Vaguely talking about unsanitary topics
Not even just for the obvious gorey stuff. Saw a video going over a case where someone’s entire gut stopped working, and one of the options presented was surgically removing the blockage. Made me realize it’s not just the obvious gross stuff that comes up.
That is what medicine is all about. It is all about shit piss and oozes…
Who remembers that story with the surgeon who ended up working with just the one nurse because everyone else had run away?
The puss one where it kept pouring out on the floor and their shoes.
When they were all done the doctor commented “that was a bad one”
The one I’m thinking of is in this Reddit thread. I can’t share only one comment so you’ll have to go down a bit. 3rd or so. Big post.

That was one of the best I’ve ever read, made me laugh out loud ‘swamps of dagobah’ bahahaha.
That’s the one!
“where’s the video” - r/popping
The post was called The Swamps of Dagobah.
Idk what happened to me, I used to find Mr. Hands and 2G1C hilarious, something you could watch while having lunch, I used to be a /b/tard in my teenage years ffs… and now any gore just shocks and disgusts me, and I have to close the page and watch something else as a mental palate cleanser. Is this some frontal lobe related thing? I almost ignore Gaza posts because of this, I have to force myself to watch them…
On the other hand, pimple popping and earwax removal? That’s my shit. 🤣
Same. I’m guessing such shock and gore videos have become too relatable along with a healthy increase of empathy. (edit: is that just frontal lobe development?) Plus, both of those were about sex acts, so if you were 15-25, horny brain dumb, horny brain no think deep, hormones raging.
2G1C, c2010: haha poop, ewww (edit: fixed the line break and all the “we’re” mistakes
2G1C, c2020: poop. Ew. Why are they doing this? Were they paid enough? Were they too desperate? Were they forced? Can you imagine the smell? Did they get sick? Severely ill?I forget if Hands was the jar or the horse, but living in the /b/ world, I’m sure part of the punchline and disassociation was that it’s gay. At the time, I was one of those “I don’t hate gay people, but don’t let me see it”. Now I see how ridiculous that is, to demand the world conform to my viewing pleasure preferences (oooobbbviously, hot lesbians would be hot and NOT gay). Now I realize how only recently, LGBT+ have gotten rights, how they recently weren’t even legally allowed to be public, how other parts of the world consider it a death sentence. Now I know everyone has their kinks and that safe sex knowledge and safe toy access should be human rights. So maybe, just maybe, it was a deeply misfortunate series of events that led him to injury/death, chasing something he couldn’t discuss with knowledgeable people openly (either never inset hollow glass or no, you cannot handle the force of a horse). I’m not saying bestiality is fine, but there’s clearly no shortage of horse cock dildos or other animals.
The one that I think started to change me was the hammer murder, pounding the guy’s face in. I can still hear his dying breaths. There was no joke there, no humor, no real identifiable dissociative marks except the language. Just a murder on video, circulated all the same as 2G1C or Mr. Hands or… 1 Guy 1 Jar? Or waifu hentai , or heartfelt discussions on anime, or rape, or actual torture porn, or laughing at death videos from China/India. I have way too many empathetic considerations now for people to ignore all of that just because I liked the short format porn.
And then I think about the posters, too. I assume they’re evil, but I of course know no one is born evil. What went wrong? Society, government, school, work, social media, manosphere influencers?
From personal experience knowing someone who posted that stuff just to get a reaction out of people: he was beat by his dad (who then divorced his mom because she produced “that”) and was severely bullied in high school. It’s not an excuse, he just desperately wanted the world to feel as miserable as he did.
He showed me a video of someone being shot in the head once. Mind you, I’m the kind of person that breaks down when I accidentally run over an animal or hear a bird splat on a high-rise window. He thought it was okay to show me without my consent because the guy lived, but didn’t understand that violence, pain, and disfigurement are just as traumatizing as death.
He diagnosed himself with Anti-social PD while taking a psychology class, take that however you wish
The one who sent me the hammer murder was normal. I don’t know how he came across it, but I think he was in shock and pain and didn’t know how else to process the emotions. I don’t remember him being amused or excited, just kind of upset. I fully believe he was a good person then and believe he’s still good, so of course I feel bad for him. I never sent it around, and I’ve never mentioned how it has stuck with me. But it makes me wonder about how such videos propogate across social media like that, going between healthy people, occasionally landing on someone who needs help, not a gateway to discovering the genre.
Humans are complex.
2G1C, c2010: haha poop, ewww 2G1C, c2020: poop. Ew. Why are they doing this?
For me it was “I get that this is a sex thing, but I don’t get how anyone could get off to this. I also don’t see why people are getting so grossed out by it, though”
Now it’s more “Ehh, not enough plot for me to care.” At least from a media side. From thinking of the workers, I doubt they were paid enough, but also there was an interview with the producer who did say that it was both a trailer for a larger film, and not actually real. Certainly convincing! But not actually real.
I forget if Hands was the jar or the horse
Hands is the horse, 1 guy 1 jar was the jar.
it was a deeply misfortunate series of events that led him to injury/death
Another interview: He’s alive (as of 2013, anyway, but he’s from Ukraine), and he did it just because he wanted to be able to fist himself. Granted, the interview was just posted on a forum, so take it with a grain of salt. Even if it wasn’t it’s not like his face was in the video, and we’d be able to verify it.
The one that I think started to change me
Yeah I never finished those. By that point I’d spent enough time on LiveLeak to know what was coming, and knew I’d hate it. Extreme fear of death related to OCD, and even knowing it was coming was enough to throw me off for the rest of the day.
And then I think about the posters, too. I assume they’re evil, but I of course know no one is born evil. What went wrong?
Loooootta things can. I never posted them, but I know people who did. There’s a video by Innuendo Studios, the whole channel’s political, and this video is no exception, but if you look up “Innuendo Studios how to radicalize a normie” on YouTube that’s the video. You often only need a handful of very small things going wrong, or even going right, and the wrong support structure. It can literally just be graduating highschool while not having a super supportive family. With me it was my grandmother (who raised me up until that point) dying, and making a friend who was on /b/. That was it.
I still don’t actually have a notable disgust response to most gross things. Gore makes me uncomfortable because of a quite severe fear of death, but that only applies to real people, so I can watch animated media with it, and be fine? I would blame /b/, and rotten for that, but I don’t even think I had one back then? Even smells don’t get to me.
Not sure if gore in a surgeon’s context would get to me. I’ve definitely watched some surgery videos out of curiosity, and been fine?
Could be frontal lobe, could just be partial dissociation to get through it in your teenage years, who knows. We were on /b/ for a reason, after all, and it wasn’t because we were happy with our situation
