If you enjoy watching people get murdered for real, that's pretty messed up. Liking horror movies is one thing, but actually enjoying real murder is something else entirely.

Those were real people, with families who probably would have been rather upset at the idea of someone getting off on the video of their loved one's violent murder. If I were related to one of those American journalists who was beheaded by ISIS it would be bad enough to know that there was video footage out there that people could watch of it, but to know that there were people who watched it because they enjoyed it would make it so much harder to cope with their loss.

Have you ever stopped to think about that, or would thinking about that interfere with your enjoyment of the videos?

Something to ponder.


To be completely honest... I don't care. I like what I like and will continue to like what I like.

So it doesn't bother you at all that real humans (like you) were killed for your entertainment? That could be an indication of psychopathy, you know. That's quite concerning.

it is my considered opinion that there are dark triad types here on WP. it is possible to exhibit both aspie and sociopathic behaviors, I've seen it.

You know, some people end up on autism forums because they hear about the common myth that people on the autism spectrum have no empathy. If you don't experience any empathy for other humans, autism might not be your issue.

That is the second time someone here has mentioned that term to me (dark triad). Now I'm going to have to go look it up.

I had a morbid fascination with real gore videos when I was about your age ( probably a bit older actually ) and I wouldn't say it was entertainment in fact it was a bit like research , pushing myself to see where my limits were. I would definitely advise you to try and curb your gore interest as I personally don't think it's good for the mind and will f**k you up eventually even if you don't think it's harming you. And even if you do have psychopathic traits ( not suggesting you do ) it's not a big deal if you put them to good use.

I don't want to talk about this anymore. Thank you.

My own reactions are contextual.
As a hopeful surgeon, seeing the blood, guts etc themselves does not affect me.
If I see someone murdered with there guts ripped out, I think thats horrible and disturbing, the gore element adds to disgust at the crime, but i am not disgusted at the gore itself per se.
One thing that absolutely sickens me to my core is someone harming an animal for enjoyment. If I ever so much as see someone hint at it my impulse is to smack the everloving hell out of them and don't stop until they are a beaten, bloody, gory, mess.

Just 'Ick' so i dont often watch it.

I don't mind if its not realistic like in the old movies in the 70's and 80's or in Hammer Horror for example, but the more realistic stuff just upsets me.

For the same reason I stay away from the news. It's always about someone hurting someone needlessly or about the government ragging on disabled people again....

Whom the hell needs to see or hear that?!

I don't react much. I tend to have a low empathy response to things that do not directly concern me or I have not experienced. I'm not a psycho or anything though!! I do have empathy, I just have to "unlock" it if that makes sense.

Blood and guts doesn't bother me per se, but sadistic behaviour, even if it's just psychological, upsets me a lot. The one exception, I'm not sure quite why, is feet - I instantly cringe seeing any kind of damage to feet or toes, even just someone stepping on a thumb-tack (just thinking, maybe its because of all the Lego strewn about my bedroom as a kid!)

I don't feel anything unless its something I can relate to, like the harming a child or an animal.

Gore has never really bothered me. Then again, I didn't really watch or play really gory stuff until I was older.

In fiction, I don't believe gore bothers me, but I do get uncomfortable when other people start to watch, but then again I get uncomfortable when people are watching anything I'm doing.

As for real life, the gore itself doesn't bother me, it what or how it happened that can upset me.
