Comment on Is it weird that I enjoy imagining being a witness/victim of various tragedies?
Diabolo96@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 months agoKinda. Still, I believe it’s part of human nature. Morbid curiosity has led many of us into watching/reading about fucked up shit.

Morbid curiosity is different from enjoying the idea of witnessing a tragedy.
Morbid curiosity is wanting to know the solution to a mystery that is morbid in nature. It doesn’t necessarily involve getting enjoyment from a tragic event occurring.

I don’t get enjoyment from a tragic event occurring. And I disagree with your definition of morbid curiosity.
If you actually read what I wrote, you’ll see that I’m saying I enjoy being scared, not watching people die. The whole point of the “Roy” thing is that nobody is ever actually in danger. What I’m wanting is an artificial way to experience things like that, which would satiate my curiosity, morbid and otherwise, and gives me the nightmare experience at the same time.
