Cartoon violence is so over the top and symbolic when you see actual violence. The stomach turning aspect of real violence/torture/murder/rape is its bland mundane banal nature. No dramatic music, no redemption, no happy end, no heroism. So raw. I've seen quite some real gore online, similar to many online people. I don't know how it affects my psychology. I like to think it has at least some positive effects, like not fainting and less of a shock if I need to act in such a situation. But maybe real world violence seen through my eyeballs not through a screen is a whole another thing again. Maybe hearing and seeing real abuse is not something you can "prepare for" through gore videos.
