    I never searched for stuff like this cuz I’m kinda sensitive on this, but I have a friend who would sometimes show me and other friends really disgusting things since we were like 10 years old.

    At that age I was playing Flash games on FRIV, a10.com and my country’s agame.com variant (gioco.it). It was literally all I did online, and all I did on computers.

    How the hell do you manage to find those.

      That is kinda fucked up. Understandable though, peer pressure sure is a bitch sometimes. Making you do things you should have never done, all for the sake of getting that feeling of “fitting in”. Especially when you are not yet mature enough to even realise that what you are doing is bad.

    I did, but I used it to play Webkinz and listen to T.N.T. by AC/DC on early Youtube and I guess I didn’t care to look deeper than that.

    Yeah, that is what parents really should have been worried about rather than violent video games. The first time I saw someone die online was way more traumatizing than watching a videogame character get dismembered.

      Yeah, seen a guy get his brain poked out with an umbrella trough his eyes while he was still alive. Got the image tattooed into my brain. Definitely more traumatizing then any kind of video game including postal.

    Sort of me, except I would immediately leave if I realized it was gore someone was tricking me into. Never liked it then, still don’t.

    I remember when I was a young tween I saw trans porn on a shock-site that my “friend” directed me to. It was apparently supposed to disgust me, but I actually liked it and that is when I started to realize that I am trans, but I repressed it until I was 16 because I lived in a conservative area and all I heard for years was negative stuff and it really did a number on my mental health.

    I did also see other stuff like eel soup (I think that is what it was called) and I looked up a video of someone commiting suicide after my mental health went down the drain. I also saw uncensored decapitation on the front page of reddit a few months back, so far I am glad I haven’t seen stuff like that on lemmy yet.

      Execution was a public spectacle just a few hundred years ago, and gory combat was just a sporting event in Rome… For the last few hundred years humans have seen less gore and dismemberment than at any other time in human history.

    I don’t think it’s that bad really. I feel like I was more traumatized as a kid by having a lot of pets with short natural lifespans, and just generally all the animal death and gore you are naturally exposed to by living in the country. With videos online it’s disturbing, depressing, and forces you to think about human suffering/mortality and the existence of evil people, but it’s ultimately just a video that isn’t connected to your life, that you can turn off, and probably most people learn to avoid pretty quickly.

    Been on the Internet maybe 23 years or so and I’ve seen some wild shit back in the day that didn’t phase me. Got shown some stuff on kaotic recently and it upset me a hell of a lot more than it would have 13 year old me.
