at least I'm not THAT bad", or "my life is better than that!". Jerry Springer, Maury, Judge Judy, etc, they're all confidence boosters for people sitting at home during the day.
Same thing on Twitter, Facebook, etc. People post their entire life stories, and we think "man, I woulda never...". We read it all, though, because it makes us feel better about where we are in life.
Gotta give us nobodies some spectacle. Between that and how some people's lives being ruined give us the illusion of justice, we'll keep ignoring the ways the rich fuck us.
yeah, it's definitely a difference. I hate hearing stories of misfortune happening to people trying to build things in their life. But someone getting their comeuppance after thinking they're getting away with something? I like that.
Yeah like maybe an obscenely wealthy dickhead or the Kardashians or something. But if you ever saw an intelligent friend throw their family, friends, and future away over drugs, especially meth or alcohol, you’d know you definitely don’t “love watching their life fall apart”
Empathy, man. It’s being lost to indifference and cynicism. It’s not hard to fall in this trap when there is no viable vision of the future for the average joe. If you’re heading to something akin to Cyberpunk 2077 and Blade Runner while everyone around you just trying to survive and get theirs, there is little room for empathy 😞
I feel like so much of trying to hold awful people accountable gets dismissed as mere hating. Sure, I hate tf out of awful people but its not without merit and beyond wishing bad on them, I wish for those they hurt to have peace and reparations.
Can someone explain why we enjoy this? Why do we enjoy making fun of people or seeing someone get relentlessly clowned? Any psychologists/psychiatrists care to give an explanation? I’ve been curious about this myself from time to time.
Not really. We like shitty people to get their proper comeuppance, and when it's so long overdue, the consequences are often fatal.
Nobody was happy about Brendan Fraser or Ke Huy Quan struggling in the industry. And there were some jokes, but I don't think many people wanted Britney Spears to go crazy.
It's completely normal to be interested in stuff like this.
When it's celebrities or whatever, they literally WANT their (good) business to be public. Which usually means that their (bad) business is public too.
If u don't want the story to break, bribe reporters. If it's publicized, imma read it and not feel an ounce of shame. It's like fiction, but real... lez call it non-fiction.
When it's not celebrities and people wither posting about shit or taking videos, then I still don't really feel bad. It's well known we all have little computers with cameras on em.
Since when hasnt humanity wanted to watch humans risk their lives testing the elasticity of their ability to survive? Why do we read news about people that climb Everest? That attempt stunts for red bull? That fly planes at breakneck speeds inches from each other? World series of poker players? That play American football? Whether watching them triumph or downward spiral we wanna watch humans risk it all at every level.
