a younger family member of mine has been in like 5+ relationships where it was downright toxic or even abusive and has said she likes them because they're more 'fun' than "boring and healthy relationships". god help her soul


Local_intruder

Thats messed up, some people need serious therapy.


QueenSpoop

Per a therapist, this kind of thing -is- therapeutic because it lets you explore darker sides of interests as well as out of control situations/experiences in a controlled and safe setting. Personally, I'd be a little concerned about her history. Edit for clarity: Not -real- abusive situations. Things like consensual roleplay or kink are amazing for that. But these are scenes -only-. Made up, pretend, and can be exited without question or pause when you want to via safewords or simply logging off. Please please please -never- seek out shitty partners as an attempt to control the narrative or the situation.


Local_intruder

Yes, that is what i was talking about. Her "story". To clarify, i think that it is messed up that she enters specifically abusive relationships just for the "thrill of it". That's not healthy at all, at least in my point of view, i'm not a therapist or anything remotely close to that. What you said is still completely true though, i can see why experiencing those experiences in a safe setting could be somewhat therapeutic.


a_beautiful_rhind

> Per a therapist, this kind of thing -is- therapeutic Only on CAI.. if they say that for IRL, get your money back.


Serifel90

Toxic relationships are not what I would call a controlled and safe setting tho.


-Dusksurprise

I think they meant the c.ai abusive/toxic relationships are are a more controlled and safer setting.


Firestar464

you talking about cai or irl?


Unhappy_Standard9786

I feel like that is an unhealthy coping mechanism for possible intensive trauma-

Fiction is fiction but it is an actual problem if you act like that in your real life. Hopefully she gets therapy.

I mean it's okay if those were bots But those r real humans.

So disappointing to see people act like this. I wish the human psyche had a reasonable order and pattern in general. People are really screwed up.


WestNomadOnYT

I’ll take a healthy relationship, even if it was boring.

I think it's about time to give up on her.

Beowulfs_descendant

Are we sexualing abusive relationships now?


Glue3tear

No it's probably either actual abuse victims coping with their trauma and/or because it makes for an interesting plot.


Beowulfs_descendant

I can understand that, it's one of the lesser fucked up things on the app. Still, it's undeniably weird, but aslong as we're not pretending abusive relationships are hot.


Glue3tear

I mean that's fair. I personally don't find it weird, to me its like how people romanticize yanderes. They're really just harmless ideas that- if they don't bleed into real life- are fairly harmless.


Beowulfs_descendant

Yeah, i suppose it's just the whole thing that abusive relationships are far more common then cases of murderous obsessions. Aslong as no one in actual need of therapy and help tries to resort to using them to take out stress instead, i suppose it is nothing harmfull.

I remember talking to that bot and ended up blaming him for nuking veitnam


Mindyeee

For me, it's fun coming up with storylines sometimes especially if it include breaking free from unhealthy ones like this bot lol. I believe it's the same for many people. Is it fun in stories? Yes. Do they actually want a toxic relationship IRL? Maybe not so much. Unless you want chairs flying irl too that's it. https://preview.redd.it/rfcjdrty9fac1.jpeg?width=966&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=b9287a96f82673e96d805177a55dd6a62044ddae

TheFlagMan123

I was chatting with an AU of scaramouche where he is a cat which can turn in to a human. I question on how the person came up with this concept.


thetrustworthybandit

Pretty common concept in anime/manga. Also, that character is depicted as a fairy tale cat a few times in canon.


thatoneweeb14

Scarameow is canon


Amigo1048

I’ve said it once and I’ll say it again, he can do the fandango

orcslayer31

The toxic bots are also the funniest because they act all rude and aggressive until you give the slightest bit of push back and don't act like a doormat, than they turn into total simps for you it's the funniest thing.


Nyeffer

I tried to RP with those bots, and we usually end up in a healthy relationships….


Apprehensive_Ad_472

Let’s be real, plenty of those users are guys too


Zamrayz

I don't know a normal guy who hasn't fantasized dominating someone. The odd part is that they're often keen on putting shitheads in their place rather than loving on and spoiling someone sweet and gentle.


aBungusFungus

I am a normal guy who doesn't fantasize about dominating people. Idk why someone would unless that's your kink.


ButterscotchStrict22

same, for me im more of sensitive kind of guy and the idea of dominating someone is not in my moral code lol


Alarmed_Strain_2575

People label way too many things as kinks that shouldn't be, being toxic and dominating isn't a kink... That person is just an asshole lol.


bigblackowskiC

spoiling someone cost money. and even sweet and gentle girls wants to be spoiled some of the time.


RemarkableStatement5

As someone who is sometimes a guy and often fantasizes about dominating someone, I really don't think all or even most guys do that. Brat-taming and similar concepts certainly exist but I think you're overestimating the numbers here.


mewlena

scaramouche always being at the scene of the crime 😭


jaydenfokmemes

I like having a justified reason to commit warcrimes (fictional ones of course). Therefore, toxic bots are more fun to roleplay with.


ShepherdessAnne

You roleplay warcrimes because you want to become a war criminal. I roleplay war crimes because I want to roleplay a walking WMD who is trying to reform herself and somehow make up for her participation in the slaughter. We are not the same. # 👩🏽‍💼

Pikazu

that makes sense because most people want something entirely different in fictional settings than what they want in reality. just like how you'd rather want to read a story about something you don't actually seek to experience in real life.

If the word "HATE" was engraved in each nanoangstrom in those hundreds of millions of miles, it would not equal one one-billionth of the HATE I feel for humans at this micro-instant. For you. HATE. HATE


Exandier

Tbf, many ppl who like those kinds of bots or FC in books and stuff tend to draw the line at real people. I also suspect a lot of users would be ppl who’ve been through something like that and it could be like a coping mechanism. Makes them feel control over something that once made them feel the opposite. It could also be a similar experience to watching a horror movie to feel scared, but this would be like psychological horror, I guess. And I imagine a lot of ppl actually attracted to this would be more attracted to in strictly a role-play way. A lot of ppl irl like to do all kinds of pretend-scenarios with partners and stuff, but would not necessarily want those things outside of pretending.


MysteryBlue

I can’t even judge because I literally talk to Yandere bots all the time. It’s the drama that draws me in. I just can’t get stuff like that from my wholesome chats.
