I sometimes wonder if the people who say these things could ever sit through the average nature documentary.
Two different things, obviously. I hate any animals getting hurt
unnecessarily and sadistically, by the humans who ostensibly care about them. Nature is lit, fam. It really do be like that.
The Station nightclub fire was a very informative watch (along with stadium crush vids), just because it made me hyperaware of my surroundings when out in a crowd.
Same goes for those poor souls that get eaten by escalators in China. Not that I really ever encounter an escalator in my daily life, they're mostly stairs nowadays (ba-dum tish).
I CANNOT look at the photos of coldnessinmyheart. I sliced a piece of my finger off once, the flesh was still on the blade, and I crumpled like a cumrag and threw up. So no, I am not "into" gore for the sake of gore.
I guess when you can't fathom being flattened in a brake press or thrown around like a ragdoll on a lathe, you don't really associate with what you're seeing... there's a dissociation between you and what's happening on the screen. Never thought too much into that, it's just a curiosity (like rubberneckers, I think we all have this morbid curiosity even just a little).
