As if I’m just “choosing” to be upset by those things and it’s not for a legitimate reason or because something actually happened?
Are those even normal or typical things for people to enjoy? Because this is a reaction I’ve gotten more than once.

I also never said other people can’t find those things interesting or anything, I just don’t like being exposed to that type of content because it legitimately triggers me and scares me.

I am with you on that. Everything to me is a potential situation that can happen to me. This is why l chose to move back with someone, l prefer it to being alone. You and l could write a 500 page book on our life atrocities l bet.

The biggest take away for me is the amount of people who target woman for their money, or to hustle them, and or abuse them or all of the above. The other take away- is that woman have been incredibly hostile and abusive to me, something that caught me off guard. But l suffered from this with my own mother who didn't want me in the house.

It can be amazing how closed-minded people are about the real darkness in life. That's one reason I've stayed in the field I'm in: to be acquainted with that darkness, which I see as an obligation if we should make the world better.

Also, most "torture porn" movies suck :P Seems like a strange battle to pick.

The bit about movies and such, honestly a lot of times that's a "toxic fan" thing. It's basically "you dont like what I like and I'm always right, therefore you must be objectively wrong".

And generally someone like that not only wont care about WHY you might like it, they'll probably not even register what you're saying. Exactly why I dont discuss things like shows or games or whatever with people.
