So is 'war porn' a thing now?

Clicked here for vajayjays and boobies. Pfft.

Sorry I offended you petal, I didn't realise stating an opinion on the topic is apparently now the same as saying I'd love to go over and blow them up myself 🙄

Humans have never been different. They just pretend to be empathetic so they can tell themselves that they are superior.

This war allows passive Irish people to indulge extremes of xenophilia, xenophobia and "Red Scare" panic simultaneously.

They get to cheer handsome white men like Zelensky while also indulging anti-white hatred against Russians and (part of) European culture.

So it hits a lot of buttons (deniably) that don't get hit otherwise and that give a lot of pleasure.

I think its a spiritual mistake to indulge in orgasmic delight over killing.

Tarantino has marketed this experience by making his movie villians rapists, Nazis, violent slave-owners etc. and then killing them horribly in crowd-pleasing climaxes.

Seems a fair few pro Putin posters who were kicked from the Russia thread are airing faux outrage here.

I can understand how those Vids would be a morale boost to the Ukrainian armed forces. David can defeat Goliath.

No one wants death. No one wants bodies in the ground, but Russia invaded, raped, tortured, occupied another sovereign nation.

But have people ever been different? Public spectacles of violence and death have always been popular with the masses. The difference is that technology now brings the supply directly to the end user.

I think the the lack of neutrality is a new low though, at least it’s the lost obvious one I have seen so far. A very strange development

400000 people are estimated to have met their maker in the colloseum

Keyboard warriors who wouldn't know what war was if it bit them on the arse, and should be eternally grateful they will never have to know what it is like to be in one.

Grand, don't let me interrupt your war erections so and I hope you get all the death and misery footage you covet. Don't let the groupthink ever end either.

Oh I see you added another line after I replied to add some balance...nice

Ok...remembering eh 🙂

it’s probably the first war where anyone in eye shot can take a mobile device, smaller then their hand and broadcast the events to the globe, in real time and in ultra HD.

In all other wars we were reliant by and large on news agencies determining what we saw and when we saw it.

my only concern of this war will be the fallout endured by Irish citizens as a result of over 70,000 Ukranian people having arrived to be housed, financed and given medical cards, free public transport and at the end of the war the tens of thousands more who will be joining them here, all of whom will demand we give them the same..

dozens of wars and violent conflicts were happening on this planet before and now but none were ever as ‘fashionable’ or ‘cause worthy’ outside as the Ukranian conflict….

Does nobody find it odd that nobody ever suggested anyone give a tuppence fück about the gulf war, Vietnam war, Syrian civil war etc… barring ’ shît that’s terrible’ .. ‘ ok we’ll go for that pint, come on ‘

and now the war in Ukraine, over 3000 kilometres away, two time zones away (around the same physical distance between Dublin and New York) and the media are trying to constantly propagate the idea courtesy of very detailed and in depth coverage and ‘war porn’… that we’ve a duty to not just help but relinquish our wellbeing in the course of doing so.

the media has been at the forefront of this….

The only reason why we're so onboard, offering housing and freebies, is Ukrainians look like us.

If it was a war in a non white country, ah isnt it tragic... anyway, moving on...

The whole point of this Battlefield footage going into circulation, is that it get back to ordinary Russians and have the desired propaganda effect.

As far as I'm concerned, we're not seeing nearly enough of the footage of the destruction and mass killing perpetrated by Russians against civilian Ukraine. Nothing less than war crimes.

This could be all over months ago if the West had stopped prevaricating and supplied the armour, drones and offensive weapons systems that Ukraine have been asking for. Really, the Russians are so shite they should have been routed and we wouldn't have to see anymore new 'war porn' from this invasion again.

We take a bigger interest in it because it's in Europe - literally next door to several of our fellow EU member states.

Dublin - Kyiv is about 2500km, Dublin - New York is about 5000km... Two time zones away? So is Finland. You're talking rubbish tbh.
