LAWL Sadism
14 years ago
We has it. All us people who watch snakes eat.
At least, according to this kid on my school bus. I asked him if he wanted to watch my snakes eat yesterday (I broadcast feeding on Livestream every weekend), and after a short conversation about how busy he was, he responded, "From your first comment, I thought you were a sadist." I asked him to explain himself, and he never answered.
I asked him again today, and the conversation went like this (these are all DIRECT quotes):
Me: Hey you.
Him: can't talk. busy.
Me: No no, you can take a minute to answer a question.
Him: uh, no, I can't, i'm extremely busy and you're not gonna tell me what i can and cannot waste my time on
Me: No. But YOU can't insult me and then not explain yourself. I let you get away with it last night. And how the hell is answering my question "wasting your time"? You're ruder than you admit.
Him: by calling you a sadist? get over yourself i was obviously kidding
though taking pleasure out of one species consuming another species live is sadistic
Me: Excuse me? I do NOT feed my snakes live prey, first of all. Second, I enjoy watching my snakes being snakes. I'm sorry.
Him: why did you want me to look at them than? sharing the consumption of a species with me?
Me: Third, snakes don't consume their prey live. They kill it first.
Him: that is sadistic, and you cannot deny that
Me: Yes, I can.
Him: whether they kill it or not, if you take pleasure out of it, it is sadism
Me: I thought maybe, seeing that you go to a biology school, you might enjoy seeing what an evolutionary wonder they are.
Him: i dont go to a biology school. I go to a mathematics, science, and technology school. of which those sciences are mainly environmental. not biological
Me: Biology falls under science, dear.
Him: dear?
Me: Yes, dear.
Him: whatever. nevertheless you thought wrong. and frankly i don't care if i offended you. whether i said im sorry or not your opinion of me would not change
Me: So next time, do yourself a favor. Say "Sorry, no thanks, that's not my thing" instead of calling me a sadist. Save yourself the trouble.
Well now, no, it won't. But if you hadn't said it in the first place, I'd think a hell of a lot higher of you.
Him: look, if you took serious offense to calling you a sadist, im sorry
maybe you shouldn't start off with something that clearly makes you sound like one. and just an fyi. i don't curse, have sex, do drugs, kill insects for the fun
i save them. im the person who goes around and saves them from the pool. im a devout catholic. community service is #1 in my life. well, #2 after God. there is nothing about me that makes me a bad person
Me: I did not say you were a bad person.
Him: and if something so insignificant like the joke i said last night bothers you and puts me on the same level as drug dealers, pot smokers, deliquants, and other sc*m, than you clearly have no sense of right or wrong
Me: Woah woah woah. When the hell did I compare you to drug dealers?
Him: you didn't but you said you thought less of me
Me: And I think a hell of a lot less of drug dealers.
Him: whatever. do you take pleasure in your snakes eating process? yes or no
Me: Yes. But not because I enjoy the rat's death. THAT would be sadism. I enjoy seeing the snakes doing what they were designed to do. The same way I would enjoy seeing birds fly.
Him: whatever. it is totally different
Me: It is not.
Him: it is. like i said you have WASTED my time. don't talk to me, i am busy
Me: No, it's not. Because I don't enjoy pit bulls tearing each other apart in a ring.
Him: "Want to watch snakes eat?" wanting someone to share in the same apparent euphoria that you felt about snakes eating. share it with someone else next time. i don't care about your snakes
Me: There are nicer ways to tell me that the first time.
Him: oh well, ill know for the next time someone is crazy enough to want to share that sort of thing with me
Me: What the hell? Why are you personally attacking me like this?
Btw, scum is not a curse. It's okay, you can type it out.
Him: it is ignorant, however
Me: What? That doesn't even make sense. Scum is a film found on the bottom of still bodies of water and a solid coating of soap found in bathtubs.
He never responded to that.
So yeah. It may be petty to post this here, but I wanted to ask you guys what you thought of this. Note, I've never had a legitimate problem with this kid before, but being the in-your-face, down-your-throat bible thumper he is, he thinks that I'm Satan incarnate or hellspawn or something because I'm an atheist. So he looks down on me (then again, he looks down on everyone who disagrees with him). I've done nothing but be nice to him ever since I met him, even tolerated him trying to convert me, but now, forget it.
Anyway, yep, all of us who watch our snakes eat, either out of fascination or to make sure they don't get hurt, we're all sadists now. Just thought I should let you guys know in case you want to see a therapist about it or something.
And PLEASE note, I have NO problem with Catholics or Catholicism or any other religious practice. This is not about religion or anything like that. It's about an ignorant individual insulting me for my fascination with a necessary part of nature.
I hope this doesn't get deleted, cuz I find it hilarious.

your comments made me lol
Ugh, I hate people like that. Everyone is titled to their own opinion, but when you shove it down someones throat is when I have a problem with that.
Religion is like a penis. It's cool that you have one. You can be proud of it. but please, don't shove it down my throat.
Sorry about all that :/
I wanna watch your snakes someday. I havent had the time, but I think I do now :3
I never really wanted a snake until I held my friends ball python >> HE WAS SOOOO CUTE >w< Im gunna see if my roomie will let me get one, and if so, I wanna rescue one :3
And I do know how cows are mostly killed, it's sad, actually. Fast, but sad.
And frankly, all the television shows like FBI and psychological dramas cast us in an INCREDIBLY bad light.
Not every sadist in the world is a bad person; in fact, I try my absolute hardest to make sure that I leave people in a better situation than I found them, if there is *any* way I can do that.
I only take sexual pleasure from seeing pain. I don't go out of my way to do it, and I don't go out of my way to make sure it happens...
I just get a rise out of it.
My mate is a masochist. It helps.
But regardless; I have a great deal of control over my sexual urges and don't go out of my way to be a bad person; in fact, I go out of my way to be a *good* one.
I'm a sadist.
I have no problem with sadism as a fetish, but sadism as a personality trait is a big issue and I don't care for it to be attributed to me.
I don't even mind a bit of bloodplay and I LOVE beating the shit out of characters in rp and art, but if someone accuses me of doing that in real life, I'm likely to be personally offended.
And yes, as a personality it is a great nuisance, and makes all of us look bad. *I* don't care for it to be attributed to *me*, but I'm not going to lie about it.
And I don't like knife/bloodplay outside of art or roleplay... but I personally love to strike people--especially if I can get a good squeal out of them.
But I ONLY do it with their approval. I'll go ONLY as far as they want to go.
Ugh.
It is just a stupid person being an ignorant bastard, in your case.
I know what you mean. I can be /so/ cruel to my characters in my stories and RPs XD But I only really like it in context, not in RL
