The Ultimate NSFL Iceberg
The Gore God’s Cut
Another look into the most disturbing media in our world this time descending by order of obscurity like traditional icebergs, and NO easing into the content.
No recycled scripts or media, all new narration with consistent flow and audio. The bottom of this iceberg will shake even the most seasoned Gore Hound…

The disabled transgender entertainer behind the infamous "obey the walrus" video, and a message to the "creepy/disturbing" side of youtube
Tumblr media
Sandra Crisp (aka The Goddess Bunny) was a Disabled Transgender entertainer, actor, and model. Footage of Crisp tap-dancing, originally recorded around 1987, was featured in viral shock video "obedece a la morsca", which distorted her condition in a patronizing and fear-mongering video. Crisp had polio as an infant and was subject to the malpractice of multiple doctors resulting in the further disfigurement of her body. She routinely endured physical and sexual abuse from her foster care families due to her gender identity and disability. She passed away in an assisted living facility from COVID-19 in 2021. Godess Bunny was much more than a shock video and deserves to be remebered as such. May she rest in peace.

TW: slight mentions of SA and pedophilia
The urbanspook analog horror is the worst and the most disgusting analog horror I've ever watched😨. Like it isn't even a real analog horror because of the lack of mystery surrounding it and the amount of shock value in there?? Also the fact that the creator had a youtube account (urbanslug) that had animations of SA٫ pedophilia٫ scantkink٫ and someone fucking a stab wound... Anyways urbanspook felt like a snuff film to me than an actual analog horror due to the bad writing ٫brutal deaths and shock value with the merchandise of the painting of a SA'd 11 yr old kid. Call me a snowflake or whateva٫ but urbanspook is absolue SHIT

Lol if it was ShOckING then how can it be expected and something "we shouldnt feel surprised by"? Even with shocking character moments in got they were still expected and made sense for them. Events like the jaime attacking ned or cersie putting joff on the throne never left an audience confused after and go on the internet to try scramble an excuse for them because we understood who these characters were and what matters to them as they played on screen. No one was actually thinking that daemon would still be hung up over being replaced as viserys' heir 20yrs later and be so angry as to hurt rhaenyra his brothers daughter and wife over it. Like if the writers had done their job in showing who daemon really is than the moment daemon and rhaenyra started having conflict and were alone together we shouldve felt nothing but dread for rhaenyra. But we didnt and the choke came out of nowhere. Because to us the show was building towards daemon never hurting his family as his one(1) and only redeeming quality that was keeping him away from straight up villain territory. And the fact that even the writers had to come out and explain that scene is proof they either failed to do what they wanted to do or they used a scene of domestic violence as ultimately just for shock value.
Tumblr media
"Shock value is the potential of an image, text, action, or other form of communication, such as a public execution, to provoke a reaction of sharp disgust, shock, anger, fear, or similar negative emotions".
Unfortunately American media is full of it. It's kind of their thing. It's easy to provoke an emotional reaction, it's very difficult to create a multilayered story. So they prefer the former.
House of the Dragon particularly suffers from it. Examples:
Viserys ordering the slaughter of his wife and showing that slaughter on screen. No guys it's not a feminist take. Showing a woman's belly being cut in half is not feminism. It's shock value.
Laena ordering her dragon to burn her alive when she was already dying anyway. Again, not feminism, sorry. The quiet tragedy of a woman dying in childbirth and the grief of her husband are obviously not impressive enough for dumb Americans so let's include a totally idiotic suicide that makes zero sense narratively just to provoke a reaction = shock value.
Larys masturbating on Alicent's feet. Adds nothing to the narrative, we already know that Larys is evil as fuck and we already know that Alicent is using him to USURP the rightful heir. These things are already established. A negotiation that should have been meaningful for Alicent's character, by showing her cunningness, determination and plotting skills is reduced to meaningless victimisation, thus objectifying one of the main ANTAGONISTS of the series in order to evoke a reaction of disgust = shock value.
Rhaenys' girlbossification. Added absolutely nothing to the narrative apart from shock, sure, kill a bunch of civilians just to threaten the usurpers? And then leave? What? One of the most stupid scenes in the show.
Crispy Cream killing Laenor's lover. Another extremely stupid scene. Didn't make ANY sense, Crispy got zero conséquence for it, I literally don't understand why that scene was included other than its shock value because it's a game of thrones wedding.
Daemon killing Rhea. Jeez. Horrible, horribly shot, horribly acted, Daemon had less human traits than a fucking Dementor I mean WTF. Am I supposed to care about this woman that appeared on screen for 1 minute? Lol I literally dgaf. It was included merely for shock value and it didn't even shock me because it was just so pointless. That's another level of lame right there.
Daemon choking Rhaenyra, the woman he spent 10+ years pining after, the woman he wanted to protect by exiling himself. The woman that just lost their baby and her throne. That woman. Sure guys domestic violence can occur in a couple that seemed to love each other deeply before the first violent strike, but that's real life. In fiction, it doesn't work that way, sorry. In fiction, when you show a character having a certain trait, you fucking STICK.TO.IT. You don't change that on a whim. If you show that Daemon is loyal to his family, he needs to stay loyal to his family, period. Characters in fiction have an interior logic that doesn't exist in the real world. Real people don't necessarily have that interior logic but fictional characters do. You mess up that logic, you fuck up the story. Aristotle said about tragedy that characters need to be static and that is the most important part. STATIC. It's the narrative that moves the characters forward. They don't just randomly throw a fit out of nowhere because of a random change in personality. But if you use the word STATIC to an American producer they may faint out of boredom because they have literally two brain cells. So yeah again, adds nothing to the narrative apart from shock. Not feminism, just stupid shock value.
Ned's death and Cersei putting Joffrey on the throne were shocking scenes but we ALREADY KNEW that Joffrey is a piece of shit and Cersei wants to put him on the throne. We were only interested in the how the hell are they gonna do that. And when we saw it it was magnificent. It elevated their character arcs by moving the plot forward. That's great storytelling.

i saw a video today with two podcast guys (off to a good start) and one of them was saying how his cousin is schizophrenic and he started detailing his delusions, like that a doctor visits him every night and he has to keep him a way, so he nailed his windows shut…
and maybe, as someone who also experiences psychosis, im just “too used to crazy stuff”, it didnt sound disturbing or insane to me but the other dude was so shocked and everyone in the comments was eating that shit up and i could tell they all thought we’re some kind of freaks.
i just wish these people wouldnt think of us like we’re circus attractions
like its nice everyone is like hashtag mental health but the ones with the “scary” illnesses are still treated like zoo animals

"I'm like heroin. I have to dole myself out carefully. I don't want people to overload." Angelyne
"If you’re looking for celebrities, the easiest one to find is Angelyne. She started her career by erecting giant billboards of herself in Hollywood (corner of Hollywood Boulevard and Highland Avenue), New York and London, displaying nothing but her likeness and a phone number. Dialing excitedly, I was thrilled that no one answered the first time – the ultimate in Hollywood attitude. Looking like a fifties glamour girl gone berserk, Angelyne drives around town in a hot-pink Corvette, wearing a matching revealing outfit, blowing kisses to anyone who looks her way. She cheerfully responds to all comments, from “We love you, Angelyne!” to “Yo! Sit on my face!” Although she’s making a record, she’s currently famous for absolutely nothing."
/ John Waters from his book of essays Crackpot: The Obsessions of John Waters (1983) /
Born on this day 73 years ago: eternal grasping starlet, kitsch icon, pop culture oddity, cult figure and enthusiast of the colour pink Angelyne (née Ronia Tamar Goldberg, 2 October 1950. The berserk billboard diva’s origins were always shrouded in mystery until an explosive Hollywood Reporter exposé in 2017). Forget Marina Abramović – the most committed performance artist of the past four decades has been Angelyne.

So I was once again suspended on Twitter. This time I’m unsure the actual reason because I didn’t do anything (for once). The aggressive cyber stalking pedo is taking credit, but I digress!
I will be more active on here with updates, shit posts and reblogs of shit I like! you can find all my links below and

they really assassinated two characters for one dumb side plot. like. i’ll never be able to take Karen seriously again. i was rooting for her before that mess.
LITERALLY
like she was a pretty alright mum from what i remember? she was there for mike and nancy and i felt bad for her with the whole ‘ted being a crappy husband’ thing
but as soon as the character in their mid/late 30’s tries to get in a 17 year olds pants? fuck that
i genuinely can’t watch any scenes of her anymore without thinking about it
and what purpose did it actually serve like-
billy died
she never had to take accountability
and it was never mentioned again
just fucked up all around
