Thaaaats what it was. I was scratching my head to figure out from what source I knew of this concept.

I’m glad I’m not the only one who thought of Steven Universe first.
crabs@lemmy.world 1 year ago
I’m out of the loop. Why Steven Universe and not Junji Ito?
generic@iusearchlinux.fyi 1 year ago
The Kindergarten in Steven Universe is a reference to Junji Ito.
Steven Universe is just what is more fresh in my mind.

Yeah this is what I thought as well. Never heard of “The Enigma of Amigara Fault.” GUESS I SHOULD START READING.

Horror is subjective.
I couldn’t get into this one personally, because there are all sorts of inventions and ways we could do that would explore the holes without ya know… jumping into them?
Like, I dunno, throw a cell phone camera in there and see where it goes?

But the scariest part of this story isn’t the holes, it’s the irresistible urge to go in…

Yea, it’s the fact that it seems impossible to resist. Yes, there are better ways than described to check out the holes, but it doesn’t ruin the story for me. I get those impulsive thoughts to jump off of cliffs or drive off roads so this story is the fear of following those thoughts.

Psychology doesn’t work like that though… and there’s some really messed up crap in real world Psychology that’s horrific enough. No need to make something up.

I think this one rings true to a lot of people who struggle with intrusive thoughts. It’s not about logic, it’s about that weird urge to do the worst possible thing. You get the urge to climb in because it’s scary. So scary you can’t focus on anything else. But maybe if you just did it, at least you could stop worrying about it.

If people’s minds were so weak to give into intrusive thoughts, I’d have committed suicide maybe a year or two into my intrusive thoughts.
As I said before: what happens in this comic is unrealistic. People who struggle with undiagnosed depression can (and do), survive for years despite thinking about killing themselves every day, every hour, for years.
I know. I went through this. You don’t just “give up” randomly, though the feeling does wear you down and make you anxious over time.
