I’m just gonna say it straight if your entire taste in media revolves around gore, you’re settling for the lowest form of stimulation.
Gore is basically the fast food of entertainment. It’s not there to make you think, feel, or connect it’s there to give you a cheap shock and move on. No depth, no substance, just “look how far we can push this.”
And yeah, before someone says it there is a difference between well-made horror and mindless gore. Tension, atmosphere, psychological fear? That’s actual craft. But if the highlight of what you’re watching is how disgusting or extreme it gets, that’s not taste that’s desensitization.
Also, let’s be real: needing more and more extreme content just to feel something isn’t a flex. It’s the opposite. It shows your baseline is fried.
At some point you either evolve past cheap thrills or stay stuck chasing them.
Thoughts?
