I imagine the fear that must go through the mind that has to experience those videos. Walking home I imagine myself being brutally murdered. Sitting in the car, images of the most gruesome accident dance in my head. There is nothing that can make me feel OK about that anymore. My friend showed it to me “You guys gotta see this!” I saw the terrorist beheading video when I was in 8th grade. Merciless slaughter – its fucked up beyond words. I don’t think the human mind is suppose to deal with that kind of shit. All this non-sensical killing softens the mind to these types of situations, seeing it happen for real is almost a game to I’ve seen them and I’m not glad. I’ve seen teenagers literally zone into Battlefield or CoD for hours, days, weeks without really realizing what they’re doing. We’re enamored by pride and justice that killing “bad” people in video games and hearing about it on TV or reading in the news hardly even registers. Americans specifically in my experience are not at all exposed to real violence and tragedy. There are countries where things as terrible or worse happen every day yet they deal with it and try to move on for the better. But I’m glad I watched it and know what that’s like… I’ve never shown them to anyone else to get their reaction but I’d assume if they’re laughing about it and not taking it seriously is because they’re just so sheltered and conditioned. It’s pretty terrible and leaves me feeling very uncomfortable. I’ve seen videos similar to what you’re describing… beheadings and different graphic violence. We have a pretty decent mass of people here on High Existence and we need to start spreading the word that this shit is not okay. But these videos are more gruesome than any horror movie out there. Now I’m not going to link any websites, because Im not going to support any of them. This is now going into a deep physiological issue. Are people really growing up to be this submissive to peer pressure? I wouldn’t even call this peer pressure because it is beyond that. But the kids that are watching these videos aren’t being influenced by anyone except their peers. I mean I know horrible things like genocide have happened in the past, but the dictators that started these genocides used very advanced tactics and communication skills to influence the people into believing that these things were okay. Horror movies are one thing but this is a whole new level. These are “normal” and regular everyday teens who seem very well rounded and are even well educated… And these aren’t kids who are complete freaks. They will watch these videos with unblinking eyes and will start laughing. Kids my age (16), and kids I used to be friends with. Its that they are getting attention by kids. The main thing about this that bothers me isn’t even that these sites exist. Now I know humanity is fucked up and there are a lot of psychos out there. In other words people find the most gruesome way to kill people and post it on these websites. Some of these things really bad… Im not sure how many people on HE have heard about these sites, but there are plenty of websites out there that are essentially YouTube Killing websites. So basically with the rise of the internet, there has been many things that have been created. But I think it is a very important topic that needs to be discussed and solutions really need to be found. I was surprised to find no threads related to this on HE.
