I just kind of wonder with how casually people express these thoughts. It’s a little disturbing how normalized it is to entertain such notions, given how other types of fantasies are very stigmatized.

Like when discussing char.ai, acting out sexual or romantic fantasies is something a lot of people do, but it’s considered embarrassing. While people freely discuss violent roleplays without any shame.

And then there’s the cliche of fantasizing about killing one’s boss or coworkers.

Are these really common thoughts for mentally sound people to have?

    OP Is ok. Don’t tell me that you have not had a dick of a boss that was cruel to you and thought about ways to kill the SOB. The thoughts are fine but putting it into action is a whole different thing.

      Dick of a boss? Yes.
      Thought of shouting at him, telling how I feel? Yes.
      Thought of brutally murdering him? No.

      Mmm no, can’t say I have. I have tried to come up with the perfect way and time to quit that most inconveniences them, you know make them feel my missing labor. Or fantasize a Newsies-style unionization. But not murder, no
