I've been reading manhwas lately. Notably, I caught up with Shotgun Boy and finished Pigpen, both my Carnaby Kim. Yesterday, I finished #Killstagram by Ryoung. So while I was reading #Killstagram... I felt disgusted at the stalkers. Like really, it felt like ants were having a rave under my skin. Maybe it's the art? It looked quite cutesy then wham bam a mofo will appear. It gives quite the different vibe from Shotgun Boy where despite the monsters wearing human skin, you still know they're monsters. It's also a whole different feel from Sweet Home (also by Carnaby Kim) where the characters fight with monsters of assorted looks. The creepy people from #Killstagram really creeped the hell out of me. It's unlike the other titles I've read where I get jumpscared by scenes of weird monsters. I get surprised but feel more worried about the characters. But with creepy people, it makes my stomach churn thinking of the chances that out of 7 billion people, there might be someone like those. I guess I dislike creepy people more than creepy monsters.
That's a scary thought But as someone who notices looks more than anything else... I still find creepy monsters scarier
When my friends and I used to tell ghost stories at sleepovers, it was always the stories of criminals that creeped me out the most. I even screamed once because I didn’t realize one of the girls had left and when she came back, I thought she was an axe murderer coming to get us.
I use Misa Sensei's videos on Youtube to learn Japanese. One of the commenters went on a rant about how attractive she is and how that distracted him from being able to focus on the lesson. That was my first time ever feeling creeped out like that
some overly excessive fans do this and it's honestly quite terrifying if you think about it. Like there were multiple cases where fans find out their idols' phone number or their address and sell it online to others, fans writing letters to their idols using blood, and more. Imagine how they must feel receiving those.
Maybe some of those are filtered by the management. Still creepy... the extent they would do for people they supposedly admire... Some people just I dunno... poor friend, accused to be an axe murderer...
B-but... with those looks... I'd be able to spot them among the crowd right away and then quickly run away... They're not like the ordinary-on-the-outside-but-murderer-on-the-inside people you described!!
Well, the chances of running into a human lunatic is kind of way higher than running into a monster. Monsters would probably have a different feel to them if you were convinced they are real.
damn I was also really creeped out while reading Lookism... And yes creepy people are more disgusting than creepy monsters... Because monsters are meant to be creepy .... But humans are not meant to be like that......
Perhaps it's because monsters have different way of thinking, so just like how we see lions devouring an antelope, we think that's just how they work. That, until we meet them and find out that they are peaceful beings like us. For example, sea monsters in Disney's "Luca." Humans, on the other hand, are supposed to be the same as the rest of us. We're supposed to be able to understand the way they think, which makes them more reliable. But once they act outside the norm, it creates a distortion in our perspective, thus making creepy humans scarier than monsters.
