I know this is a Controversial question, you don’t need to answer if you don’t want to.

That I remember seeing, Encyclopedia Dramatica. That shit made sure to document every disgusting shit that has ever “graced” the collective mind of the internet, like 2 girls 1 cup, zippo cat, 1 guy 1 jar and other shit. Me and my stupid morbid curiosity in reading it at least got me smart enough to avoid actually watching any of those videos.
They also had a shock page with extreme scat, goatse, prolapse and whatever else you can imagine that could shock people.
The complete and utter media black out on a genocide. I got banned from facebook 2 years ago for saying a war with a 1-to-50 casualty rate imbalance was more akin to massacre than a war.
Hmmm. Three-way tie, TBH. I’ve been on the internet since before Netscape, so take this for what it’s worth.
A child (maybe six?) being raped was definitely one of the worst; she was screaming and crying in the brief clip I watched. Apparently it was her father that was raping her; AFAIK he’s in prison for life now. Hopefully his life in prison is very short. I’m not even sure how many years ago this was now.
Crush videos involving kittens on an .onion site about a decade ago. I clicked on a thumbnail just long enough to verify that yeah, it was what I thought it was, and then left the site. I’ve owned cats my whole life; if I knew someone personally that did that, I would absolutely kill them. Yes, I had a stronger visceral reaction to that than I did a child rape video, and no, that doesn’t make any sense.
A video from Mexico showing a purported child rapist; he was restrained, and dogs were chewing his genitals off. He had those high, breathy screams of someone in agony that was unable to catch their breath. It ended after the dogs tore his entire lower abdomen to shreds and one of the cartel (?) members cut his throat. Maybe 15 years ago? I’m pretty sure that this was a hi-def video.
I didn’t watch the video of the Russian officer cutting the head off a Ukrainian POW. I’m past the point of having any desire to watch videos that further decrease my opinion of humanity.
Watching Sadam Hussain getting hung.
Saw it on a computer at school with the whole class
Starting a thread with the equivalent of “You don’t have to share your opinion if it makes you or someone else uncomfortable” is the most controversial thing I’ve seen today at least.
Back when the styles project was a site and rotten.com posted real police photos. I was very young and into horror movies but that was over the edge.

SPEAK UP, F**ET! FADDER CAN’T HEAR YOU!
Spacedicks was a terrible place full of terrible people, but I still feel like something has been lost.
A kick streamer took a homeless woman out on a date in a restaurant then dine and dashed and left her w the bill… on stream… i seen all typa cartel gore shit in my time, but this is just a different type of evil. Even worse its a recent story too
Reading this just got me down. Why are people like this.
Damn did they get shamed to oblivion at least?
No idea, what’s embarrassing is that it’s basically a tiny echo chamber he only had like a hundred people lives and a good portion of them were like “WWW” and other disgusting shit. Someordinarygamers made a video ab him and tried to hide his username and stuff so he wouldn’t get the ‘cloud’ he was chasing so hard.
A Man being pulled into an industrial lathe. Spaghettification does not require a black hole…
I was there, in the days of rotten.com
Stileproject had its moments too
Oh… This is it. The site I blacked out. Good grief what a horrible place.
Fair warning, I’m not here to judge but take it from someone who spent a lot of time trying to consume the most outrageous internet content to desensitise themselves - it all catches up eventually.
Anyway, this is some of the stuff that comes to mind:
Botfly extractions
Teenage girl suicide (hanging in a tree - too young to die IMO)
Microwaving kittens
Toybox killer transcript and tapes (I don’t like torturing people who don’t deserve it)
People having sex with aborted foetuses
Where are these people and how do they get like this? This is ultra fucked up
Holy hell. Things went from pretty aweful to horendous. I regret having the abilty to read :-/
I don’t know why the kittens should be the one that hurt me the most to read but well, it did.
I watched faces of death when I was younger and I saw a hostage situation somewhere in south east Asia. Hostages were getting pulled out of the building on the tail end of the operation.
Mixed in must have a hostile because the security forces shot a guy with shotguns at short range.
It’s like his whole chest and back opened up like a book.
I don’t seek out gore like I used to. No ukraine war footage, no cartel videos. None of that. I know worse is out there just by hearing about it 2nd hand. (Like the infamous funky town video)
There was a Mexican cartel video of a guy they had killed and peeled his face off so it was just bare skull.
As the video continues, the guy rolls over and you see his bare eyeballs moving around… Still alive.
That fucked me up pretty bad, then he reaches up to touch his face & they’d cut off his hands…
I’m never going to Mexico.
As somebody who goes to Juarez several times per week and has also traveled extensively throughout Mexico, cartel violence typically does not reach the average tourist, just like how people who go to New York are unlikely to actually see the mob. I have experienced more hassle from police than gangs, and even that is usually a cursory questioning and pocket check for drugs.
15 years ago, there were some cities that were in the middle of organized crime wars, and sometimes things spilled over into public where civilians could get hurt. This created a lot of heat for the cartels, and more recently they have mostly been operating under the radar or in remote neighborhoods again.
The bigger risk than violence is kidnapping, but even that doesn’t tend to get aimed at the tourist population due to the international backlash it would cause.
If you keep your wits about you, travel in Ubers that you order rather than unmarked cabs, and don’t except drinks from strangers, then Mexico can be a wonderful adventure. The Mexican people have been mostly extremely good to me, and I refuse to cut them off as dangerous just because the news tries to tell me so.
um just mentioning you say initially killed and then peeled but as you progress it sounds like that is not the case.
That was my thought process as I was watching it. The mutilated “corpse” was a pretty fucked up thing to do, then the reveal that he was alive made it so much worse than it already was.
