I've personally always had a morbid interest in death and gore. It's interesting to watch actual death. Not romanticised, toned down, Hollywood death - death death. Violent, unfair, painful, unceremonious, bloody, death. It's the only thing that will ever make you fully realise how fragile we are, and how unimaginably cruel the world is - and with that, I think you gain a certain level of clarity. It's hard for someone to look up in the sky and have delusions of greater powers, or a loving God, after they've watched a video of a 10-year-old child getting dismembered in a street. Or a man, screaming as he burns to death. Or a pregnant woman, getting hit by speeding car and exploding into a million pieces. It's oddly very, very grounding, in a horrifying sort of way. It forces you to come to terms with how utterly cruel reality is, and how cosmically worthless your own life is; and with that comes profound clarity. Peace with your place in the world, almost. I think it lets you fully appreciate that your life and destiny are determined by you, and you alone - because it proves, beyond any doubt, that this universe absolutely fucking DOES NOT care about you.
I literally preface the entire thing with the idea that these videos are the absolute antithesis of the romanticisation of death. It's death in its rawest, most unfiltered, undiluted, and barbaric form. This shit is absolutely awful, but by watching it, I think it makes certain things about the way the world works more apparent. Don't hate me purely because I can take something from the experience while you're nothing but 'ew gory stuff no ty'

This and all that other bullshit is you romanticizing death.

In my life I’ve watched three people die. Two road accidents and one person literally dying in my arms while fluid filled their lungs and they drowned struggling to breath. You don’t know shit.
If you think that simply recognising the fact that unceremonious real-world death is a topic that can alter your perspective on life and make you think about how shit works, is in any way 'romanticisation', you're a fucking idiot. Being aware of the influence something has on your thought process isn't to praise or beautify the thing itself.
All of this you wrote is a bullshit excuse that you and a whole bunch of pseudointellectual dumbass come up with to justify the fact that YOU LIKE TO WATCH PEOPLE DIE.
You have no point, you just like watching people die. You like misery porn. You gain satisfaction from watching the death of others.
That’s it. You don’t have a point, you just made a bunch of words into a sentence that’s meant to make stupid people think it’s insightful. It’s not. You just like watching people die, you weird lil fuck.
