I have just scrolled down the Daily Mail website showing an animated gif of a horrible individual booting a cat up into the air, a bit more scrolling revealed an animated gif of a female teacher being beaten unconscious by a male '270lb teen'. I don't want to view those images, do you think it's ok for any site to display images like that without asking your consent first? Will the new online regulations put a stop to this?

Can you not either fight the person controlling your mouse, or when they're back's turned, hide the mouse? I feel for you wresting a mouse off someone all day, it must get trying <LOL>

aye this website, never go there, never use it, provides them with revenue, and it isn't actual news

Hate it when that happens.
This is why I always, always give consent immediately. Tends to get a bit messy otherwise.
Jesus, how soft are you? Imagine the pearl clutching if you went on /gifs/ on 4Chan!
The real world is an unpleasant place with terrible things happening all the time. The sooner you understand that the better you can deal with it when something happens to you.

so because it can be unpleasant, we should all just what, try our best to make it that way ? I think I'd rather not see such things, and I wouldn't go to 4chan anyway.

I just scrolled through said website as part of the experiment and tbh i think its a you issue as the website is aimed at a certain demographic/type of people that "dont give a ****" in the first place.
You can setup something on your router to block images on a website, is that a thing still? Like a kiddy filter for your smooth brain... I'm sure someone clever here can help.
Maybe find a better source of news?
I kind of appreciate it when a website gets to the point and doesn't fill every other line with adverts for the latest crap ive been looking at on pricespy or amazon

Had this issue with twitter and all the war videos, I don’t want to see blown up civilians, luckily you can disable auto play.
I’m sure you can get a browser extension so gifs don’t auto play, could probably disable them for certain websites.

Getting offended by something you saw on the Internet is like choosing to step in dog turd instead of just walking around it.
I don't

Yeah can see it now. Finding myself being beaten by a 270lb teen and thinking thank god I saw a gif. I know exactly how to deal with this situation.
Not everyone wants to see depressing crap. It's not really surprising someone might not appreciate seeing "terrible things" unexpectedly.
Don't watch the news then.
That's like going to porn hub and complaining about seeing sex

OP: * reasonable question although DM so whoops on her/his part*
rob: OMG 4chan is even worse (narrator: he means 'better') and everything is terrible and you need to calibrate down to this instead of expecting to enjoy your life and also something bad will happen to you.

The news has a statement like "people might find the following scenes disturbing". Which I assume isn't present on sites with grim gifs?
I'm not sure it's quite the same thing is it?
