Hello fellow VGCharterz. I was reading a study that I saw on Reddit that found (yet again) that playing violent video games doesn't influence real life behaviour. I agree with that sentiment, because I am not really phased at all by violence in video games or movies, yet when I see a lot of blood in real life I can feel sick. Here are some examples of times when I felt sick:

1. I was at someplace where little kids could play in a ball pit and a foam pit. One kid had his finger caught on the door when someone slammed it shut. There was a lot of blood, and that was I first time I can remember feeling really ill.

2. This was may seem weird, but I'm being 100% serious. I was learning Chinese, so I was searching up videos and not really understanding them. So, long story short, I stumbled upon a weird Japanese movie (I'm not sure if it's on YouTube any more), where a guy stalks a girl and rapes her (I think?). I was taken aback by it at first, but I watched it because well, it's just a movie! So, I jacked off to it, my first time ever, and I felt so sick afterwards that I didn't masturbate for years after that. I have no idea why I felt so bad from that.

3. I was in school, and during a time when I had to write a quiz, and as I started thinking about getting repeatedly stabbed to death, and getting blood all over the place and all of that. Now, I had read A Clockwork Orange a little bit prior to that, so I had done a little experiment to try to forcefully sensitize myself. Well, I picked a bad time to do that! I wasn't able to concentrate at all, and I ended up getting soaked in sweat and unable to write at an important time!

I guess I could list some more examples, but those are the ones that pop in my head! Does this happen to any of you?

Any that you hate in particular?

LOL, reminds of Kitchen Nightmares when Gordon Ramsay finds maggots and cockroaches in the restaurants!

Oh, how I love this man's screams.

I haven't really seen anything gruesome or like that (tend to stop watching right away), but I do get really dizzy when watching other people play first person games. Like really dizzy :/

The site of a cock roach or a mosquito is enough to make lose any dire to eat.

Puke does.

I am kind of hemophobic, and even the beat of my own heart creeps me out. So if i lay in a position where my heart is moving my entire body, I have to move. So sight of real blood makes me feel odd. But video game blood isn't realistic enough and some movie blood.

Swarms of bugs and general filth grosses me out as well, like a trashed apartment.

I have not really been exposed to too much blood and gore in real life but I am sure I would not react well to it.

Watching anything to do with conspiracy theories or subliminal messaging really messes me up and my eyes start to water as if I am crying.

I'm arachnophobic, so spiders disturb me a ton. I remember two situations specifically:

1. I had a ping pong table in my garage for some time. I was playing against my sister, and my side of the table was next to a corner. When suddenly I feel something moving on my feet. I looked down and it was a fucking armed spider (those that raise their front legs when threatened and are huge). I ran and went inside the car and cried. A lot.

2. When I was living in Brazil, I used to watch the Carnaval, that happens in February. February in Brazil is very hot, so bugs and spiders can easily proliferate. One Carnaval, a giant tarantula (it might not have been giant, but it's hard to remember the exact size of it) appeared from behind the TV and went directly to the door (that was the only way out of there). I passed out.
