That said, I hate being sad. So I avoid media that makes me sad. At some point I think what we enjoy is somewhat arbitrary, like favorite color. There are mean movies I hate, and mean movies I love. I guess it's gotta be a "sum of the parts" thing.

Shock for shock sake" gets looked down on often but it can lead to extremely creative outputs. The Human Centipede 2, for example. A lot of movies that get labeled that way, though, are actually exploring ideas and themes.
