My issue is with the suggestion that terms trending on xvideos means that "potential rapists" are searching for the term. It is made to be so clearly distinct from trends on Twitter which are somehow from good intentions only.
everyone tries to make sense of the tragedy in ways afforded to them. Trying to understand, somehow make peace with it it because what else can we do?
The pleasure is in satisfying that curiosity (not necessarily ENJOYING the outcome). If you can humour me, scopophilia in cinema is when a "spectator is mentally willing and morally capable of watching atrocities (torture, mutilation, death)" Part of this seems true for news too.
