Agreed. I was brought up in a troubled home and spent a lot (if not all) of my childhood/early teens on 4chans /b/ board as a result (mid-late 2000s, early 10s). Looking back at it, it seems like it was THE place that brought together all the damaged individuals.

The stuff I've seen there desensitized me to a basically every disgusting/horrid/tragic thing I had to witness later on in life, other than losses of loved ones in of themselves.
