    The complete and utter media black out on a genocide. I got banned from facebook 2 years ago for saying a war with a 1-to-50 casualty rate imbalance was more akin to massacre than a war.

    That I remember seeing, Encyclopedia Dramatica. That shit made sure to document every disgusting shit that has ever “graced” the collective mind of the internet, like 2 girls 1 cup, zippo cat, 1 guy 1 jar and other shit. Me and my stupid morbid curiosity in reading it at least got me smart enough to avoid actually watching any of those videos.

    They also had a shock page with extreme scat, goatse, prolapse and whatever else you can imagine that could shock people.

        No idea, what’s embarrassing is that it’s basically a tiny echo chamber he only had like a hundred people lives and a good portion of them were like “WWW” and other disgusting shit. Someordinarygamers made a video ab him and tried to hide his username and stuff so he wouldn’t get the ‘cloud’ he was chasing so hard.

    Back when the styles project was a site and rotten.com posted real police photos. I was very young and into horror movies but that was over the edge.

    Starting a thread with the equivalent of “You don’t have to share your opinion if it makes you or someone else uncomfortable” is the most controversial thing I’ve seen today at least.

    Fair warning, I’m not here to judge but take it from someone who spent a lot of time trying to consume the most outrageous internet content to desensitise themselves - it all catches up eventually.

    Anyway, this is some of the stuff that comes to mind:

    Botfly extractions

    Teenage girl suicide (hanging in a tree - too young to die IMO)

    Microwaving kittens

    Toybox killer transcript and tapes (I don’t like torturing people who don’t deserve it)

    People having sex with aborted foetuses

    I watched faces of death when I was younger and I saw a hostage situation somewhere in south east Asia. Hostages were getting pulled out of the building on the tail end of the operation.

    Mixed in must have a hostile because the security forces shot a guy with shotguns at short range.

    It’s like his whole chest and back opened up like a book.

    I don’t seek out gore like I used to. No ukraine war footage, no cartel videos. None of that. I know worse is out there just by hearing about it 2nd hand. (Like the infamous funky town video)

    There was a Mexican cartel video of a guy they had killed and peeled his face off so it was just bare skull.

    As the video continues, the guy rolls over and you see his bare eyeballs moving around… Still alive.

    That fucked me up pretty bad, then he reaches up to touch his face & they’d cut off his hands…

    I’m never going to Mexico.

      As somebody who goes to Juarez several times per week and has also traveled extensively throughout Mexico, cartel violence typically does not reach the average tourist, just like how people who go to New York are unlikely to actually see the mob. I have experienced more hassle from police than gangs, and even that is usually a cursory questioning and pocket check for drugs.

      15 years ago, there were some cities that were in the middle of organized crime wars, and sometimes things spilled over into public where civilians could get hurt. This created a lot of heat for the cartels, and more recently they have mostly been operating under the radar or in remote neighborhoods again.

      The bigger risk than violence is kidnapping, but even that doesn’t tend to get aimed at the tourist population due to the international backlash it would cause.

      If you keep your wits about you, travel in Ubers that you order rather than unmarked cabs, and don’t except drinks from strangers, then Mexico can be a wonderful adventure. The Mexican people have been mostly extremely good to me, and I refuse to cut them off as dangerous just because the news tries to tell me so.

        That was my thought process as I was watching it. The mutilated “corpse” was a pretty fucked up thing to do, then the reveal that he was alive made it so much worse than it already was.
