They both had the same outcome.

The reason you're more afraid is because the thing that causes the person's head to disappear or be smashed or whatever is obviously more powerful, probably more aggressive,

And you get a cue from that because it takes a lot of power to remove someone's head or smash someone's head.

It takes a lot of aggression to do that.

And so you do get cues about how dangerous something is from bodily injuries and not just predators or villains, but even diseases, right?

Like even medical curiosities, I think, would fall into this.

Doctors and nurses have to have some morbid curiosity about how the body works and how things go wrong in order to be interested in their job.

It sounds so clinical, right?

Yeah.

I tried to enact some changes that ended up not happening with that, you know, about showing gross stuff and like how you censor certain words.

And I don't know if it's still the case, but it used to be the case that if you type in horror, like on Facebook or Instagram, you would get a pop up and interstitial that says, hey, is everything OK?

And I was like, you can't do that to people who are not actively suicidal because you can push someone to become that way if they're not.

And they're just looking for like a horror group or something, you know, a horror Facebook page or something.

But if you're telling me I'm not okay... Only gross, horrifically sick people watch this.

It's that same kind of thing, right?

Yeah.

And I think it comes from a good place.

It's okay, we're trying to prevent people who are...

suicidal or might harm themselves from seeing things that might influence i think it does come from a good place it was just done with such a broad brush and without knowledge of like oh not everyone who does this has something wrong it just shows again that people have this intuition that if you're searching for something like that there must be something wrong with you right

Yeah, yeah.
