It is a Usenet newsgroup devoted to, but not necessarily limited to, pictures of "the 6 Ds": death, disease, dismemberment, disfigurement, deformity, and decapitation. What sorts of posts are considered "on topic"? Blood and pus encouraged, but not required; Atrocities of war; Dead bodies. Mutilation is considered a plus; Autopsies. What about tasteless sex acts, like bestiality, shit eating, or piss drinking? While these acts are admittedly grotesque and tasteless, there are several other newsgroups devoted to these subjects, and it is the consensus of the approximately 15 to 20 co-creators of this group that these types of pictures are definitely off-topic and unwelcome in the group.
