Rules for Posting Guides on Our Community

1. Defining a Guide Guides are comprehensive reference materials, how-tos, or comparison tables. A guide must be well-organized both in content and layout. Information should be easily accessible without unnecessary navigation. Guides can include flowcharts, step-by-step instructions, or visual references that compare different elements side by side.

2. Infographic Guidelines Infographics are permitted if they are educational and informative. They should aim to convey complex information visually and clearly. However, infographics that primarily serve as visual essays without structured guidance will be subject to removal.

3. Grey Area Moderators may use discretion when deciding to remove posts. If in doubt, message us or use downvotes for content you find inappropriate.

4. Source Attribution If you know the original source of a guide, share it in the comments to credit the creators.

5. Diverse Content To keep our community engaging, avoid saturating the feed with similar topics. Excessive posts on a single topic may be moderated to maintain diversity.

6. Verify in Comments Always check the comments for additional insights or corrections. Moderators rely on community expertise for accuracy.

Unpopular opinion: I hate horror.

[–] LeonenTheDK@lemmy.ca 20 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Personally I only dislike the horror that's purely for jump scares/shock/gore. I find it cheap and not engaging.

[–] dudewitbow@lemmy.ml 10 points 1 year ago

Theres a line between those/slashers and psycological horror, which is probably more in your alley.

I love shitty jump scare horror when I’m faced on molly for some reason. Otherwise I like slow burn horror.

What do you hate about it?
I'm generally just uninterested in genres I don't enjoy, save for movies that instill and spread hate and intolerance or try to pass off falsehoods as fact.

I hate horror just because I cannot withstand it and begin panicking. It's damn too stressful, esp. when there's too much stress IRL. That's what I meant.

[–] wols@lemm.ee 4 points 1 year ago

That's fair enough, thanks for elaborating!

I don't like the stress/strain sensations it puts my body through. It's not enjoyable. Being scared isn't fun.

Yeah most horror movies I've watched are plain and boring.

But how else will you not sleep tonight?
