Okay, so I'm going to give some explanation as to why it's an oxymoron Cozy implies feel good. Horror implies feel bad Therefore you want feel-good horror. But that's not how it works. Also, why is it absolutely necessary for a genre you have no interest in to feel good all of a sudden?

There is no such thing as cozy horror. If you want things to be cozy, sure! But you still need the horror aspect!! Otherwise, it's just an oxymoron!

I've spoken to Sakher on other apps, and tried to keep an eye out for his posts while Bsky continues silencing genocide victims. He's a very kind soul, and it's my greatest wish that I see him free and safe with his family someday. Please help if you can and keep an eye out for him. 🇵🇸

one of the things that I keep coming back to when we discuss "cozy horror"is that the whole argument is so reader-centric. It feels like a late 1970s caricature of a neurotic new yorker in their therapist's office screaming "WHAT ABOUT MY NEEDS???"

I am not worth this much of a big thread taking down an essay you clearly did not read while you try and position me as a sexist coming after "girly things" which jfc the gender essentialism that comes up in these topics.
