[@OniLordMiki]

Because of Fight Club, I mostly read his works in Edward Norton's voice.

[@lionandthewolff]

Yeah, a "friend" linked me to Guts years ago, saying see if you can make it through this story. I didn't. Queasiness was building up during the first two sections, and the third proved too much for me. I broke out in a sweat and felt dizzy. I later realized I had had a panic attack. But I was so fascinated by the fact that a story could provoke that sort of reaction from me that I began reading Chuck's other work. I fell in love with his writing. Later on, when Guts was included in Haunted, I thought, OK, let's try to get through this again. These are just words. At approximately the same point, though not the point when Chuck says people attending readings usually drop, I had another panic attack. Worse, prolonged. It probably (no, it definitely) didn't help that I was reading it on the toilet.

[@ericjacobsen6901]

On the printed page, it is just white and black areas. How could one pattern of black dots make such a difference?

[@MicahMicahel]

I don't judge you, but I found the story kind fun. I visualize it and feel the pain through my imagination too. the experience is fun because I have to overcome the feeling. That's sort of fun. when you take repulsive thoughts and put them into a narrative that has a sense of beauty, it turns into a joke, which is the key to getting past terrible moments. It's good that you keep trying to get past it. Fears should be conquered.

@Jim Blogs not a bad assessment honestly. Same with Hemingway.

[@marelinem541]

I think 'Guts' is a true story. I have a small apartment building with a pool, and about 15 years ago I had to have the pool pump reworked because of new regulations put in place because so many children (and maybe adults too, I don't remember) were being drowned from getting stuck to the pump at the bottom of the pool or getting all their guts pulled out. The literature listed statistics that were alarming! This happened a lot! And I couldn’t figure out how such a thing could possibly happen. But they are always passing new regulations, and it was make the changes or fill the pool in. (If I hadn’t had the pool replastered just a few years before, I might have just had it filled in.) Now is the first time I ever understood how those horrible ‘accidents’ happened.

[@awPrzemek]

[@priaroserugbycolclough6512]

[@fishhuntadventure]

Ya know, it didn’t effect me like apparently some are effected, but then I’ve never done anything so embarrassing or stupid or dangerous. I only listened out of curiosity (the hype) but I got disgusted early in and… well, this was just disgusting. Definitely not funny, definitely not entertaining. I was so empathetically troubled at the description of the accidental teen hanging. Definitely did not add any quality or value to my life.

[@uadimwit]

@@robosing225 it was censored from an "Oprah" book because it was too provocative. It was too fucked up because that shit happens, and it was too well told. TRUTH hits you in the face like a fist, cold and warm at the same time. Truth is your closest friend, and your worst enemy.

[@robosing225]

@@uadimwit One of the main reasons why so many people lie to themselves. They invariably create a personal ideology that they believe as "superior" truth to sequester or "force down" actual truth from being known. Fat people telling themselves they are pretty. Seeking others like them, creating an echo chamber of "support" which instead of addressing the actual problem, only covers it with a veil of this false truth. The sayings, "I am beautiful no matter what." or "If they cant accept me for who I am, then they dont deserve me." completely missing the mark of what it means to have actual support and friends who aren't afraid to hurt their feelings with helpful honesty. Instead of realizing that they are fat, they lie so they never seek actual help to mitigate the looming issue of heart disease and other obese complications. So it all depends. To me, there should never be an excuse were lies should be used to tell "truths". Convincing women to wear so much make up you cannot tell the same person apart. Obfuscating Covid data to confuse the masses, created internal contention between people for and against vaccinations. Black on black crimes being fundamentally higher than white on black crimes. Statistical data for how many abortions occur annually without the help of medical intervention. The list goes on and on, and media outlets that perpetuate the false truth to assuage the masses is doing the most harm.
