What's sad is how bad so many wholesome movies are. There are a few but what most people consider wholesome is torment for others. At least make it interesting so people can enjoy them. Rom coms suck. Cutesie family flicks are more for kids. I just think it's a difficult request.

[@merror-fx8cn]

I actually got to the level before Gusomilk thanks to being a Rotten regular! I quit *right* before LiveLeak became a thing, which, was honestly good for my well-being?- and that's probably the only reason I didn't get into the full bottom tier stuff. I absolutely can picture myself searching that shit out. The reason I stopped was because, like, I went to college and started having friends and people who validated me as a weird edgy person in the world- and, don't get me wrong, a lot of bad shit happened to me then too, but it wasn't this ugly secret I was carrying around anymore, where the specific thing about me made me deserve it was that I was a creepy kid. And I think part of it was- I was a really traumatised teenager who loved upsetting horror *because* it felt like one of the only things that validated my sense of the world being a secretly very unsafe, highly upsetting place, and seeing gore porn absolutely felt like, the real shit, the truth of how horrible the world is, the hellish qualities of other humans, etc. etc. You know the drill. Getting away from that was good for me, but what was even better was, living with people and in places that were at least mostly safe and validating? Because May is absolutely correct, though I think the causation here can be messy- sometimes you come to gore *because* the world is being bad to you, and you want something, anything, that confirms that it's not just in your head. It doesn't actually help, at all, but that's the purpose it serves.

[@Auggiekins]

Yeah, a lot of this is just…. someone’s gross porn, and I’m not sure what that something special may refers to is that makes people want to watch them outside of that context. I thought it was artistry, but maybe just…. random chance, it got found and spread as a “challenge” to try watching, or something for shitheads to send to friends/strangers.

I also want to add, because May brings this up: if you're considering doing porn with an actual crew and not just your friends, you should Google the director, the crew, the other cast members! See if there are other industry workers who have things to say about the crew! Ask your friends in the industry! This wasn't very possible before about a decade ago beyond word-of-mouth, but it's a good way to make sure you're shooting with people who at least, like, aren't Max Hardcore level jerks, or if you're not up for Lucifer Valentine's... whole deal, and just like with any other employer, it's good to know what you're getting into with a shoot. Take care of yourselves out there.

[@ConvincingPeople]

The BDSM performer Charlotte Sartre actually gave a really good rundown of this based on her own early experiences in an episode of Noisextra-a podcast mainly dedicated to noise and experimental music; she was on discussing the work of Rozz Williams-and, man, knowing who you're working for and with is *imperative* in that industry, whether it's other actors, directors, agents, crew members, the whole deal.

One could say the late 90's early 2000's have been the "Dark Age" for porn productions before that it was a rather limited set of players and these days communication works much better, so "problematic" players in front and behind the camera do have a harder time.

So, in her honor, my mother and I plan on learning it and keeping that going. Keep strong and keep your mental health as a priority. This stuff is so depressing and shocking and hurtful. It even hurts generations after. I hope you are well and your family is healing as much as they can.

That sounds awful and a vivid experience. But I think that’s why so many people are watching this channel - all horror films help us engage with uncomfortable and difficult feelings and memories. I had to force myself to watch Texas Chainsaw Massacre when it became available but I did because I wanted to face it, in the same way I want to face the horrors of real life. In western cultures we don’t face death very well, we don’t have good ways to deal with it. Having said that, I can’t see any defence for animal cruelty, violent misogynistic treatment of women or real snuff, or films that focus on nothing other than sadism and mutilation - and it’s horrible that there’s market for it.

OH ALSO, whilst BDSM isn’t something I’m really into, I don’t like how extra edgy pornographers take it and turn it into something that’s just… straight up abuse. I’ve had some friends who are into BDSM and I’ve also researched the topic because, again, whilst I’m not into it really, I am a sex positive person and I find researching these things to be interesting. The general consensus around BDSM is that you or your partner should never feel afraid. You should never be in real danger. A lot of the toys made for BDSM are made specifically to be safe to use. My old flatmate bought some BDSM tape and showed me that it only sticks to itself and that it doesn’t grip onto hair or skin that tight at all, and that it’s easy to remove if need be. One of the things I love about the BDSM community is how passionate the members are about consent, clear communication and aftercare. I know extreme BDSM exists, but even then for it to be classified as BDSM it NEEDS to be consensual, safe and fun for all parties involved. Once any of those factors are lost, in my eyes (and in a lot of BDSM lovers eyes), it stops being fun and it becomes genuine sexual abuse.

[@biggestastiest]

actual BDSM participant here, sexual trauma does feed into fetishes quite often. alot of people in this community like to feel fearful, but feeling actually unsafe is a different thing entirely. yes some of us do consent to being hit or punched or whatever, however, the biggest thing we uphold is consent. consent is always key. we're degenerates, but not monsters.

[@cisrot]

@@biggestastiest aww I wouldn’t say you’re degenerates! Some people are just kinkier than others! The only people I consider to be degenerates are pedophiles, zoophiles and people who fetishise their family members. I love the consensual aspect of BDSM, even when it’s extreme (needle / piercing play, ball busting, etc). Something I notice as well is that at the end of typical studio produced BDSM porn, there’s mostly always an after scene where the actors are talking about how much fun they had whilst cuddling.

[@biggestastiest]

@@cisrot thank you :) also aftercare is really important between partners. we always make sure to tell each other they're loved afterward

I used to seek out this sort of stuff a LOT in my teens, it led to me becoming almost emotionally numb, and it took a toll on my mental health. Thankfully I've regained my emotions since then lol but I can still not flinch at really bad gore, but animal/child abuse still gives me that sick feeling when I see it.

[@leeannlokey]

i did something similar when i was younger and i even ran a gore page. almost nothing would get to me, but then i stopped consuming that media for awhile and now it’s like a switch turned in my brain and i cant stand really any gore. especially animals and children being hurt, i was never okay with that though. it’s so scary how young we can be and see this fucked up of shit. it’s something that can change you for forever no matter what age, but it’s just sad we were one of those who saw and sought after it at a young age.

[@somethingsomething9006]

@@leeannlokey I used to frequent Best Gore and Ogrish, then kind of Live Leaks when it was new, but at that point I started to fall out of the gore chasing. Honestly, I wish I could flip that switch with gore, because even recently I got exposed to a beheading video as a fucked up prank, and I honestly wasn't bothered. I really fucked my brain up, I'm just grateful I gave up pursuing that stuff, I have a much more positive outlook on life because of that. Like you, I was never "used" to the animal violence, it always hurt my soul, but at one point it didn't hurt as bad. Now I'm back to feeling truly horrified when animals are involved. Honestly, I do worry for kids on the internet with this stuff. There are some seriously trauamtizing things you can very easily get exposed to, even TikTok has assholes throwing around beheading videos in makeup tags. I can't imagine just wanting to see how someone does their makeup and then see someone getting their head chopped off with a machete. Preteens can easily be in those kinds of places too.

Child abuse makes me cry and I'm not really in that pit anymore, but I'm still totally unfazed by most of the worst gore at this point. Stumbling upon the shotgun video May mentions at the end is the last time seeing anything made me feel something not the visuals but the scenario. Even for the toolbox recording I felt nothing. I feel like that has to do with the time separation though maybe. Luckily for myself I never ended up watching the Christchurch video. Not the goriest I would imagine, but I can't emotionally deal with that.

[@somethingsomething9006]

@@CraftsmanOfAwsomenes I'm in a similar boat, but I actually did see the Christchurch video, but I wasn't fazed as much as I wanted to be. It's hard to talk about being unfazed by stuff without coming off as _that_ person who comes along and says "Oh you've seen nothing, kid, I've seen REAL fucked up stuff!" in a beheading video. I really want to be able to be grossed out or fazed by gore, but I just can't. I've overloaded my brain with fucked up videos and images. Similarly to you, it's the emotional impact that affects me now, but the visceral gore does nothing to me. I can feel sad when I watch the shotgun suicide video because suicide is always tragic, but the gore aspect doesn't even remotely affect me.

I feel particularly bad about this last level and your extra mentions mostly because I am from Mexico and somebody I personally knew for many years, played in a band together even, was murdered by Cartels. Yes, in the fashion that those videos probably depict. It's one thing for people to go "Oh f*cked up videos on the internet!" but it gets very real when it actually gets close to you: this is something we had to live with. This is something we *still* have to live with to this day: Cartels killed 17 people on a mayor border city right across from Texas just a few days ago. So big disclaimer about Not Safe for Life: Just don't do this to yourself. And if you had in the past (Because yes I did watched these videos in my youth ngl) it's never ok to just keep going because you think you're fully desensitized and still an ok person: you're not, it does has an effect on you so just don't.

it is rather unlikely that one takes permanet trauma from that but it's not impossible. Death, for us is fictional as long as it's not about anyone we know in person. If it wasn't like that most people couldn't watch the news without puking there guts out. It all boils down to empathy.

[@ConvincingPeople]

One big thing that makes me want to watch this, in addition to what everyone else has said: For as edgelordy as some of his statements have been, Kiyotaka Tsurisaki seems like a guy with something genuinely interesting to say in his work. Like, so far as I can tell, his whole thesis as an artist is that in the Global North especially, people have shunted death and the dead to the periphery of our everyday lives so they don't have to think about them, and that precludes people from having any meaningful, honest relationship with death despite it being something that happens to all of us. And for whatever reason, his brain is wired in such a way as to see what's left after people stop being alive as artistically interesting and worthy of discussion, and by presenting the dead like this, he intends to confront his audience with that dissonance and short-circuit that cultural fear of death. Is he probably a pretty fucked up dude? Certainly. But it's a valuable perspective, and I'm not sure many other people could make a film so focused on the raw *labour* of preparing the dead for burial.

[@traewilson5127]

@@ConvincingPeople Yeah, as admirable as that goal is, you don't get that preoccupied with death without...how I put it...your mentality will inherently not fit in with the norm.

I have a lot of morbid curiosity for subjects like this and seek out people talking about them, but I'm actually very squeamish and sensitive to gore and suffering, so I avoid the actual things being discussed intensely. By the end of this iceberg I was feeling really conflicted about why I'm doing this to myself and what you said was so uplifting. Thanks for approaching such horrible subject matter like you do.

As easy as it is to take a nihilistic approach to this sort of thing, I'm really glad that you took the time at the end to remind everyone that the worst of life and the worst of humanity should not form the basis for our interpretation of the entire human experience. As Sean from AJJ once said; "I have seen the darkest heart of humanity And I truly believe that we are capable of good as well."

[@watchthisnow2865]

I feel like I have now experienced the disturbing movie iceberg without having to actually experience it. For that, I'm eternally grateful 🙏

[@notyetrain]

Having watched Wendigoon's video before your series on the iceberg, I'm only now realizing how messed up a lot of these movies are, or rather what their existence implies about the people that made them. There's this fine line between art and pure unnecessary shock that so many of them cross. I really don't understand what the intention behind most of these are except for "Haha, so disgusting, horrible things on screen" and I really don't like that. I also find it funny how there are several movies on the iceberg that try to criticize the porn industry while creating something equally as exploitative.

[@astridarideout1864]

agreed! i actually like some of the upper tier stuff, cause it's actually trying to make you think, tell a story, etc. the lower levels of the iceberg are a different kind of disturbing, in that it's disturbing that people would want to make or watch them. i've got a fairly strong stomach, but i just don't see the point of gawking at shock stuff.

[@jimbogreen7029]

[@x0ShYgIrL0x]

It’s fascinating how many people dipped their toe in similar content when they were younger, myself included (the last 10min were just all horrible flashbacks). And similar to others, I became so numb to what I was watching and I realize now how much I was detaching from reality and myself. I’m also now highly emotional to those in pain, it’s so weird how many can relate and how it changed us. That being said, the internet really is a scary place and I’m glad that I just enjoy the first 2 tiers in the iceberg now, and that 3 can be too much for me now lol.

Didn't expect to say that when talking about this horrible shit

[@anfhe]

When you mentioned human urinal stuff my first reaction was "oh come on, I thought it was gonna be really bad, that's just normal gross stuff" and when that thought actually registered, I had to take a moment to regret how low I've gotten, at 23, thinking that human urinal stuff is "not that bad". I feel old and tired. I miss being a kid and not knowing about any of the shit I've found on the internet.

[@legatelaurie]

I mean, at least some of that is consensual. The fact it jumps so quickly from human toilet stuff to gore and murder though.. The pacing in this iceberg is just - big oof

[@ConvincingPeople]

To be fair, the other stuff down there is very bad for other reasons, and May did say she preferred not to give the full picture of what was going on with some of these, so I suspect there are some additional nasty aspects to that one. That said, it's an oddly organised list to begin with, and it might be down there for, as she said, the weirdness factor of realising that you know the names of particular films in that genre.

[@legatelaurie]

@@ConvincingPeople For sure. I did read a description of Gusomilk and some of the others. Some do seem like just "normal" human toilet stuff which is the weird part. I get it's an fairly extreme fetish, but alongside mixtapes with actual murder it's obviously not great paced

Your comments and interventions throughout, letting your audience know that it's okay to be uncomfortable or disgusted by these things, and that one should rather spend time participating in significant things that make us healthier and better versions of ourselves. I really wish more people had this outlook in life. You deserve a fun break and completely support you if you need to take some time. Also, regarding the ideas for new videos, I'm absolutely into the cryptids video idea!!!

Amazing video, I really needed this series. Having watched the Wendigoon videos at time I almost felt afraid or confused by his detachment from the subject material. No shade on him I am sure it was disturbing to him as well, but you really helped convey the actual pain and suffering it takes to even watch one of the films on this iceberg.

[@aderyn7600]

I remember being a teenager and there were posts on Tumblr of people dying at the hands of cops with captions like "you need to watch this to truly understand what's going on" and then id watch it and just be a bit of a less for a bit. I got into horror stories on KZbin and there was a channel that showed like people dying, and I remember seeing one video of a guy begging to not be murdered but was murdered anyways and I very vividly remember just going "hmm im a child.... maybe I shouldn't be watching all of this.... maybe this is going to negatively affect me later in life" and now I just have very numb reactions to any sort of death i hear about which isn't a great response? So yeah its fun to watch you talk about this stuff so I can be interested but never actually have to watch any of this. :D

[@kipjustice]

geez oh man i can tell this was really heavy to talk about. i admire what a positive and grounded view on life you have even after seeing so much of this shit, like you said its important not to fill your little cup up with all this horrific shit. take care and do something fun for yourself now that this is over, i hope you feel better and are doing alright in general may!!

[@pinkdruidess6236]

Watching this series made me have a crazy flashback to an earlier time in my internet history. I'm old as hell by internet standards, so there was a time I was an admin on a message board. It was a very innocent message board where we mostly talked about fandoms we liked, and the population was almost entirely female identifying people. It was not Something Awful. But someone joined and started spam posting in every thread they could find this heinous NSFL stuff. And because this was in the long ago, it was all still images, but still. It was all eviscerated bodies and things no one needs to look at. As an admin who was present in the moment, it was my job to chase him everywhere he went and delete these images as fast as I could, but many other young woman such as myself at that time couldn't help but see the pictures before I could get to them. I'm a horror fan. I felt shaken, because I do know real violence and movie violence are not the same, but I felt equipped to deal with it better than some others did. I did not like the energy he created in the forums that day, because everyone felt vaguely unsafe and threatened for a couple of days, even though we insta-banned him. Because consent matters. Even when we're talking about who we expose to extreme, dark media. So I'm with you, May. Watch your step on the internet, for sure. Don't get scarred for life.

[@railloki]

I know the toy box audio exists, but there were actually a pair of serial killers called the toolbox killers, who recorded audio of their victims, including the clip mentioned in the video. The audio was played during their trial and some people in the courtroom left while it played, which you can find video of, but I was under the impression it was lost.

Thanks for the effort May, I hope you can relax with something less soul searing.

[@waapfu]

the list of like, warnings abt common shock footage, at the end reminds me that i listened to a weird-ass album that came up on my youtube recommends once and it ended with audio of a suicide and i was super fucked up by that for a long time. it's horrible that people would share that kind of shit around. these videos kicked ass! as someone who had a Bad Time from reading the wikipedia synopsis of the human centipede, i found this very palatable and interesting to listen to. i would def enjoy videos of a similar format with less mentally damaging subject matter, it was much more enjoyable in the higher tiers of iceberg when there was more of you talking about things that you were interested in and knowledgable about

I agree with people asking for an arthouse/avant-garde/experimental film iceberg sorta thing, especially if it relates to horror movies.

[@somekid7]

I think this kinda helped me better understand my C-PTSD at 27 years old. Long story short, I was abused through most of my childhood. Honestly I consider myself lucky despite it because of all the people I've met who've been through worse. I learned not to invalidate my own trauma of course. I just recognize how lucky I am in a lot of ways despite being a poor, queer ethnic-minority and struggling with a mental disorder. Anyway, I realize a lot of my anxiety and depression get triggered by memories of horrific shit I've either experienced firsthand or secondhand. A lot of the time I don't even realize it because it's so normal to me. I found communities and hold myself up decently well. But it helps to recognize these things because I can be more proactive about my triggers. Thanks for listening. Solidarity, and let's keep dismantling the systems that make people's lives horrible. Let's move with compassion and keep building on the work of those who came before us.

I don't comment on videos often, but I went down the horrible shock video rabbit hole back when I was a teenager, and I remember having the same experience of surreal disconnect you described. While that definitely changed me as a person, the biggest thing it did was send me off to find happier media. I was hoping to find something meaningful and transgressive with a lot of the grimiest things I watched, and instead I found a lot of things that felt empty to me. Thank you for putting that experience into words better than I ever could, because I hope it'll save some poor idiot like me out there a lot of time. Also, thanks for adding films to the list in the previous video- you brought up a lot of things I was confused about not seeing on the list!

Good grief, May. I have been having a terrible depression spell, so I keep getting up to watch bits of this and go back to sleep, rinse and repeat, which may not sound very good, but I want to say…. Going on this journey with you (as well as your NSFL iceberg) has actually helped me process a lot of my trauma, especially csa trauma, and the resulting ways I coped with it in childhood. I think I understand myself and what I have gone through better now, the reasons why I am desensitized to some of this stuff and the horrifying reality of being exposed to it as a child, and can be kinder to myself with that in mind. I cannot thank you enough, especially because I know how hard you pushed yourself to make this video. You are the best, May. A cute pink-haired catgirl gently and compassionately unpacking these subjects with me is cheaper and more effective than a lot of the therapy I’ve tried.
