No gate keeping. Shit, they only took the subreddit full of ISIS beheadings and Chinese industrial accidents down when they did their IPO.
FFS, we all saw a woman get murdered 10 days ago from 7 different angles. If anyone genuinely thinks real time fascism is less fucked up than 2G1C, I invite them to get their head unfucked.
Except I don’t frequent those subreddits. Sometimes an unknown risky click just finds you through typically not gore-oriented means.
For example, the video of ol’ Charlie Spurts getting it to the neck was all over Twitter for the first couple of hours after it happened. Link from a news site goes to the video, which was impossible to know what to expect until you see it.
Plus, news sites show or lin to video of war deaths from Ukraine all the time. Video of illegal strikes on fishing boats where people are killed.
Maybe people don’t realize what they’re seeing, but it seems disturbingly common for actual videos of actual deaths to just be regular news stories.
