Meanwhile, I've had something of the inverse of this experience? There were a bunch of rapes in my home town a few years back, and for a while everyone was talking about them and what they'd do if they caught the guy, and it was ... There were a lot of people talking about hunting the guy down and beating him to death, and there was this implication that that was not only normal but kind of the moral thing to want to do? Like, you didn't love your sisters enough if you weren't willing to go hunt a guy down and kill him for them? And meanwhile I was there, and I could imagine fighting someone, maybe even killing them, in self-defense or defense of my family, if they attacked me first, but actually hunting someone, going to kill them, was not a thing I could picture myself doing. Even for myself or my sisters. So. You know.

I think it does depend on the individual and the context? In some places/times/circumstances it's maybe considered more normal/moral than others to want to harm someone, and people really do have different responses and desires relating to violence.

Same. I don't want to go and hunt people down and punish them. I do get angry that someone dared to think his (usually his) wants were more important than someone else's safety, but not in a way where I want to punish them myself.

You're not alone, nonny.

I think maybe I'm a little different than a lot of people when it comes to discussions like this, because I actually have hunted people down to deliberately hurt them or make them suffer, and I've gotten in plenty of fights and stuff for not-morally-upstanding reasons. I've tried to kill people (though thank god never succeeded) for reasons other than self-defense. So, I CAN imagine myself hunting someone down or killing them.

But a lot of people think of that with some amount of glee. Like you said, like it's normal or moral to want to do that to bad people. And for me, I don't get that at all. Hurting someone, even a bad person, for me it's just about the most miserable thing in the world.

Yeah, I have a hard time with wanting to hurt people, even nasty cruel ones, who I mostly just wish could be sent to desert islands where they couldn’t hurt anyone else. Like, my maternal grandfather raped his wife and kids including my mom, and while I’m glad he’s long dead and maybe even that he died of a ruptured esophagus and not quietly in his sleep, I couldn’t imagine killing him unless maybe it involved time traveling back to stop him hurting his wife and kids or something, and even then I’d still rather he went to jail.
