The horse wishes to penetrate me

Rundown: [community profile] rpanons is an anonymous community for role-play related topics. This place serves as a forum for game discussions, canon discussions, RP solicitations (ATP, game ads, open memes), and advice. The occasional off topic comment is inevitable, but please keep heated social and political topics to their respective communities. Posting them here will only get them frozen. Subsequent threads made to bypass a freeze will then be deleted.

Rules:

Do not post pornographic or shocking images.
Do not share private entries, plurks, chat logs, etc.
Do not use this community as your social/political/hatespeech soapbox.
Do not be redundant. One page does not need three or more threads on one topic/theme.
Do not treat this comm like your personal Plurk or Twitter. Off-topic happens, but it should be open for discussion and not just a play-by-play of your life. No one cares.

can you read

i never said it wasn't fun, i said it wasn't SCARY

which it isn't, because it's

not

real

would be scary if it was real? sure. but if you're IRL scared because of a fictional monster or ghost you have problems

you mean people think things are scary that you don't? or people believe different things than you?

next you're going to tell me something absurd like "people like different things" or "some people enjoy foods that i hate"

i agree that if you're running around washington screaming about lizard people you have a problem, but if you avoid going camping in the forest at night because you're scared by stories of skinwalkers, or if you believe in ghosts or aliens, who gives a shit?

i see no difference between those two examples

fear isn't rational dipshit

do you get feelings when you watch a movie or read a book? same shit

doesn't matter if it's real or not you're identifying with the characters in the moment and sometimes that sticks for a while the same way you'll get stuck feeling any other emotion after consuming fiction now and then

a lot of it is instinctual shit too or your brain not being able to process something in a rational way even if you know it's a movie

atmosphere and shit too

idk man they're called scary movies for a reason but i can promise you hardly anyone is running around afterwards thinking a ghost is after them like they might still be a little creeped out because of the biochemical reaction they had to the stuff in the movie but they're not scared of shit they know isn't real

but they're not scared of shit they know isn't real

yes they are they literally are

if the instinctual three year old inside you starts getting scared at a fictional monster the rational adult part of you needs to take over and remember that it's not real and it can't hurt you. if you're incapable of that there's something wrong with you.

no they're not? i can watch a movie and get scared shitless and spend the rest of the night paranoid but i'm not scared the thing from the movie is going to jump out and get me

i don't want the rational adult part to take over because i like being scared and that's the entire reason i suspended my disbelief and watched the scary movie to begin with

you watch the movie to get scared that is the entire point why would you ruin that by trying to be rational instead of just letting yourself get swept away in the emotion that you wanted to experience

if you don't get scary movies w/e but you're either being deliberately obtuse at this point or you are the most annoying pedantic nerd who does not understand fun or imagination at all and i feel sorry for you
