Yeah, that's really more cruel

I mean there are degrees to that. I mean sure watching people get beheaded/beat to shit (for no reason) then yeah I think that can be a clear sign. Lets be fair and say much of comedy is based on the idea of laughing at the suffering of others. There are many forms of comedy and typically the target of who is "suffering" changes. Like I just don't think if people watched something like Jackass makes them a "bad" person.
