Like art or liveleak?
There might be fediverse instances that are and can be accessed from lemmy. Take a look at the blocked instance list and you'll probably find a few.
Haven't heard of any, but I imagine something like that would be on its own Lemmy instance that may end up getting blocked by tons of other instances.
If you're referring to watchpeopledie (?) that community migrated to their own image posting website after leaving Reddit.
In the book "the road" the protagonist gives the following advice to his young son. "once you put something in your head, it's there forever. You should think about that".
Meh, I'll decompose.
I've never understood why anyone would actively seek out that kind of content, but maybe I've just seen too much actual gore firsthand
it's a curiosity thing. i think there's a value to seeing it, although not regularly seeing it.
humans are capable of some horrifying brutality. we live in nice little perfect bubbles and we don't even realize it.
for example, it's very easy to catch yourself cheering for war in the name of idealism. but see a couple dozen war videos and you realize what it really means. i think your statement honestly holds true for any type of morbid type of content. for example Crime and Punishment- dissecting the psychology of a double homicide. you could say "why would you read 500 pages of dense literature about someone murdering two innocent people?"
it's because that's part of the human experience, for better or worse.
similar to interrogation videos on YouTube. Even poetry like Suicide in the Trenches
I knew a simple soldier boy
Who grinned at life in empty joy,
Slept soundly through the lonesome dark,
And whistled early with the lark.
In winter trenches, cowed and glum,
With crumps and lice and lack of rum,
He put a bullet through his brain.
No one spoke of him again.
You smug-faced crowds with kindling eye
Who cheer when soldier lads march by,
Sneak home and pray you'll never know
The hell where youth and laughter go.
I've seen no gore firsthand and I don't understand either.
I sincerely hope you never do, seeing gore does something to you that you can't take back and needs to be respected
While I hope not, I would not be surprised.
And no, I am not going to help you find them.
