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.

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.

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.

Well put. I also love movies and am the type to use the word film when describing them. It’s an obvious form of art. The subject matter you deal in I think says more about your subversive personality, I’d assume.

I watch/collect a lot of transgressive cinema. I like that it challenges societal norms or morals. It’s edgy. It could be a films title having an explenative in there like Dog Dick. It could be the artwork (there’s a movie where the case is a mold of the directors wifes vagina) or the film itself. Lots of directors won’t kill a child on screen. A lot won’t push the envelope so far as to show a rape scene or an abortion or any kind of aroused penis and so forth. I like the idea of constantly challenging these values. Pushing things that bit further. Challenge people’s perceptions and preconceived ideas. Shock people. Do things that haven’t been done or weren’t imaginable. There’s been transgressive cinema for YEARS that’s constantly changed what is “acceptable”.

I like that the movies aren’t all wrapped up in a neat bow and finished with The End. I like the bad guy to win. I like that there isn’t always a happy ever after.

But you couldn’t do any of that in a corner of film that wouldn’t creep out 98% of people that come across your involvement in it? There are lots of indie film groups that don’t depict knife dildos being used. There are even horror film groups that don’t go that far. It’s kind of too convenient to call gore porn horror just because it is boxed and shipped as that.

There seriously isn’t an argument for continuing it. It’s clearly done more bad than good to you now. I’m not trying to hate on you like the hecklers are making it seem. Just saying man, you can’t possibly think it’s a good look to be involved in it. If you do maybe you’re just from a real out there upbringing lol. They fired you because of the content though, not the actions.
