Any remotely modern R rated movie is more realistic and graphic than Faces of Death, do you have issues with ads for those movies? Many PG-13 movies are worse and newpapers, magazines and TV news regularly show far worse. Faces of Death is largely viewed as comedy these days and some of the "graphic" imagery in it was humorously bad/fake even by 1980s standards.
LiveLeak is like those old drivers ed videos, it can make you better by showing how bad things can get.
I remember pre-internet it was Faces of Death [1] (lots faked but still intense), then Ogrish then the makers of Ogrish going to LiveLeak. There is some value in seeing the worst humans have to offer as it gives you a wider picture, but also too much of that is depressing. People should seek out the full spectrum to be based in reality, but also push better quality of life.
As a kid, horror movies were our superhero movies really with late 80s/90s slasher flicks. Fangoria was a big magazine. Then you see things like what actually goes on, seeing the true horrors of the world. Sometimes seeing those things can make you appreciate calm, quality of life focused ways, be nicer to people and try to make the world a better place as it can be raw.
LiveLeak was one of those places you could go to see the video that everyone else was blocking or censoring. ItemFix looks similar just not as intense, more on the WhatCouldGoWrong or IdiotsInCars type level. Always good to have another video site for seeing the broad spectrum of the human condition. Just balance time more towards quality of life, but always know how bad it could be, makes you respect today and appreciate things. Everything in moderation.
most photos and films were too inhumane for mainstream media. A few acquaintances sold most of their material, recorded on a trip paid by some news agency or another to cover the war du jour, to exploitation gore producers. like the "faces of death" series, who could buy the footage for close to nothing after it was rejected by a single news outlet, and then sells it as VHS compilation.
The underground movie 'Faces of Death' had a scene in which the authorities showed up to a small village household . In the Eighties, in a eastern block country (unnamed) .Took the head of household out, and drag & quartered the guy in front of his family. I forgot the amount ,taxes owed but it was low.Due to political pressure from the West,the actions were halted.

Also,
Faces of Death (1978) which my mom definitely did not allow me to watch.
