I once thought Uncyclopedia was funny, but re-reading it, it's actually pretty cringe. Even when I was an edgy teenager, I thought ED was trying too hard.
Yeah same, but I found myself drawn in. What freaked me out most were images and clips that I haven't found anywhere else and I'm not going into detail about them. I never did manage to reach the bottom of their "offended" page.
There was a weird allure in learning about taboo subjects and just being blasted in the face by the worst aspects and darkest impulses of humanity. It was the closest you could get to Lovecraftian forbidden knowledge as a bored teenager
In some ways I can understand why young people are still flocking to places like 4chan
I had a friend who frequented 4chan and he called me in one time to show off an entire thread of child porn he found. It was just an endless scroll of it and I couldn't help but wonder why he was even there in the first place.
I also had a friend who spent a lot of time on /b/ who would tell me he regularly came across things like child porn and snuff videos on there. While he was aware that seeing that shit was fucking him up psychologically at the same time it was like he felt being able to stomach it made him a stronger person or something
That was me in middle school. That same friend and I would scour the internet for anything disturbing we could find. Our country had the highest murders per capita in those years and so there was a lot of homegrown stuff we'd come across. People would post abuse and all kinds of sick shit on Facebook pages. I'm pretty sure it took a mental toll on us but we thought we were badass for enduring it all.
I remember when I was like 11 or something someone showed me a bait and switch video that started with someone cutting a sausage and just as the knife went into the sausage
Serious Content Warning: really fucked up old internet videos
it switched to a video of a guy getting decapitated. to this day I still remember the quiet weird gurgling sound the head or the neck made (I'm not really sure which) just after they were separated.
