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.
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.
My burnt memory (and what made me lose interest in all gore type videos) was seeing someone play catch with a dog using a live grenade
I couldn’t even finish the video, I felt sick
Rotten.com days. I don’t know if it was bad to satisfy that curiosity but I got over it pretty quick. And nowadays I can safely avoid any of these crazy videos, knowing I’ve seen it all. I guess that’s why they call it morbid curiosity.
My dad didn’t let me download The Offspring because it would’ve been a bad influence, but I was allowed on the early internet without any supervision.
My mom threw out my brother’s tape of Green Day’s Dookie because Billy Joe said Shit in Basket Case.
We sang green day at fifth grade “graduation”, but they didnt allow us to say “dead skin”. I never would have even noticed the phrase if they didn’t bring attention to it by banning it, but its so fucking silly.
The problem was never the blood, it was the screaming, crying, and visceral gargling
