I became desensitized thanks to copious gore at 13 😂

Goatse, 1man1jar, 2girls1cup, Mr. Hands, BME Pain Olympics, and unhealthy amounts of 4chan means the horrors of today slide off me like water off a ducks back.

Add tubgirl, 3 guys 1 hammer, kids in a sandbox, Mr hands, blue waffle and a whole lotta other stuff that shouldn’t have been as unfiltered and uncategorized as it was at the time.

I'm old enough to remember renting Faces of Death on VHS.

Same. Although I had a couple of re-sensitizing events when each of my children were born. But sometimes the allure gets to me...

So many chechen beheading videos. They pair well with the HD drone grenade kills coming out of Ukraine
