from the Greek for dacry meaning tears

If you can only get off by watching someone cry, you are consumed by Dacryphilia. The implications for violent behavior here are readily apparent.

Now that we have a name for it, i believe that settles the argument.

Dacrythriso for tears harvesting but the philia has a nice perverse ring to it I think.

The Greeks also believed small penile organs were superior to large ones. So yeah.

Lacrypotator for "tear drinker", I believe. My Latin is pretty rusty however.

potatoes are of course Dominixes therefore what you describe is a subclass limited to harvesting or more corrrectly drinking tears of Dominix pilots

Personally i prefer the more positive sounding:

dacryagogic - Stimulating the production of tears.

"philia" implies some sexual aspect.

In retrospect, it's quite a stretch to presume the goings on in this game has any sex involved in it. The connection is just not there.

No, it doesn't.

Yeah and........

This describes 50% of the Eve playerbase. Welcome to Eve. Where the weak are killed and eaten, or in the case you described, molested.

Δακρυφιλία or Dacryphilia is sexual stimulation by humiliation or inducing tears.

The tears of the many, outweigh the tears of the few. Or the one. enterprise-psi©
