What's a sob story that doesn't make you sob? ¬_¬

I think its rather interesting to be honest ^^'

Yes, but unpleasant at the same time.

You do find this unpleasent even though you're admittedly emotionless to most things?

erm.

foreplay is most sexually attractive - the rest is the aftermath, it depends on what's happening/feeling/sounds for it to be sexually attractive [sensitivity for the win. Probably why I favour yuri always].

knowing its not exactly unpleasant and saying it IS unpleasant is just being socially acceptable.

It's supposed to make you sob, doesn't mean it necessarily works on everyone.  You probably cry on everything, I don't.  As Zinga said it in that Kanon discussion back then, you just fall for whatever random tragic events too easily (Zinga too, is quite resilient to that stuff).

There has to be story, reason and sense to make me cry. Otherwise I'd be the over-sensitive cry(baby) you('ve) describe(d).

Kanon for one wasn't random, in all cases there may have been something wrong but there was always story and character development before the curtain call on each arc.

I never said I didn't find all that stuff "unpleasant", I do.  I'm just saying it doesn't "horrify", or "have a large effect" on me, so it's mostly effect-less.  I find that rotten apple in the fridge unpleasant, doesn't mean I have to do around acting like it's the worse thing to ever happen in the history of man.

Take that <3 America thread for example, some people seem completely horrified, they're like "OMG, how can someone be so cruel, it's unimaginable to do that to his own daughter, he needs to burn in hell".  My comment was "meh, I've seen worse", but that doesn't mean I don't find it not unpleasant at all.


In a similar sense, I'm not saying I completely feel nothing during these "sob stories", just not enough to actually make me sob.

So what, you cried for all the sub-stories in Kanon?  (Well, Kanon is actually one of the better written stories, but if you cry for all these random sad stories out there...)

You also cry on stuff your younger sister doesn't.

Also look at it this way, you get shown to you a picture of another man's hairy dick.  Now you probably find that unpleasant, and you would probably want to "un-see" it if possible, but that doesn't mean you're going to go into an emotional outrage or get completely horrified or go into shock or whatever.  So you find it unpleasant, but you're pretty emotionless at the same time.

Err... Ok, "pretty much emotionless" referring to not feeling anything significant, rather than not feeling anything at all.
