every day tumbling around “adult horror: i do not like or respect most of this and/or am largely uninterested” thoughts until i come up with amazing points, or better yet, ones that are funny

#i like it In Theory. in that i understand many ppl's Not Liking Horror means they don't much want to have a fun scary time lol #on account of ''if it's scary at all then why would that be fun''....which is certainly still not the way i feel or have felt. so #as always a test has been ''what horror stuff that i've experienced might i like Recommend / do i feel i really actually liked''#and there's nonzero stuff in there probably but more niche and/or in different forms than usual A Movie format...#thinking of how when there's horror for kids it's like. well you can't do as much Physical Violence and that's like. mostly who cares.#if ''wouldn't it be scary if someone was trying to physically hurt you'' is a Foundation out here like. yes. yes that would be scary...#and ig that's why it's like...sure used always lol like well yes it would always be scary. like going ''isn't death scary'' like; Often Sure #hardly the only perspective individually or culturally but it is a collective unknown & smthing nobody has power over so. yeah?#and yet when it's like ''a guy is determined to kill you w/a knife: fucked up or no'' like yes but my god lmfao i don't care?? ugh #w/kids there's so much that pretty much All Of Them lack control over. like their own lives for one even harder than re: adults lol #being aware that their path through daily life is set out / monitored by certain adults but that there's certainly more unknown stuff beyond #and that there's a lot they don't / can't yet Get abt how plenty of stuff in the world works;#lots of stuff that's Reliable but you could go ''but what if it changed & got weird'' abt lol; that there's only so much they can do like #directly on their own & plenty of that also adds the layer of [but you gotta go outside The Rules to do it] like another thing to worry abt #is Getting In Trouble with the adults hypothetically looking out for you (you hope; but also don't really have control over at all)....#anyways then it's time for What's Scary To Adults & then it's like: people who are poor...people who are disabled...people who are in a #suburb who don't belong there; menacing you...imperiled virginal innocence of a white girl...trans people...women who aren't sexy to me....#i mean Etc Etc yet that's not even the half of it for me to then go ''etc etc'' abt lmao. hope this isn't reactionary as fuck and/or from #the perspex of a lot of privileged men in a genre that amps up ''what threatens you'' btw hope nobody goes for voyeuristic power fantasies #repeated for emphasis: hope revelling in threatening & attacking women isn't a whole stablished thing in the genre....fingers crossed haha..#also I Dunno About This re: using horror for like. narratives with character arcs lol like. a whole side topic...v Individualism Time #not saying idk i think it should never be done but also that just overlaps a lot with ''we sure abt this [making negative experiences into a #The Scary Thing metaphor]'' like the handling of that so often....makes you think. we sure about this execution here or #anyways not like ''hope no media in this genre is fucked up abt gender/sexuality/race/class/disability/etc'' is unique to This genre lol #just sure is a genre that Elevates things & can go ''well it's not meant to Be Reality'' &/or ''well it's meant to seem unpleasant'' or such #anyways i don't think i'm an Authority i know im being annoyed mostly by Hollywood Media in a realm lol shocking (and stuff derived from it)#(oh also booo to stephen king books imho...which by god Get Adapted lmao) furthermore like A Broad Topic & i can't do an academic study.....#running out of room see i'm just pondering. i'm just Tumbling The Thoughts around in the dryer. yeehaw #as someone who has always been interested in / enjoyed horror....can't tell u hardly any specific works i've been interested in / enjoyed #in years lol. well i'm out of tags. interest in / enjoyment of Horror now more In Theory than In Practice lmao
