Apparently I was born before someone tricking me into seeing Tubgirl was supposed to result in a hospital visit. Or Nicole/Ron crime scene photos, with a side dish of Chris Farley's corpse (that we called each other over to look at), required a week's worth of sick days. Yeah, I'm gonna do my best to avoid a "kids these days" old man rant, but this news report did not make them look good here.

You'd think exposure since infancy to the internet would've inured them to shocking images.


Quad9Damage - 2024-01-22

Cribs made of tablets, this generation.

See scrungus' remark below.

Kids know a good stereotype to lean into when it benefits them.


scrungus - 2024-01-22

i dunno, these kids are smart enough to parlay seeing an image they've doubtless seen before into sympathy and attention, sounds like they're ok

Yes, the people who don't enjoy seeing vile porn and gore are the weirdos.


Quad9Damage - 2024-01-22

It's not supposed to send you to the ER, though. You avert your eyes, you click away from it, and you push it out of your head. Or at least that used to be how you dealt with it.

Please join this likeminded activism group for people who have soured on vile porn and gore. Stand with us against the weirdos: https://lemonparty.org/

The part about people going to the hospital may have been an embellishment on the part of the reporter. The interviewee said only that she'd heard of people vomiting & crying, which isn't unreasonable. I've seen big tough men lose it at the sight of an open wound.

It's feasible someone suffering PTSD might have had to go to the hospital after suffering an anxiety attack when they were exposed to triggering images, but that's hardly an indictment of an entire generation.

Images re-triggering traumatic episodes is a real thing that can be harmful to some people. This is known, clinically, as a Generally Oriented Agitated Trauma Syndrome Experience. You can find more about this phenomenon at goatse.cx

ashtar., I copy/pasted those links and I am now foaming at the mouth while screaming "WHY?" and masturbating furiously. Please direct me to a virtual trauma counselor.


Crackersmack - 2024-01-22

it should be considered within the boundaries of professional ethics for nurses and doctors to just straight-up make fun of these people to their faces

"What's the situation?"
"We've got a patient in 14 with a critical shotgun wound to the leg, possible severance of the femoral artery. Another one in 27 with 3rd degree burns all over his body. In 18, two vomiting and shaking in the fetal position after seeing leaked crime scene photographs on the Internet. In 11, a woman with swollen lymph nodes leaking pus and worsening gangrene. In 16..."
"Whoa, whoa, whoa, what was that last one?"
"The patient in Room 11 with possible bubonic plague?"
"No, before that."
"18, having a meltdown over shock images?"
"Code 63."
"What!?"
"I SAID CODE 63! I want everyone on this enacting Protocol 34 STAT! Close the doors! No more patients admitted! Goddammit, I am NOT losing another one today!"

Stile didn't know the damage he was doing when he sold his site.

Trolls click an invite link to a public Discord server.
"Hackers."

So many people have dogshit values and their takes on this are telling.


Quad9Damage - 2024-01-23

Hey now, my values may be dogshit, but at least I'm not eating them like a vomit covered ice cream cone.


Mister Yuck - 2024-01-23

This site is full of dumb old men.


ashtar. - 2024-01-23

We are basically lemonparty at this point.


Quad9Damage - 2024-01-23

We are an old parrot resting on an old man boner at this point.


Crackersmack - 2024-01-23

Lemonparty the old men blowing each other or Lemonparty the racist podcast that is the spiritual succesor to Cumtown


Quad9Damage - 2024-01-23

Yes

Wow, rotten.com. Brings me back! Did you know in 2003's DOOM a demon design was based on a rotten.com image?


Quad9Damage - 2024-01-27

I did not know that. I did hear that the blood in the Brutal Doom mod was made from real gore images, which got the creator a lot of online "flaming."


Jeriko-1 - 2024-01-27

The Mancubus's face design was based on the image from 'Nothing Gets Between Me and my Harley'. Which was rotten.com's 'helmet safety PSA'.
