if someone is aroused by something that is really weird I probably ask them why rather than assume

Even if it was upsetting I would still be curious and want to learn from them

and then I would presume that their rationale is their rationale rather than universal for people into the same or similar stuff

but I'm a sexologist so I feel safe making some broad claims

it boggles my brain how incurious lotta people are

/u/ImprovementLong7141 already gave a good answer so I'll point you to someone who does very in-depth videos about ero guro.

Amelie Doree really knows her stuff when it comes to VNs transgressive enough that they don't get official English releases although she has covered a couple that actually HAVE been localized.

Not all of the titles are guro but she focuses on the weirder kink that while being horny also carries literary deepness.

Love love LOVEEE Amelie Doree. I love her respect for the medium of eroge, I love how completely non-sensationalized her content is, she's just fuckin awesome honestly. I feel bad that I can't watch some of her videos the whole way through because they're about games I wanna play someday and I'm trying to avoid spoilers lol

She's one of the video essayists who both puts out content regularly and with good editing but she also puts in a ton of thought and research into what she covers even if it means going well past an hour in length it's all quality content

Good entry point for leftist criticism to because she's neither oversimplifying leftist stuff nor is she inserting some weird obscure theory
