I both find this hole thread interesting & entertaining, and I have yet to see the goatse image despite knowing about it since 2005 or so. I saw too many things as a child that are indelibly etched into my awareness and I practice filtering now so to minimize distractions.
However, context matters quite a bit! If someone Rick-rolled me with this I hope I'd have a good humor about it.
And there's always therapy, via whatever medium works.

I see what you did there.
After tubgirl I vowed to never click on links people said I shouldn't. I've never seen goatse because of this rule. (I have been rickrolled a lot, but that's fine.)
It's a butthole. It's not some traumatic thing.
It's a picture of "a butthole" in the same way that a picture of a shotgun wound to the gut is "a stomach."
Does it though? Maybe we should run a survey asking various questions (which side is the ring? etc) and see if collective memory is actually correct.
Haha yes. We even found a magic eye/autostereogram of goatse once. Was pretty epic.
"Hey come check out this amazing magic eye". Boom!
That’s half the fun. The other half is what the OP did.
