How much do you think people are tied down by their nature and what do you think it is? To me, human nature can be boiled down to a few thing: prioritizing self-interest, duplicitous, self-justification, craving validation, pushing others down to uplift themself at every opportunity and taking the path of least resistance
These are the things I think people are naturally inclined to do when they're left to their own devices. While people can occasionally override these core behaviors, few people can do so consistently. The majority of people will always follow their nature. Those who don't either compensate for their restraint through other forms of hedonism(self-righteousness), or are actually committed to their own ideal. How hard do you think it is for somebody to be the latter? Can anybody do it, or are people only born able to do it?

I don't know if I'm getting old or internet horror has been increasingly awful in recent years. I'm not saying the 2000's and early 2010's era was good, it wasn't. A lot of the popular creepypasta from that era is only remembered for the imagery associated with it rather than the story itself (you can't tell me Jeff the Killer was a "good" story). But at least there was some gold among the pile of shit, like Candle Cove. I don't understand the appeal of all this ARG, digital horror and analog horror stuff the zoomers seem to love. I think the only recent internet horror thing I liked was I can't sleep.

There's nothing new, everything turn to shit when a brilliant niche idea becomes mainstream. The Backrooms, SCP, every meme that come from the depth of 4chan and pretty much everything else get ruined when too many people try to hop on the hype train.

I feel like one of the reasons creepypasta died is simply because the target audience grew up. Most of the people who were into creepypasta a decade ago were either late millenials or early zoomers who are now between the ages of 20-30. There's that and the fact that datamining videogames in the 00's - early 10's wasn't as accessible as it is today unless you were into romhacking. Also good video editing wasn't common so hoaxes like Ben Drowned could easily fool a 12 year old. It's the same reason GTA myths were such a big thing in the early 2000's, people had a "this could be real" mindset.

I really really cannot stress enough how good Obelisk is. It's got a very yume nikki up-to-interpretation feel, on top of being really unsettling.

 No.29569

May be survivors bias or some sort, there was a lot of slop back in the day, what i do think is kinda ruining or making horror kinda lame is the urge of new fans to explain, or to solve everything and the mistery disappears within a week and everything is categorized and explained.

that killed the backrooms imo,and that is what makes yumme nikki and other older games/media still special, theres still to this day a lot of unexplained or misterious aspects left to interpretation. theres is a lot of amazing modern horror but theres an obsession with canon, explanations and solving every piece of the puzzle

i’m guilty of this heavily, so i’ll just use one example.
I literally spent half an afternoon writing a lengthy analysis on the anatomy and byproducts of fairies (the 2hu fairies) and how they’re seen in both fairy and youkai/human culture. all developed on my own, mind you, none of this was established before.
To save you the pain reading the whole thing, i’ll skim it down to the bare bones for those who are curious. Still gonna probably be a hefty read.

essentially, the main part of fairy anatomy boils down to fairies not having any real genetalia, instead having their wings be the erogenous, more sensitive part of their body. since fairies don’t exactly reproduce, nor have the need to, it’s simply just a stand in for reproduction in fairy culture. Fairies also passively emit various pheromones from their wings, which coagulate over time into this flaky, dandruff like material colloquially referred to as Dust. Dust, being a delicacy due to faries being too stubborn to stay still long enough to collect much, is heavily desired by human and youkai medicine makers alike, who seek to use certain kinds of Dust in their products for various reasons.

tl;dr: fairies have no genitals, their wings are the stand in. Since fairies don’t reproduce, it’s considered taboo to rub them in fairy culture. Fairy wings also build up a pheromone residue, nicknamed Dust. Medicine makers can’t get enough of that shit, and pay top dollar for a decent sample.
