I remember visiting the site a few times and some video's will make me think about what humanity has come to. I even made a account just to read the comments and I regret it. If you think comments here in Gamefaqs are bad, you've never visited liveleak comments lol. Full of creepy pedos, those who crave on death, bunch of MAGA supporters, etc. No loss here imo!

I saw Doge get hanged there once but otherwise don't have that much morbid interest.

I really miss the site that spawned live leak. It was one of the best gore sites out there during the 2000s.

So where you guys meeting now?

ummmm? Here in faqs of course!

I think videos like the stuff on LiveLeak are important to watch at least once. Just to see that reality isn't pretty sometimes and how it makes you feel.

---

Did they show shit like babies being killed? I'd really hate to watch that.

Liveleak was owned by russia fuck them alot of pro russian propaganda

Honestly, nah. I never felt the need to look at these things. You don't need to see them to know they're part of life. I'd rather see fucked things in fiction than in real life.

On one hand, I hate death videos and gore. I'm sure they can cause some form of pstd.

On the other hand, it feels like censorship. People should be able to choose if they want to view or not

Never cared to go to the site or be featured on it

Uh, no. If something is illegal, then it shouldn't be posted online. Shit like CP should definitely be taken down, what the fuck. Murder and gore vids should be no different

I thought it was just accidents and stuff. CP and murder should definitely disappear.

I dont think gore is illegal unless it meets certain conditions. Even FunkyTown is legal im pretty sure, and thats about as hardcore as it gets.

Yeah, it sounds like that's why they shut it down and changed to a different format/name in the first place. They're probably not comfortable with it anymore.

You are fucked in the head

I understand why people feel the need to expose themselves to fucked shit. Being able to see fucked shit and still maintain your beliefs shows mental strength, and looking at it more can make your mind stronger . But most people just don't have that strength. It's for the best sites like these get taken down.

Reality isn't very nice.
"Bad thing happened, you should be mad about it!" isn't nearly as meaningful as watching some video of the bad thing happening.

I had zero interest in that website

You don't need to see fucked things to know reality can be harsh. Removing this site is best for society.

Heck even N e o g a f removed their politics board completely too. I had to do that because some same I can't mention the site here for some odd reason.

Wonder if Faqs will ever remove politics completely hmmmm
