      Yeah, I used 4Chan for a while as a kid. From what I’ve heard it’s more tame now, but I saw some stuff no person should ever see. I think it helped shape me as a person though, largely in a good way. It helped me form opinions about death and killing that I think are good.

      Personally, I think people should have to watch some combat footage before they vote. Your vote can send people to go kill other people. If you don’t know what that looks like, maybe your opinion on the matter shouldn’t be worth as much. Until you see someone dying (actually dying, not hollywood dying), I don’t think you should be allowed to make decisions about killing people.

        Extra benefit: identify the very small % of people who actually are extremely enthusiastic about it when watching that kind of shit and somehow as society try to deal better with those people…

      I didn’t need to, was walking around at my school when some other student was watching them out in the open on a computer in the hallway
