Notes -
There's certain content -- certain types of gore, certain furry content, etc -- that gives me "the ick".
Sometimes I remember that many people get the same "ick" feeling from anime art in general, particularly the type of anime art that gets criticized as "overly-sexualized".
What are some times when you were reminded of the unbridgeable gap between different modes of perception?
ASMR. My wife watches cooking shorts on Facebook and they feature both TikTok editing (which is simply annoying) and ASMR sound, with all the slicing, scraping, sizzling, slurping sounding like it's happening right next to your ear.
She doesn't notice the difference, but I can't stand them. And some people are paying for recordings where they can hear a woman's tongue unstick from her hard palate.
EWWWW!
That's another of those things that causes instant ctrl-w for me. I'm not bothered by those sounds in the real world since they're only occasional but that entire video format deserves to die a quick but extremely painful death.
