>the culture these days is ridiculously desensitizing to gross stuff.

Eh, to be fair you have young teens bisecting mammals, lizards and what not in biology classes. Then you also have ultra violent video games as well, and shock humor stuff on comedies like Rick and Morty or Family Guy. Oddly enough all of this violence is A-OK in the US, but god help you if you show a woman's vag, butthole or nipple. Can't judge what's the situation in Europe since censorship laws are more selectively insane, like in Sweden where a fucking video game with virtual 16 year olds can become illegal.

Oddly enough while surfing through youtube and seeing how normalfaggots react to things I've noticed that a noticeable chunk, chunk mind you, not majority, bitch about how violent mainstream TV has gotten. Mind you this correlation I saw is not exactly reliable, since Youtube is losing popularity due to censorship and draconian copyright claims. But hey, if the brain dead normalfaggots on Youtube have noticed a trend maybe it's worth noting?

>This is especially the case with people who grew up on imageboards, it also makes us less motivated and nihilistic.

No doubt, however I managed to crawl out of that hole, granted I still jack it to shit like guro, and loli getting raped, but I've never let it blur my perception of reality. There's a clear distinction for me between fantasy and reality, and I never let either one cross the line. Oddly enough as I'm now entering my 30s I can't jack it to degenerate stuff as much anymore unless it's in video game format. When I'm jacking it normally I can only jack it to "vanilla" content or stories with wholesome good endings.

Fuck NTR though, that cuckold shit never held my interest and never will.
