Or something really horrific like that? Do you think it would haunt you or anything?

Pfft, I've witnessed things IRL and they didn't faze me at all. I wasn't even trying to suppress an emotional reaction. It wouldn't change me at all, at most I might get over excited and giddy over it, which can be really cringy afterward.

Not at all. I've already seen some shit. But I know that though I didn't have a visceral reaction to it, it disturbed me on a deeper level.

A lot of us come from the times of Ogrish, Faces of Death, and the like. Unless I knew the people involved, I imagine I would be largely unchanged. Or should I say bigly.

I would study it. Like if I saw a headless corpse I would check out what a cross section of the neck looks like for real. I considered being a military medic for a while. Would have been interesting to see some combat wounds.

I've killed a person before. Fuck the slow they should get outta my way.

After watching chechclear, the cartel chainsaw execution, a shitload of sandnigger beheadings, and the video of the cartel slowly beheading a guy with his face skinned off and sticking blades into his throat while Guns n Roses played in the background... not much would phase me in the slightest.

Well, if it were something that I would describe as horrific or gruesome, something truly unexpected and shocking, I would like to think that it would cause me to have an adrenaline response, a heightened sense of awareness, and I'd like to think that I would be able to retain control over myself and respond to the situation in the most appropriate way possible, but that would probably depend on a number of factors. That's a good question, good thing to actually think about now and again.
Would it haunt me? Depends what you mean, depends on who is involved. I do care about people. But even if the event involved strangers, if it was truly horrific and shocking I imagine I would remember it for a long time. Things like that do tend to leave an impression, I'm sure most people have memories of past events that have left lasting impressions on them, shaped them, possibly traumatised if you want to call it that.
