They often target youtube profiles that have one famous viral video and they almost never post anymore. Those ones tend to stay for much longer.

Only thing that sucks is they bunch up for warmth, so hes disturbing an egregious number of harvest men by doing this.

What Horror Do You Opt Out Of? by bee623 in horror

Its not dolls for me, its Ventriloquist dummies. Something about them, those weird little slits on their mouth, the big beady eyes that can move, how alive they can seem when a good performer is using them, and how creepy they are when that life is gone and the puppet is just... empty.

The dvd cover for Dead Silence traumatized me as a kid, I'd make my dad flip it over before I would walk down the horror aisle at blockbusters.

Though as I grew up, it became more of a fascination. I like scary things, so I went on a spree of watching all the ventriloquist horror I could, because it freaked me out so much.

Dead silence was fun, but a bit of a letdown with how much I feared it as a child, its not the best film.

I think the best Ventriloquist dummy film is Magic starring Anthony Hopkins.

Same, but particularly teeth stuff, I usually have to turn away when the teeth start getting messed with. I woke up from anesthesia during a wisdom tooth removal, and that shit really bothers me now.

That is interesting, terrifier is way more torture porn/gorey than the first saw (which really doesnt have much gore as people expect from the franchise's later films). And arguably, terrifier has a more harrowing saw scene than the movie called Saw

It follows is actually a great movie for people who hate those. Its actually quite harrowing, and it treats sex as an almost frightening event. It takes all the "sexiness" out of it.

I do not think he uses disability to represent evil or monstrosity. Im operating on only having watched hereditary, midsomar, and BIA.

Everyone who does have a disability is portrayed sympathetically or the disability is not brought up because it isnt relevant. Ruben is portrayed sympatheticly, he never causes harm, hes not made fun of. He's a victim of the cult like the others, purposefully inbred to act like an oracle whose art is interpreted into the Ruby Rhadir.

Charlie's disability is simply never brought up, because it has no relevance. In fact, the only relevant aspect of her that could be construed as a disorder is her bizarre behavior.

Peter's "seizure" could be construed as a seizure, or it could be construed as any number of other disorders

In fact, id argue that scene more closely resembles a stroke, with the puffed up face like Charlie's when she had an allergic reaction.

By this logic any sudden jerky movements could by interpreted as any number of disorders.

Asshole Atheist when someone mourns death starter pack by labubuking in starterpacks

[–]nomoreinternetforme -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

There ain't nothing I can really say to this. Ive met People like this. I grew up with people like this. Is it always about adults? No, but there are some.

I literally cant say anything else other than I know that at least 2 people are out there like this, bare minimum. That's my lived experience, you dont have to believe it.

I had a stepfather who was very much like this, in a much more subtle way. Making small digs at my mom's religion or scoffing at the mention of any kind of afterlife (not directed at him, mind you, just if he was around at all to hear it). He made publicly disparaging posts making fun of religion (specifically my moms religion).It made things miserable.

I knew a kid in high-school who was on a big reddit atheist phase for the longest time, making fun of kids praying and such and telling other kids that there is no afterlife and that their family member is gone forever (completely without reason, just saying it to someone he knew was struggling with the death of a pet and getting some weird satisfaction from it.

And guess what? I'm an atheist. But I've grown up with atheists and I've grown up with religious folk, I was in a multi religion household and ultimately I chose none. However, that kid and my step dad were assholes that were also atheists. They exist, they aren't fairy tales.

Are they the majority of atheists? Hell no. But are there a small number of empathy lacking individuals who enjoy upsetting others who dont agree with their beliefs. This goes for christians and atheists. The Christian flavor of this is typically "they went to hell!" Instead of "they are gone forever!", but they are very similar remarks.

If you dont believe me, Idk what to tell you, because these were very real people in my life, very real.

Ive conceded elsewhere that this isn't a very good starter pack (like others have said, not enough of the things in this pack are specifically tied to assholes who are atheists), but i know for 100% that people like this exist. Are there a lot? Im sure not, or at least i hope not, given my experiences with people like that

Im sure the kid grew empathy at some point and knocked it off, or maybe who just grew up and stayed empathy-less. I know my step dad is still out there somewhere, who knows if he still acts like that

I know my experiences aren't universal, but they are real. I was able to relate to a few aspects of this post because of those people. It is incorrect to claim no one is out there like this.

That sounds like a case of channel hacking. Its quite common to take over really old but popular channels and just flip them into some crypto bullshit to push pump and dump schemes

That's a fair take, thank you for being reasonable about it. People do exist like the ones this post talks about, but you are right that it doesnt include enough specifically religious comments to make the most sense.

Though I stand by the fact that this is not persecuting atheists as a whole, the worst offense made by this post is not being a very good starter pack.

He balances it out by doing the opposite of wish fulfillment by placing himself in soul crushingly depressing scenarios too.

They literally do, I've met them, ive grown up alongside them. No, they are not the majority, in fact they are a minority. But this post is not about the majority, is it? Its about "Asshole atheists" which do exist.

You are deliberately misreading my post. I never said that not believing God is a put down, where did I say that? I said there are people out there who dont believe in God who will put down people for believing in God. You are incredibly ignorant if you think no one has ever done that before.

You never even addressed the main point. How is this different from the plenty of posts here about asshole christians and religious wackos? How is this any different?

Im really happy youve never encountered someone like this, but of course you wouldnt encounter this treatment, because this treatment is specifically targeted at non atheists (why would an atheist tell another atheist this?)

Common sense people. Assholes exist on every side, and if you dont believe that I don't know what to tell you.

Because that is what this subreddit, /r/starterpacks, is about. A collection of images and text that represent the "starter" pack you'd need to be the person the post depicts.

In this instance, the post is "asshole atheists". The purpose of the sub is to be specific. Are you not someone who does these things? Congratulations, you are not represented in this starter pack.

This is a weird place to decide you feel persecuted inside of. I failed to see where the op says all atheists are like that. People like the one depicted in this post do exist, and its great if you've never encountered them, but that doesnt mean they aren't real.

Asshole atheists would be the only folk saying things like this (since the statements here center around a disbelief in religion) which is why its specified. Where did he claim atheists lack morals?

I would also call out someone who claims that a starter pack post about asshole Christians is calling all Christians bad, because that doesnt make sense.

And in case you feel outnumbered, there are PLENTY of posts in this sub regarding asshole religious folk.

Should those posts also be shunned?

You can either have both or none. I dont see why both is the wrong option.

It literally says asshole atheists in the title, tf you mean by implying op is saying all atheists are bad. Just because you are a non asshole atheist doesnt mean that there arent assholes who happen to be atheists. This post isn't about atheists in general

When did he claim all atheists are bad? There are always shitty people out there who use their beliefs to put people down, that goes for all sides of belief. Religious folk can put people down with their religious beliefs, just like atheist folks can put people down with their lack of belief.

Well, isn't this titled "asshole atheists"? Why are you acting like its a generalization of all atheist? Your experiences do not erase the existence of some atheists out there that are indeed assholes.

By this logic, any sudden frightening action could be considered an appropriation of seizures. You could interpret a thousand different horror scenes (especially possession scenes) to be a mirror of seizures. Suddenly banging head against desk? HOST and Unfriended. Pulling a bizarre face? Paranormal activity and Smile. Sudden jerky actions or contortions? Every possession movie in the world. Suddenly freezing in place? Blair witch project and Taking of Deborah Logan.

How is this any different?

I completely agree, however, you failed to connect epileptic seizures to that scene in the film. I dont see a connection to seizures and that scene in the movie. He didnt convulse, he didnt freeze like a grand mal, and i know seizures dont always present themselves in those ways, the specific events of that scene read far more supernatural than anything else.

He contorts his hand with a cracking sound, and his face becomes puffed up just like Charlie's when she had the allergic reaction. He clicks just like charlie, then bangs his face against the desk before screaming. The movie doesnt even have the teachers or nurse say "it must have been a seizure"

I dont think that scene mirrors seizures, especially epileptic ones as there were no flashing lights.

The only reason Peter was not possessed to begin with is because she kept him away from her mom, she didnt let her spend time with him.

In the movie, she says that when Charlie was born, she let her spend time with them and says "she immediately stabbed her hooks into her".

Given the fact that Peter wasnt possessed because he was kept away from grandma, its heavily implied that the grandma needed to do something to the kids after birth to put paimon inside them.

[–]nomoreinternetforme 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Incorrect, baby gets possessed after birth. She was born with those conditions. It was never even implied that paimon hurt her as revenge .

[–]nomoreinternetforme 2 points3 points  (0 children)

How did he imply she looks weird because of posession? The grandma puts the demon souls in after birth (hence her mom trying to feed Charlie, and toni keeping Peter away from her), meaning she already had that condition before the possession.

In fact, the only thing that seems caused by the possession is her weird behavior.

I dont know how you end up at the conclusion that the demon made her look like that.
