Like stuff that the general public doesn’t run across usually.
Check this out, unless you design avatars on Second Life you probably don’t see this “Buffalo Bill” shit.
:eek:
So, what am I missing? It doesn’t seem freaky to me and I don’t play SL.
Now I once worked in a bath house and saw things that most people never see.
So something that looks like you skinned a human being, along with parts like tongues laid out isn’t freaky? Aw right man if you say so.
I’m not calling for SL to be banned, its just a funny observation.
Cuterebra infestations
Maggot infestations
Anal gland abscesses
Intestines cut apart and sewn back together
Sorry grude, your link does not register on the scale.
It is a spectrum, and I chose a less graphic skin link, some have genitalia so detailed it looks like someone squatted on a scanner. Bit weird walking in the room and seeing it on the monitor.
Well that is how skins in games work. The game or program will wrap the skin to make it look more normal. The picture of the women on the right look pretty.
You should see some of the skins mods for the Sims2. Huge dicks & boobs and vaginas.
Yea I know, I tried to use an example that was not straight up hardcore nudity so as not to get people fired. Just sometimes when you’re not expecting it it allows you to view it outside its context.
grude, I put your link in a spoiler box because, as you say, it’s a little freaky to see such a thing on a monitor. We try to be conscious of the fact that some people read SD at work, so help us out and follow the two-click rule when posting dicey links.
Thanks.
On the internet, I have seen:
Foxes being skinned alive
A dog who had his muzzle blown off when someone put firecrackers in its mouth, taped it shut, and set them off. He wandered the streets for days before someone brought him in.
A man’s entire face split open when he landed face first on the edge of a dock from several stories up when he was trying to hit water instead. Literally smashed, split into halves… no face at all… and he was still breathing.
Guy with the lower half of his face blown off, blood dripping down, staring at the camera
Dog drop kicked off a bridge, and while yelping in pain on the cement road below, still wagging his tail
A living man with bone cancer in his skull which had eaten away most of it, leaving room for maggots to infest the brain
And the guy who got beheaded, live on camera, right after 9/11
Hang on, you’re involved with virtual worlds (as am I, though I prefer InWorldz) and THAT is what you consider obscure or freaky?
Either you’re a brand newbie or you’ve lived a very sheltered (second) life.
What is second life? Can I look it up safely on Wikipedia at work?
Are you describing Sims skins, or players?
I once saw a 3D video of a robot cutting a heart open.
Second Life is the most popular (though not IMO the best) example of the online experiences known as virtual worlds. They aren’t really games in the usual sense, but rather a form of virtual reality. Think MMORG, like WoW, but with no points*, no levels, typically no quests or combat, no goals other than what a person chooses for themself, and with all of the content (including the characters’ appearances) created by or uploaded by users.
The wikipedia article is safe for work, though much of the user created content is not.
*Though in some of these worlds, there is a currency and a very real economy.
Not quite in the same category…but back-stage at the Comic-Con masquerade, watching people get into their costumes. e.g., seeing the upper half of The Incredible Hulk…on an ordinary guy’s legs. Or when an alien from Alien has a party-horn curled up in his mouth.
(Or just a warrior woman in brass bikini…not in her brass bikini…)
Just curious why you seek stuff like that out to watch online. I avoid that stuff because I see enough of what horrific stuff people do to others and themselves IRL to really not want to encounter it on purpose. I suppose my line of work could be argued as seeking though I don’t see it that way.
At the very least, if it makes you feel better this particular film is fake.
Working in a photo lab:
Boss takes a roll of film from a police detective, and fails to warn me it’s of a gruesome traffic accident.
I go to package up the prints. Hm, what is that thing in the road next to that motorcycle? Oh, it’s a brain.
Not on nearly the same scale as everything else mentioned, but I always think it’s a little weird to go to the Chinese supermarket and see a foam tray of pig uteruses for sale. (They use the term “uteri”, but I prefer “uteruses”.)
There’s also the freaky cow with a porthole cut into its side that you sometimes see at agricultural colleges.
I’ve seen attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion.
