On a scale of 1 to Goatse, this is barely a Two Girls, One Cup.

Not even a lemon party
Not even a Tubgirl.
It's important to remember that goatse was a series of photos.
Let that stew a bit.
Think about how old those girls would be now. Probably grandmothers.
I found rotten.com when I was like 11 or 12, I was desensitised early to shit like this.
Early internet is why us millennials are so fucked in the head.
I bonded with my wife over things like rotten.com in college. Neither of us are into anything like that, Not Kink shaming just saying It was a cultural experience.
I take it back if you're into violence i am kink shaming that.
Same but tbh I quickly grew out of that shit and stopped seeking it out pretty early as well.
I don’t know who watched this as a kid. One of my first internet cartoons. Loved it!
It was quite revolutionizing if you ask me. While it often had to buffer a bit, it was amazing how smooth the animation, sound and music was using nothing but 56k modem at the time. And then there was the gore and mental scaring, but besides that, amazing!
Nah, we got started with REJECTED by Herzfeldt.
Don't tempt them, I've only just cleaned that mess up.
Oh, yea ummm
I'll leave the eyes gowron to protect the instance
Problems averted.

Ah man, the old IRC days were something else. Unchecked piracy, access to just about everything anyone could want, but then you also had unsolicited DMs with cp. And if you dropped your firewall for even a minute, you'd be cleaning up virus infections because Windows 95/98 practically invited people inside.
I literally watched a guy die on the shroomery's IRC.

And as was the style at the time, we figured he was fucking with us or assed out, and went on with our day.
"I told u I was hardcore"
Oh that's where that's from
oh yeah i'm totally desensitized.
it started with goatse then continued on through lemonparty and bluewaffle and it only got worse from there.
i have, and i'm not even really kidding about this, developed a religious fixation where if there's a video of someone dying i am spiritually required to watch because i can at least symbolically bear witness to what they've been through and ensure that at least vicariously they did not go through it alone ._.
I was so scared of seeing the image and was just like "meh". Then reverse image searched it to see the source and still felt like the stuff I was looking at wasn't real.
I actively sought out shit like that in those days, when I was a teenager. That morbid curiosity isn't there anymore.
People today think a reference to loss is massive psychological trauma... Unless you have after images in your head for the next few days, it doesn't even register.
I'm pretty sure the reactions to loss are meming on the reactions to the actually traumatic content of the older internet
What happened?
EDIT: If anyone is as lost as me here's some info: https://downonthestreet.eu/post/69636
I'm kinda scared to check my messages even though it's probably deleted and that I actually saw worse shit, which I won't talk about since it is a trigger to a lot of people
Yea you most likely did, fair warning, it might be deleted live but depending on your app/UI it might still show in the inbox. That's how I saw it, Boost had it still cached in the inbox
what happened? has it not hit me yet or did i just click "mark all as read" before the image could load?
The spammer really needs help!
Give me some low fi beats with a jump scare randomly in it
