Desensitization is a type of trauma. Many people are, in fact, traumatized by seeing death.

I have seen people die and I have seen dead bodies and it’s a weight on me for over twenty years. It compounds instead of getting better.

I’ve seen people have nightmares after scrolling through Facebook and seeing Charlie Kirk die. People that were somewhat okay with him being dead but still traumatized by seeing it.

No one should see it without consent. I mean really informed consent not just “sure, I’ll watch this.” They have to know all the risks. Even then, I’d still prefer they didn’t.

I don’t like your argument about earlier public executions. I’m pretty sure none of them were okay.
