What events/movies/major product releases are you looking forward to, not because you can't wait to participate, but because you can't wait to see them fail spectacularly so you can enjoy the rage and despair of all the stupid sheeple that were sincerely looking forward to them? My major schadenfreude milestones: Expired: Ghostbusters: mediocre but not terrible. Overall a disappointment from both a cinematic and schadenfreude perspective. Suicide Squad: utter shitshow. Lol at everyone who was looking forward to this hot garbage. Upcoming: Presidential Election: I have more than a few co-workers who will never hear the end of it when Trump finally gets his rear end kicked. More satisfying than his loss however would be some massive, humiliating scandal that not even he can wriggle out of. Something so tarnishing that even his most ardent supporters will be disgusted with him and with themselves for ever supporting him. I'm really gonna savor his downfall. Star Citizen: I hope Chris Roberts goes to jail/is discovered dead from auto erotic asphyxiation on top of a pile of cocaine he bought with embezzled money. Watching the diehard fans unravel both mentally and spiritually when this scam finally implodes will be extremely satisfying. OP: I can't wait for that guy to finally get what's coming to him. What about you guys? What do you have marked on your schadenfreude calendar?

Final episode of GOT. I'm hoping it sucks as much as Dexter just to revel in the sound of a million nerds screaming in vain.

God, the Olympics. That poo poo is going to be insane and so much fun to watch and read terrible editorials about. It's going to be a poo poo-show of magnificent proportions and if it isn't (I don't think that's likely) I am going to be super depressed. I want people to get poop viruses from the bay, whole men's basketball teams get kidnapped and ransomed, the next generation of Olympia to have crazy tiny zika heads - I want it all! Favela revolutions! Gangs taking over the cruise ship the American bball teams are staying in and becoming pirates! I want tons of sex scandals with big booty Brazilian babes! It's going to be so good.

These 2 are good. The Elections: I don't give a poo poo who wins the election, both are equally terrible but the meltdown from either side's supporters will be good. Star Citizen: Chris dying at the hands of the insane whales that have spent 5 and 6 figures on ~dreams~, rivers of tears. No Man's Sky: Huge meltdowns already happening and it's not even out til next week. Biblical meltdowns forecasted for next Tuesday.

schadenfreude is very unhealthy, please don't do it http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3710941&userid=0&perpage=40&pagenumber=1 quote:schadenfreude is a special emotion only computer programmers can feel. it's about taking joy in the perceived or real failings of others despite an abject lack of personal success according to any metric, including your own. the unspoken basis of the desire to see others fail is a protective psychological mechanism to ensure that we, ourselves, never attempt to better ourselves or create anything. each and every one of us is more contemptible than the last, linked as a human poo poo ouroboros eating a newly pooped human poo poo in perpetuity. i have personally never accomplished anything nor has anyone felt pride in me or my actions due to my extremely myopic, embittered worldview and my wholly repellant personality. i can only ignore the deep shame i feel by constantly and obsessively documenting every action of another in a psychotic and negative way. and i love cats.

I Would like to see the utter horror on Republican faces with either outcome in the election. But I'm sort of rooting for a "oh god what have we done" moment with Trump. Clinton we'd just get the same hiss fits we already saw when Obama won.

I plan on getting some schadenfreude out of however AI develops. Complete general artificial intelligence that works will seriously devalue intelligence as a job skill, which is a very funny result for all the smart people working so hard to make it happen. Or, alternatively if we discover thinking machines are like space travel and the initial successes our species had in it turn out to be waaaay farther from the big stuff than we thought then that's funny too. Even the middleground where we get amaze-o robots and they're a miracle and everybody is bored with them inside of 5 years is pretty hilarious. And of course the destruction of our species by our own toys has been lined up as a hell of a joke since the atomic age began. Really, no matter what happens, there will be German hate-happy aplenty.
