Pretty much the only disturbing things I see come out of japanese art...specifically: hentai (oh come on you prudes, you KNOW a lot of you look at it too). Ironically, the reason nothing outside of that can really disturb me is if you've seen some of the worst stuff out there, you've seen some pretty unspeakable things.
As I said, the fact that there's people out there that get off on stuff like what's described above is what disturbs me the most.
Imagine, if you will (though I suggest you don't) a tentacle as thick as a coke can going into a girl's butt, through her body, out her mouth, coiling back down her body, and then going into her vagina...complete with an x-ray cut so you can see the whole trek.

Out of curiosity, what band and how were they being hateful? I think I heard something else about this, but missed the band name.requisitename said:

I think because its a game I found even more creepy....Im not playing skyrim anytime soon
but anyway, I think that would actually make a really cool fantasy/horror story
Fiction OR otherwise?
Well i can't really remember any fiction... i haven't read much lately, so it would be the japanese porn censoring thread
Damn japanese and their popular, more or less pedophilic rape fantasies

Neon Genesis Evangelion
I liked it because it didn't disturb me due to the violence, but the plot itself
That aside, I'm quite a sensitive person when it comes to blood and gore, so I keep away from that part of the Internet

There was this scene in the Visual Novel Chaos;Head, where you want to call your sister after an earthquake to ask if she's alright. When you call, you hear her phone ring somewhere in your room (You know it's hers because of that very upbeat ringtone) You follow the sound and find this box you've never seen before...

I have never been so shit scared by an upbeat ringtone as then. it was really, really disturbing, especially because I was very into the story.

Gaah, same here. Berserk is a remarkably good manga but it freaks me the fuck out. I have a certain strange respect for the author for not imposing any limits at all on how he wants to tell a story--he shows everything, no matter how horrifying it is. Of course, then it swings right back around to disturbing when you remember he does all that immensely detailed artwork himself...Casual Shinji said:
Anyway, I recently read a graphic novel called Pixu about some malignant force inhabiting an apartment building and screwing with its tenants. Standard horror fare, but it becomes pretty damn disturbing as it's revealed that the protagonists were all horribly screwed up from the beginning, before anything paranormal occurred.
Otherwise, well, I could go on for a while, but #342 [http://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-342] from the SCP Foundation is creepy as hell.
I don't know, man. I have a pretty high tolerance for "disturbing" fiction.
Things that really disturb me are things people in real life actually think, say and believe, particularly where it's completely at odds with any kind of system of ethics or at odds with human empathy in general.
So yeah, I guess you can say the last thing that disturbed me was another example of how casual racism, sexism, homophobia and other forms of prejudice and privilege still permeate our society in 2011 and how unwilling most people are to acknowledge or address it and have a mature, rational conversation about these kinds of things.

For me, it would have to be when I recently was on Wikipedia and read the plot summary for Lolita....seriously..what..did..I..just..readVault101 said:
Lolita is divided into two parts and 69 chapters. It is narrated by Humbert Humbert, a literary scholar born in 1910 to a Swiss father and an English mother in Paris, who is obsessed with young girls, whom he refers to as "nymphets". Humbert suggests that this obsession results from the death of a childhood sweetheart, Annabel Leigh (a deliberate play by Nabokov on the poem "Annabel Lee", by Humbert's favorite poet Edgar Allan Poe, which also involves a dead girl and her left behind lover). After an unsuccessful marriage to a Polish doctor's adult daughter, Valeria, Humbert moves to Ramsdale, a small New England town, in 1947 to write. He rents a room in the house of Charlotte Haze, a widow. While Charlotte tours him around the house, he meets her 12-year-old daughter, Dolores (also known as Dolly, Lolita, Lola, Lo and L), with whom, partially due to her uncanny resemblance to Annabel, he immediately becomes infatuated. Humbert stays at the house only to remain near her. While he is obsessed with Lolita, he disdains her crassness and preoccupation with contemporary American popular culture, such as teen movies and comic books.
While Lolita is away at summer camp, Charlotte, who has fallen in love with Humbert, tells him that he must either marry her or move out. Humbert agrees to marry Charlotte in order to continue living near Lolita. Charlotte is oblivious to Humbert's distaste for her, as well as his lust for Lolita, until she reads his diary. Upon learning of Humbert's true feelings and intentions, Charlotte plans to flee with Lolita and threatens to expose Humbert as a "detestable, abominable, criminal fraud." Fate intervenes on Humbert's behalf, however; as she runs across the street in a state of shock, Charlotte is struck and killed by a passing car.
Humbert picks Lolita up from camp, pretending that Charlotte is ill at an invented hospital. Rather than return to Charlotte's home (out of fear that the neighbors will be suspicious), he takes Lolita to a hotel. Humbert gives her sleeping pills (which he names Vitamin X) and leaves her in their room, telling her to go to bed. As he waits for the pills to work, he wanders through the hotel and meets a man (later revealed to be Clare Quilty), who seems to know who he is. Humbert excuses himself from the strange conversation and returns to the room. There, he attempts to molest Lolita (climbing into her bed as there were no spare cots available at the hotel), but the sedative is too mild, his "security...a sham one." Instead, she initiates sex the next morning. He discovers that he is not her first lover, as she had relations with a female tent-mate the previous summer, and had sex with a boy at Camp Q. Later, Humbert reveals to Lolita that Charlotte is actually dead; Lolita now has no choice but to accept her stepfather into her life on his terms for she has "absolutely nowhere else to go." Further to this, Humbert points out that if he was to go to jail, Lolita would probably end up in care.
Lolita and Humbert drive around the country, moving from state to state and motel to motel. He sees the necessity of maintaining a common base of guilt to keep their relations secret and wants denial to become second nature for Lolita; he tells her if he is arrested, she will "become a ward of the Department of Public Welfare," losing all her clothes and presents. Later he bribes her for sexual favors, though he knows that she does not reciprocate his love and shares none of his interests. After a year touring North America, the two settle down in another New England town, where Lolita is enrolled in Beardsley School for girls. Humbert is very possessive and strict, forbidding Lolita to take part in after-school activities or to associate with boys; most of the townspeople, however, see this as the action of a loving and concerned, while old-fashioned parent.
Lolita begs to be allowed to take part in the school play; Humbert reluctantly grants his permission in exchange for more sexual favors. The play is written by Clare Quilty. He is said to have attended a rehearsal and been impressed by Lolita's acting. Just before opening night, Lolita and Humbert have a ferocious argument; Lolita runs away while Humbert assures the neighbors everything is fine. He searches frantically until he finds her exiting a phone booth. She is in a bright, pleasant mood, saying she tried to reach him at home and that a "great decision has been made." They go to buy drinks and Lolita tells Humbert she doesn't care about the play, rather, wants to leave town and resume their travels.
As Lolita and Humbert drive westward again, Humbert gets the feeling that their car is being tailed and he becomes increasingly paranoid, suspecting that Lolita is conspiring with others in order to escape. She falls ill and must convalesce in a hospital; Humbert stays in a nearby motel, without Lolita for the first time in years. One night, Lolita disappears from the hospital; the staff tell Humbert that Lolita's "uncle" checked her out. Humbert embarks upon a frantic search to find Lolita and her abductor, but eventually he gives up. During this time, Humbert has a two year relationship (ending in 1952) with an adult named Rita, who he describes as a "kind, good sport." She "solemnly approve" of his search for Lolita. Rita figuratively dies when Humbert receives a letter from Lolita, now 17, who tells him that she is married, pregnant and in desperate need of money. Humbert goes to see Lolita, giving her money in exchange for the name of the man who abducted her. She reveals the truth: Clare Quilty, an acquaintance of Charlotte's and the writer of the school play, checked her out of the hospital and attempted to make her star in one of his pornographic films; when she refused, he threw her out. She worked odd jobs before meeting and marrying her husband, who knows nothing about her past. Humbert asks Lolita to leave her husband, Dick, and live with him, to which she refuses. He gives her a large sum of money anyway, which secures her future. As he leaves she smiles and shouts good bye in a "sweet, American" way.
Humbert finds Quilty at his mansion; he intends to kill him, but first wants him to understand why he must die; he took advantage of a sinner (Humbert), he took advantage of a disadvantage. Eventually, Humbert shoots him several times (throughout which Quilty is bargaining for his life in a witty, though bizarre, manner). Once Quilty has died, Humbert exits the house. Shortly after, he is arrested for driving on the wrong side of the road and swerving. The narrative closes with Humbert's final words to Lolita in which he wishes her well, and reveals the novel in its metafiction to be the memoirs of his life, only to be published after he and Lolita have both died.
According to the novel's fictional "Foreword", Humbert dies of coronary thrombosis upon finishing his manuscript. Lolita dies giving birth to a stillborn girl on Christmas Day, 1952.

Besides being a disgusting story, it is incredibly depressing and the ending just seems devastating for Dolores Haze.
There's probably a good reason why Miura went somewhat of a softer route after the "Tower of Conviction". After having to draw the most horrendous torture scenarios - none of which were exagurated, all these things actually happened during the inquisition - it must've been nice to work on something a bit more innocent and fairy tale-ish. But then ofcourse he casually dips his toes back into the realm of the fucked up with the "troll rape" scene. *eesh*Yokai said:
