(11,258 posts)And it's clear some of this war stuff is pornography for some.
Reminds me of people Mel Gibson's Passion of the Christ came out. "You have to see the suffering to really understand it!"
I mean, do I? I have an imagination. It was just pornography and some people were getting way too much of a charge out of it.
I'm the kind of person who read the watch people die subreddt and make my coffin. So none of it bothers me. But the breathless promotion of graphic descriptions and imagery all in the name of "being informed" feels like an excuse just to participate in the content.
I already feel how I feel about the Ukraine war (it's really bad). Most people here do. I don't think, "Look, a dead baby!" is moving the needle anywhere.
Unless it's from quarters who desire a wider war. In which case, you'd be seeing a lot more dead babies.
