I feel like now the real world is much more scarier than horror in media, I kinda got desensitized to fear in horror games. Still scary, but I remember being much more terrified when I was younger.

    I doubt the current state of the world played as much of a factor in your desensitization to horror compared to the development of your brain and continued exposure to horror content throughout your life.

    I was terrified of a monkey stuffed animal as a kid. Didn’t need genocide and Trump’s second term to grow out of that.
