Den Mørke Natt
You have to have some human feelings in you, some compassion and empathy.
For example about 3300 people get squashed and torn to shreds every day in car accidents all over the world.
Many sensitive people can't "ignore" this fact and think too much about it, this drives them insane and they end up in some room with pillows on walls, or they swallow some pills to kill themselves.
We "normal" people can push this knowledge to some deep parts of our minds, it's not because we don't care or are insensitive, we just can control our thoughts good enough.
Viewing real gore clips gives you a hard to forget image that is much harder to push to these deep parts of your mind, so that image will come back to haunt you from time to time for many years.
is it really that hard for most people to get disturbing images out of their head? honestly we all go through seeing some shit in out lives, most of us will be there to whiteness fatal car accidents, the sick and dying, even the occasional real shock video, but when it comes down to it we all know the world is a messed up place, and unless you have ADD or OCD to where you can't get an idea out of your head I don't see why shrugging it of and doing someone thing else to get your mind off of it such a hard thing to do.
You said it would drive sensitive people to the edge but from the reactions of the shock videos that are around the net...EVERYONE is sensitive. For the normal person it should be, "oh wow that was fucked up, won't get that out of my head for awhile"..next day, totally forgotten.
After seeing real gore, and having a couple of hospitalizing injuries that have caused people to be sick, seen fatal car crashes all within my childhood, for me the fake gore is just as stomach turning as the real stuff (not that much stomach turning, if any), maybe its because I look at all the things wrong with the world almost all the time, so I am never surprised, but I highly doubt it
Whatever. I am not going to change my opinion about this.
How about watching kids getting raped and murdered just out of curiosity then (even tho it might be fake if that makes you feel better about it)?
Anyway I am not going to discuss this any longer. Call me baby or pussy if you will.
watching a kid be raped and murdered weather it was real or fake (or based on a true story) should be just as stomach turning as witnessing it, of course it will be something that will stick in the back of your head every now and then, but honestly if any type of horrible things in the world completely effects the way you live for days on end, thats called a nervous breakdown, and is usually a sign of mental/emotional issues. What I am trying to say is that of course seeing the videos I have, and even the real things in person take me back a little bit, but its more of a "yea that stuff happens, the world is a messed up place, and I couldn't control what happened I have bigger things to worry about that I can control..*next subject*". Of course your going to have flashbacks, but or me they have never been haunting.
Some things will bother you more, but in all honesty 2G1C and BME is pretty mellow to what really goes on out there, but most people act like they aren't aware that some people get off on eating shit, get off on the pain of jamming shit up their dicks, or get off on having their assholes ripped apart by shattered glass, but the reality is that shit like that does happen, and the sooner you become aware of it, the sooner it won't be so bothering to see.
On a side note I am bothered by any form of animal abuse, child abuse and witnessing either a fatal accident or the aftermath, however my reaction is anger that people would be so careless and that they won't be served justice for what the have done, this includes politics especially in other countries that torture and leave their people in poverty, it just pisses me of because of the fact that there isn't much I can do about it, but as soon as I remember that, I forget about it.
Though I one up you guys on the vids, one of the few that have come to bother me some, check out Thomas Edison's Electrocuting an Elephant, other than the fact that the man deserves absolutely no recognition for any of his inventions (as most of them were stolen) he murdered animals for the purpose of bashing a fellow ex-employee. Now thats shit to get worked up about.
