Nah, I'm just making a joke about how linguistic drift has fucked over kinksters, not at all trying to forgive or excuse fash violence. In fact, that's also another side of the same coin in this problem.
The word sadism originally refers to a specific kink of inflicting pain, humiliation, or embarassment on a willing and enjoying partner, but it has been repurposed as a means to describe violently antisocial behaviour.
This linguistic muddling is deliberate, as it casts people who are into sadomasochism as being cruel and abusive to those around them, while also providing cover to those who fantasize about and perform antisocial acts.
