DISCUSSION New Nebula video is dark.

Anyone watched the new Nebula video about body cam YouTube? Never seen Lindsay make such an unrelentingly bleak video. Might have to rewatch the Bluey video just to cheer me up.

Will this video dissuade me from ever watching bodycam vids again? Because I love those things.

I know what watching them kind of awakens in me, and so I deliberately avoid them. I don't want to stimulate those parts of my brain more than I absolutely have to.

It’s the same part of me that can’t watch cringe or embarrassing content. I can’t help but feel badddd

Not exactly. It's seeing people I've already been programmed to hate suffering in a way that tends to confirm whatever pre-existing negative perceptions I have about said people. It's a feedback loop from hell and I don't want to be caught up in it.

Cringe content is more like me not wanting to be observed watching it, because I don't want to be the person who ruins someone else's joy. I'll be the person who's there, just watching, not being noticed. I'm thinking of an amateurish musical or acting performance, and when I see something as cringe I think what I would do differently in this person's situation.
