Just be happy she can really feel something.

Why isn't there an age rating guidline system for books like their are for movies (MPAA) or video games (ESRB)?

>>8999560
goddammit. I wish /pol/ would just fuck off already.

>>8999548
Wasn't the climax of one of these stories literally just a guy stepping on a nail?

Enjoy your sheltered, inept, unfeeling, vapid offspring, Helicopter Parent.

>>9000505

nothing wrong with those besides STDs. personally I don't want tattoos or piercings, but I don't see why it's a big deal and I would love to date a qt Asian girl.

>>9000516

The fuck? So not wanting my 12-year-old to accidentally read the Marquis De Saude is "helicopter parenting"?

>>9000569

And I'm probably enjoying my life more than your bitter, deluded, friendless, virgin NEET ass who's going to die alone without accomplishing anything significant.

>>9000579

The probability of Hell existing is slim to none, and I doubt God would take my "degeneracy" as seriously as you do.

Also what exactly are you doing to "save your race"? Are you breeding with white women? Because being a keyboard warrior doesn't do jack shit.

>>9000588

Kek.

Trump getting elected was a fluke. He lost the popular vote by more than 3 million people. That means MORE people in the country are against him than not. Don't think he's gonna actually change anything. Remember when people thought Obama was gonna make a big difference? Yeah.

How are images ever scary? Normies are so retarded.

My mother let me watch R rated movies like IT since I was an infant, she told me I was afraid of nothing. I blame my autism.

I remember the stories didn't freak me out when I was little, it was just those nasty drawings. I still don't see why people are so quick to defend this book. I sure wouldn't show it to any kid.

>>8999548
congrats your daughter has autism

>>8999560
You keep samefagging every.single.thread just STOP! Do you have a life or something?

>>9000858
I think you get my point; movies and images just weren't real enough for me. The only thing I was scared of when I was a baby were video games. The Resident Evil series and Eternal Darkness got me pretty good.

I started coming to /b/, bestgore.com, shock sites, etc when I was a prepubescent. Not sure what was wrong with me.

>>9001457
I mean rotten.com

Bestgore was after I grew out of that stuff.

>>8999548

Yes, the nail story is real. Most of the stories aren't that good, but the drawings are A+.

OTOH Amphigorey Too scared the absolute shit out of me when I was a little boy. Now I love Gorey and have all of those anthologies. So maybe your daughter will grow up to love the books, through a years-long process of aesthetic realization, like what I had.

I kinda want to buy a set of these books but I don't want to be seen wandering solo in the kid's section of the bookstore.

>>9000618

Obama was (God, how great it is to literally and meaningfully apply the past tense to that man) a very effective president. You're an idiot if you believe otherwise. It's exactly because he has been so effective at ramming policy down our throats, presto-chango legislating via executive orders, and overall leading the poz charge in the national culture, that Trump came to be. Had Obama been ineffectual in the types of things that he had wanted to do (or in executing the bunglings that he did), then the requisite forty-five percent or so of the electorate would not have been as fired up as they were, nor would they have prevailed over the tyranny of the majority and effected the correct choice, as the constitution wisely and blessedly makes possible.

I read this to my 6 and 3 year old this halloween. They were like "oh, ghosts".

I think your kid is literally autistic

>>9000122
The brick wall one? There's like 3 books, probably more than one hospital story

Also not scary; just a great fucking story desu

A lot of the stories aren't scary intentionally; they have at least one joke

>>9002445
The illustrations are famously "too much" but the stories themselves people forget are cheesy as hell.

>>9000122
What the hell? I read this book in third grade.

>>9002457
a kid went in to get his tonsils removed. He was put in the same room as a kid who had to get his arm removed. The other kid kept trying to escape and shit, and he was edgy and a troublemaker. They both had to stay overnight. The people came in at night to take the TONSIL kid to get his ARMS removed! and he was like "no you want the other guy, he switched our charts!" and the guy was like "yeah right, it says right here you'll say anything get out of it" and they rolled him out of the room, and he looked back at the other kid and he had a smug pepe grin

>>9002321

Your simple emotional appeal delights me as it indicates that you cannot substantively refute any of my rhetoric. In this moment of triumphlism, I most certainly shall not yield, not even for an instant. What is necessary is a fixing, which requires a pushing, since a wrong pulling, so very hard in the other and wrong direction, had previously taken place. Now we have a signal opportunity to obviate ninety percent of that nonsense in one hundred days.

I'm going to keep on being mean, with the simple caveat of not not being /a total reprehensible dick/ about it. But mean I shall continue to be, because that is exactly what is required. It may cause the right people to spontaneously grow some skin, spine, that type of thing. Exactly the type of thing that conservatives have robustly grown and nurtured, and from which point they have successfully argued their corner, howling to the contrary.

>>8999548
Never read this as a kid, is it spoopy enough for an adult to enjoy or is it pretty safe kiddie stuff like I'd expect it to be?

Last I heard they had published a new shitty one with different, milder art. Wouldn't surprise me that the old ones are still floating around libraries though. Those three books are an essential part of childhood.

>>9002541
It's pretty spoopy desu

>tfw no kids to read this to

I read that book when I was in grade school, I fucking loved it and the illustrations. The stories were creepy as fuck for a child, yet funny at the same time. The pictures really added to the "This is fucking creepy as shit vibe" too which I loved.

Its a shame they changed them.

>>9004287

It's funny that you go to that phrase, "take seriously". Nobody took Donald Trump seriously as a presidential candidate. Whoopsie daisy.

>>9000109

We cant hide information from our children because we think it is "too bad for them". This blocks them from forming their own opinion, turning them into mindless puppets of their parents will, even after childhood. Its fucked up.

>>9000579
most of your ancestors wouldn't recognize "white" as a race, they would consider stuff like English or French or maybe Scandinavian or British to be races, at best it would be as broad as Slavic
also why would you eat in Heaven?
