Sorry for not making my statement clearer. I was trying to talk about those that their use of this and other disturbing imagery had less to do with making a point but for their own enjoyment. Its less to show case its horror and more because they think its fun. Yeah, saying its edge lords being edgy is too easy a statement, especially in my case I have been lucky enough to not run into thee delightsome people for the most part, but its still something that happens.

I will admit that its probably in a best case scenario of tried to show the horror and accidentally glorified it.
