Guess that is why I chose not to view the vid.
Do you remember the very old SNL comedy skit wherein everyone at the family kitchen table has to drink the curdled sour milk to confirm how disgusting it is? Then they take another hearty swig just to rememeber how totally nasty it tastes.

i think you are an incomplete person if you ignore half the emotions. much arent isnt admired for being aesthetically pleasing, but for invoking emotions that are usually tied to physical/emotional pain/loss without having to actually experience those things.
watching gruesome images or videos doesnt make you a disturbed/deranged person no more than listening to goth music makes you cool and interesting to be around.

In my opinion, enjoying watching gruesome images or videos does make you at least somewhat disturbed/deranged. If you don't enjoy them but you watch them anyway then you might not be deranged.

... where there was nature and earth, life and water, I saw a desert landscape that was unending, resembling some sort of crater, so devoid of reason and light and spirit that the mind could not grasp it on any sort of conscious level and if you came close the mind would reel backward, unable to take it in. It was a vision so clear and real and vital to me that in its purity it was almost abstract. This was what I could understand, this was how I lived my life, what I constructed my movement around, how I dealt with the tangible. This was the geography around which my reality revolved: it did not occur to me, ever, that people were good or that a man was capable of change, or that the world could be a better place through one’s taking pleasure in a look or a feeling or a gesture, or receiving another person’s love or kindness. Nothing was affirmative, the term 'generosity of spirit' applied to nothing, was a cliché, was some kind of bad joke. Sex is mathematics. Individuality no longer an issue. What does intelligence signify? Define reason. Desire – meaningless. Intellect is not a cure. Justice is dead. Fear, recrimination, innocence, sympathy, guilt, waste, failure, grief, were things, emotions, that no one really felt anymore. Reflection is useless, the world is senseless. Evil is its only permanence. God is not alive. Love cannot be trusted. Surface, surface, surface was all that anyone found meaning in ... this was civilization as I saw it, colossal and jagged…

sorry about the long ass quote but it's small in comparison to the long ass book it came out of (which was otherwise pretty shite)
maybe it gives some interesting imagery as to what that kind of barren sensless mind is like... surface surface surface...

yeh i suppose... i mean i don't want to condemn anyone for anything...
i just personally know i would find watching those vids incredibly disturbing. and i know many soldiers exposed to death and suffering come back incredibly disturbed...
why would anyone want to do that to themselves?
are the people who watch that stuff desensitized by tv? do they think its a cartoon or something? do they block the reality of it from their mind?
i dunno just seems fucked.
would you 'gore' fans enjoy watching children being tortured? how about raped? whats the diff..?

comon now.
if someone answers "yes i would enjoy child torture and rape." then theres gonna be a general "you sick fucker." reaction.
but if they answer no, then they have to come up with some sort of reasoning why it's okto watch this kind of stuff no matter the content if it's adults, but heavens no not when it's a child. won't somebody think of the children?

fuck i dont get it... wtf. why would you want to watch that?
To understand the extremes of the human psyche for one thing.
I don't shy away from any truth, no matter how ugly it is. You are satisfied by simply reading about human suffering (you're reading this thread, no?). I want to see it in all its gory detail. Truth is truth even if you close your eyes.
What I don't get is how you can be puzzled that not everyone is the same as you.
-------------------- Republican Values: 1) You can't get married to your spouse who is the same sex as you. 2) You can't have an abortion no matter how much you don't want a child. 3) You can't have a certain plant in your possession or you'll get locked up with a rapist and a murderer. 4) We need a smaller, less-intrusive government.

i suppose i can maybe see the fascination from this perspective... but at the same time it sounds as if you are viewing it like a scientist would. complete detachment. indifference...
would you watch it if it were a child? would you watch it if it were a friend? would you watch it if it were your mother?
is it really the whole 'truth' if you detach yourself emotionally from it?
...truth can be found everywhere. i dont need to watch a gore video to understand that humans suffer.
its a horrible truth

i would be puzzled if they were. but i am interested in what motivates people... especially when they do something which seems counter intuitive
