Recently saw an old video of Adam Lanza (school shooter) playing dance dance revolution really well. I had seen it forever ago but recently stumbled on it again. Without context it’s just some skinny kid crushing it at DDR. But, with hindsight its one of the most uncomfortable videos to watch I can think of. So, media of any kind that isn’t inherently a problem but with additional context becomes freaky.
The Wizard of Oz, because of what the actors, especially Judy Garland, went through.
The Shining, because of how Kubrick treated Shelley Duvall.
Powder and Jeepers Creepers, because of how Victor Salva emphatically put his own predilections into his work.
Alter your perspective a bit. That video shows the duality of the human condition. Everybody has multiple sides. Wife beaters can be wonderful to their dogs, or excellent mentors at work. We are all capable of incredible charity and cruelty at the same time.
Look at it not as a creepy video of someone that did something wrong, but instead a sad video showing the lost human potential that was corrupted by some force in his life.Yes… that’s exactly why it makes me so uncomfortable.
Two female, a fecal matter, and a large mug
Not sure you’re understanding the question unless your definition of innocuous is wildly different then mine.
Well, the original name is “Two Girls One Cup”
We know but like that wasn’t innocent or anything at first watch. You can’t see it, think its fine/normal/cute/whatever and then find out more information and be kinda disgusted.
Think like seeing Hitlers paintings and thinking they’re pretty, then finding out who made them.
