I have to admit there's information I shield myself from as well.
I don't like watching real people die on video. I worry about getting desensitized/dehumanized.
I don't want to see 2g1c either. (by extension, most of the grungier parts of the intertubes.)
I don't want to know (from experience) what heroin feels like.
I do know people who believe in total desensitization -- they think that the reflex to shudder or gag is something you have to burn out of yourself. I don't think I want that for myself, though.
You know, those shock videos are not as bad as they look. 2g1c is usually thought to be something in the line of chocolate; and the infamous Tubgirl is known to be just orange juice.
(Which makes sense; eating feces is a good way to get sick.)
