What's with predditors and openly bragging about viewing child abuse videos in the way a teenager discussing Creepypasta in like 2009 would? "Guys... I saw a video...of child rape!!! Ooooo" even in other contexts, is it not disrespectful to talk about this material in this way? I mean, the first part of their comment is making it about how "it would cause real trauma for some people" and how it's imprinted into their brain. I'm not saying you're a coward for being disturbed by such videos, it's just sort of odd to spread such... whatever this is, in this manner
is it not disrespectful to talk about this material in this way?
That's exactly the idea: to either shock into not wanting to touch the conversation at all, or to browbeat anyone who calls bullshit with "it's disgusting you would ask for any proof of such a sensational claim" -- burden shifting, essentially. It's much the same logic behind inventing genocides every enemy of the U.S. is supposedly doing, then getting indignant and attacking anyone who asks for proof.
Seems like a humblebrag, "Yeah I totally burned acts of horrible cruelty into my brain, I'm basically a troop and you should all be very impressed. Other people would probably be traumatized but I can handle it."
