Oh man I remember rotten.com

Nothing is shocking anymore

I still remember browsing WPD, pretty sure the part of me that gets shocked on the internet died a long time ago

I desensitized myself years ago by looking at the worst I could find. It was bad for my mental health so I stopped. Now I'm no longer desensitized and a lot of things affect me again.

I prefer it this way.
