i guess you mean a fancy way to say fetish for sociopaths?
Sure.
To be honest you're probably just a sadist, then you managed to entangle psychopathy to what turns you on. If you're fine with your partner turning on you in ways that leave you in emotional and financially distressed, only then will you be a certified psychophilliac.
I don't think she's expressed an interest in inflicting harm onto others herself, rather, she is inspired when seeing another do it for her.
If what's typed out currently is accurate, it sounds like Sadism-by-Proxy at best. As a side note, she does seem to take pride in not being the victim of the relationship (yet at least), but that seems to be more of a perk than anything.
I'm curious how her former relationships ended now.

Given the fact that you've provided so many important information on your mental state and your sexual selection preferences, I think I can give a pretty accurate explanation - what is missing from the "equation" is you didn't state your biological gender (and a few other variables, by I can ignore them for the time being) - so I'll assume you are a female, probably in your 20's.
Your instinctual desire to mate with males who are perceived by others (and you, indirectly) as "psychopaths" has NOTHING to do with them actually being psychopaths (so no, it's not a psychopath fetish), and everything to do with how your instinct interprets masculinity. For the female in you, the most important biological imperative is to mate with a high-status male (aka "an Alpha") and "she" interprets status and power physically, achieved through brute force. You are, to a large degree, similar to those women who deliberately stay with their abusive boyfriends/husbands - the only difference is that the "abuse" is not directed at you, but outwards, toward those not included in your little pack of two. You perceive your "psychopath" male as the alpha-dog, and yourself as his second-in-command - which is a pretty high status - and yes, it is an ego thing. It always is, and everything is.
By no means should you associate your mental state and sexual preference with some kind of pathology - you are more sane then those other women whose mates abuse them. You are siding with destruction, they are siding with self-destruction. And self-destructive beings tend not to live long and/or prosper.
This guy makes some good points. What the so called "psychopath fans" have in common is that they consider themselves special enough to be "different" from the other "victims". I have commented on this in the past many times. A lot of females think they are special snowflakes that can turn the big dangerous beast into prince charming, that they are somehow above the rest by being someone "special" to the psychopath. Smth like a Messiah complex, with them being able to affect and make a change where others fail.
It really is an ego thing. I think what you said in the sexual fantasy thread is very telling:
by KiloSquarea sadist raping a girl with a spikey condom-like device wrapped around his dick, then taking it off and fucking me more gently, using her blood as lube.
See? You're not like the average victim of this sadistic alpha man, you're someone that he treats differently. Special snowflake syndrome.
It sounds more like a fetish for safety to me, oddly enough. It's never just about witnessing someone else in pain. The defining feature seems to be the fact that she's not the victim. Like TC said, she obviously takes pride in that. My best guess is that she feels weak, so she clings to those she views as strong and when they treat her with more care than they do other people, it gives her a sense of security that she never has on her own. It makes her feel powerful via proxy. Or perhaps just special.
