Line 4:
Tropes about this hedonism can be divided into two categories. First we have ''[[Useful Notes/Ethical Hedonism|Ethical Hedonism]]'', which is about caring about everyone's happiness (including one's own) in a responsible manner. On this good side, we have all reasonable versions of [[Useful Notes/Ethical Hedonism|the philosophy of Ethical Hedonism]]. We also have a general desire for general happiness, based on empathy rather than philosophy.
On the other hand we have non-ethical hedonism, which fails by being too shortsighted, misguided, uncontrolled, egocentric, selfish or similar. On this bad side, we have everything from [[The Hedonist|a juvenile quest for instant gratification]] to [[For the Evulz|the joy of harassing innocent people]]. Here is also room for [[Well
There is also another division, this time in scale. The hedonism can be either on a macro level, affecting everyone or at least a lot of people. Or it can be on a micro level, affecting only Bob and Alice and the people closest to them. On the Micro side, we have people simply living their lives. On the Macro side we have those who try to bring happiness to everyone, or at least a wider circle of people than themselves and their personal circle of friends.

** [[Safe, Sane, and Consensual]]: Do whatever you enjoy, but make sure to do it in such a way that you minimize the risk that someone comes to harm.
** [[Ethical Slut]]: [[Sex Is Good]], but only if you handle it in an ethical way -- without deceit, betrayal, etc.
** [[Good Bad Girl]]: A (gendered) ethical counterpart of [[Sex Is Evil and I Am Horny]].
Line 43:

** [[Totalitarian Utilitarian]]: [[Ethical Hedonism]] gone horribly wrong.
