Yeah, our definition of abuse is different.

I think we're pretty much diametrically opposed on this matter. In my view, taking pleasure from hurting other people is always wrong, no matter if the victims want it. And sexualizing evil things is always evil.

Why is the reenactment of evil in a safe environment evil? Does the same go for plays or movies? Or is it l just the use of an evil backdrop for sexual context that's bad? If yes why is that okay for other things, but not for sex?

I won't argue about wether or not hurting someone for pleasure is bad, because you're entitled to your own morals. I just wanted to remind you, that bdsm does not have to involve pain.

To take pleasure from evil is evil, in my book. If a man wants to rape a woman, gets pleasure from the idea of forcing himself on a woman and the woman resisting him, takes pleasure in her pain and fear, that man is evil. I will never waver on that.

A man who plays a serial killer or a rapist in a movie is not taking sadistic pleasure in the role, one would hope. If he does, I would likewise label him evil.
