Nothing.

I’m absolutely open-minded.

You could all do well to emulate me on this point.

THIS and films. Even films I’ve seen that I really enjoyed like Miyazaki films, I can’t get away from this weird creepy feeling when I’m watching them.

It’s because when I was little I stumbled across lots of films that I thought were just nice cartoons and then was met with some horrible images. One of them a guy had a corn on the cob shoved up his ass. WHAT? Akira was on the tv and the image of a seeing the life drain from a guys face in that as he bled out was not good. Not at all :scream: Uuggghh, there were so many. Bad BAD.

Just waiting for @Ruffers to back me up here.

Genuinely, I don’t get anything from that stuff anymore. Spent a long time studying history and archaeology, both in academia and in my own time, and I remember fucking EVERYTHING. My memory is like a fucking vice and is filled with the horrors of humanity at all times.

If I’m watching or listening to anything I need it to cheer me up, not bring me down.

Actually, and obviously, there’s tons of stuff that puts me off.

Another crime drama about a guy killing young women? Oooh, how different, tell me more.

Someone has made this joke already but it’s a very good one so don’t worry about it too much.

Haven’t got time to read have I

I won’t click ‘Play’ (the triangle bit in the middle) on this video.

Occasionally come across (fnar) card game penoids playing on stuff like this:

(and that’s not even a particularly egregious example)

and it’s like… mate even the other card game nerds are looking down their noses at you. Get a fucking grip.
