    Because horror has degraded to appealing to children that think thin men are scary and oogie boogie walking around a corner making your sanity meter deplete is horror.

      this. true horror is simply reminding a man that the age of consent exists and that he's been programmed from birth to worship it, to unnaturally rearrange his sexuality around a completely arbitrary number and even lash out violently at men who don't share his particular affliction

      now that's true horror... to have your prepubescent little girl wife ripped from your arms by the feminist white woman movement. to literally be oppressed, forced to play pretend with subpar, disgusting roasties and never actually feel true love because all women over 10 are unlovable at a biological level

            fricked up thing is unbeknownst to both they were acually within several blocks of one another when the shit went down AND the mail followed the flight path of her plane. She was literally in the same city he was at the time he an heroed

            Not to get /x/ but something paranormal was attactched to that incident. She even made a song cryptically alluding to him after the fact

      I can see how being raised on the Internet and modern gaming would make you anxious seeing empty, innocuous rooms, since you expect something must be in them, which means it's hiding in them, like a shit bricks picture.

          If you've even been to a hospital at night or a bandoned shopping mall/hotel, it's subconsciously creepy because you're so used to these places being filled with people and loud.

          Are they're terrifying? No but a bit unsettling.

      Because there are so many troons, zoomers, and roasties that lurk this website 24/7 so they can immediately post anything on here offsite as fast as possible.

      The Don't talk about Ganker rule should have been real and not just a Fight Club meme, then again most of you homosexuals wouldn't be on the site otherwise. There's no real way to stop it besides that, the internet is like one village now so anything that happens is known and ruined by everybody within a week.

        God, I wish. I'm not sure what the bigger cancer is, the people that came here from israelitetube videos and epic greentext stories or the american political tourists. What really irritates me is how every piece of information is instantaneous and spreads like a wildfire until the next piece of trivial garbage is chewed up and spit out. Cell phones with internet access were a mistake and I'd 100% go back in time to assassinate Steve Jobs when he's doing his infamous song and dance number with his gayphone

    Recently, the advent of mascot horror has created a motive in developers to create horror characters that can be cheaply and quickly merchandised and monetized to capture a younger audience. This, coupled with the popularity of liminal space media and a general decline in horror game development has created lean times for quality horror games both within and inside the indie sphere.

    Additionally, both online "activism" and ESG pressures have both made some themes in horror unpalatable to marketers and publishers as well as created efforts to whitewash existing horror properties or rewrite them in the name of intersectionality and alleged inclusivity.

    I stand with the opinion that video games is the perfect medium for the horror genre. The reason why it declined is because nowadays video games are trying too hard to be played like interactive movies rather than being it's own thing. Not a single recent Horror game got me on the edge of my seat as PT did, and all PT had was a couple of corridors
