Bad-Faith Curiosity and Observation
If you ever watch porn with morbid aesthetics, it's not unnatural to ask "What does it pander to?". Even in person, a spectator is not genuinely involved in a situation if their presence is primarily a response to the situation's rarity. That is to say, a spectator is not involved in good faith if they don't care for the people involved in the situation.
Consumption of morbid pornography does not care for the dignity of the people depicted, but rather celebrates the opportunity to access the imagery. The moment of experience becomes fetishized. Observation is good natured when stake is taken in the fates of the people depicted, even if that means severing the engagement. Observation that preys on people with unusual morphology is fetishizing.
