Trait: Sadist
This character identifies as someone who enjoys performing unpleasant, painful or humiliating acts on others, or feels positive emotions upon seeing such acts being committed. It doesn’t matter if the character expresses this inclination inside or outside of the sex scenes.
The trait applies if the character verbally or visually confirms to be a sadist, or if we can discern it through the words and actions of other people. It’s not necessary for the character to commit visible sadistic acts to be labeled a sadist – being identified as one is enough.
The trait does not apply to comedic characters with a personality which enjoys teasing others to an exaggerated extent, or those who engage in comedic violent acts.
Consider using Sexual Sadism instead, if the character only displays sadistic impulses during the sex scenes.
