Hey, horror community. Here’s your daily reminder that someone talking about the horror films they like is not an invitation for you to insult their taste and try to get them to watch something they are uncomfortable with.

My limit with gore pretty much ends with the Terrifier franchise. I won’t watch anything gorier than that because I know I probably wouldn’t be able to handle it. Some people have even smaller limits and that’s okay. It’s completely normal and okay to have boundaries when it comes to what horror movies you want to watch.

If I say, “Yeah, my favorite horror movie is The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, but I’m a big fan of more modern movies too, like Hereditary or Terrifer.”

That is NOT an invitation for you to try to coax me into trying to watch A Serbian Film or something else that’s equally as fucked up.

Instead of saying something like, “Man, your movie taste is shit. That’s nothing compared to [insert movie here].”

You should say something more like this: “Oh, that’s cool.”

And leave it at that.

I’m really not interested in watching edge lord horror movies. I have a limit. I know my limit. And guess what? It’s normal for people to have limits. Just because I like a gorey movie like Terrifier 2 doesn’t mean I want to watch something beyond that.

Horror isn’t a competition on who can sit through the most gut wrenching stuff.

When I say my favorite horror movie is a 70s slasher, I’m not looking for an argument where I have to defend myself against some angry guy on the internet.

If you’re reading this (especially if you’re new to horror), remember what I said. Horror isn’t a competition. Don’t feel pressured to watch something you’re uncomfortable with. Enjoy your slasher films, enjoy your psychological films, your grindhouse films, etc., etc. Just don’t feel like you have to expose yourself to something you don’t feel comfortable watching.

(Also another note: People’s limits have a lot to do with subject matter as well. I can watch Terrifier but still to this day one of the Saw movies makes me extremely sick, even though it has less gore. It’s all about context and subject matter. For example, I used to be terrified of the Child’s Play series when I was younger but I had no issue watching Hellraiser when I was younger. )

HA! An alt. FNAF movie version of my OC Wanda(Don’t judge me) in Celeste. She’ll be ok, she’ll just have over 2 million deaths under her belt by the halfway point.

The last character you drew/wrote about is now stuck in the last game you played. How screwed are they?

anyway here is a summary of my panel with hiroaki kawakami, a japanese lawyer who legally represents many LGBT+ individuals and movements:

legally there is nothing protecting same sex marriage in japan, HOWEVER currently different lawsuits are making their way to the supreme court. while a lot of the supreme court officials are very conservative, because the japanese economy also relies on good relations with foreign countries they are receiving a lot of pressure from younger generations and those investors to find compromise

the sad thing is that transgender individuals (like the united states) are becoming a scapegoat from many political sectors and the recipient of a lot of political and digital harassment

HOWEVER. the general japanese public is in favor of LGBT+ rights/respect (70% of the country reported to be in support of the legalization and protection of gay marriage) and obviously the work of queer activist/organization groups has not gone unnoticed

currently one big issue faced by queer activist groups in japan is that they are not televised or reported on - the younger generation is communicating via social medias like tiktok and this has allowed for some shift in the narrative. especially as this allows national attention which (in the words of the speaker, not mine) japanese legislators and investors do care about

when i asked what it is we can do best for our friends in japan, he said that publicizing the lives and stories of LGBT+ individuals in japan, talking about the positive effects of protections for LGBT+ individuals would have on the country and express desire publicly for such a thing to happen, as well as general words of support/kinship - these things are what we can best do as those outside the country (according to him!)

its extremely heartwarming as well as a bit bittersweet that we are fighting similar battles in different countries, i hope that in the future we can all have good news to share with eachother

I just dreamt that I finished my book series and it became wildly popular but instead of hoarding the wealth, I used it to fund Gender Reassignment Surgery in the NHS and undo all of JK R*wlings terfy work so I guess I have a new life goal now cause I proper cackled when I woke

Honestly I just thought this specific panel was neat
