Title: What squicks you? (Not much, apparently)
Post by: Delcat on March 06, 2013, 04:40:14 am
Springboarding off of the "Episodes you couldn't get through" thread, what makes you, personally, reach for a bucket?  I'm curious to know.

Remember, squicks are not shame.  If someone is squicked by something that you like, don't take it personally.

I'm a fairly seasoned veteran, but tit-fucking makes me cross my arms over my chest if I so much as think about it.  Not titty-fucking, mind, slappin' a dong between a pair of jubblies is just fine in my book.  I mean fucking the tit itself.  The idea of having something stuffed into a huge pit of fat makes me physically squirm, exponentially more so if there's one of those cutaway pictures showing the dick inside the boob (these are woefully common).  This extends to anything being in a boob that shouldn't be in a boob (SUGAR DOES NOT GO THERE), but God, tit-fucking.

Force-feeding is my biggest physically possible squick, but it has to be fairly realistic for me to be affected by it.  Episodes like Yum, Slurp and Drool don't get me because it's more OOPS I'M FULL OF PUDDING HOW DID THAT HAPPEN TEE HEE than describing someone actually being force-fed--it's like they go straight to the stomach and skip the throat, which is the creepy choking part.  I think I can blame this pretty directly on this part of Phantasmagoria (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pAQ-C1suCEY).  It doesn't matter how cheap the acting is, just nope.  Nope nope nope nope.  Although I think the original video I watched was taken down from the LP it was connected to because it got too many comments like these:

One man's worst nightmare, another man's dearest fantasy.  No exceptions.

I also cannot deal with spit at all, to the point that I refuse to type about it again after doing it once in the other thread.  Yeah, it's that bad.


So, who else wants to put their cards on the table?

You know that pic somebody posted in the new episode thread, the one from Indiana Jones? That's my worst nightmare. There was a reason why the bug episode did not include anything with the c-things. I am completely phobic about them, even writing or saying the word makes me feel sick and dirty. I know it's completely irrational fear, but trust me, if that had been me we would have said goodbye to Indie in Temple of Doom. I don't like other insects either, but those things are just so repulsive to me. Collecting the entomophilia document was actually somewhat cathartic for me, since it was just so blatantly ridiculous I did not have time to be horrified.

No c-things though. Never c-things. I have to keep my eyes closed every time I go back to that thread so I don't accidentally see any details in that pic.

Another squick for me is animal suffering. I'm especially sentimental about dogs and even jokes about hurting a dog can make me feel sad. I suppose it comes from having had to stay up with a sick dog a few times before.

Since I mentioned it in passing on the discussion page for the latest episode, I'll start with the first one on my mind- mold and decay. I can't be in the same room as rotten food or mold, especially not moldy fruit. Fruiting bodies of fungi are fine, as long as they're outdoors, but mildew or mold or rotten things make me jumpy as all heck. And as I found out from the horrible maggot story, descriptions of rotting food also get me in the same way. By association, maggots and other decomposers are also bad, though I don't mind scavenging animals like vultures or hyenas.

Aside from that, there's pregnancy, childbirth, and babies. They all squick me for a spectrum of related reasons, and if I'm to be frank here, I can't be in a room with a baby or a pregnant lady for very long without getting uncomfortable and wanting to leave. That said, I'm not a CHILDFREE HARDCORE person- kids don't bother me, it's just babies and how they're created that I can't deal with- though I've also never considered having a kid of my own.

And then there's the oddly specific but perhaps most easily explained squick, which is transgender individuals in sexual situations where they are being treated as their birth sex rather than their real gender. It doesn't come up often, but the few times it does means there are some movies/books/video games (surprisingly) that are off-limits for me.

That Ruger picture is upsetting but Ruger's automatics are kind of shitty so at least the subject is consistent with the artwork.

Also look at those Sonic-style eyes. Dead giveaway of the artist's background with developmental issues.

I've got a list of four things that will make me run screaming from the room, shiver or just degenerate into mindless babble from fear.

#1: Slugs. No, I don't care if they fulfill some vital ecological niche. They're fucking horrifying things and I would set them all on fire with my mind if I could.

#2: Eye injuries. Gah. Just the suggestion of anything touching my eye and I'll curl up into a ball.

#3: Sea anemones. They're just horrifying. They scare me. Even more than sea SLUGS, which are at least kinda pretty a lot of the time.

#4: Mind control fetish stuff. Just... really weirds me the fuck out! Mind control, hypnosis, drugs, whatever. It just unsettles me.

Bodily fluids can squick me pretty badly, but nothing is worse than body modification. I can have a normal conversation with someone with body piercings or other reasonably minor mods after forcibly squashing down my initial involuntary reaction, but I'd never be able to find someone with them attractive because of it. Even tattoos can freak me out a bit if they're on certain areas of the body.

My ultimate squick would be any fetish involving the manipulation of said piercings or body mods.

I can't stand people abusing pets, especially dogs and cats and other furry little animals. It's probably because I grew up around animals and always give pets cute names and develop personalities for them, etc. It's not gross for me, it just brings out a sense of existential dispair and sadness.

Airsoft gun. That hole at the bottom of the clip is how you refill the gas these things use as a propellant.

(http://lh6.ggpht.com/-CKw9ujj9hZs/TezoGkmjxjI/AAAAAAAAFfQ/e-bLZOih4l0/strange%252520gangsters%252520with%252520guns%252520people%25252012_thumb.jpg)

Airsoft gun. That "MAC-10" has a loaded-chamber indicator (that tiny light-gray tab on the side of the gun just above the right hand) which doesn't exist on real models because the gun fires from the open bolt, meaning you wouldn't be able to see it if the gun was ready to fire anyway. I can't see the Beretta pistol in the left hand well enough to tell if it's real, but it's probably airsoft.

It's a BB gun. I have the exame same model. The forestock (not sure if that's the right word?) is attached in the front by a lever and you pull the forestock down and push it back up to build up air pressure.

Pellet gun, BB gun, close enough. I suppose I should have noticed that most tube-clip .22s would have the tube run the length of the barrel, because why not, unless it's a single-shot model.

No, we were out to do the same thing! Even if those guns were real, they'd still look like idiots, after all. I, however, can share an extra layer of amusement to help folks enjoy their ridicule that much more.

I'm almost unsquickable, but I have a very specific one... anything to do with stretched lobes. First, I find them unattractive (no offense to anyone who has them, just my personal taste, I'm not really into any sort of piercings). But then I was reading the other day about how they apparently smell terrible, and looking at pictures of people who stretched them too far and ended up tearing their ears apart, and I just... couldn't take it. I guess that while some people are super sensitive about eye/finger torture, I'm a wuss about earlobe torture.

Okay, I'm gonna have to make a list:

-Anything relating to vomiting
-Anything related to mold and decay. I'm in the same boat as Ansemaru on this one)
-Raw meat: This is probably my biggest one. My dislike of raw meat (Especially raw chicken) in real life actually spills over into phobia territory.
-The previously mentioned mind control fetish stuff, especially stuff that relates to reducing people's intelligence or modifying their personality. It's like fetishizing brain trauma, usually with som added misogyny thrown in.

Also as far as tit-fucking goes (A phrase I didn't think I'd find myself saying) isn't that entire fetish sort of born out of a rather comical misunderstanding of how nipples work? I mean I'm no nipple-ologist but human nipples don't have like an actual hole in them you could theoretically stick something in, they're porous rather than set up like a nozzle.

Body-modification-induced body horror, such as people getting eyeball tattoos/implants, tooth filing/implants, and, oddly enough, just thinking about uvula splitting/removal/etc. gets me REALLY freaked out (argh why did I have to think about it)

Strangely enough it's only things like eyes, fingernails, and uvulas (uvulae?) that bug me to that extent.  People doing limb amputation, implants, tattoos, and so on don't bother me at all.  But even THINK about pulling off a toenail, and I'm having a bad time (argh why did I have to think about it)

Absolutely anatomically correct!  That's just never stopped hentai before.

I would list my non-sexual phobias but it'd take a really long time.  Elephant phobia is probably my weirdest, though.  I like elephants, I think they're cute as babies and noble and intelligent as adults...which is why they terrify me, because I go straight to elephants being in pain or mistreated when I think about them.  Same with corvids.  I've never pictured myself inside a dead corvid's chest cavity and having it collapse in on me and suffocating inside a cold, dead creature, though.  I blame the X-Files for that one.

About a year ago was the peak of my panic attacks, and I happened to also be remodeling my kitchen at the time (which didn't help any). At one point my microwave was on the floor, and my cat was sniffing around at it, and my mind immediately jumped to the thought of people putting cats in microwaves and I had a really bad panic attack as a result of thinking of Werner being microwaved, even though there was absolutely no plausible way in which it could happen.  I ended up moving the microwave off the floor.

I used to have a really bad fear of dogs due to some bad experiences as a kid (the sort where GIANT DOG was ATTACKING me and the owners would go "Oh he's just PLAYING with you, calm down! screaming only gets him agitated!") but in grad school I had some neighbors who helped me to finally get over it.

Similarly, I also used to have a fear of mallard ducks because when I was 4 or 5 I went to the local college duck pond and one of the mallards got agitated at me for something which probably made it think I was going to attack its children or something and it chased me around a bunch. I probably deserved it, but it was pretty traumatic.  I outgrew that one pretty quickly, though, probably around the same time that I realized I was much, much bigger than a typical duck.

Not so much "squicks me", more "Makes me really upset and I have to leave the room" but any all-too-realistic depiction of a car accident will upset me. Having been a survivor of a car accident that resulted in the death of my brother, any time a car safety advert comes on I have to get out of there otherwise I start getting upset.

Most notable incident recently was the 2012 E3 expo. The trailer for the game WATCH_DOGS was pretty cool, and I was getting into it, I liked the idea of being able to hack various things in his surroundings... until the player character hacked some traffic lights at a 4-way intersection to make them all green, resulting in a 4-way pileup, just so he could get to one guy in one car. Hearing the general panic of bystanders and the people in the cars was pretty offputting, especially with one guy trapped in a car pleading to his wife to just wake up.

Like I said, not quite nausea fuel, but definitely trauma/anxiety fuel for me.

The word "cummies" from the adult baby episode really got under my skin the first time I listened to it.  It's the only time I actually got annoyed and angry while listening to the podcast.

Also, when people were hinting about how horrible the bug episode was going to be, I instantly thought of bug chasers instead.  There was one Lou Reads episode about it, and near the end there's a story one guy wrote about how he would puncture little holes in his condoms because he wanted to infect his sexual partners with HIV while they thought they were safe, and got off to their panic when they tested positive.

I hope the F Plus never goes that far when reading terrible things.

Any piercings except for women's earlobes weirds me out.

Anything to do with reproduction in the Insecta class. And perhaps the Arthropod phylum. No exceptions. Not even for my favourite animal, the cockroaches. I thought the 'bug fuckers' episode was going to be about people getting off at the process of bug mating, like someone saying "I personally find my masturbation most...euphoric...at the moment the male bed bug stab the other male." or "having to be so very careful just so the female won't eat my heads off is why I nominate Graphic Albums of Praying Mantis Reproduction the Hottest Book of the Year."

To be fair, mantids only eat each other under periods of high stress, which is why scientists only found out that's the case recently--apparently mantids don't like being stuffed in a tiny cage without any cover and watched by giant predators while fucking.

Not even for my favourite animal, the cockroaches.

FUCK YOU I HATE YOU AND PEOPLE LIKE YOU!!

movie kissing noises.

For me it's movie kissing where it doesn't actually look like kissing, but more like two people competing to eat each other's face.

i mean jesus christ that's not what a smooch sounds like, movie smooch sounds are like someone trying to get off in a tub of jello

Oh thank God, it's not just me.  It's always the exact same stock sound effect, too.  It doesn't gross me out, per se, but it grates straight down my spine.

What? I find this quite offensive to gerks! Yes, gerks! All the knowledge in things both trivial and crucial, with triple the social ineptitude and far more snobbishness.

that's not what a smooch sounds like,
icarus, April 19, 2013, 07:39:44 am

WHAT

I've talked to other gerks and none of them (even the one with the Canadian girlfriend) talked about this! Blasphemy. That's why anime have different sound effects!

See I knew you wouldn't appreciate my tastes. After all, you have been so corrupted with the stereotype that cockroaches are 'the Enemy' to even consider that these creatures are miracles of evolution, organisms Darwin himself would call divine if he wasn't so preoccupied with goddamn barnacles. 350k years of consistent general anatomy, baby!

Cockroaches are amazing but I also hate that in New Mexico they lurk EVERYWHERE and it's basically impossible to get rid of them once they get into a place.  Every time I changed my bed sheets, there'd be a bunch of cockroaches underneath them, some of them dead, some of them not. Every time I moved a piece of furniture, cockroaches would scatter everywhere.

During the summer they came inside to cool down. During the what-passed-for-winter they came inside to warm up.  Year-round was cockroach breeding season in New Mexico.

Of course in Las Cruces specifically, the cockroach problem was accompanied by a similar problem with black widow spiders. FUN TIMES.

Well, thank you for making sure I'll never, ever go to New Mexico. Just reading that post will probably give me nightmares.

Seriously you guys, you have no fucking idea how much I hate those things. No, it's not even hate. I loathe them. I don't want to be on the same continent with them. I don't even want to write their name. I know it's completely irrational and ridiculous, but I can't help myself. Evolution shmevolution, Darwin can stuff it for all I care.

Oh did I mention they'd also get into the food?

When I lived there I had a recurring nightmare in which I'd be eating soup and think "why is there shrimp in thOOOOOOHHHHH SHIIIIIIT." But for some reason I'd still be compelled to lick the soup off of their antennae.

Holy shit, Fluff, I love all bugs and you're grossing ME out.

It is insane what you can get to deem "normal" because there's no other solution but to adapt, though.  Whenever I see an ant these days, I'm reminded of the infestation my dorm had where I was literally flicking them off my arm every fifteen seconds at the computer and people didn't care if they got into their ramen or whatever.  It's horrifying in retrospect, but if there is absolutely no other way to cope, the brain has a miraculous way of shutting your care-glands down altogether.

Fucking brains.

The first of three short films in the compilation "Three Extremes" titled "Dumplings".

I guess you wouldn't like the extended movie (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0472458/), then.
