HORROR THREAD Anonymous 37754[Reply]

I'm in a spooky mood so I wanted to ask this board what's your favorite horror media, what horror are you playing/watching/reading rn. I'm thinking of starting Clock Tower 3 personally

Anonymous 37756

Oh shiit I loved clock tower 1.

I also really liked Puppet Combo games, he does all these ps1 graphic style short horrors, but he goes overboard with the graphic effects sometimes I guess.

so why did scrotes blame her for the heinous act of having to deal with an abusive husband to the point they harassed her actress over it?

Anonymous 31901

Because most men misinterpereted the story about a man's pride getting him into a situation he couldn't handle, instead as another story about rising and grinding and not letting haters (especially the "bitchy" ones) get in their way.
It's a similar case as what happened with Wolf Of Wallstreet.

She received a good bit of online harrassment for the character. Nothing on the level of troons vs JK Rowling but still.

Anonymous 31907

>>31901
its so annoying because the show is a nice story but so many people missed the point that the main character is not supposed to be a good person or a role model
>>31903
they are, she even wrote a new york times piece about it

https://www.nytimes.com/2013/08/24/opinion/i-have-a-character-issue.html

heres some excerpts of it

>But I was unprepared for the vitriolic response she inspired. Thousands of people have “liked” the Facebook page “I Hate Skyler White.” Tens of thousands have “liked” a similar Facebook page with a name that cannot be printed here. When people started telling me about the “hate boards” for Skyler on the Web site for AMC, the network that broadcasts the show, I knew it was probably best not to look, but I wanted to understand what was happening.


>At some point on the message boards, the character of Skyler seemed to drop out of the conversation, and people transferred their negative feelings directly to me. The already harsh online comments became outright personal attacks. One such post read: “Could somebody tell me where I can find Anna Gunn so I can kill her?” Besides being frightened (and taking steps to ensure my safety), I was also astonished: how had disliking a character spiraled into homicidal rage at the actress playing her?


>But I finally realized that most people’s hatred of Skyler had little to do with me and a lot to do with their own perception of women and wives. Because Skyler didn’t conform to a comfortable ideal of the archetypical female, she had become a kind of Rorschach test for society, a measure of our attitudes toward gender.

I think it has to do with the character's demeanor, regardless of the fact that she was in the right for trying to get away from Walt. It's proof that framing and presentation in fiction is a lot more powerful than the actual actions of said character.

>I hate him for his books and lectures targeted at the average person yes, although i havent read his books - only watched reviews and all that.
I'm not really certain how to take this. I personally also watch reviews, but I've never considered myself as having an informed opinion about the subject matter just because I listened to someone else talk about it. Not saying that's wrong, it just didn't occur to me that people do this.
>Humans are not that predictable.
Really depends on what you're testing. For example, any human, anywhere, will react the exact same to a snake making a striking motion, even if there's a plane of glass separating the person from the snake. It's not a conscious response, there is no "There is a snake, the snake is striking, I will back away from the snake." It is physically impossible for a human to prevent themselves from going back because the circuits that activate that reflex occur before the conscious mind has even registered a snake is moving.

As far as mass behavior, maybe you have a point about history, but Jordan Peterson from various comments also believes that history is a very potent source of information for behavior and how people operate, I don't know where you got the idea that he completely dismisses it.

Anonymous 21531

>>21529
Thinking about not only does he actually agree with the importance of studying history, it's already integrated into his worldview, politics and his main line of theory in Maps of Meaning. So not only does Jordan Peterson agree with you it's already integrated into his main theory.

I also wonder how he can say all that stuff about history being super important, but then have completely retarded takes on politics.

Postmodernism is shit.

Anonymous 22041

I think modern philosophy is too obsesed with politics and materialism. Nihilists reject dualism almost by default despite neither science nor modern philosophy ever being able to even advance our understanding of the mind in hundreds of years.

Both are cute but I like aspects from both like the subtle blush on the right one as wel as the more detailed hair (even though thats all you changed lol)

I see you broke up the silhouette of the hair on the right, probably don't do that because it makes it much more cluttered and hard to look at. I would also suggest adding more detail to just the bangs so the piece doesn't feel unfinished and the transition from less to more detailed isn't so jarring

but idk I migh tbe talking out my ass

1. pointless tech scheme forms
2. tech scheme turns into tech trend, initial investors make bank off of trend
3. every idiot in the tech sector wants to get in on it and integrate it into their systems without understanding what it is, what it does, or how they could profit off of it (YOU ARE HERE)
4. tech trend crashes and burns once investors realize how much money they lost

I just can't take it seriously which is fitting because the creator didn't take it seriously either. If you only engage with it during times of hype like the broly movie and ignore it otherwise, it can be fun but I'd never really get into it because there just isn't much depth there.

PDF Dump Thread Anonymous 24751[Reply]

I don't think crystal.cafe has ever had one before in it's whole history (although as an imageboard the posting format would support it I assume). I suppose this can serve as a place to just dump any pdf you might have, be it fiction, nonfiction, biographies, cook books, manuals. Really anything that is a pdf. I think this would also serve as a good place for us to exchange our literature, especially for the more GC oriented posters.

English
>Education level
Bachelors
>Social class
Raised upper working class, middle class now.
>Speech disorder
I did see a speech therapist when I started school but I think that was because I seldom spoke, not because I sounded strange.
>Nice voice
I hope so.
