With me what makes me cringe among most things are the following.

1. Hospital Scenes in movies. I could watch horror movies where blood and gore are a huge factor and not break a sweat, but show me one hospital scene, especially if the surgery and other injuries are in great details and I get queasy.

2. Real life corpses of people and animals, for obvious reasons. Kinda ironic since I'm a meat eater.

3. Pumpkin Guts, because they look like actual guts to me.

In reaction to yours:
1. It's an acquired taste, but as I said in my comments here, I do like watching blood and gore in action and horror movies. So needless to say games like that wouldn't bother me. But when it comes to hospital scenes in movies, shows and even cartoons, I feel sick from it because of how real it looks to me.
2. Jump scares startle me, but only few scare me.
3. I know right? And I'm pretty sure that they do have their own Broadway shows on it. Broadway will take anything. Lol.
4. I know what you mean, I was the same way when I was a kid. It was the fact that they fight that bothers us as kids, but as I grew up and understood what they were fighting over I don't take it seriously unless it turns into a physical fight.
5. I'd ask, but I respect your decision not to tell me.

I take it they eat it off the cob?

In reaction to yours:
1. With me it depends on what it is, horror and action don't bother me, but hospital scenes make me sick physically. Simply because of how real it looks.
2. In terms of a story, those topics would work very well. In terms of applying those notions of glamour in real life makes me think they miss the point of said story. Case in point Johnny Got His Gun was meant to show the horrors of war, but some countries like Nazi Era Germany took it as American Soldiers not allowed to fight while they feel they should reign supreme. When Dalton Trumbo was merely telling people to think twice before they join the Army. He was so disgusted at this that he pulled his books off the shelf until WWII ended. He was a war correspondent in Okinawa at the time.
3. Me I'm an opportunist, but I learned the hard way how much the net hates the stuff and I should have just done things differently.
4. Depends on your definition of softies, I'd like to know before giving my opinion.
5. Modern Pop Music and Art, depends on them both for me. If it's from something from a band I know even an old one, I'd look into it. Just recently Roger Waters remade Comfortably Numb. Not as good as their original, but it was pretty surreal.
6. I hate that too. I mean so they don't understand Japanese, that doesn't mean they can't enjoy the anime openings or the popular J-Rock albums at the time.
7. Ya. I can't believe they used "Autism" as an insult that really pissed me off.
8. With me it depends on whether or not they are irredeemable. Sometimes redemption comes from the most likely of places. For example, people think Will Smith is irredeemable because of the Oscar Slap. I don't think so. There have been many controversial moments in the Oscars worse than this. There was a native who rejected Marlon Brando's Oscar on his behalf so she could as a favour to him speak out for the rights of Native Actors. They booed her off the stage. These people get offended by almost everything on both sides of the Hollywood coin. Will, will at least recover enough to make a few more movies, cash in on Bel-Air and retire in peace. Point being I think he's redeemable. That said those who do irredeemable things like hurt children, I would tell them to go to Hell and maybe give them directions to it.
9. With me, much like blood and gore it depends on who does it. There's pro-offensive humour which I despise because it makes it look normal. Whereas there's anti-offensive humour where people can hear the slurs, but also know that people that say such things are stupid. Take Blazing Saddles for example. That movie had the N word said over hundreds of times among many slurs. Yet the people that say it, are often stupid, over the top or just too plain evil for people to take seriously. Whilst the people that don't say it including the main character, a black person whom established himself as Sheriff in an all white town, end up saving the day using old fashioned comedy. From tricking a bad guy Bugs Bunny style to trying to infiltrate a bad guy organization disguised as Klan members. Look up the names Norman Lear and Mel Brooks, they were the masters of anti-offensive comedy.

I can see why. I like corn on the cob as much as the next person, but if it's not juices flying out, you're bombarded with corn bullets.

Ya. The Gillette thing was the worst of that in terms of corporations. A couple years ago they did an "Anti-Toxic Masculinity" ad. However I called BS because they did a lot worse things than that. Gillette like most known brand companies rely on a substance called Palm Oil. You may have seen it on an ingredient list and not think much of it, but it's in everything, from food to other products. Now I watched a documentary years back called "Years of Living Dangerously" it was a documentary series in which Celebrities are going around talking about different causes. In this case I was watching Harrison Ford (Han Solo/Indiana Jones), talk about the palm oil business. A huge percentage of it comes from Indonesia, the company that allows it, burns down forests whether they're empty or not, just to have fields for palm oil. The companies among most that buy from them directly are the Gillette Company and the Ben and Jerry's Ice Cream company.

So I see this commercial and think. "Wait, toxic males are bad but burning down Orangutan forests for the oil you need for your shaving cream isn't? Fuck you." And people thought I was evil over the NFT thing, these guys would give that crowd a run for their money, because they are physically directly destroying Earth for product and profit.
