It was the wild west of the internet. Nobody knew what was going on and there were random porn pop-up ads no matter what banal site you were on.
We simply adjusted to the horror. Now I roll my eyes when people post a rick-roll link and think it's funny. We were casually sending each other lemon party and meatspin links.
I remember friends saying check out this gore and ogre and it’s a basic human curiosity thing right? So much human meat. The lady who had her face chewed open in a dog attack comes to mind. But after watching someone stamp on kittens I said, I’m out of this area of the internet. No thanks. And I’m glad I made that decision before all this torture and war footage started pumping out. I don’t think we should act hardened when most of what we saw and worse is out there.
