I've been wondering about this for awhile, and I guess this would be the place for an answer, since I don't really understand why you guys like guro.
sooo...
In what way do you find guro appealing? Is it a sexual thing, or something else? If it is sexual, do you masturbate to it, and what specific aspects of it make you the most sexually aroused?
I like everything that makes man tick.
i think its that people have a fascination with death and its processes, that or they just like to see something beautiful destroyed, there is a term for that but i can't remember it offhand.
Rescued discussion from GUROchan, regarding this topic:
http://orz.gurochan.net/152.html
Well, after reading the responses in the linked thread, I'm pretty intrigued. It seems like most peoples response to guro is something thats less sexual, and more aesthetic than anything. I was also surprised to read that a fair amount of females are interested in guro, and the bits about fantasizing being the victim. Very enlightening, although I think that this topic deserves a bit more introspection. Soooo... I'll ask one more thing that I think that linked thread should have asked.
When did you realize you first liked guro?
I think serial killer girls are cute. (hi hi nevada-tan!)
also for some reason I am sexually attracted sometimes to personal torture, but I think that's just a regular BDSM fetish that is badly expressed in some guro pictures
Dunno, I just started liking my porn violenter and violenter. Defloweration, bruises, broken bones. Even now my taste for guro more sides with more concievable acts of violence(as opposed to the bizarre).
Oddly though I have never masturbated to it, and after looking at it I tend to move on to something softer. I think it's an aggression vent, mostly. 18 maybe? around 3 years ago.
Hmm...
I never liked the blood and guts stuff.
I think I liked the pics of girls shitting, because i'm vouyeristic and never saw that stuff when I wanted to.
theres just something about the shock value of it all.\ that i enjoy and keeps me coming back to these chans. but im not even remotly intrested in the hetai with shit in it. there is no shock for me, it's just kinda "whatever"...
I like both drawn gore and scat guro, cant stand real gore though. Real scat porn only if it's solid (ie non-liquid and non-smearing) shit.
As to why, I dont really know for sure.
Guess I developed some really fucked up fetishes due to sexual and physical abuse.
When im frustrated, looking at drawn jp gore pics or listening to some raw death metal/grindcore songs calmes me down.
I really hate the fact that I like guro/futa and hentai in general though. I wish I were fuckin normal.
I have a bit of a thing for fairly extreme BDSM, wouldn't call it a fetish. The stuff I like the most is one man torturing/tormenting/attacking another guy in a sexual fashion. Haven't found a whole heap of it here, but I'll probably keep coming back to check.
I've only really known about guro for the last 8 months or so, but even before I knew there was a name for it, or that there even other people who liked this kind of stuff, I've fantasized about it for years.
I only like violent guro, no scat for me!
I'm female, and I love guro. I am straight and I like guro done on males. Female guro is okay, but what really gets me going is male guro.
It's something just... so sexy about blood spilling and the intricate body of the machine coming apart. I DO NOT like real life guro. I ONLY like art guro.
Yes, seeing a drawn picture of a wounded individual makes me "hot". No, it is not a revenge thing against males or female. No, I would NEVER hurt an animal. Yes, I have seen real life bodies. I am NOT a necrophiliac, I just like a good, solid, loving beating/cutting/whipping between friends. There's something delicious about pain that you just can't get with plain ol' pleasure.
Am I fucked up? Yes. Always have been.
You people are all very, very sick.
<b>lolocaust:</b> Damn straight.
i do it to harden my mind against images of this type
lolocaust - I have been skool'd.
I like poop.
I'd like to repeat the notion that some of you people are CREEPS!
I'm not a creep. I am a pretty nice and normal, next-door kinda guy.
I never thought about it. At first, I actually hated guro. Then, at some point, I just saw an image that made me smile. Tsepesi art, if my memory serves me well. What was special about it? Sure, she was naked. That's not very exciting, as naked people is something that is fairly common. More, she was crying, and her mouth was twisted around a bit, making it look really painful. Why she was crying - her arm had been severed from her body, just by her shoulder.
I think I sat for five minutes straight watching the same picture, and then decided I'd start frequenting this place.
Was it a turn-on? No. I don't think it will ever be, really.
It was just fascinating. I also discovered that scat sucks. Any other bodily fluids that were originally meant for being inside your body than blood, eventually brainfluids are boring. Not interesting at all. I don't hate it, I just don't see the point of it.
Dead, half-dead, dying people, or just people being ripped more or less gently apart appeals to me, because it makes me happy. Or whatever this feeling is. And no, it doesn't really only count for drawn images.
I walked past a metal statue (or whatever, they call it "art" ...) that was shaped like a series of sharp, pointed fins with the thinner part pointing straight up (a shape like this, except more sloped: /\) getting larger and larger. What do I do? I imagine what would happen if my classmates would happen to drop from a large height down on one of them. At different speeds, angles, etc.
Not the only example, but you get the clue, no? Also, I guess I have some thing about sharp edges and impaling, come to think of it.
Yes, I'm fucked up, but a nice guy otherwise.
So... Finishing words, gurochan is just what I need in times of... boredom? Even browsing to my enjoyment at school from time to time, makes me really popular with everyone.
And before you ask, I have friends.
Now, congratulate me with my second post on gurochan.net.
As the user who started this thread I have to say.... Gurochan has really grown on me. I've found some amazingly beautiful pieces of nihilistic art that would never have been posted on 4chan, and it's really opened my eyes to what kind of fascinating stuff is out there. I don't really know how to explain it... its not sexual in any way, but there's definately an aesthetic appeal to what has been posted here... Also, there are some pictures on here that just straight up make me laugh.
Never thought I would actually end up liking guro, though.
i am attracted to guro because i am obsessed with the idea of perfection/beauty/purity being corrupted, ruined and violated...
I like the idea.
It gives me the hope wach time I see a guro pic that somewhere, out there.. there is one less idiot taking up resources in the world.
i was just wondering if girls are interested (for whatever reasons) in guro, too. not boy guro, but normal guro like in /g/
"normal guro"? what makes girl guro more "normal" than boy guro?
(okay okay, you probably just meant that it's more common...)
anyway, yes, I like both.
yeah, i meant common ^^ not being a native english speaker
okay, another question:
is it seen as an offense towards females that in common guro, girls are harmed? damn, i know this is bad english, sorry anyways
your english ant bad, most people suck. anyways guys are genualy stronger, and girls are genually weaker, so it is normal for girls to grit hurt myr instead of guys.
>33
best answer ever
in thirty years, this will be the "Alidan Defense" in murder trials. "It's nacheral-like, yer 'onna. Ole there in Dahwin."
Killing, hurting, blood, flesh.
i love them. it does not effect me sexually, it gives me more like cold shivers and admiring...
<3
As a girl that likes guro... well, I think it's part train wreck fascination ("like, ew!"), and part masochism taken to its most extreme. As mysogynistic and frightening as some of this stuff can be, it's fascinating as well.
...and hey, it takes art skills to draw high-quality blood and guts. :D
Apart from the sadistic value of it, I see guro as a chance to safely increase my resistance to violence and gore, as a form of self-improvement. So far, it's worked wonderfully. I don't seem to be disturbed or frightened by these things anymore, in guro or otherwise. It makes you more insensitive over time, whether you like it or not. Then again, being a guro fan probably means you're an extreme sadist already. Am I wrong?
>>37 I see guro as a chance to safely increase my resistance to violence and gore
Yeah, gurochan is great for that if you're not yet ready for /b/...
I like guro because it's fascinating. Sort of like looking over an open cadaver at a science exhibit. Hahaha. Guro tends to be a lot more exciting and colourful than normal hentai, which is sort of boring.
For me perhaps... it is because I relate death with sleeping and blood with roses... to forever be sleeping... entangled in roses... a grotesque body, but deeper it is merely a sleeping person, trying to escape... I think it's seeing that... it doesn't get me off... but it just amazes me... and makes me hope that the tortured are at last peacefully away and not knowing what is happening...
~Sayoko~
P.s: I don't know about you guys... but the girls I know who like guro, mostly like it for poetic reasons... like me!
One more note... I actually find it offending to watch real pictures of guro... To see someone so disfigured makes me mad... so I mostly like the cartoon guro and the digital guro...
Uhh... Okk... I'm leaving a lot of sidenotes... anyways... I do also say that I hate it whenever people take pictures of themselves mutilating dead bodies... just what are they trying to prove? "I'm a sick fuck! Isn't that great? Checkout this half-woodchipped face!" I think it promotes violence... O.o and it's downright disgusting... Death in itself is peaceful... but you don't have to torment the soul by mutilating their past body...
My english sucks, i'm not American
The reason because i like guro is: revenge.
I start to like guro after i get tired of be reejected by chicks (more 50 times). Shit! Its hard to get a girlfriend when you are not handsome. Even the most ugly girl get boys, why the fuck i can't get some girl, even a ugly one? Then one night i dream with lust murder (and the dream has repeated many times), but hit is a crime,so i found my fantasies on the internet.
Its about makin pain on girls
I'll tell you what makes me mad: People who misuse the term "guro", referring to real gore or violent cartoons. Guro is hentai anime only. Yeah, I'm pretty uptight on my terminology. No offense meant, of course.
"Grotesque" means anime only? News to me.
2chan's guro boards are labelled "Guro" and "2D Guro" ("2D" meaning "anime"). You were saying?
I apologize. I thought the term "guro" refers only to the anime fetish of this board. I'm just sick of people abusing terminology(such as manga=comic). But, I guess I was the one doing the abusing this time. Well, I know better now.
Not sure I want to know but... what does DQN stand for?
Personally for me, it is a sexual thing. I do masturbate to it, and I particularly find breast torture very arousing. Specifically, I like seeing drawings of women having their breasts either cut up or chopped off.
I know that this probably makes me sick or whatever, and it's not something I'm proud of, but I don't go in for this stuff in real life, and I'm really not a violent guy.Guess I'll chime in on this too. For the longest time I didn't get why people would like Guro, this before I started looking through the board out of curiosity. Then, after looking through, it kinda clicked as to why somepeople would, cause it'd be for the same reason as me. I've got a rather dominant nature, and through that a strong like for BDSM material, and Guro qualifies into that catagorey.
As others have stated though, it's only the Hentai I like. Hell, I get sick at the sight of real blood...
For me, guro is a legal alternative to my real desire: Stomping with army boots on the heads of kittens and toddlers!
And jews.

Congratulations, you just won the go home award for understanding absolutely nothing.
I think the most important thing to realize is that while something may not be your slice of cake sexually, someone will like it because it just ignites that spark of arousal in them. It's nothing to really be ashamed of, everyone is just different sexually in their tastes and habits.
If you want to get into the why or how, well I'll be happy when someone figures it out as well because you aren't going to find a definate answer anywhere.
Like a wise man once said, "its a secret to everybody".
I look at guro because I don't go to church every sunday, and because I don't feel increadibly insecure, scared and guilty every time something slightly taboo and offensive causes me cognitive dissonance.
Also I think guro is very pretty, and I am a person who likes pretty things. To me, the best kind of guro is the guro that isn't overtly sexualized, and takes an artistic approach rather than something like Tsepesi or Uziga, who are almost outright sexgore hounds -- not to say that those don't have an appeal to me, but not as great as works by say... Lowlife. Highly ironic scenes are also increadibly amusing to me.
As well, I find it kind of funny that alot of the people I show guro to can handle things like dickgirls, and even some of the really /d/ stuff, but the minute you show them guro... they get freaked out by it. To alot of them, it's even worse than lolicon. Go figure.
Not really sexual for me, but definitely a morbid fascination.
Biology at every level is a strange headfuck; even READING the most non-gory biology texts gives me the Fear, but a profound respect for where I came from and what makes me... me. The Krebs Cycle amazes me in its infinite combination of elegance and complexity, improbable yet true for every life form on Earth. Guro, specifically the kind seen in Gore and Freakshow (ehh... not so much scat... poo is for comedy, in my opinion), is how artists interpret the messy details of human biology, and I'm amazed at the detail some of them put into it, even if the subject is in less than innocent situations. I could be run over by a truck any day and to think, all that I am made of could get splattered on the road -- parts and organs of me, and I in turn came from millions of years of evolution from bacteria to fish to reptile to mammal to entire millenia of human generations, gone.
Many guro artists seem to be in it for cheap thrills, but some of them genuinely have this deep respect for biology enough to dissect it on paper for us to see. Sound strange? Perhaps. As an art form, it is daring and explorational, and as art, that's enough of a positive merit in its own right.
Guro isn't sexual for me at all.
I like to feel pain, I like to see pain inflicted on others.
I can't bring myself to "die" when i inflict pain on myself, I look at guro as an escape from life. I sometimes wish i was the person dying in the art. I want to feel the most extreme pain, and then dissapear. I guess..
Odd how everyone says "not sexual". To me it's definitely sexual. It's the merge-point-at-infinity of sado and maso because it's both cruel and painful to see. (Therefore it resonates with my own self-destructive side.) It's sex and intimacy stripped of kindness, altruism, or consent: less dilute, so more intense. Guro says "why limit your sex to only those things your partner can survive?" and "dead can be pretty too".
its "natural" to feel pleasure with human degradation...
I admit that for me it's a satisfaction of some very misogynistic part of my personality. It's not entirely sexual, although there is an element of eros to it. It's really about enjoying a visualization of some of my dakerst thoughts and desires. That said, I really am a nice guy!
It's just fun!
Most of it makes me smile ^_^
0% of lust tho...
Yeah it makes smile too, Guro is funny.
I wish I could give a decent answer here. Sexually arousing... not quite. Some of these images hurt my mind. Some of it makes a little voice inside of me scream. Some of it gives me this funny feeling inside my head, like a release. Some of it just makes me ill. Some of it makes me scream. Some of it drives me to want to hurt myself. Some of it makes me cry. I don't masturbate to it. It doesn't stimulate me sexually at all, in fact. I’m just addicted to the emotions it creates in me. That feeling… psychological masochism. It isn't beautiful or pleasing or funny. It's ugly. Deliciously ugly. So ugly, it's wonderful. So very ugly... just like all of us.
Could I actually do this to another person? I'm not sure. Could I become aroused by it? Doubtful. Could I relieve my sexual pressures with the memory of another human being screaming and bleeding, crippled, if not dead, forevermore all because of me? No. I could not. But there are those who could. And, even though for them it is sexual, we are the same. We both fill our heads with the same profanity. They just deal with it differently.
There's no “normal” reason for any of us to be here. We are all defective for this. The man before me is defective, those ahead of me are defective, I am defective. But what does that matter? Our defects are our own problems. Should they get out of hand, I'm certain someone will… humble us; probably with a rain of bullets or a few good stabs to the vital organs. We are the sickest of the sick. The lowest of the low. Paint a nice picture over it with words like "pretty, humorous, or natural" until your face turns blue, for all I care. We are the sickness. Get used to it.
We all deserve to be slaughtered in the ways we so covet. We deserve it more than those who actually kill, because of our modus operandi. We want blood. We want gore. We want torture and nightmares; dreamscapes of crimson and horror and fear. And we are not even strong enough in our convictions to seek these ends ourselves. But, why should we, right? It's wrong to kill. It's wrong to take the life of another... but we see nothing wrong with feeding off the aftermath of evil. We are all wretched parasites. But, we have our place. And that is here. Among other parasites.
Now, if the boy who wonders so much is reading this, here is my suggestion to you; stay away. Keep out of this, because you don't belong. Most of this world doesn't belong. Most of this world scarcely knows that such aberrant monstrosities exist. Stay away from the dark and depraved if you cannot find your place in it. Even if you can, I would still suggest you stay away. There is nothing here for normalcy’s children. There is nothing here for you. These are things you cannot be made to understand. You must understand them to begin with. And you do not. So turn back, and keep away. Most of us tend to frown upon people questioning their pleasures. I know I do…
Best post ever!!! O_o yah we all heere are sickest people..
What you have written is interesting, but I think that maybe you think too much about it. I don't think we're as horrible as you say. Maybe not natural, but then who is? Society in general feeds off of misery, whether it be in the form of guro, or of real violence, looked at on the news or read in a tabloid or newspaper or magazine or true-crime novel. Really, where as I don't think that an obsession with guro is necessarily "healthy," or "natural," it's certainly not anywhere near unusual.
I myself get sexual stimulation from some of the violent guro. It's the way I've been wired, for better or worse. And, though I have dwelled too much on this fact at times, I also know that the feelings I have towards myself for this are something I can take from horrible and make into something wonderful. They give me passion for my art or writing, or any of my other interests at times, and in a way that's comforting. Because, if I didn't have these problems, I don't think I'd be nearly as interesting or as fueled as I am today.
Anyway, that's just my 2 cents on the issue.
I don't masturbate to guro but I'm not going to say it's completely without sexual appeal to me. I don't masturbate to anime/manga in general. I used to but that was when I was 15, 16 years old. Nowadays I only get off to real porn and pretty "normal" stuff, too. I love to watch anal sex and blowjobs but nothing violent. I'm not into extreme bondage videos or anything of that sort. Maybe it'd hit too close to home to see violent fantasies played out with real people. As sick as guro mangas may be, they're about as far removed from reality as you can get. The only thing further removed would be a novel like the 120 DAYS OF SODOM or other books by the Marquis de Sade.
I have started to become fascinated and even obsessed with horror novels and films when I was about 12 years old. It's interesting because in kindergarten and grade school I used to be the total opposite. I loved to be outside, to explore, to learn everything about plants, animals ... I was interested in all aspects of nature and life. I wanted to become a scientist one day. But then something changed within me. I attribute this to two events in my life occuring almost simultaneously. One was of course the onset of puberty. The other were some pretty serious problems in my family. My mother had her first serious psychotic episode and was diagnosed with schizophrenia. Some pretty ugly things happened before and after she was diagnosed. In short, any kind of optimism I may have had up until then time was crushed. I was forced to take a crash course in just how messed up life can get. And I think that horror was a way for me to deal with these real life horrors. Because you can always shut a book or turn off the TV when fictional horror becomes to much for you take. But you can't get away from a severely dysfuncional family so easily. So, in a way, horror fiction became an escape for me, an antidote if you will to help me deal with a frightening reality.
I have never (been able to) retur(ed) to being the healty, normal person I was as a kid. I see guro as just another form of horror. It's now been about 3 years since I first discovered this subgenre through a Waita Uziga torrent that totally blew my mind. I've always been on the lookout for horror that can shock and truely disturb me. Uziga does that for me. Yun Hayami as well. Some of Maruo's stuff too. I think in a way it is comparable to cutting yourself. I used to do that and it was always about being able to feel something because I had become so numb. Extreme horror and guro does the same thing, though on a psychological and not a physical level. If a particular story or image is able to cut through my desensitized numbness and make me feel shock, despair, compassion even, I get a strange kind of pleasure out of it. Is that psychologically healthy behaviour? Definitely not. In fact, much like cutting yourself (or burning yourself with cigarettes which I was also into) it fits into the profile of a psychological disorder called "Borderline Syndrome" which I have actually been diagnosed with because of the self-mutiliation thing.
All of the above is very subjective, very personal. It's true for me and maybe a few other people who enjoy guro but not necessarily for each and everyone of them. I don't think everyone who reads guro mangas is necessarily psychologically sick. The intense experience of being disturbed and horrified can be a form of cathartic release. It's what people go to see horror movies for. It's a thrill-ride and after it's over you walk out of the theater feeling relief and satisfaction.
Something that always bothers me is how some guro-haters will claim that the artists who draw "this shit" have to be violent or even murderous psychopaths in real life. Art has always been mainly about two things: sex and death. The ancient Greeks called it "eros" and "thanatos". Guro simply takes it to the ultimate level. It's a valid form of artistic expression and in fact most people who can deal with their demons through art are the most peaceful, nice, harmless people in real life. It's those who cannot express themselves, who repress their destructive emotions, who will eventually become dangerous to others.
To tell the truth, I'm not turned on by extreme guro. It's simple things, like someone laying there, blank eyes, and blood pouring out of where their arm was... That's what I'm more attracted to. I suppose me looking at extreme gore was because of my frustration. It's a way to NOT kill someone for me, so instead I draw or look at someone who was drawn being mamed.
I really wasn't attracted to guro at all a year ago. I think I started liking guro shortly before liking yaoi. Then, I pretty much got bored with the soft, wrist cut pictures, and moved onto the ones like squicking.
What makes me laugh, is when people say, "Oh, I like blood and gore," and I whip out a few pictures with gore only. The reaction is priceless.
For me, it's mostly like for Trance and Caterpillar.
I'm some kind of a masochist, but I don't want to hurt myself. Seeing other people suffer.. well, there's just something in it. It looks so painful that it keeps me from hurting myself and others.
Actually I could tell a small story about myself and the way I found out about guro.
Once upon a time I was ready to kill myself. Everything went wrong, nothing interested me, I had no one to talk to or anything. I already had rope, I decided to strange myself and make it look like a murder - I hated this one girl from my class so much that I wanted to make her suffer. I had everything ready, but before killing myself I wanted to watch some pictures of dead people and wonder how I would look as dead - and then I found it. Pictures of strangled anime girls, dead anime girls, bleeding anime girls (yeah, just girls, sadly) - guro. Then something hit me. Yes, it was the thing called "interest". I always loved (and still love) detective stuff and murders, so slowly I started to think about all these murdering pictures as cases that detectives are trying to solve. I decided to try living my life at its fullest - watching dead people from day to day, as my hobby as my job (I'm a murder investigator now).
I don't get any sexual pleasure from watching these pictures, it just keeps me sane. Maybe I'm just insane enough to enjoy this as a medicine, who knows.
I like gore/vore aas well as snuff/rape/bdsm
I think that for many men (such as myself) it is a form of domination. Dominating a female is a natural instict for the male of any species. BDSM/RAPE/SNUFF/GORE/VORE etc are simply EXTREME forms of domination.
ps: (Just don't do it in real life, plz.)
ps: (Also, there are many girls into guro, also.)
Oh, please. These are fantasies, not real life. Any sick animal who does these atrocious things to real, living creatures or humans needs to be put out of its misery.
But I'm a 20 year old female who finds that seeing pictures of death makes my heart beat faster, my salivary glands kick in and adrenaline rush through my veins. It's arousing, but not sexually arousing. It's the normal reaction to seeing blood or violence, and I like being aroused.
I can't speak for the rest of you here, but I'm not some monster that he made us out of be. Violence is natural to human beings. Ever notice how traffic slows down around an accident? You think that has nothing to do with this? This is my traffic accident, asshole, only MY traffic accident doesn't involve REAL people being hurt or crippled in REAL ways. This is no different from people watching Kill Bill. Kill ill is guro. It's not real, it's hilarious and very brutal. People gettign arms, legs, heads chopped off and blood spraying. Are you calling the entire populace sick monsters now? Get off your high horse.
I can own up to the fact that I dig imaginary traffic accidents because it makes my heart beat faster. This doesn't make me a monster and it doesn't make me "better" than anyone else. I've just reacted to my animal side in a different way than many people who choose to repress and ignore it.
So fuck you and your judgemental blanket-statements. Go mistake a rifle for your father's penis and stick it straight down your throat.
Male dominating the female is natural for the male of any species? WTF are you talking about? What species? Where?
I've never heard of such a species where it's "natural" for one sex to dominate the other. If you haven't noticed, in "nature" the male and the female are equal. Neither is disposable and both work together--and if not, then both are equally capable of survival.
In the last few thousand years humans have shifted from more equal views of sex to a male centred view. This happens when hunter-gatherers convert to agricultural societies, and we can see the return to balance in informational societies. The only reason you think it's "natural" for males to dominate females is because you've probably had some conservative upbrining.
Try to get rid of the brainwashing, please.

Dru ftw!
Don't you just love it when you say something and people totally ignore it so they can bitch at you because they're offended? I know I sure do.
I enjoy Guro sexually, and also for the fascination factor. I get turned on (and masturbate to) the guro that deals with the female getting interpenetrated by some object. The "splatter" ones are more for fascination - I look at the creativity of the artists, and wonder "damn, that looks painful indeed", and wonder how some of them think of their ideas.
As for the sexual element - I'm married and I never have done anything outside of normal. I guess guro is that escape. I dunno, I have always been turned on by guro to a degree (movies where the woman gets stabbed or shot, emits a very sexual "uurrgghh" and then bleeds profusely - I'm sorry that gets the boner going). Reading up on this sort of thing has led me to believe that its quite normal for humans to have this reaction, actually. The knife/bullet/whatever is a symbol of the penis, the blood is a symbol of sexual release. Its how you HANDLE yourself and these feelings that determine whether you are an animal or a human...
Personally, I would never, ever hurt anyone in the manner shown in these images (exception being that if the woman really wanted it, I might consider using her breasts as a pincushion LOL - but I'm certainly not going to force that on anyone ) on any living thing. But jacking off to drawings, that's fine in my book.
everything comes in shades. few images will spark the same emotion found among other depictions, and often the feeling is not the same through multiple viewings.
the image of a woman in the nude with no other indication as to guro "qualifications" than bloody tears flowing from closed sockets hidden behind glasses can not easily be lumped together with, say, the vomit filled dickgirls of kotoe, or suitcasegirl.
going to a museum to see cross sections of preserved cadavers or painstakingly displayed nervous systems is equally guro. it can be marked up to morbid curiosity or whatever point you might wish to make, though it also serves a purpose. otherwise current medical techniques would have never come about.
the train of thought that might lead people to a place such as this might also be the same string that permits an individual to operate successfully, negating amputation or an untimely death.
why do some images inspire sexual tension in some while revulsion in others? dunno. i figure it doesn't really matter.
granted the same mentality that saves lives could also be the mark of a serial killer, with a push in the right <or wrong> direction.
lack of motivation and apathy with a good dose of tedius and repetitive tasks serve to fill and occupy time. publicly broadcasted television is garbage designed to conform and cotroll the populis. the internet can be as brain deadening as tv, but due to the fact that it isn't as easily policed, more divergent forms of entertainment and subculture surface as people of like minds group
i won't say anything about normalicy or injustice or whatever as these terms are bounded around with disregard and words simply can not convey the emotions felt through a lifetime.
once stated: a picture is worth a thousand words
from fantastic soundscapes to "disturbed" imagery, everything present is nothing more than expression, something to be ingested and interpreted as each individual sees fit. whether cast aside or taken to heart it's their prerogative.
as long as it doesn't lead to an immediate death or permanent physical mutilation without concent, what does anything matter? i'm not sitting here brainwashing the youth of society, that's the goal of public education, parents, and religion.
i might have gotten a little sidetracked here, demo, i like guro
otherwise i wouldn't be here

You're funny. Here's my point, which will burst that little sugar-coated bubble you call your world.
In the real world, a sex will dominate over another. Which sex depends on the species. For example, we have the betta fish. When they mate, they produce about 700 a spawn. If the female refuses to mate, the male kills her. In mammal species, such as wolves, it is the male who are stronger, and lead the pack.
But take spiders, for example. The female are larger than the male. In most cases, the female will kill(or even eat) the male after they mate.
So... what are equal, may I ask?
Well i just find guro as another entertaining feature of human insanity...everything makes you insensitive these days anyway....mostly i feel people more mechanical than human with every new day that passes on.....Well i guess people can say that guro for an instance it's just another form of comercialism, just entertainment, another way of hentai doujin,,, etc.....and some shit like that....you see i found it pretty interesting because of the fact of ridicously absurd and crazed situations that involve dismemberment, mutilation, gore, blood, torture, necrophilia, and the fact of some of the manga authors actually being proud of their so called "works",,,,for instance waita,,,he really puts some crazy shit in there,,, as script for characters...to the point that makes you laugh....even if it looks so fucked up you still guess if it could be "real" or actually become part of the "real life" ( maybe that's the reason why people get so attracted to it,, or find it interesting ), i also find that suehiro maruo...has some pretty deep black humor going on his stories....jajajajaj.....and shit like that...it just makes you wonder the truth behind that kind of stuff ( a hidden purpose?, result of a mental disorder?, just plain sick fun?...they're trying to make a living of it?, jajajaj) who cares,,, i don't buy their stuff anyway.....but what i really question myself is,,, the psychology of the "artist".....how do these people actually process their mental functions? how does their mind assimilates everything? :-D well i guess they could say,,,Death smiles on us all, all we can do is smile back. :-D . Yah so guro it's just another way of entertainment ( people can see it as arousing,,pleasing,,etc...whichever way they choose )...if it's not real what harm is actually being made? to people's minds? CMON...i guess all of us have been through this shit already...then again can't blame me for people´s susceptibility....it's the same shit as blaming VIDEOGAMES....as a excuse for stupidity, ignorance, and irresponsability...I PERFECTLY KNOW WHAT IS RIGHT IN THIS WORLD....AND WHAT IS WRONG....WHAT IS SEEN AS "CORRECT" WHAT IS SEEN AS "INCORRECT",,,"WHAT PEOPLE EXPECT FROM YOU" AND "WHAT THEY NOT",,,ETC.....just because we live in a fuckin god damned society bounded by rules,,,,,,BLAH BLAH BLHA BLAH. HEY I FIND EVIL ATTRACTIVE.... BUT I KNOW ITS WRONG SO I MUST CHOOSE WHATS BETTER FOR ME RIGHT? I JUST KNOW THAT KILLING SOME SON OF A BITCH WON'T GET ME ANYWHERE,,,UNLESS,,,SOME CRAZY HYPOTHETICAL SITUATION...BUT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT APPARENTLY "NORMAL AND COMMON" CIVILIANS IN HERE LOL jajajajjaaj......yeah you know all that kind of shit.... so those people that are first pointing fingers why BOTHERING SEEING GURO AS A THREAT, SOMETHING SICK...ETC...I KNOW YOU.... AND YOU ALL HAVE YOUR OWN FUCKIN EVIL LITTLE TWISTED MIND...ROTTING PART OF YOUR SOUL...YOU ALL ARE BORN WITH EVIL AND GOOD NATURE...( Both of them are appealing )ITS AS ABSURD AS SOMEONE CALLING HIMSELF THE "INCORRUPTIBLE ONE" As far as humans go,,,, they're the most vulnerable of all species i know....And silly too...:-D...IT ALL COMES TO AN END.."SOCIETY" ITSELF is the one that has the final judgement in "this life"... wether we like it or not ( yeah they judge,,,, as all of us do ) eventually we come to the point of comparing us with god....and spoof.....jajajajaj...and well yeah we're not much different from animals...you see the more you know... the more you'll feel the pressure....the more difficult life...the more people will expect from you.... the more complicated you'll make things.....the more unhappy you'll finally become....jejejejejeejje....man i gotta get my pills....BUT YEAH.... JUST ENJOY GURO...IT'S NOT LIKE WE'RE DROPPING THE BOMBS ANYWAY....OR IS IT? AAAAH BUT YES...JUST IMAGINING THAT YOU'RE MAKING THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN LIFE AND DEATH LOOKS PRETTY APPEALING DOESN'T IT? I'M PLAYING WITH LIVES HERE...I PLAY WITH THEM...DECIDE THEIR ENDS.... jjajajajaj....=======>
Sorry for some mispellings and crap....NAA ( Not An American )
