They asked me in the interview if I had any other online aliases they weren’t aware of

I didn’t snitch about NC though don’t worry

sraL is a no comment OG

Word just seems like something that taking out of your life would be good for you

Heroin addicts really enjoy heroin ya know

Thats fucked bro. I understand u being in a bad place now. Glad things are looking up though.

WTF?

So we compare drug addiction to hobby enthusiasts now?

His affection for horror movies isn't the same as someones addiction to heroin.

At least I don't think so from a logical perspective, or is it?

If so, that's a problem and you're a weirdo lol.

This is worrisome from a broader perspective. Nothing new, but any step toward a totalitarian government is a worrisome one.

Would definitely be nice to dump pigs blood on your former company’s next BBQ.

Have you seen the stuff he watches? It’s not healthy that he enjoys it.

I’m assuming he gets off on it, if not I’m not sure why he’s passionate about it.

It was more so the not-knowing what the outcome was going to be. My one wage keeps me, my daughter and my wife going. I pay for everything.

While I was suspended for 8-9 weeks on full pay i had no idea how it was gonna pan out. Well, I did kind of imagine how it may do and eventually did, but I wasn’t sure...

I was feeling pretty shitty that I’d done that to my family and beat myself up about it.

I was too hard on myself in retrospect. Now I’m ready for this new challenge.

There’s no defending the shit Lars enjoys watching
but I’ll defend til I die his right to watch it

I have. Some gross, some weird but its acting. They are movies. They are fake.

You are passionate about developing games and nerd shit, aren't you?

What's the difference? I just think the analogy was way off.

Ya i know what thats like. Not knowing is the worst feeling ever when it comes to serious life changing shit man. Just glad ur in good spirits and working. Thats rly good news.

He can watch it, but it’s not disputable that it’s negative for his mental Health and home life.

You’re high if you think making video games is a similar hobby to gore porn.

LOL I most certainly don’t have any kind of problem, I’m just a nerd that enjoys niche horror and world cinema and knows a lot on the subject so I like to speak on it and people respect my opinion because they too I’m a knowledgeable guy in that area with a looooootttt of rare cinema in my collection.

Hes not hurting himself or anyone else. The films are not illegal to view. At least not to my knowledge. So he should not have these consequences. Plain and simple

Passion.

The passion is similar. Not the hobby, dummy.

I know @sraL - I basically said that lol... Knuck making it seem like you have some what of mental health issue/drug addiction towards it tho lol...

You put me on to a few horror flicks. I enjoy them as well, just no where near as much as you do lol...

Are we going to pretend his work didn’t jump through hoops to fire him over this because it’s disturbing and not healthy? They wouldn’t have fired him if it was any normal media he was reviewing. They spent over a month doing whatever they could to get rid of him.

You guys are enablers and it’s disgusting. This isn’t a freedom conversation lmao.

Low quality snuff films and so called torture porn I feel is more about one’s opinions on the world, but not necessarily the opinions the average joe would assume of someone with those tastes.

There’s something campy about that stuff. Community based. Counterculture. Violence depicted realistically has its worth.

This is an injustice to what I believe in. Shameful shit.

I’d do the same self doubting if I caused my family turmoil, but it’s just a passion. You aren’t hurting anyone.

That’s not what you were trying to say lol. It’s okay though, I don’t care what he does I was making a statement you can’t argue against, not starting a debate.

There is 0 examples of how continuing to be so involved with this niche hobby is beneficial to him and his life at all.

How is it unhealthy, though?

I don’t get off on it. I make movies, I edit video, I enjoy seeing unusual camera angles used and prefer practical effects over CGI like Tom Savini would do. I enjoy the cinematography, the framing of shots, the score in movies like The Thing, I like grassroots DIY cinema because without these guerrilla directors we wouldn’t have the scene we have. I love everything about it. I’m more knowledgeable than your casual fan because I actually make movies and understand the behind the scenes stuff you don’t see and know how the effects were pulled off etc so i can speak about them and whether they’re done well or not. It’s way more to me than just what’s seen on screen within the movie, I can appreciate the technical brilliance that goes into it a lot more than your average horror fan looking for jump scares could. That’s what I love.

Are you this close minded or is it part of your hilarious routine again?
