I know this is a Controversial question, you don’t need to answer if you don’t want to.
Starting a thread with the equivalent of “You don’t have to share your opinion if it makes you or someone else uncomfortable” is the most controversial thing I’ve seen today at least.

Thank you.
Thank you. Will do.
Joke’s on you. I like to feel like I’m dying all the time.
Damn, that’s one wild ass fetish, mate
A Man being pulled into an industrial lathe. Spaghettification does not require a black hole…
I was there, in the days of rotten.com
Stileproject had its moments too
Oh… This is it. The site I blacked out. Good grief what a horrible place.
As i was young Rotten.com
A kick streamer took a homeless woman out on a date in a restaurant then dine and dashed and left her w the bill… on stream… i seen all typa cartel gore shit in my time, but this is just a different type of evil. Even worse its a recent story too
Reading this just got me down. Why are people like this.
Damn did they get shamed to oblivion at least?
No idea, what’s embarrassing is that it’s basically a tiny echo chamber he only had like a hundred people lives and a good portion of them were like “WWW” and other disgusting shit. Someordinarygamers made a video ab him and tried to hide his username and stuff so he wouldn’t get the ‘cloud’ he was chasing so hard.
I would go to r/eyeblech when it was active. There was some pretty fucked up shit on that sub
Fair warning, I’m not here to judge but take it from someone who spent a lot of time trying to consume the most outrageous internet content to desensitise themselves - it all catches up eventually.
Anyway, this is some of the stuff that comes to mind:
Botfly extractions
Teenage girl suicide (hanging in a tree - too young to die IMO)
Microwaving kittens
Toybox killer transcript and tapes (I don’t like torturing people who don’t deserve it)
People having sex with aborted foetuses
Holy hell. Things went from pretty aweful to horendous. I regret having the abilty to read :-/
I don’t know why the kittens should be the one that hurt me the most to read but well, it did.
Where are these people and how do they get like this? This is ultra fucked up
There was a Mexican cartel video of a guy they had killed and peeled his face off so it was just bare skull.
As the video continues, the guy rolls over and you see his bare eyeballs moving around… Still alive.
That fucked me up pretty bad, then he reaches up to touch his face & they’d cut off his hands…
I’m never going to Mexico.
um just mentioning you say initially killed and then peeled but as you progress it sounds like that is not the case.
That was my thought process as I was watching it. The mutilated “corpse” was a pretty fucked up thing to do, then the reveal that he was alive made it so much worse than it already was.
As somebody who goes to Juarez several times per week and has also traveled extensively throughout Mexico, cartel violence typically does not reach the average tourist, just like how people who go to New York are unlikely to actually see the mob. I have experienced more hassle from police than gangs, and even that is usually a cursory questioning and pocket check for drugs.
15 years ago, there were some cities that were in the middle of organized crime wars, and sometimes things spilled over into public where civilians could get hurt. This created a lot of heat for the cartels, and more recently they have mostly been operating under the radar or in remote neighborhoods again.
The bigger risk than violence is kidnapping, but even that doesn’t tend to get aimed at the tourist population due to the international backlash it would cause.
If you keep your wits about you, travel in Ubers that you order rather than unmarked cabs, and don’t accept drinks from strangers, then Mexico can be a wonderful adventure. The Mexican people have been mostly extremely good to me, and I refuse to cut them off as dangerous just because the news tries to tell me so.
I watched faces of death when I was younger and I saw a hostage situation somewhere in south east Asia. Hostages were getting pulled out of the building on the tail end of the operation.
Mixed in must have a hostile because the security forces shot a guy with shotguns at short range.
It’s like his whole chest and back opened up like a book.
I don’t seek out gore like I used to. No ukraine war footage, no cartel videos. None of that. I know worse is out there just by hearing about it 2nd hand. (Like the infamous funky town video)
There is a lot of horrifying content out there. Videos of people brutally murdering others are probably among the top imo.
Something that I had a hard time physically looking at was I once stumbled across a man who appeared to be having some sort of psychotic episode. He filmed himself trying to pull a microchip out of his eye. He kept picking at it and gouging it with his bare hands. I don’t understand how he was able to do that without screaming in pain. Hope the poor man got better after but who knows what happened.
Edit: And before anyone attempts to ask…no I don’t have a link. LiveLeak was where I had seen a lot of things and it doesn’t exist anymore. I’m sure there are a myriad of other sites out there if you’re morbidly curious. Just don’t go asking me for references. Like others said…for many people it can end up messing them up. Don’t show anything to anyone else. If you are curious and you think you can handle it, then that’s on you. But don’t make anyone else see it even if they say they are ok with it.
I’ll mention 2: Station Nightclub fire footage and a video of pigs being buried alive in response to a disease outbreak.
r/spacedicks
SPEAK UP, F**ET! FADDER CAN’T HEAR YOU!
Spacedicks was a terrible place full of terrible people, but I still feel like something has been lost.
As a young(er), morbidly curious and then still fairly naive dumbass, I went and clicked on some questionable link on a Reddit thread, and was introduced to something known as “Funky Town”.
That shit set me straight pretty well, been avoiding everything even remotely suspiciously feeling it might be or explicitly is gore-related, but the imagery alone still haunts me to this day, not to mention all the other stuff like imagining how any of the people involved must feel, both emotionally and physically.
I debated mentioning this by name for a fair bit, but I think this thread is specifically for this kind of thing, so I’ll leave it. Anyone clicking here is expecting horrifying things, so it won’t catch anyone off guard. But I STRONGLY RECOMMEND NOBODY GOES LOOKING FOR THIS SPECIFIC THING. You will not get it out from behind your eyes. Seriously.
To prevent people from looking it up maybe give a TL;DW?
Cartel torture video
Watching Sadam Hussain getting hung.
Saw it on a computer at school with the whole class
