Ah okay, I see what you're saying now.
I was less interested in the context and more on the clinical criteria.

You misunderstand, the definition of a mental illness is a significant impediment to normal and healthy behaviour. It's not defined by the media.
Take for example, anxiety. It may or may not cause mental illness, depending on whether the anxiety is clinically significant.
Everyone gets anxious at times, but excessive anxiety is detrimental, and therefore, a mental illness.
Whether something is "a thing" depends on what "a thing" is.
If you're saying it isn't a mental disorder, you're correct, depending on the diagnostic manual, like the DSM-5.
However, any addiction can be a clinically significant mental illness if it is impacting a persons ability to function.
If someone is habitually neglecting their health, finances, or social bonds (especially relationships), then porn addiction is definitely "a thing" (mental illness).
Surprisingly not the onion.
A torrent of water, if you will.
The first Saw was such a breath of fresh air. It wasn't necessarily about enjoying watching people hurt themselves to survive, it was more of a plot device for the mystery and head games Jigsaw was playing.
I'm partial to enjoying body horror films. The Sadness was fucking disturbing, the extreme violence elevated the horror element. With Saw, you're really only watching for the violence, not much else is going on.
"Oh fuck, that must mean something was there before, keep rolling perception checks, whatever it is must be around here somewhere"
Twas a joke, friend.
She's wearing high heels, she isn't really that tall.
Did you watch the 2013 Evil Dead reboot?
It's about as derivative as derivative gets, and it was fucking amazing.
The director also worked on this one, so I'm hyped.
Sometimes remaking the wheel (Prometheus) doesn't suit the franchise. Give me some "stumble upon Alien, get face raped" please, with extra thrust.
The current results showed an overall significant positive association between pornography use and attitudes supporting violence against women in nonexperimental studies. In addition, such attitudes were found to correlate significantly higher with the use of sexually violent pornography than with the use of nonviolent pornography, although the latter relationship was also found to be significant.
Turns out people want to reenact what they see.
Anecdotally, it's true. Many guys I've known have talked about what they've done in the bedroom. Everything from "surprise anal" to ignoring obvious struggling during blowjobs.
This is coming from guys who would otherwise never hurt a fly, but become absolute shitheads when their caveman brain takes over.
