View submission: Removing harassing subreddits

View parent comment

I'm lie one of the most curious people in the world and very desensitized to dead bodies (in pictures and videos). but the thought of people looking at them for enjoyment just makes me want to turn into a fire a thousand times hotter than the sun and destroy all that is wrong with the world.

Making fun of fat people and hating people because of what some of the individuals in that group do just makes you a stupid asshole. But taking any kind of pleasure and enjoyment of dead or abused peopel and animals is just beyond terrible. thought though of a friend or family member being in one of these subreddits is too much.

I've spent a good amount of time on some of those subreddits. It wasn't enjoyment. Some people probably comment as if they're enjoying it, acting tough. Maybe some do. For me I was curious. I live in the first world, middle class most of my life. I've never seen death, and as a human I'm fascinated by it. Birth, life, death, decomposition, the things that grow from your body and live on. There's no way for me to experience in a natural way like most humans throughout history have. I wasn't there to see my father die from his cancer, and he was cremated before I saw his body. I guess that's my reason, I can't speak for others. But I would guess it's just curiousity and some people putting on a tough act.
