Yeah, a lot of more interesting things could have been done to them; like the stalk squeezing torture, putting it into tabasco, or just throwing them outside and watching them freeze/starve to death.
Seeing yukkuris happy is even more boring and old to me. Their suffering brings great delight and amusement, and I don't care if it's an asshole or not. At least with torture you get to see new ways of breaking them and making them scream. It's not really "pointless" either, as yukkuris are basically playthings for us. The artists will do whatever they want that gives them, and us the most satisfaction. They only basically 'exist' for that reason, anyway.
"Pointless" torture is wonderful. But there's nothing wrong with torturing an asshole, or a home invader either. It's not mutually exclusive, as your post implies. I've already said it, a lot of people just hate yukkuris. And don't worry, yukkuris aren't people so you don't have to worry that just because we hate yukkuris we're assholes.
Seeing a yukkuri die is like seeing a fire being put out, a hospital patient saved, a tree being planted, or garbage being recycled or turning off the light in an empty room. It gets boring after a while but there's always a feeling of a good deed done.

4. narr: "Then..." Anon: "Teaching a yukkuri to perform... Nice idea, wasn't it? Keep suffering forever, shit-Marisa! lol" "As for you guys, your role's over... *snicker* lol" "Now how about you hurry up and die for your mother's sake, okay? lol. Fuckin' garbage." --
Guessing on part of the first line. I have no real idea what 鬼威山 means; it doesn't show up in any dictionary I have, and a Google search turns up nothing useful.
I'm not saying that I want to see more of those crappy family friendly images of them sitting around eating or whatever. Those suck too.
I'm saying that it's boring to have reasonless torture. There's no gratification there. I'm not angry at the thing that's dying, so it's not really that interesting.
Well, that's just like, your opinion man. We all have our own personal tastes. I dislike yukkuris in general, so it's pretty gratifying to me to see them get pasted regardless of any reason.
PostItEase, a sick guy getting better or a family home being saved from burnt down is not a good thing? Wat?
@PostItEase You truly have a low opinion of humanity, don't you. Not everyone is out solely for themselves. Not everyone is a heartless bastard. There are 'strong' people that help 'weak' people rather than pick on them. Yukkuris are not people. They are pests with a little intelligence but no capacity to become anything more than pests, except for a very small minority. They are like criminals in cute, head-blob form with the ability to reproduce as fast as bacteria, are as destructive as any group of vandals, and are as hard to get rid of as AIDS.
Why do you defend these things? And on another note, they're not even real.
@aozf05 First of all, nothing that you are saying has anything to do with what I have said. Feel free to post your opinion on yukkuri, but I have no obligation to agree with you. Just because the medium is not real does not mean that the subject mater is of no consequent. @Tea Take it easy and reread the post in question until you understand easy.
