Why would a gross, fake photo freaky me out??


Question: I saw this stupid STUPID photo on a website that was just gross, not perverted or anything, but it made me sick to my stomach. How could something fake and nonsensical freak me out like a phobic reaction?? What would cause that to happen??
Answers: You may know in your conscious mind that it is not real but your sub-conscious mind may not know. Funny how that works.
You're just squeamish, that's all. Some people can't stand the sight of blood and other forms of gore. No big deal.
Shock factor, my guess. I've been completely weirded out by something a kindergartener would laugh at before. Oh the other hand, I can see blood, gore, and guts all day long and it won't scathe me at all. Probably the mood you're in at the time you see it.
