death

I was happy believing snuff movies were a myth, or extremely rare.

Now I need these bastards dead (extremely painfully if possible, but I'll take anything that removes them from society).

I already did, of course, but now it's even more urgent.

The moment children and then babies where mentioned, it was a sign that this is a much deeper hole. The initial stages where women and teens where mentioned was just the surface of true evil that lies within.

Where at the stage where we entered the unthinkable zone. Somewhere where the human part of a human doesn't matter and where children and even babies are being dragged down.

I read a lot of anthropology and have read numerous stories about mass graves being found from pre-recorded historical times, early bronze/copper age days, excavations of giant pits filled with bones of women and children with cut-marks on the bones and signs of systemic, ritualistic cannibalism and torture. (bones that healed after being broken repeatedly to show victims were kept alive and immobilized.)

And the dark pill to swallow here is that we are the same species as we were then.

These were things done by developed humans who could write and do art and think. We have not changed or evolved, and the worst people among us will continue to do the worst things imaginable, which is a naivety that our modern world of comforts has instilled in us broadly and made us ignorant of and incapable of addressing with the severity and deadly punishment it should warrant.

Epstein was just one of many, many people who deal in this too. It's happening right now somewhere in this huge world. Probably in many places.

Wait I thought to be a true "snuff film" it had to be like an actual scripted narrative film with like "filmmakers" wherein someone is murdered on screen for real, not just home murder movies, am I wrong? If any recorded murder counts then of course there's snuff films, 3 guys 1 hammer comes to mind, BTK, etc, but I thought it had to be like a proper movie.

If I'm right then this is more of a home movie/blackmail material situation, I don't think they have like a secret Woody Allen film (though nothing is impossible, he's in the files, they could.)

There are a lot of homemade snuff films unfortunately, what is this 3 guys 1 hammer although I hesitate to ask?

I saw a gruesome one of a prison riot in south america, I didn't know what it was right away, as they had like gauze wrapped around this guy's head to look like a mummy, and were boxcuttering his neck, took me like 10 seconds to realize what it was. Sick shit.

Do not pursue this any further, I know only of the story and some screenshots I will not watch the video and it ruined me for a while.

3 guys 1 hammer is a video of some kids killing a guy, but there's no plot so I don't think it counts as a "snuff film," and by "homemade snuff films" do you mean they have a plot and some production value, lighting, scripting, and someone dies, or do you mean "murder that was filmed?" Because that's kinda my point I don't know if it counts without a plot.

gruesome one of a prison riot in south america,

See from this description I don't count that as a "snuff film," and I'm questioning if it counts, because of course "filmed death" isn't a myth, there's countless examples. A quick search defines "snuff films" as:

snuff film

noun

A movie in a purported genre of movies in which an actor is actually murdered or commits suicide

A film that shows, or purports to show, the actual deliberate killing of one of the performers.

So that seems to suggest that I'm right.

No. The term applies to any video footage of somebody actually dying, as opposed to a film where the death is staged.

Sorry but no, that is the misconception I'm speaking of. Back when this was originally posted months ago it prompted me to look it up, finding the definition, which quite clearly through the use of the words "actor" and "performers" does differentiate it from simple videos of death/murder to mean a scripted work that contains a death/murder. Which makes more sense in the "snuff films are a myth" context, because quite clearly "videos of death" are verifiably real, which would put that entire debate to rest.

Dictionary.com disagrees.

Edit: terms and words have multiple definitions, and change over time.

such is the nature of linguistic constructs

Does it though?

Slang. a pornographic film that shows an actual murder of one of the performers, as at the end of a sadistic act.

splatter film (a film containing many scenes of violent and gruesome murders.)

It just narrows it further, claiming it has to be pornographic, or multiple murders, or collections like faces of death at the most generous interpretation.
