- meowface 12y agoI've actually never met someone who was offended or disgusted by it, excluding those who are socially conservative or religious. That may also be due to the fact that I'm still in the 18-25 age group though.
- colanderman 12y agoI'm neither socially conservative nor religious nor over 30, yet I think it's horse shit. It's like everything I hate about Reddit distilled into a deck of cards. Somehow all my friends love it; I personally don't care to imagine midgets ejaculating into dismembered bodies regardless of the context. I guess I just don't understand the humor of shock. I usually find an excuse to leave a party sooner after CAH gets pulled out, whether I'm roped into playing it or not. Maybe that makes me a loser, whatever.
- meowface 12y agoI don't really consider it shock humor for whatever reason. I think it's actually kind of clever and somewhat low-key. It's more like general Internet humor, not so much 4chan humor. I'm also used to things that are way, way more "edgy". There are games out there that are much more offensive and rely only on shock value, usually involving the n-word and related interspersed frequently.

- ponytail 12y agoThey are popular for the same reason garbage like Cheetos and Pepsi are popular - they do a ton of advertising.
