Damn, I think I'm too jaded by the internet. I've read/seen some horrible shit but it never made me react this way. I just keep scrolling.
I guarantee you you'd feel something like that after reading the title of an article that contain the gruesome description of how a 6 years old child was found after being SA'd by her uncle.
I literally watched a video of a man being beheaded last night. I'm afraid I've been completely desensitized to horror.
I never saw the appeal of such videos. I saw fucked up videos as a teen because my friends would share them and push each other to watch them as some kind of twisted adulthood passage rite ( just dumb kids being dumb ) but nowadays, i can barely watch any gore.
Nonetheless, when people tell me about how desensitized to gore they are i always think they'd be great medical staff on emergency services.
