Abstract: In the contemporary digital landscape, the archetype of the witch has undergone a significant metamorphosis, moving from the shadowy woods of folklore to the neon-lit, blood-splattered stages of social media. This paper explores the persona of Gatita Veve (a pseudonymous or representative figure for the niche of Latinx/alternative “bruja” gore content creators) as a case study in the fusion of body horror, religious iconography, and digital performance. By analyzing how this figure utilizes gore aesthetics within entertainment content, this paper argues that the "Gore Witch" functions as a radical tool for reclaiming feminine rage, dismantling colonial religious trauma, and navigating the commodification of transgression on platforms like TikTok, Instagram, and Patreon.
Entertainment media is governed by algorithms that prioritize shock and retention. Gatita Veve’s content exploits a specific loophole in content moderation (2023-2025): non-realistic gore is often permitted if tagged as "art" or "special effects."

On the surface, Gatita Veve (Spanish for "Little Cat Veve") looks like a standard e-girl influencer: big anime eyes, dyed hair in split colors (usually neon pink and jet black), and a wardrobe that oscillates between Y2K revival and latex fetishwear. However, the "Gore" modifier is not hyperbole. The Witch’s Screen: Gatita Veve, Gore Aesthetics, and
Unlike traditional witches in media (think Sabrina the Teenage Witch or The Craft), Gatita Veve does not hide the messiness of ritual. Her content is a pastiche of: The ASMR Hook: The sound design of gore
She first went viral in late 2023 with a 15-second Reel titled "Getting ready to summon a demon (GONE WRONG) (GONE GORY)." In the clip, she applies lip gloss while a practical effect puppet of a goat-headed entity vomits glitter behind her. The deadpan delivery, combined with high-quality special effects, created a new category of humor: Morbid Camp.
A major component of her media presence operates in the "boudoir" or adult-adjacent space. Platforms like Patreon and OnlyFans have allowed creators like Veve to bypass mainstream censorship. Her content here utilizes the "Gore Witch" theme to justify high subscription values; it is sold not just as titillation, but as "artistic expression." The juxtaposition of nudity with horror elements (e.g., "sexy vampire" or "possessed survivor") challenges traditional erotica by introducing elements of fear and the grotesque.
