No.

Remember Faces Of Death from like 25 years ago?
My friends kept rewinding the part where that dumb ass lady crossing the tracks was obliterated into a million bits until I uncovered my face to watch.

I was pissed.

Definitely would not be one of those to be in the town square watching an execution. I must be squeamish?

Enjoy 😬

I love that kinda stuff. Wpd is my favorite site to visit along with other shock sites 😁 my favorite videos to watch are the cartel gun fights one, it's crazy to see how a group of people match if not go beyond the strength of the military

Nope not in real life.

Fictious characters like. Joffrey being killed off in Game of thrones. I think many felt satisfied & relieved when that happened, but I think real life, & people are are more complex then tv characters, there's to many variables.

I can watch people being operated on, & not squirm with blood & all. Taking someone's life & existence away is different, for me.

I remember watching an American show on TV when I was early twenties, a real life high speed police chase, someone's vehicle was bumped, & the female passenger died instantly. I remember crying & thinking how fragile life cane be, & how people ls whole life can be taken in an instant.

I also always wonder why people are so quick to think they have the right to be judge, jury & excutioner. Or dictate what's right, wrong etc, especially punishable by death. You better be bloody perfect & never done anything wrong yourself.

I prefer a good redemption story, then revenge, judgement & hate.

I know this might sound niave. I'm aware the world isn't black & white.

But no I can't celebrate murder, even if people think it's some kind of justice. I dont find it anything to celebrate. I'm more likely to look at where humanity went wrong.

no I don't like watching that stuff. it makes me feel sick

KillingNarcs

Nov 10, 2024 15:20

Yeah, I'm into that stuff.

Not in a sick way, such as to glorify death
or to laugh and mock the deceased. (I don't
see the humor in it, frankly.) I am just merely
fascinated by the fact that we can have the
gift of life taken from us whenever, and
wherever.

It falls in line with how selective I am with my
Horror films. If the deaths/gore are life-like/
believable then it automatically goes onto
my list of favorites if it has at least decent
writing & character-decision-making.

That being said, I do not enjoy the paranormal
& *most* supernatural themes in Horror. Those
things are not compelling to me.

There is a site, where I typically go
to consume the type of content
mentioned in your post, Gru.

It functions like YouTube shorts
& TikTok. However, it has categories.
I mostly find myself looking at work-related
accidents & traffic-related deaths.

For those curious, the site is called:

Interesting differences in responses so far. I think for me it’s bound up tightly with my sense of justice. Obviously everyone is a human being with a complicated life history, but some actions are atrocious enough to warrant death, in my opinion. I would be surprised if the answers to this question weren’t directly linked to whether a person supports capital punishment or not. I personally do.

Daddy Gru

Nov 10, 2024 17:00

And yeah Narcs, I think it’s also fascinating in the same way. Life is there one moment and gone very quickly the next. Sometimes the process of dying is instantaneous and sometimes drawn out. The times when it’s drawn out tend to elicit the most sympathy from me even if I believe the person is truly getting their just desserts because as they’re dying they often show signs of remorse or regret brought on by the panic that their life is ending. Sometimes I’m like, wow that sucks, and other times I’m like, well, should’ve thought of that beforehand, fückface.

Maybe I’m just a cold hearted bastard.

The older I get the more I see the value of life, and I think a lot of people have become disconnected from it. On one hand I can understand that if someone throws away the life of another, so to do they potentially throw away their own value. But I also find it sad that someone has fell upon such a path that their demise would lead to joy for another. It just makes me want to stare off into space and wonder further on what is it all for? I am certainly not interested in grim things, they are corrupting to the mind.

I don't feel comfortable watching people die, don't care who it is or whether they were good or bad. I get no enjoyment out of watching such things and avoid them at all costs.

When it's incidences of justice, I dig 'em sometimes. I have who, without request, sends them to me. But he'll send it all, all kinds of shiz, accidental death shiz, sexual deviance Oops probably gonna die shiz, justice death shiz, very fringe s*x in general shiz. The ones that get to me are some of the workplace accident ones. There's a few that are heartwrenching. I eventually told him to stop because I wasn't gonna watch anymore.

The one you might enjoy Gru is the NY snowshovelling one, I firmly believe sometimes a mutha f**ka has to get ruthless to remind people, "f**k around and find out." It keeps some people in line.

Gru have you seen the funky town fillets? Lmao great vid on wpd

Daddy Gru

Nov 10, 2024 20:25

I have not seen that. And don’t get me wrong, I don’t enjoy gore or morbid things for their own sake, it’s very context specific. Like I’ve seen a few that were workplace or accident related and they scare the shït out of me, especially since I work in an industrial setting. My brother queued on up on his phone one time and sort of just stuck it in my face at work and all the sudden I’m watching some poor guy get pulled into a running lathe and literally torn to pieces. We have good sized lathes just like that in our shop and now I look at them more as death traps than anything else. I think to enjoy it in the schadenfreude sense that I do, I have to not be able to relate to it and/or have the distinct sense that the person deserved it. And yeah, if you were responsible for tens of thousands of deaths during the Holocaust, I’m going to enjoy watching you strangle to death on the gallows or die under a hail of bullets.

I see gore everyday for my job, and while I am desensitized and relatively ambivalent to what I see, I still feel absolutely pained with the idea of the patients whose bodies are being ravaged by cancer and disease. Some may be s**t heals, but I still feel pain for them.

DÜmR

Nov 10, 2024 20:38

I know the lathe one, that's one of the videos that I specifically had in mind that I don't care for. I think the snowshoveling NY one would be one expect you'd enjoy. I read a story about the incident, and sometimes our imperfect system doesn't have a way to take care of such things.

Although, I think there's a workplace video where the guy didn't get seriously injured but it's just funny because a forklift tips over, hooks onto a guys uniform and then launches him like a catapult 30 feet. Can you imagine, one second you're trying to fix something, the next, "Why am I soaring through the air?"

I was going to comment that it's probably the justice part that you enjoy. A lot of people are similar in that way. I wonder if it is more common in men? 🤔

KillingNarcs

Nov 10, 2024 22:09

@Mercurious It is happening to me, too.
The older I get, the more I see the gift
that life truly is.

I've certainly had my fair share of days where
I'd rather step away from existence, due to the
struggle(s) of getting anywhere, financially
& getting my own place. (It's not that I can't,
but my situation is a little fücked right now.)

Everything's just hard, so I often say fück it.
But suicide is such a fücking bullshït way to die.
In a way, watching gore content (Especially suicides) makes me appreciate my life a lot and I pick myself up again.

There are a handful of people in
my life that I literally have to live for.

I'm not a fan of slapstick gore when its #sfx in movies.. vom!

I have come across rl gore stuff inadvertently on filter free web searches over the years and been grossed out, I would not go looking for it frankly..

I can handle gore in real life doing first aid and stuff but if I am not directly involved I feel squeamish to look at it..

Gotta say though there is a f*ckton of very graphic detailed Ukraine war footage over on twitterx taken with hd cams on drones mostly. Its pretty awful but compelling viewing if you have been .mil and especially SAM AD like I was.

There is a big counter drone and UAV discussion in open and closed groups on Linkedin I have contributed to..

War over there in Ukraine has gone very syfy and battlefield hd coverage is all over it..

I feel sorry for a lot the combatants I have seen get wasted, though the gloves are really off due to the .ru being the aggressor, their idea of war is level everything flat and move in on it..

What I have seen on twitterx on #gaza is even worst because both sides have lost their humanity and one side (guess which) is leading on the ratio of women and children slaughtered big time..

I don't watch this stuff for entertainment, one is technical interest the second is to bear witness and also see primary source news on the phone cams everyone has now..

Oh I use to be big into justice, but never capital punishment.

I think as I'm getting older I'm seeing the dangers of bias, black & white thinking, putting people in categories etc, especially watching people on the internet, feeding into media & echo chambers. People hanging in the same circles in real life with the same perspective, instead of mingling with others who may disagree, people are less open to just listening & learning from others.

Some people lose the ability to see other people position or perspectives

I also feel im seeing more & more, that two truth's can exist at once. Nothing is ever black & white, as I've mentioned. Things can be more complex. The deeper you dive.

DÜmR

Nov 11, 2024 01:41

That's an interesting proposal Glitter. If I had to bet, I'd say it is more common in men, and it's going to take more than a hundred years (our recent past) to undo that biological train of thought.


And everything Peripatetic said, meaning, I second that, or "Preach!"

It’s pretty black and white when it comes to Nazis. I’m sorry but I don’t go in for much moral relativism these days. There are lines. Most cultures get what those lines are and crossing them disqualifies one from being allowed to live in civilization. Furthermore, I don’t buy this “who are we to judge” stuff either. Who are we? We’re human beings who need to have a framework of laws in order to have a functioning society. If we’re not doing the judging, who is, god? I’m not talking about a kid in the third world who steals a loaf of bread because he’s starving getting his hand cut off, that is barbaric. I’m talking about some truly heinous person who has either deliberately hurt others or is imminently about to. Forget about justice, pragmatism alone dictates those people must be eliminated to keep the rest of the community safe. I don’t know of any worthy ethical standard that says society needs to put the life of one above the lives of many simply because life is allegedly precious.

Nightnews, as far as war stuff goes, I used to watch a lot of the videos coming out of the Syrian civil war and found it to be incredibly depressing after a while because I had no idea who was in the right in that conflict. Now that WAS a gray area I’m willing to agree on, because both sides were guilty of unbelievable atrocities. I felt that, especially in the case of most of the FSA guys, despite being nominally aligned with ISIS or Al Qaeda or whoever else, many if not most were just regular civilians compelled by force to fight for one of the many factions. And then they get killed all for what? There didn’t seem to be any justice in that conflict. I see the Russian soldiers in the same light, they’re being sent to the slaughter by a capricious sociopathic dictator. When I watch the footage of them getting droned to death or overrun by assaults in those miserable trenches I can’t help but feel sorry for them despite wanting their cause to fail.

Okay, sounds good.

So yeah, forgot how flawed this movie Falling Down is. Weird script, goofy-ass dialogue, badly drawn caricatures. There’s probably been some kind of very interesting philosophical dissection of this film written for someone’s master of fine arts thesis, but it’s just a super awkward watch. I think the better version of this Michael Douglas “I snapped and now fück everyone” character is Lester Burnham, Kevin Spacey’s character from American Beauty.

@Gru Let me read your last entry Gru & contemplate how to respond, so maybe you can understand where im coming from, or what angle I'm approaching this from. I might ask you some questions if that's okay? Obviously you don't have to answer them, if you think they're too invasive, otherwise just tell me to step off. Lol

OK I've decided. I'm going to leave it at this. I could explain, but I can't be bothered right now. Honestly I find having people understand my point of view on the internet, these days exhausting. I prefer having conversations in person with people, after they've bothered to get to know me, & vice versa. No offence to anyone here.

I think im going to stick with the more light hearted subjects on here.

Politics, war, etc especially online, leave me exhausted these days.

I was basically trying to come from a philosophical & psychological angle, but like I mentioned I can't be bothered explaining.

I suppose I should be clear about my response to Peripatetic. I was applying what she said, not so much abiut this subject, but to life as a whole. I've already states where I stand on death videos, or f**ked up s**t. Justice, I can do, but I have not, nor will not ever watch a beheading video of an innocent civilian, or anyone really. Yo those reading this, take her words to heart, apply them to a lot of situations, there's some knowledge in them words.

I do find f**ked up s*x videos fascinating, as I watch them from more of an anthropological stand point. People are into some interesting stuff, and sometimes it goes very poorly for them 🤣.

For the record, I've only come across a couple videos that were so crystal clear you could really make out what is happening. One of them was so f**king cartoony it made it easier to digest, however, when I sit and think about what reallllllly happened in the video, it makes me cringe, that was the last accidental death video I'll watch.

I have watched a couple beheading videos and they are the most disturbing things I’ve watched. I know there are a lot of cartel killing videos out there and I refuse to watch those, but if there were videos of cartel members being executed by either legal authorities or a band of civilian vigilantes, I would watch with pleasure.

There was a bodycam video recently of a sting operation where this old pedo went to a hotel room to meet up with a fictional underage person and when the cops open the door, he goes to pull out a gun and just gets absolutely blasted by several officers. The only thing that sucked is that his suffering wasn’t protracted.

Oh, and a lot of agencies blur out the footage lately. I have no idea who they think they’re protecting with such a futile gesture but it’s annoying.

Wolfboy20

Nov 13, 2024 19:11

The ped hunter vids on wpd don't get cops involved is my favorite part they just slaughter them.. and the person doesn't immediately die when shot even to the head, they suffer even if they don't appear to be alive as scary as that is
