Discussion Why do u watch gore

[ThatStateOfMind]

I typically don't. Morbid curiosity has sometimes gotten the better of me. Other times, I've perused the site looking at suicide methods and their respective outcomes as a measure of how much/little discomfort it would cause me in my final moments.

I don't in the recent year or so, but in the past I did, mainly out of curiosity, but also to get a better idea of the aftermath of death, even though I likely won't be around to experience the aftermath if I'm successful (at CTB'ing).

I used to watch but it became too boring, I watch some street fights occasionally because I still find them entertaining, I thought that watching gore would make you more cold blooded and stress resistant but actually not, at first you find it stimulating but eventually get bored like with any type of content on internet. Also you gonna be put on fbi watch list for doing this probably. I don't regret watching but I regret discussing it with other edgy personas. Maybe I should treat it more neutral, it is just basic reality, people or animals die in gruesome ways every day.

Used to watch it because it was the one of the only things i could get invested in without getting distracted 28136493638 times. Got bored of it eventually.

There are probably sick fucks out there jerking off to dying people on that site. Some sort of fetish.

I clicked on a link for a girl dying with SN because that's how my partner died just to imagine how she died. It was kind of sad ngl. I shouldn't subject myself to that but I felt like I'd be such a terrible person if I couldn't even accept my own partner's death--how she died.

I couldn't come to her funeral at the time.

I don't usually want to see gore but if I have too, I force myself not to flinch because as you said, it's supposed to be a grounding experience.

When I started having these ideas, I'd ask myself: "Am I glorifying death or do I already know what death entails and I'm ready for it?"

Seeing people die in many ways ground me. It makes me realize that, no, I do not glorify death or even romanticize it. I want to die because there have been so many wrong things in life that I cannot fix.

It's been a long time since I watched gore, but when I did, it was to reinforce my nihilism and get used to death.

 

[wine is fine but]

depends what you mean by gore
as in, on watch people die, they have 4 categories: death, gore, active conflicts and community
to that extent, i do not watch gore, but do watch the death section

i am happy to watch people die, providing it is quick and they do not go through too much pain. i do not want to see gore where someone is horrifically injured and are no doubt feeling pain with many months or years of pain and recovery to go

part of my fascination with watching deaths is because i can be very jealous of some of them. i would like to think, that i not want anything for someone else, that i would not want for myself. either way, with many of the videos i think how lucky they are, while still realising that in the same situation, i would probably be crapping myself uncontrollably

another part of watching it is - and the best way i could probably describe it is from when i was a huge motor racing fan - i would say with complete honesty "i do not want there to be any accidents at all, but if there is one - i want to see it " which carries over into death videos and even real life events such as car accidents and the like too; call it morbid curiosity or something else entirely, but we as humans tend to be drawn to tragedy, sad events and the underdog - it is just how we are
