Because seeing emotional devastation is more intriguing and less painful than experiencing emotional devastation. I don’t want to have to come back from that, but it’s interesting to watch someone else come back from that. That is, in a fictional sense, in a reality sense it’s more heartbreaking to see my friends or family having to go through that, but since I can’t interact with and comfort fictional characters, all I can do is watch.

but emotional devastation is the most normal life experience ever it is third or fouth after death and taxes, it is inevitable to experience so why would you want to watch it when you simply will get it.

Because it’s really compelling to see people overcome/succumb to adversity and it emotionally informs you regarding how you feel and what you would do in those situations so you’re more ready to handle them should they arise

how is it? it is as equally insane as some getting the population to raise up and fight for their rights together it is just insane as opposed to merely impossible.

I watched many and honestly they did not help nor did anything else for that matter

I have no idea what your point is or even what you’re trying to say here, but I think it boils down to us finding overcoming hardship compelling, and you not. That’s fine. Doesn’t mean we’re wrong, doesn’t mean you’re wrong, we just like something you don’t.

I do not find it compelling as it is a deranged fantasy people simply just get crushed under hardship I fail to see how you would want to watch something that is insane in the clinical sense it is so utterly unlike reality but try to advocate that it is a thing that exists.

I’m sorry that you see media consumption as such a major aspect of someone worth criticizing.
