How bad are the police in the UK when they're still struggling to find all the victims after the serial killer confessed to everything?

like American police when they let one of Jeffery Dahmer blood covered victims back to him. police are idiots. there's a reason why "c" students become cops.

And the bullshit part is that she doesn't want to be associated with the people on "Odysse" because of extremist views. Look honey, if you're going to start making darker edger, you already should know what kind of people make that kind of content to begin with.

Edgelords like "Plaguemoth" that crack jokes and wisecracks at videos of literal people/animals dying in horrific ways. It's kind of like going into a seedy biker bar and not liking anybody in there but still saying that your tough enough to fit right in.

late responding again but it is relevant to more of my feelings on today's internet horror sphere. A lot of these types we've seen want to be part of popular groups but they themselves don't fit. They are either shallow, boring, don't even like the content, argumentative, extremely judgemental, etc. What they do is squeeze their way in and try to curate the thing for themselves which is what happens. It's why many of us think the internet horror circle is the sterile safety net where people want to be in topics that are "edgy" without getting their hands dirty but also making money off it. I like the biker analogy because it is also makes me think of said person openly hating the lifestyle of being a seedy biker while saying they should change to fit how they want bikers to be.

Reminds me of this manga I started reading recently, called Hour of the Zombie. It's not great, I feel because of its adherence to typical Japanese tropes, highschool setting, and character archetypes, but the premise is really interesting.

One day, suddenly a zombie outbreak starts. All the usual things happen, some people start going feral, the bitten quickly turn, some people get fully eaten, some zombies are killed, etc.
The twist, however, is that as quickly as it started, it passes. All the zombies regain sanity and control, some having sustained injuries and even disfiguration, but otherwise they're all normal. So now the people who did and did not turn have to come to terms with what they did, and what others did to them, during the crisis.
The double twist then is that shortly after, they lose control again and turn back into zombies. It turns out that the infection activates and deactivates in about 30 minute intervals.
So you've got various factions forming, from uninfected who want to save their infected friends, or uninfected who want to restrain or even kill the infected as prevention; and the infected, some of who want to prevent themselves from hurting others, or those who fear they're gonna be dehumanized, rounded up and killed while they're out of control.
And everyone has to make the best use they can of the 30 minute intervals they have to advance their respective agendas, which leads to things like groups alternating between being hunters and preys as the infection turns on and off.

It's a very interesting concept, but as stated, the extremely shallow and stereotypical manga characters ruin the potential.
Still, it has its moments.

Speaking of manga, is Berzerk any good? I know some memes and the basic story.

It depends. It is clearly not for everyone, due to its very graphic violence and very messed up content, as well as the fact that there aren't any guarantees of the manga ending due to Miura's death. I would honestly wait until it ends to get into it, as there's nothing worse than getting hooked to a story to then discover that it's never going to be finished

Do you have any evidence that they're saying that horror must be censored beyond cringing at edgelord shit, or are you just yapping like when you said this?

I feel like there's a level of willful obtuse-ness when people get mad at Wendigoon and MeatCanyon for not liking when things "go too far" for their tastes. It's not that there should never be dark subjects in horror, but there's an obvious difference between something that builds up dread and tension before utilizing the dark theme and something that's essentially gore porn. Everyone's line is different, some people can't tolerate ANY horror and some people aren't scared until they're reading graphic depictions of children being raped to death, but generally most people (Wendigoon and MC included) don't want to read the latter even if they aren't the former.

I get people's lines are different but peolpe need to understand that works both ways. If you're going to consume horror content don't be surprised that for the sake of consistency everything is mentioned in its fullest as to me censoring can be disrespectful especially when it involves cases of real peolpe. People should be aware of these cases and there shouldn't be any need to censor them so props to the ones that don't do this mostly because we know the others censor so they can play by the rules of Youtube's system and justify the unedited version being on patreon.

Of course this depends on the content too as i sort of expect cases of horrible things peolpe do to other peolpe to be laid out with details and if someone is covering some clown's weird slash fic then i can't say i care if it is censored that much.

Is that podcast any good? Wendigoon’s old iceberg videos were good to throw on during work or for sleep. I never really watched MeatCanyon.

Wendipooner did a whole video praising Blood Meridian which explored themes of child killing and pedophilia as a mainstream. Along with doing a podcast with someone who made a career out of child abuse jokes. Both are demanding horror to stop being so edgy. Yes. Very much is pro-censorship.

Blood Meridian is gay, but youre gayer

Wendigoon not liking how some stories handle child abuse but liking how others handle it isn't pro-censorship you dolt. Do you actually have anything to backup your take of Wendigoon being Pro-Censorship, or is this like when you said Wendigoon and his fans got the wikipedia page for "The Judge" changed to say he was a demon, when both your own archive and wikipedia's own revision history showed that wasn't even close to true?

It's widely considered one of the best manga there is.

But as noted by Toji, the content is not for everyone, and while it's being continued by the author's own studio and his best friend (another celebrated mangaka, who is probably the only person Miura told his plans for the rest of the story), Miura's death may put a damper on the readers' interest.

Kind of hit or miss depending on what they're talking about on a specific episode.

Seconding it is hit or miss depending on what they are covering. I actually didn't mind the Greylock episode because I thought their little bit where they went mask off and roasted their own viewers was pretty funny.

Some parts I completely zone out because they do get pretty spergy at times. But I find it somewhat enjoyable to chuck on while I'm doing chores around the house, doing a super monotonous task at work or driving somewhere that is 30+ minutes of commuting.

I don't have a strong opinion on Meat as a person, I don't really care, he seems like a normal dude and any drama he's been involved in was just people being butt hurt over shit that literally does not matter to anyone who actually has things going on in their lives outside of the internet. I like Wendigoon, even though it seems to be a polarising topic in this thread, not all of his videos, takes and ideals align with mine/my interests, but ultimately he seems like a fine person.

I think this topic has been touched on before, but I think the death of a horror channel starts when they start showing their faces on camera.
I can't stand looking at their faces. I just want to listen to spooky topics with some pictures detailing what's happening, but then these faggots feel the need to show their face and it just throws the entire atmosphere out of the window.
Ad reads mid-topic are a close contender too. Listening in to the details of some murder, then being advertised sandals is crazy.

I think it is! The first one or two episodes they didn't read the entire creepypasta, just talked about it, but once they realized people wanted to hear them read the whole story it got way better. It's like listening to your friends reading a creepypasta and sometimes making jokes or adding commentary. I've never watched MeatCanyon on his own before (I've seen a few of his animations though, they're standard newgrounds internet humor) but it's all pretty good. A big plus for me is you don't need to see the visuals to get the whole thing, since I listen to podcasts while I work. Maybe it's "cheating" to say my favorite is when they read Jeff The Killer, because the whole thing is humorous, but The Left Right Game and Borrasca were also really good episodes (it helps the pastas are really good too.)
