Does Anyone Else Have a “Strange” Interest?

[Unsure and Useless]

Random question, but does anyone else have a fixation or interest that is deemed "socially unacceptable?"

For example, my random and odd interest is the concept of a "yandere." There's just something so fascinating about seeing something typically perceived as pure and good be warped into something twisted and suffocating.

Also, just in case, there's no judging here.

Using pro suicide forum as a form of therapy could count.
Other than that esoteric matters and the occult.

 

[ForgottenAgain]

I wouldn't say it's socially unacceptable but rather people roll their eyes at it. I like cartomancy and trying to predict the future with the cards.

I keep roaches as pets and people don't seem to like that.

I love you for this, roaches are wonderful and have many beautiful species, but ppl judge them as a whole for a few pest species :(

 

[Arachno]

Maybe it's not all that weird but I'm interested guns and arachnids.

 

[Hardcore_Henry]

i really like Russian cinema specifically cause it can be so depressing and foreign to me, which is kinda weird i guess. ive seen a lot of Andrei Tarkovsky and the like.

oof, i got a huge fear of roaches...we could not be friends lol

i lowkey kinda like bl... i'm pretty sure that's up there in terms of cringe esp at my age lol

BL?

BL?

It means boys love. It's just any media showcasing gay relationships as it's center point

OH ok

alright then :)

Hm. I guess fiction with taboo subjects sometimes interests me? (Sometimes gore/ abuse etc), but it's like really seldom, and I do prefer more wholesome media most of the time, so I'd say that I don't have any socially unucceptable hobbies (+ it's mostly just me getting into things I would have liked when I was an edgy teenager). Although when it comes to strange hobbies I do like vocal synthesis. It's an instrument that is meant to replicate human singing/ talking. Tbh vocal synthesis is like one of a few things that brings me a bit of happiness right now. I love listening to it, and working with it (although it may be stressful sometimes). And the vast array of characters that represent various voices just makes for a nice distraction for my mind to think of when I want to block out any bad thoughts.

I have a Tarot deck, consider Putin a CIA agent, listen to Juche Korean songs, and like reverse NTR.

I randomly found out my mom knew the Tarot cards from YouTube, apparently not as obscure, haha.

Tarot cards is how I got introduced to the occult. There are many ways to read and some readers just use intuition.
Others study the symbolism.

I have no inspiration to ask anything at all. Talking about Korean politics with ancient Hebrew demons would be cringe. All I did was ask about whether the girl I care about ropes (apparently not), and that's it. Ah, and about me joining Jehovah's Witnesses lmao.

 

[Tokugawa_Yoshinobu]

I'm into Guro (porn + gore basically).

Other interests include listening to military marches and political music, tarot (wow very popular apparently and the occult also paganism.

The rest of my interests are less "socially unacceptable" and more just fringe. I mean I'm a history enthusiast, specifically I like samurai and the bronze age.

Ive been an occult reader since I was a boy. My father was an antiquarian book dealer and we had one of Crowley's periodicals from the 1910s. I was told in the strictest terms to go nowhere near it.....which I did but understanding the salient themes of the Equinox at 8 was not possible.

 

[Blackpepperpancake]

I'm too obsessed everything that related to cult, not a typical topic I can discussed to normal people lol, I wish I can meet a religious cult member and talk to them, or maybe join a random cult. But not to far gone like I have seen on news (who knows maybe I would seriously be one of them lmao) I also like cult films so do recommend me if you want to.

 

[mortuarymary]

Obsessed with old grave yards and grave stones.
the Victorian age of death.

I have a similar thing but with androgynous people/characters. Idk why but there's something about it that fascinates me.

 

[rozeske]

I love watching the same tv series beginning to end over and over and over again non stop. It gives me comfort while it worries people around me.

 

[KuriGohan&Kamehameha]

I love cringe romance stories like otome games, BL, etc, which aren't uncommon weaknesses for weird shut-in girls like me. Also have a fascination with some unpopular borderline NPC characters who play minor roles in a story, and have pretty much no fanbase. But the absolute worst and most estoeric thing I was afflicted with is cardiophilia (erotic fascination with heartbeats). I have had this my entire life and it's a source of deep shame and embarrassment for me, if I could get rid of it I would even though I now have lots of useless knowledge about the human heart because of it.

 

[ForsakenDial]

Me too! I keep a lot of insects and arachnids as pets. I love my madagascar hissing cockroaches. I have two of them, they are wonderful pets. People need to appreciate these guys more.

 

[TheSpookyNameGuy]

I sometimes browse forums that have pictures of mangled dead bodies, chopped up and sliced into ribbons usually, heads split by axes and eyes scattered on the floor.

War gore, stabbings, vehicle accidents, torture aftermath.

I can't help it, i need to see it. I'm not an evil fuck but it confirms my belief that i need to escape this shithole. It puts me in a black zone and death feels less bad.

 

[FutureHanger]

Looking into gangs and beefs in different places with gangs, it all started when I used to be obsessed with UK drill music but now I scroll reddit looking into facts about gangs and members from all sorts of places like Chicago for example. Not even my favourite thing to do but it's just the only aspect of my old lifestyle that my anhedonia and reducing attention span can't prevent me from doing.

 

[Angst Filled Fuck Up]

I like sexual predators. I mean, shit, that came out wrong. I like the fandom and lore associated with Predator stings on TV, like Chris Hansen's To Catch a Predator, and others like it.

There's just something about the goofy chat logs and the tenseness/comedy of the bust itself.

This is probably hard to fathom or envision, so case in point:

 

[hopeurhappylb]

I am like, super interested and fascinated by cannibalism (in fiction). It's so interesting for metaphors, or even just using it in media for no real reason, but whenever I joke/talk about it I get weird looks… ah well. fictional Gore in general is cool, but I don't enjoy looking at real life gore photos or anything.

I love it in metaphors too :p if JJK I love and hase themes of it, but in high-school I thought Tokyo ghoul was so cool lol. Learning true crime stories on cannibalism is crazy stuff too. But like you, don't get much from real gore, I don't seek it ever really

If you had the opportunity to join the Peoples Temple before it went haywire, would you?

I love Nike Decades. I wish i owned a pair of them, or at least reps of them. Yk those shoes that the Heaven's Gate cult died with? I love those shoes. Those are my grail shoes.

Those cult members died with swag to their feet. Look at those clean ass kicks. Damn i love those shoes. the Decades got discontinued when word spread about the cult's mass-suicide. I need a pair of those shoes. I NEED it.

pic of Nike Decades

I FUCKING NEED IT


sidenote that cult and its history is rlly interesting to learn about. start here on their own site, hasnt been updated ever since they announced closure: https://www.heavensgate.com/

 

[The Ninth God]

If I start talking about what I REALLY like I could end up in jail; my interests are entirely illegal in Italy and considered wrong by most humans. To me, as long as you consider the consequences of your actions, laws are useless and extremely irritating. I have no problems breaking them if the outcome is something I desire, no remorse because I made such choice and objective morality has no value to me, so I don't care if they are considered "socially unacceptable" or illegal by others.
