Why do I think seeing a person’s foot after a lawnmower accident is awesome but am disgusted after seeing someone taking a shit?

Have you ever been on r/FiftyFifty ? I guess I meant to say “why am I fine with seeing/why is it interesting to see” instead of “why do I think it’s awesome”. Awesome doesn’t mean “cool” or “good” in contrary to what most people today think it means. “Awesome” literally means “extremely impressive or daunting; inspiring great admiration, apprehension, or fear,” which is what I meant by saying that. Also, there’s not really such thing as a “regular person”. Everyone is different and has different tolerances to things we see. Some people react in disgust, some people wonder about how that happened and what’s all going on in that person’s body.

Additionally, I’ve been pretty desensitized to most things because I’ve had the lucky privilege of growing up in a generation that sees all kinds of weird shit on the internet.

So, no, I’m pretty sure I don’t “need help” or whatever but thanks for totally not understanding what I meant.
