Rickrolling is the gentle, kind, prosocial descendant of what we used to do on the internet, which was putting a redirect to goatse in every possible misspelling of a url
There used to be some horrific beheading videos from the Chechan wars in the 90's. Some poor Russian conscript crying for his mother while his head was hacked off with a combat knife
I never got the lemon party one. “Oh no, old man sex? How terrible!” Unless I bore witness to dismemberment, irl vore, or extremely violent sexual or psychological perversion, it rarely stuck with me.
“This is terrible. Someday my ballsack will be 3 feet long. I can’t bear the weight of that knowledge.”
I dunno, I understood fellatio and homosexuality at a young age, during a fairly homophobic time. I imagine it wouldn’t have bothered me immensely. Maybe I would have asked my parents and been beaten for it, but I’d remember the beating more than the old men.
But the video of someone nailing their penis to a board, or the vagina cactus clips would have fucked me up. God forbid I watched the mantis video or 2 guys 1 hammer.
It was an earlier time and being gay was a lot less okay.
I mean it's the same with shit like meatspin. It's w/e, just some penis, but back then showing someone something gay? waow what a funny prank, ewww I don't wanna see something gay.
Small reminder of how far we've come. Or rather, how far we haven't, since I imagine people would have the same reaction today.
I mean, meat spin was less about the gay and more about the multi-sense experience. Spinning penis to a loud song about spinning. It’s goofy and visible. Or, at least that was how I perceived it.
Lemon party, meatspin, various numbers of girls and cups, tubgirl and goatse. Links and emails and timed redirects. Any way someone could think of to get others to look at something they'd been tricked into seeing.
The children of today have no idea of the scars we bear.
The concept behind rickrolling afaik is that certain people cannot be upset by extreme violence and the grotesque, but as an alternative method you can inflict psychic damage on those same people with cheesy love songs

Goatse, lemonparty, meatspin, earrape jumpscare YouTube videos, liveleaks.
A cutesy, if formulaic 1980s synthpop song is how you apologize.

I’ll never forget the video of the man, I think he was a journalist, being beheaded that was used everywhere for a minute.

This sounds like someone with internet experience.
Imagine seeing it without that much exposure to other things and potentially at a young age.

The current sanitized internet of "unalive", "f*ck", etc. would shit bricks if exposed to all of the heinous shit of yestercentury

I mean, that shit is still around, just not in the corpo approved ad pages. It's only been, like, a year tops since I've seen a decapitation.

What's goatse?
EDIT: Two hours, and no one's posted it yet? I left the door open, all you had to do was walk through it.

I used to load the receiver part of goatse for any site that deep linked to my site. Fun times.

I still remember downloading fan sub animes and not knowing they were on a week off and getting this instead
Goatse was just a right of fucking passage in warly internet days.

The amount of times I've been redirected to a Google search for blue waffle is uncountable.
