Guess I did something right after all with this one, haha.
I'm sure this is the reason why a lot of people here reads abuse story, though. No deep phillosophical or psychological reason, or any pretentiousness, or anything. I'm sure we can relate to Anon here~

That or having our fix of arrogant smug snakes getting mauled violently like the pathetic delusional weaklings they are. At least for the abuse stories with bad yukkuris as victims. There is nothing better after having to deal with real life smug snakes or your favourite series's smug snakes, than check yukkuris works with shitheads kicking it, feels good man.

Now why did I get the feeling that you'd respond when I was writing that comment up? :D
No, I'm pretty sure it's just for fun most of the time. It's like why people play GTA or watch Happy Tree Friends, or heck, even the SAW series, y'know, schadenfreude and all that jazz. No real need of projection or relating to RL, just some honest, entertaining fun. Of course, then there's the justice crowd, which imo are a bit on the silly side...
Dunno why is so hard to accept that some people have reasons to do stuff. People have different reasons to do things or enjoy things, it's part of, you know, "life" ?
Hold your horses there, JIE. I think he gets that, but he's technically right. For the most part it is fun- you get a lot of amusement and enjoyment out of seeing shitheads get kicked in and justice served. That doesn't mean it can't be a reason as well, mind.

Yarr, that's why I said 'most of the times' :) . It seems I over-generalized things back there, sorry about that... In no way am I trying to disprove you or stuffs like that, if that's the impression you got.
But yeah, just like what Tea said, it's basically that, imo most people read these stuffs because it's fun and entertaining. Seeing shitheads maimed and tortured is pretty fun, and seeing the good ones saved and all is pretty entertaining, but more than that, seeing yukkuris being kicked around like shit is pretty amusing, too, in a dead baby jokes-sort of way. In the end, without overthinking these things, the entertainment value is mostly the bottom line reason for enjoying these, no?
All it's cute and all, but where did i say that fun wasn't the reason or that it wasn't part of the reasons?
That was my problem overall, i just gave an alternate reason, just to add something to the discussion, not denying anything or calling anybody wrong, and somehow i'm interpreted like saying "NO FUN IS NO A REASON!" which would be stupid as hell if i said so, i mean, i'm the one who many times also comes out with the paralel of happy tree friends or those dark comedy shows while comparing the abuse genre of yukkuris.

Hope this makes things clear.
Yeah, sorry about that. If it makes any difference, I wasn't trying to say you were wrong or anything like that either. Sorry for the misunderstanding, semantic problems and all that here, really, no harm intended.
