TOY GUNS

Posted by CosmicDeath - March 14th, 2011

As far back as I can remember, they've scared the crap outta me. I can't help it. I kind of freak out internally and just worry "what if-". What if a whole bunch of stupid fuckin shit. You're prollies thinking the first worry would be something along the lines of, "What if it's a real gun in disguise?" Uh uh - nope. No, it is far stupider than that. And I'm not gonna admit it here. I'm just gonna allude to it and let your wonderful brains work out the rest.

Same goes for hand gestures that look like guns. You know - where you point your index finger out, or like.. your index and middle finger pointing out and your thumb cocked back (hah.. cocked) - BUT SERIOUSLY. I do that sometimes. *pew pew* But I always aim just to the side, so if it accidentally.. somehow.. went off, I wouldn't kill my friend/neighbour/boss/WHOEVER. I'd thank you to do the same.

is it just guns or can it be other toys that resemble real weapons?

CosmicDeath 2011-03-14 05:00:17

Hmm.. you mean like fake axes and swords and stuff? Yeah - I gotta admit, they instill similar fear. But I guess it seems less worrying cause projectile-firing weapons are harder to defend against.

I wonder if this is in any way related to that thing where you can trick your brain into reacting to falsified stimuli - like where you can fool the brain into temporarily thinking that a fake hand is your own, and therefore react to the fake hand being cut. But instead, this is long-term conditioning towards subconsciously fearing weapon shapes/the idea of weapons, regardless of being aware that they are not real and therefore not lethal.

I witnessed something bad that involved guns when I was a kid, which I'm not gonna go into here on my profile. But that's probably got something to do with it. And yet I have no problem shooting guns at the firing range. Toy guns just freak me out is all. Hell.. I won't even look down the end of a garden hose for the same reason, and I figure the worst that would come out of that is a blast of stale water and maybe some bugs. lol

Oi Joy. I don't think something like this will help you out any either... even if it is well drawn...
