imo deep web is just overrated
a lot of the 'illegal' stuff you see at first sight are going to be a scam, or in a little bit of cases trap websites.
the deep web is a service where you can purchase illegal comodities, watch real blood and gore (which you can just go onto 4chan for), rape, buy drugs and firearms (98% of the time a scam), hire HITMEN (98% of the time a scam), and basically learn how to do illegal stuff like cook meth (you can find out how to do this in a lot of places), kill a man (yes you can kill a man through your web browser), kidnap people (yes you can kidnap a person through your web browser), etc (98% of the time a scam)
almost all creepy/odd stories i've heard of from the deep web were just creepypastas, and from what i've learned the deep web really isn't even that much from dozens of people who've been on there
you can buy drugs on normal websites (i've seen one website listed as some shoe/clothing sale site end up being one to purchase plants) and not need deep web for it
i'm not going to deny that there are probably rape videos on the web, but there have also been rape videos posted on normal sites you can go to at anytime too
