Shitlord horror? Ok, so I have a guilty pleasure which is horror films. I really tend to like Japanese and Korean horror because they put so much thought into it without relying on jumpscares, gore, and patchy and overly convenient storytelling the way most American horror movies do. But I like a bit of variety, and The Shining is an American horror classic which remains to be my favourite, so I decided to check out some of the stuff from more recent years. Among the many lists I was picking through, I saw one that I had heard about often in the past, called the ABCs of Death. I knew it was a conglomeration of different stories so I decided to go to the wiki page to check the synopsis. I do this often, not for spoilers, but to make sure the movie won't have something I can't handle. Things like rape or dogs being killed are not things I can sit through in a movie so I like to check for any scenes I should be wary of so I can skip over them. Turns out, the movie is super shitty based on all the reviews, so I didn't end up watching it, but something stood out to me in the synopsis that made the think of you guys.  In one segment, titled X is for XXL, wiki says: "An overweight woman falls into despair at her size and attempts to remove her fat with a knife." I couldn't for the life of me figure out how they made this into a story, I'm imagining some kind of botched surgery horror or plastic surgery addiction story, something that happens in the real world that could be turned into a short horror clip. I made the mistake of looking the clip up on Vimeo: Now, I don't mind gore as it is, but it was a little over the top. And they literally meant, in this story, a fat cow takes an electric knife and cuts off her fat until she, briefly and before collapsing in a pool of her own blood, is skinny. THEY MADE A FUCKING HORROR MOVIE BASED ON THE PREMISE THAT FATS WILL DO ANYTHING TO LOSE WEIGHT EXCEPT DIET AND FUCKING EXERCISE.  I am disgusted by how deeply this has permeated our culture to the point where doing anything except eat less is a valid premise for a horror story. What the actual fuck.
