View submission: Removing harassing subreddits
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.

In the same boat. I don't find it remotely appealing, but it's nice to have my curiosity quenched for the next few years
