dude thinks he's all about "the rules" and being "fair" and shit in his murder games but he clearly stacks the deck way more against some people than others
i.e. amanda just has to kill a guy? um okay, dude's dead
someone else has to DIG A KEY OUT OF THEIR OWN BRAIN THROUGH THEIR EYEBALL?
what the fuck man, what if they fucking TRY to do it but pass out from the sheer fucking agony involved in that?? oh woops yer dead anyway guess you didn't want to live enough :shrug-outta-hecks:
my gf is watching the saw movies and I hate them all
edit: also how the fuck does this dude have all the time and resources to put all this shit together
i don't get why people who like that shit don't just go watch an actual murder if they want to see something awful and gruesome
Why play a shooter instead of just shoot people? Why do anything fictional?!
Because real people getting murdered is horrible, while fictional people can be a story.
It’s why true crime is getting a pushback because it turns real people into fiction.

Like that garbage rule that all Chinese movies must end with the antagonists losing or facing justice or whatever. It all gets really boring really fucking fast. And you know what? I liked the first Saw movie. It was pretty decent. Not great, but it was a neat concept and it really hooked young me.
I'll also say that I was super into body horror before I realized I was trans. The Saw movies, The Thing, Cronenberg, and so on. Torture, mutation, whatever- just really fucked up shit happening to characters' bodies. After I realized I was trans and especially after I started hormones, I lost interest in that kind of thing. Not everyone likes gruesome media because they're morally degraded or something, you moralizing assholes.
Did you see the new Cronenberg flick on Hulu? What'd you think?
Oh I haven't seen much of that kind of thing for years now. Was it any good?
It sort of felt like he was just trying his old tricks again, to be honest, but his old tricks are still pretty effective.
Yeah I’ve been noticing it too and mostly just scroll past, but it’s really getting annoying.
It's funny because I expect the users of this site to be able to relate all the mass shootings and other violence in the US to alienation and capitalism and all that. There are a lot of reasons why violence happens so why act like the gory movies are the things affecting people's behavior
Word. if anything violent media is the culture trying to make the violence and terror in to something they can control and deal with. We watch Michael Meyers chop up teenagers so we can have the catharsis of watching the final girl escape because we have no control or resolution from actual serial killers.
People can tell the difference between fantasy and reality, even with particularly gory horror movies. A lot of die hard horror movie fans, even more than normal people, are in it for their love of the genre. They appreciate the artistry and care that goes in to the special effects and gore, they like the way that the director builds tension and terror, they like how writers and directors find new ways to keep the genre fresh and creative. I'd argue that for most horror movie fans the gore and violence is even less "real" that it is for regular viewers because they know so much about the technical aspects of how it's accomplished. I mean, they also love the thrill of a scary movie, but a lot of them genuinely love the craft.
i really laughed at this one for some reason. yeah 90% of every genre is derivative garbage, but i think i watched too much horror trash.
Really bad horror movies are a pleasure all their own bc you can heckle all the obvious shortcuts and stereotypes and no one will get mad at you for talking over the movie.
I mean some people do. A cartel chainsaw execution is just a couple clicks away. With that said the "real" stuff obviously hits different and many people (thankfully) wouldnt find that entertaining.
Yeah like wtf I wanna watch hot people scream while covered in red syrup in a scary decorated room not like, an actual person dying
Great point!
Because nobody actually gets hurt in a dumb gore movie. Weird comment.

I finally watched the movie and the one thing I found most disturbing was how much the main character's nemesis Clare Quilty looked like :brace-watching: and the woman who was with him in the hotel looked like :liz-society:
Genuinely started questioning my sanity and the nature of my reality

I don’t get why people who like that shit don’t just go watch an actual high school if they want to see something awful and gruesome
