I didn’t cry about Aaron Bushnell until I listened to the audio while watching a black screen. Left to my own imagination it struck me more.

As a trauma therapist I avoid over exposure to horror, death, etc in my media. I didn’t realize until now how much this helps me feel with my patients

“How are we supposed to revolt if we’re only outraged in 30 second intervals” Had to soak that in. Thank you for your words.

I WAS THINKING ABOUT THAT!!! How movies had gotten so USELESSLY graphic, where t0rtyre scenes last for so long… it pacified our gut reaction to those scenes!

Yes! Empathy being sedated is something I’ve noticed a lot in myself.

I do dopamine breaks a few times a day when I find myself STUCK on my phone and I lay in complete silence and it’s a game changer for my nervous system!🤍

I was just having this conversation with my mom and sister. We’re so desensitized and it’s terrifying. Seems like the collective feels NOTHING

And the way people react when you tell them you don’t watch horror movies. They’ve gotten so gory over time and it’s messing people up! That’s why 1/

as an artist, i think there is no limit in art. it's concerning that people affiliate real life events to those in film or other media to me. i love dark films, i love horror films, but i sob my eyes

then again human beings have always found death or some form of it ss entertainment. i think that social media has just made it easier for us to be spectators on the outside rather than active ps.

I had unrestricted access to the internet for my entire childhood and feared it had totally desensitized me. I actively tried to avoid the videos of Aaron Bushnell but people use the audio no warning.

Empath here. I’m mentally curled up in the fetal position with everything going on. But still going thru the motions because I feel like I have to.

THANK YOU! I have adhd, and it’s mind boggling to me how short the average attention span has become. It’s something I have to actively work on, and it feels like so many people are purposely shorting

I've been trying to find a way to conceptualize just WHY I can't handle these videos while my peers can. I was incredibly sheltered from the media while those around me have had access to it since it-

Ty for this. I still cry every day but I noticed a shift toward numbness/neutrality a few weeks ago & had to question myself. Recognizing desensitization is happening is hard but I didn't think..(1)

i realized this. now when I see a video/news/etc about something horrific I stop scrolling to do further research. because I know that next funny reel was put there to distract.
