Masochism is a form of BDSM, and BDSM stays within the realm of possible, consensual and safe.

However, some posts are tagged masochism and contain gore or otherwise life-threatening scenarios. The characters being inflicted pain in these types of posts are enjoying it, so it makes sense to tag them as masochists.

This is seen a lot in candy gore and food gore, where there isn’t any real blood present and the character is still alive after their body has suffered normally lethal damage (ex: beheading, gutting), so it’s not really snuff.

Example images:

Characters who are visibly aroused (erect, wet or achieving orgasm), smiling, blushing or expressing enjoyment even with their organs exposed (disemboweled).

I think we need a specific tag for these?

See:
General tags:
- Masochism -death ~candy_gore ~food_gore
- Masochism -death gore
- Masochism -death snuff
- Masochism -death torture
By type of injury:
- Masochism -death amputation
- Masochism -death breast_mutilation
- Masochism -death broken_bone
- Masochism -death decapitated
- Masochism -death disembowelment
- Masochism -death dissection
- Masochism -death hard_vore
- Masochism -death impaled
All types of injury at once:
- Masochism -death ~amputation ~breast_mutilation ~broken_bone ~decapitated ~disembowelment ~dissection ~hard_vore ~impaled

And this one, which I’m unsure counts with the rest because the character is dead:
- Masochism death
