Hurtcore

Hurtcore, a portmanteau of "hardcore" and "hurt", is a name given to particularly extreme pornography, usually involving degrading violence and child sexual abuse.[1][2][3] Eileen Ormsby, Australian writer and author of The Darkest Web,[4] described hurtcore as "a fetish for people who get aroused by the infliction of pain, or even torture, on another person who is not a willing participant".[1]

A subculture of the pedophile community,[5] hurtcore is outside the limits of acceptable behavior for most pedophiles,[6] and generally banned from pedophile websites.[6] Some dark web forums are dedicated to the discussion, and the sharing of images and videos, of hurtcore.[7]

In 2013, "Hurt2theCore" was the dark web's most notorious hurtcore forum,[1] run by Matthew Graham, who became known as the "King of Hurtcore"[1] and "one of the biggest child pornography and hurtcore distributors in the world".[8]

The case of Matthew Falder is the National Crime Agency's first successful hurtcore prosecution.[9]

Infamous hurtcore video Daisy's Destruction, created by Peter Scully,[10] was streamed on hurtcore websites.[11]
