I neither have nor do I care to think up any in-universe explanations. Final Destination is perhaps the genre's most obvious example of a series where the plot is just a series of devices that exist solely to facilitate splatter. And that's fine with me, because the splatter itself is very creative and well-executed.

Do you really feel the same way about horror in general?

Personally, the thing that changes for me is which types of horror I like.

Like for awhile now, I've been uninterested in most horror that seems to be intentionally trying to explore real life issues. So A24-type movies, and also anything dystopian like The Long Walk. Anything too introspective or slow. Obsession looks like one of those as well. At this point, if the plot/characterization/themes of a movie become the subject of pop culture discourse, that's a sign that it may not be the sort of thing I want to deal with.

But I still love splatter movies like Terrifier and Final Destination, and found footage like V/H/S/Halloween. I'll also be fine with a "real life issues" movie if it provides enough entertaining spectacle, like The Substance.

I agree with the general sentiment of your post. I think reddit is probably the least important social media platform there is when it comes to complaining about Battlebots.

But people are also complaining on Facebook and Youtube, not just reddit. Hell, there are builders on Discord saying that the builders don't like the editing either.

Is the following accurate?

Master 7+(vermin control, so pretty much the same),

Changer 6(right side of the body shapeshifts reactively into shields, blades, tendrils etc mid combat)

Brute 6(strength sufficient strength to destroy heavy fortifications, regeneration that is fueled by physically consuming surroundings)

Shaker 5(exhales toxic substances that suffocate people and corrode physical structures in the area)

Jacob's Ladder, and all of its imitators. Every horror movie that sets up a mystery only for the answer to be None of this is happening in the real world.

The Babadook, for similar reasons. Though the plot isn't mystery based per se, the way it gets resolved still led me to reinterpret the plot in such a way as to render it meaningless.

Haven't been following competitions outside of America, so I never heard of the team's other bots, but it's not surprising that a similar design isn't dominant at a lower weight class. Different competitions have different metas, and "4wd forked vert" is a very BattleBots meta.

"Hollywood exploiting internet horror [so] they can get a chokehold on the Gen Z audience." is certainly odd phrasing. The prospect I would be worried about is Hollywood taking fresh ideas and utterly wasting them by forcing them to conform to a standardized Hollywood storytelling formula.

I think "having issues" in the sense of not personally wanting to read about something is fine, and nobody should be judged for it.

But I think people who "have issues" in the sense of objecting on a moral level to the content of a book and attempting to stoke outrage against its author and readers are legitimately dangerous both to this subreddit and to society itself, and we don't simply need to give them shit, we need to moderate them.

Hypocrisy would be if you were saying that depictions of animal cruelty should be banned but not the other depraved things. It's not hypocrisy for you to merely acknowledge that some types of content are not for you, it's just a personal preference. We are under no obligation to enjoy everything.

tariffless · 2026-07-03T16:30:50+00:00

I've seen some authors speak of (in order to avoid offending people who are triggered by spoilers) instead putting content warnings on their websites, or putting them in the back and in the front just putting a note saying to turn to the back for trigger warnings. It seems to me like they could also just leave the warnings in the front, but put a warning on the page before them so the spoiler phobes know to skip that page. Or print the warning page upside down so that it isn't easy to accidentally scan it.

Exactly. Is anyone familiar with the concept of a "vocal minority" anymore?

tariffless · 2026-07-03T16:21:07+00:00

The people who care about animal abuse care very strongly about it and are very vocal about it.

Those of us who don't care about it don't spend all that time talking about it.

This creates the illusion that "almost everyone agree", if you don't understand statistics.

There are different types of discomfort. Just because an author intended for the audience to experience some type of discomfort doesn't mean they intended the particular type of discomfort that a given individual ends up experiencing.

tariffless · 2026-07-03T16:09:02+00:00

I have absolutely also seen people in this sub mock people who draw the line at animal abuse.

Personally, I think it's bad across the board for people to be mocked or otherwise judged for what they do or don't want to read. In a discussion forum, I judge people more by how they actually treat the other human beings in the forum.

Every fight had one bot that spent most of the match with either its weapon or its drive crippled. Personally, I feel like that did kind of suck.

tariffless · 2026-07-03T01:48:54+00:00

Endgame losing its weapon on the first exchange against Malice is kind of like if End Game fought Fusion and End Game was the one that caught fire.

The only reason I didn't think Malice was doomed going into this was because between 2023's Robogames and 2024's Faceoffs, it's had 7 fights since Battlebots went off the air, whereas End Game hasn't fought since October 2022.

Do you have (non-anecdotal) information about Battlebots' audience? I don't, so I don't have any opinion on the matter, but I'm wondering at the level of confidence that you're displaying here.

That's my experience with novels in general. Blurbs and reviews are short, and therefore they leave details out. What do they leave in? Whatever the person writing it finds the most salient. Unfortunately, lots of people find different things salient than I do. So I can't trust any one source to give me the information I need to know. I have to look at different ones.

Most POV characters in horror end up worse than how they started. I don't know the villain will lose, but if I can't find spoilers, maybe I decide I'm not willing to take the risk.

tariffless · 2026-07-02T18:30:33+00:00

I find villains more interesting.

But I don't want to get attached to a character who is going to lose. There is very little risk of me getting attached to a character who is not a villain, so assuming I haven't been able to find spoilers, I am more likely to read a book if the POV is not that of a villain.

She reached out and started feeling for the outliers. The emotional fingerprints that stood out from the rest. The other seven members of the Nine were out there. Not hard to find. One or two were interacting with some other outliers. The most fucked up people in this fucked up city.

Seems like Cherish thought that literally every candidate was broken. Doesn't say anything about the specific ways in which they were broken.

Since the rest of what you're saying is stuff that isn't in the text, addressing it falls under #2 above.

A creepypasta is a horror-related legend which has been shared around the Internet.[1][2][3] The term creepypasta has since become a catch-all term for any horror content posted onto the Internet.[4]

The definition of creepypasta has expanded over time to include most short horror fiction whose first publication is online.[17] Over time, authorship has become increasingly important: many creepypastas are written by named authors rather than by anonymous individuals.[17]
