The only thing that ever bothered me was the bloody shaky cam in Melancholia.
I was also busy over-eating, so that was a brutal combination.
Otherwise, as long as I don't have to smell anything, I will usually eat through anything....

Blood and guts and all that is fine. If it's bugs like maggots and stuff, that could put me off temporarily.

That's me. I can handle blood, guts, missing limbs, melted faces, anything like that, but I CANNOT do bugs. Especially when they're bugs related to a dead body, but bugs in general are disgusting.

Horror movie type gore or action film violence? No big deal.

About the only thing that would turn me off is that youtube video of someone popping a massive zit. Or maybe 2girls1cup (which I haven't seen). Stuff like that.

I'm happy to say that I'm part of that internet minority who has not seen 2girls1cup yet as well. I don't plan to ever see it. I know what it's about and that would most definitely make me sick. Like, probably projectile vomitting sick.

If it is true gore, not the Hollywood semi-gore, then I won't even watch it, let alone try to eat while watching it.

I don't understand the fascination with gore, and frankly, if we are looking for those crazy enough to go on shooting sprees, we should start by checking out people that like gore. For the truly gory stuff, there simply has to be something wrong with you, if you enjoy it.

Ehh, stuff like Grandhouse movies, sure. Stuff like hollywood movies, sure. Stuff like ... real actual desperate/bad situations, fuck no. Makes my stomache churn.
