It was March or April of 2008 and I worked in the porn industry as a web developer and moderator for user submitted content sites. One site in particular that I managed was gaytube which at the time was owned by Twisty's/Pink Visual/Carsed Marketing. As a moderator for gaytube it was my responsibility to approve or deny all user submitted content to the site. and there was a lot of it. daily. Affiliate content got approved regardless but users had to be vetted. enter a guy from Eastern Europe named Alexi or Alex.
He'd submit stuff constantly of shoving things up his ass. like whatever it was. food, random objects, whatever. One day in March or April of 2008 he submitted this clip. all of it. in it's entirety. I watched it. I was one of if not the first person OTHER than Alexi to watch this thing. so. much. blood.
Naturally I had to deny it. But even after denying a clip I still had access to the upload. Now since I was in the industry I had access to all the industry forums and other user sites that people in the industry would use like the message board "gofuckyourself" (seriously, that's what it was called). I was on speaking terms with the guy that ran efukt and I would always share with him weird shit via gofuckyourself that would get submitted to one of the many sites I worked on like the victorian era E.T. porn or the duct tape ninja turtles porn for example. So I decided to send him this clip. he uploaded it. the rest is history.
But I remember seeing elsewhere that the specific "Mr hands" footage that was passed around wasn't that event; it was available before he died. They had been doing that for a while. I don't have a good source for that right now, and will keep looking.
It's kind of sad, not that RawDawg are bad or anything, I've seen too many of them. When I see them my brain fuzzes over and instead of stop scrolling I hear "Stah-liii" in my head and then I've scrolled past it.
So I have to wake myself up and actually go back and read it.

Not gonna lie if OP is legit this feels like being one handshake away from legend, like if you met Peter Jackson's assistant on LOTR or so.

Sir, if that's true, it is an honor to be in one comment thread with you.
I was a teenager, and that was the era of imageboards. The rest is also history.

It’s still the top ranking shock site to me, never been eclipsed.

Oh man, tubgirl? Octopusgirl? Blue waffle? Meatspin? Pain Olympics?
deranger@sh.itjust.works · 29 pts · 148d
Don’t forget HAI2U, or Mr Hands. Cakefarts isn’t exactly shocking in comparison to these heavy hitters but is definitely one of the classics.
Shock site pranks via disguised links was the best possible anti-phishing training one could receive as a teenager. Bring that shit back.

I hate that I know all of these. At least no one has mentioned swap.avi yet. Oh shit, I just did!

swap.avi - when you realize 2girls1cup is just a trailer for a full length video from the same studio

2girls1cup was fake.. swap.avi was not.
deranger@sh.itjust.works · 3 pts · 148d
Elaborate on “fake.” It’s the same studio who made both, MFX. This is super easy to verify online.

Mr. Hands wasn't even that bad. He died, but not from the incident that was filmed.
deranger@sh.itjust.works · 2 pts · 147d
Really? I thought it was what was filmed. Not to be that guy but… source?
bhamlin@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 147d
So, good question. I can't find my original source. It seems that the event that did lead to his death was recorded, that I have a source for. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enumclaw_horse_sex_case
But I remember seeing elsewhere that the specific "Mr hands" footage that was passed around wasn't that event; it was available before he died. They had been doing that for a while. I don't have a good source for that right now, and will keep looking.

In hindsight, I like that we are developing independently.
There was an actual reform period where lemmy shitposts went from corn to horny-posting.
With names of important figures and all. There is history here.
