Is it normal to be interested in the dark side of human nature?

Things like genocide, torture, murder, ect. I just find it interesting, specifically the details and creativity. I don't know if it's because I'm trying to believe it or something.
Like for instance, I heard about how i Edo Japan, they would have something similar to a western circus, where they would kidnap orphen children and pour acid on their face, showing them as deformaties.
Or in class I heard that the nazis would conduct experiments.
I was curious, and tried to find specific information (which was very hard to find on the latter).
I just feel really curious about the creatively horrible thngs done to people.
I don't really feel much, definately not positive reactions. Sometimes I feel repulsed when I think about it, but mainly, I'm just curious and want to picture it.

    I'd have to say that it's normal, if you're just curious. I find it interesting, too.

    Depends on how it affects you...

    If you find it intellectually interesting, probably ok.

    If you feel nothing and have no empathy, probably not ok.

    If you get an erection, definitely not OK

    I read books about serial killers, criminals and anything to do with serious crime. I think if we ignore these things and don't attempt to acknowledge them, it will only make things worse in the long run.

    Sometimes we can only understand things properly when they go wrong. A broken brain is a lot more use to neuroscience than a working one, simply because it's different in specific ways, and those differences show us what those parts of the brain were up to in the first place.
