no. never. what a weird idea. that would never occur to me in a million years.

I have intentionally avoided absorbing information for many reasons but not this one.

No. If I thought an idea was dangerous I would be more likely to try to find out about it.

I do not believe that anything I might read could actually harm me. But there is a lot that could annoy me, and even more that could bore me to tears. Same goes for watching stuff.

No.

If you will indulge me, when I wanted to read Blatty's The Exorcist for a book report in 6th grade, the teacher suggested I get my parent's permission. They just laughed at the idea that one needed permission to read a book.

No.

No, but as a child I believed that seeing a ghost on TV would bring it into my house.

Any sunday religious broadcast.. I don't think it would infect me.. but not willing to take that chance..

Not because its too dangerous per se but I won't watch Saw, hostel, human centipede or that torture porn style of hyper realistic gore horror. Not because it's too scary or even too gorey but Im a highly sensitive person under certain circumstances and that kind of viscera combined with anticipation just sets off all sorts of empathetic mirror neurons and makes me feel ill all over. Not in a nauseated throwin up way but more like im going through their trauma with them and every instinct is on red alert/crisis mode. Its weird. But i consider pure shock value content like that to be the cheapest bullshit device in all of horror though so Im also creatively offended by movies that rely on it.

I can handle all the gore in the world if its zombies or grindhouse or action films but I don't ever want to see hyper realistic or completely realistic snuff films. Wont seek out or watch ISIS vids either. Never want to be desensitized to violence enough that Id want to. If I had to, I'm pretty sure I could kill someone in self defense and sleep like a baby easier than getting to a place that I would want to watch it for fun.

No.
