ETA: Oh, and I also absolutely loved how that image of the smurf village being bombed (which was from an actual commercial IIRC) was considered "distrubing," but nobody bats an eye at the drawing of one of the baby smurfs getting their tail crushed by pliers or pretty much any drawing that featured Snickers.
I know right? I came across this thread a few days ago and because im the kind of person who looks at car accidents and all that shit, I just had to go and look.
The impression i came away with (aside from the gaping plot holes as others have pointed out) is two sharp contrasts. On one hand it is deeply disturbing. The details of torture, the fact that people want to buy a used Smurf diaper, the attention to the Smurf's tails and again the torture and detail to it. On the other hand, the story is so saccharine-sweet in places. You have the author ccoing over how cute the baby Smurf's noses and tails are, how tiny their fingers are, how they are so fragile and precious, how the things that go into their care must be mindful of their fragileness (everything at the nursery has to be organic, hypoallergenic, etc) why would anyone want to hurt the babies, they're so kawaiidesudesudesudesudesu!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm not as horrified about this as some people are but I am still disgusted. (after all the things I've seen on the Interbutts, I've become somewhat jaded) The Internet has become the perfect place for these sick fucks, who, before the Internet era, would mostly be alone in their sick fuckery, now the Internet lets them feed (and feed off) one another's sick fuckery.
