I always wanted to know everybody’s opinion about watching Gore vids and Pictures, “am talking about the real Shit not the flicks you see in movies” and it’s effects on you. see at first I kinda freaked out, but then I realized that the more I watch these things the more I don’t get any “tiny” feeling of disturbance! I realized this when I saw a badly mutilated body from a car accident while I was in the hospital, when I saw it I didn’t even feel a thing or disturbed at all!! is this wrong you guys ?
As long as you can still feel empathy towards people in that state, it’s really not a problem to not feel disturbed or grossed out, unless you actually start liking it.
it’s not that I don’t feel empathy or even liking this stuff!, it’s like there’s no “feeling at all” while I see this stuff as if I am watching something completely normal =/
That’s the first step towards your successful surgeon career.
I’m completely gutted by violence and gore when it affects innocent beings that didn’t have it coming, couldn’t see it coming and/or don’t deserve it at all.
For example:
-
When I see footage of a bunch of 20 year olds getting beat up by cops on some Occupy-march: who the fuck cares, they knew it was coming and stuck around anyway.
-
When I see footage of some kid acting out a Jackass scene and breaks a leg with the bone poking out of the flesh/skin: who the fuck cares, the retarded shit deserved it.
-
When I see a bunch of twats beating up a sleeping bum, lighting him on fire, stealing his few possessions or whatever criminal acts they can think of at the time: those disgusting pieces of failed abortion should be hung from the highest possible tree.
-
When I see any form of animal abuse (or someone causing animals unnecessary pain), I rage.
As far as real life goes, I can’t say I’ve seen a lot of things, apart from someone breaking a leg at school because he wanted to act cool by hanging upside down from a goalpost (the football/soccer kind, not the rugby/football kind (confused yet?)): aka, he deserved the pain and bone sticking through his skin.
when I wrote this thread I just watched two innocent civilians getting their Head decapitated REAL slowly in Iraq, you know…“the act of decapitation” is the ONLY gory stuff that I can’t stand and I get disturbed by it a lot
speaking of animals, did ya watch a video that shows Chinese folk torturing and skinning “alive” raccoon-like animals ?
hmmm you know how the internet works, you watch a video and then it slowly directs you into something that is completely unrelated to what you were watching x_x
-snip- Maybe later.
this is a clip from a documentary i came across. Probably one of the best I’ve seen on the subject of long/short term effects of desensitization
The people in that documentary are probably right for a part, but I doubt that’s the only reason.
To a certain extent I’m a selfish cunt and I fully realize this. As such, I will most likely act in my own interest whenever I see a fight break out. It has nothing to do with me being used to seeing violence, it has everything to do with self preservation and acting according to my own interests. I will move heaven and hell to make sure that my friends and family are okay, but anyone outside of that circle will not receive my care nor my attention.
Modern day society is simply getting extremely egocentric. “The only person that matters is me and the people close to my heart”. Everybody has their own lives to live and don’t want to free time to make sure that some random stranger is okay after being hit by a car.
I used to see a video of a man bitten by a crocodile at his arm, rotating about two cycles, the man’s arm was about to be in pieces.
ya, don’t get me wrong. Just wanna share my experience relating to the topic.
I work on a military base atm, and i have to say it seems pop culture, at least in that particular arena, is assembling entirely into this weird hyper-testosterone-rambo-death-cult dimension, with UFC, MW3, Monster energy drinks, and self-congratulating “warrior/patriot” stickers all inhaled in the same breath. Everyone seems to have their awareness attuned to the same frequency, thinking thoughts that someone else put in their heads. There’s plenty of intelligent people i meet, but it seems exclusively to be a very mechanized sort of intellect, tethered to a sort of blankness.
I dunno. it’s just surreal, seeing people play drones killing people and blowing shit up to secure resources in a game, then they go overseas to kill people and blow shit up to secure resources, then they come back and kill in games, go back overseas do it again, rinse repeat, etc
Their senses are totally saturated in this increasingly inhuman mental environment.
And then i see these banners everywhere “GOT NIGHTMARES? SUICIDAL? Come to our ptsd nightmare prevention group” and it’s like a bad joke come to life
Gore is something I can’t say I’ve had much experience with. When I do, so long as my headspace stays within the realms of simple blood and meat, I’m not bothered. The weird thing is, as soon as you start identifying veins, arteries, stuff like that? Bam, I’m useless. weak, sick, gone. Organs don’t bother me, seeing blood doesn’t bother me as long as I don’t ever make the connection to broken veins. It’s been like this forever, although I’m getting better. In science class I used to litterally go paralyzed in my arms sometimes. My muscles would just stop working and I would have to concentrate hard on everything but the lesson in order to get my system back to functioning so that I didn’t look like a complete fool.
Oddly enough though, I wouldn’t have any problem keying someone through the throat who was causing enough trouble to deserve it, and in our martial arts club I would always automatically revert to neck strikes if I forgot something and had to improvise. It was just so much easier, and my mind always had that area targeted, it wasn’t a concious decision.
nah, don’t take it serious. I will srry now if it’s offending you.
On topic, my sensible feeling about the gore video still not being wiped away even though I’ve watched many of them. One guy one cup and Two guys one hammer still make me cry.
I’ve always had a pull towards gore and violence. I browsed sites like Ogrish when I was as young as 14. I soon became desensitized, and became interested in gore, violence, and death.
As I watched video after video, picture after picture, I found that I sort of…enjoyed it all. And it may sound sick, but I soon relished in the reactions of those in great pain, including those slow decapitations described earlier in the thread.
It’s fucked up, I know, but that’s how that turned out. Watching all of that turned me into somewhat of a passive sadist. And though I haven’t actively browsed for snuff pics and films in years, I still find a strong interest in it all.
I find gore morbidly fascinating, but certainly not pleasant. Whenever a gore thread goes up on 4chan, I find myself browsing it without really being sure why. I’m desensitized to the gore, but hyper-violence usually still gets to me, especially if it’s against animals; it’s so much easier to feel bad for the animal because it’s so innocent. In that case, though, it’s the cruelty that’s disturbing me, not the gore.
I’ve seen a neo-nazi decapitation video (with a hunting knife), and also a video of two men killing somebody in an eastern European forest. His face was literally swollen to the point that, I don’t even know how to describe it… They were stabbing into him with a screwdriver and hitting him on the head with a hammer, they finished him with a sledgehammer.
I watched the videos on an impulse, and I felt terrible and just…wrong for the entire next day.
I can’t stand gore/excessive violence at all. Even when I get a more serious wound myself, I tend to avoid looking at it as much as I can. I’d probably be the worlds worst surgeon ever.
Naturally, I avoid gore on the internet like the plague.
