    The current sanitized internet of “unalive”, “f*ck”, etc. would shit bricks if exposed to all of the heinous shit of yestercentury

      Lemon party, meatspin, various numbers of girls and cups, tubgirl and goatse. Links and emails and timed redirects. Any way someone could think of to get others to look at something they’d been tricked into seeing.

      The children of today have no idea of the scars we bear.

    The concept behind rickrolling afaik is that certain people cannot be upset by extreme violence and the grotesque, but as an alternative method you can inflict psychic damage on those same people with cheesy love songs

    What’s goatse?

    EDIT: Two hours, and no one’s posted it yet? I left the door open, all you had to do was walk through it.

    Goatse, lemonparty, meatspin, earrape jumpscare YouTube videos, liveleaks.

    A cutesy, if formulaic 1980s synthpop song is how you apologize.

      I’ll never forget the video of the man, I think he was a journalist, being beheaded that was used everywhere for a minute.

        There used to be some horrific beheading videos from the Chechan wars in the 90’s. Some poor Russian conscript crying for his mother while his head was hacked off with a combat knife

      I never got the lemon party one. “Oh no, old man sex? How terrible!” Unless I bore witness to dismemberment, irl vore, or extremely violent sexual or psychological perversion, it rarely stuck with me.

        It was an earlier time and being gay was a lot less okay.

        I mean it’s the same with shit like meatspin. It’s w/e, just some penis, but back then showing someone something gay? waow what a funny prank, ewww I don’t wanna see something gay.

        Small reminder of how far we’ve come. Or rather, how far we haven’t, since I imagine people would have the same reaction today.

          I mean, meat spin was less about the gay and more about the multi-sense experience. Spinning penis to a loud song about spinning. It’s goofy and visible. Or, at least that was how I perceived it.
