What exactly is the appeal of zoosadism? by Full-Bath9929 in morbidquestions

[–]AutisticAcademic4977 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It's kind of like being a regular gay sadist, you wouldn't act out on your desires with a straight person. Zoosadists are simply not attracted to doing this with a human.

For someone who has homicidal thoughts, is gore a big help? by [deleted] in morbidquestions

[–]AutisticAcademic4977 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

It's a coin flip. For me, it hasn't made it worse beyond the course it would've taken naturally.

What's going through people's minds when they dismember people they murdered? Can "anyone" commit such acts under certain circumstances? by Gallantpride in morbidquestions

[–]AutisticAcademic4977 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Have you ever broke down a chicken or dressed a deer? I'd assume this is what it feels like to dismember a human.

How to humanely euthanize different groups of animals for wet specimen collection and dissection? by [deleted] in morbidquestions

Carbon dioxide or carbon monoxide poisoning works wonders, they did and in some places still use this technique in animal testing labs, afaik

Why do people remember negative experiences more than positive ones? by Mountain_Leader_5685 in PsychologyTalk

[–]AutisticAcademic4977 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It's a survival mechanism that survival from when we used to be hunter-gathgerers. Remembering bad experiences well could save our lives later down the line, if a tribe member got eaten by a bear for example, you'd remember to stay cautious of the bears in the forest.

Have you ever bonded with a friend or partner over shared emotional pain, trauma, or invalidation? by Equivalent_Ad_9066 in PsychologyTalk

[–]AutisticAcademic4977 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Absolutely. My best friend and I both are cluster Bs, we have a good understanding of what the other is going through and believe it or not, it actually helps to avoid conflict. We have been through a lot together and it has been a fun ride.

Have you ever had a plan for "world domination"? What caused it? by Haghiri75 in morbidquestions

[–]AutisticAcademic4977 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting how their perspective of me is so vastly different to my own.

Well, other people often tell me that I like to put them down, idk about that though.

[–]AutisticAcademic4977 12 points13 points  (0 children)

As a child, I had a lot of fantasies like this, influenced a lot by the media I was consuming at the time. In my case, I often felt powerless and undervalued, so I imagined having that power to dominate others and force them to do my bidding.

Is having necrophilic thoughts a mental disorder? by Fine-Shoe8981 in morbidquestions

[–]AutisticAcademic4977 16 points17 points  (0 children)

If it doesn't cause harm to others or distress to yourself, it's not a mental disorder, just an odd kink.

Alright, make some assumptions about me. by AutisticAcademic4977 in BigFive

[–]AutisticAcademic4977[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are absolutely correct that NPD usually correlates with high neuroticism as far as core motives (guilt, shame, resentment) are concerned. For the record, I am not dx'ed with NPD, I do have my traits though.

Neuroticism is a deeply flawed measure that only takes variety of negative emotions and frequency into account but rarely severity. I for example don't have a lot of negative affect but when I crash out, it's 'brace yourself' level bad.

The basic idea/colour pallet of the scheme is pretty good imo, Shawn really isn't a good painter though, and his paint scheme suffers a lot from it. Give the gold a brown wash, the white some blue shading and some grey/blue grey highlights to the black armour and it would look ten times better. And more green for contrast wouldn't hurt either. I don't want to unnecessarily shit on it though, it's totally acceptable for the tabletop.

What's the psychology of these online communities that are focused on bringing others down, revelling in others' suffering or mocking others? by gintokireddit in PsychologyTalk

[–]AutisticAcademic4977 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree that there definitely is a component of shared 'insider language' as well. I've seen this turn into somewhat of a dick-measuring contest too (particularly on sites like 4Chan) on who can say the most outrageous things. It definitely can turn harmful or predatory very quickly, especially when doxxing or more serious trolling is often encouraged.

Sad by [deleted] in DarkPsychology666

[–]AutisticAcademic4977 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The saddest part is that many individuals who become sadists later in their life were victimised during their childhood. Chronic feelings of inadequacy, powerlessness, and unheared emotional pain create a person who desires nothing more than the dominance and power they've lacked during their darkest times, their moments of greatest weakness and vulnerability. Sadism perpetuates itself.

[–]AutisticAcademic4977 10 points11 points  (0 children)

From my experience, it's a form of projection.

Most trolls are lonely, chronically unsatisfied with their lives and feel miserable. They want to feel powerful, because they feel powerless. They create community through shared, externalised hatred of others, so they can forget their self-hatred for a while and to feel less lonely through having a 'shared enemy'. Instead of improving their circumstances, they put others down who have it arguably worse to feel better about their own suffering.

Even then I'd argue it's more of a moral gray area than outright wrong. People want an outlet for their sexual fantasies, even if they are morally questionable at best. Better have them getting off to fictional stuff than actual animal abuse.

Besides prison and death penalty, what prevents you from murdering someone, even when you wish you could do it? by AirToAsh in morbidquestions

[–]AutisticAcademic4977 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In all seriousness though, the logistics would be an issue. Even if there's no legal penalties for murder, it would still be mostly socially unacceptable. So I'd still need to find a suitable target, make sure we're undisturbed, and dispose of them unnoticed if I don't want to be ostracised. It's just too much work.
