    When a paraphilic mental disorder is named after you, that is how you gain infamy.
    Corporal Punishment, you might create a neurotic member of society, or you may create the first sadist.

    I really enjoy your videos, and I appreciate that this didn’t devolve into sensationalizing De Sade. It’s clear you put a lot of thought and effort into the topics you cover. It’s refreshing.

    I don’t know why but this reminds me of that South Park episode where the boys read Catcher in the Rye and they write their own story The Tale of Scroddy McBoogerBalls and the adults read it and claim it’s the best book they ever read

      I agree! A lot of extreme horror like this just feels like it’s jam-packed with the most offensive, unrealistic situations things people can think of which honestly makes it come off as silly in a way

      When I'm sick, I like to read stuff about other people being sick. It feels good to commiserate, or remember that it could be much worse. This, however, seems like it would have the opposite effect. Attempting to power through your nausea like that shows strength that I do not have.
      Why would you do that to yourself.

    The “book” is so over the top in its disgusting depictions that, dare I say, it’s pretty boring to read. The film is actually tame compared to the book, but it is hard to watch.

      I actually have to agree. I read it, several times just to make sure I had a comprehensive understanding of what I was reading, and yeah. It's disgusting, depraved, downright psychotic, and painfully boring the same way edgy teenagers are.

      I watched the movie with a friend and there was a lot of pausing and just sitting in silence of what we were watching. I don’t remember much of it now I locked it away in a vault I just remember sitting in silence with my friend and feeling disgusted. The only reason we watched it cause we heard it was ‘banned’ but idk if that was true now

  • @OlinJamesNettles
    @OlinJamesNettles 7 місяців тому +1

    For an 18th-century French lit seminar, we had to write a final paper on any author of the period. None of the others grabbed me too much, and I thought De Sade at least sounded different. "It's the 1700s,," I thought. "How twisted can it be?" WOWZA. I have a very high bar for being disgusted or shocked but holy cow! And it was so funny that amidst all the perversion, there were philosophical treatises trying to justify it all.

    what were his actual INTENTIONS??
    The actions themselves aren't as interesting as the INTENTIONS and PHILOSOPHY behind it.
