    Yeah magical realism has the element where supernatural shit happens and it never gets acknowledged as something crazy. Like in 100 years where a ghost shows up and it’s played as a major annoyance and not horror.

      I feel like treating random ass ghosts as a horror thing is very :lmayo:

          And just the assumption that anything strange and unusual is automatically hostile. So many cultures view ghosts as a positive, often helpful phenomena but in white america it's always supposed to be scary.
