when it was first released, i ran into links pretty often. it became "trendy" for a legion of trolls on one video game board i posted on to embed the link into other, innocent looking links. some people were just genuinely posting it, with others noting "it's tough to watch, but everyone should see this to see what we are dealing with." (remember, this was during a bit of patriotic surge and widespread support for the "war on terror"). how would a 10yo just posting about asheron's call interpret that?
when i modded the board, it was a big issue. the url to the main site it was on was eventually added to a link filter, but they found ways around that.
i dont want to post a link to the site here, but it started with an "o" and ended with an "ish." it used to host and spread a lot of horrific things. i have no idea if it still exists.
