ASMR to me seems like weird fetish poo poo.

Believe it or not it really is a reaction that some people get. I know because I used to get it all the time when I was a little kid. Episodes of Painting with Bob Ross would trigger it for me and I would get this weird sensation of pulsating "relaxation" that would start on the crown of my scalp and pass over my entire head. I would just be completely zoned out and zombified. My parents thought it was weird at first but then figured out they could use it to make me calm the gently caress down when I was being annoying.

At some point I stopped having that reaction and now Bob Ross just sounds like a whispering hippie to me same as anyone else. The closest sensation I've felt to ASMR in my adult life was when I was in a wreck and the doctor gave me the really good pain pills.

Edit: Though I guess it must have turned into a weird fetish thing at some point. I can't imagine people with actual ASMR are sustaining all of these video creators.

I think it's like the cilantro gene - I definitely get a feeling from it, but instead of being calming it instantly makes me want to punch through my monitor.

People deny ASMR is a sex thing too vehemently for it not to be at least a little bit a sex thing.

A tangled skein of bad opinions, the hottest takes, and the the world's most misinformed nonsense. Do not engage with me, it's useless, and better yet, put me on ignore.
When I hear the sound of ice cracking, or little metallic bits falling onto metal, I *get* what people like about ASMR. But the moment it's intentional, like a person specifically tapping on a thing to produce the noise, I loving hate it, I hate it so loving much

He was trying to mount the tire on the rim with an explosion, which is a thing you can do but I've only ever seen it done with aerosols. I'm not sure what he poured into that thing but it was too much, clearly.

It was the use of det cord, which is generally used to set off much larger explosions. If you're trying to seat a tire, you use something that is merely combustible, like gasoline or benzene just to "poof" the tire to get it to seat so you can inflate it.

This was just like tossing a quarter stick of dynamite in and hoping it follows the same principles.

I checked Youtube for the ASMR videos with the highest view counts just to see what's actually popular and there's absolutely no way it's not a fetish thing, just going by the thumbnails alone. There's a whole lotta people gagging on vaguely phallic items and foreign objects being pried out of body parts

I just posted about this in the First World Problems thread. I watched a random youtube video about an old man in a traditional Japanese barber shop because it seemed cool and, being bald, I actual do kinda miss getting haircuts. I failed to see that it was ASMR, because the title was also in Japanese and I didn't pay it much mind.

I've now blocked maybe 100 different channels and wiped my entire youtube history to try and stop the creepy bullshit youtube's been recommending to me ever since.

I can sympathise with people who are so starved for human interaction that a video where a woman makes intense eye contact with the camera while pretending to comb your hair and whisper spitting into a microphone seems attractive. I can pity them even.

Just, please, keep your creepy bullshit out of my recommendations.

I think it’s interesting that there is still no IRL version of ASMR. Millions of people are into it and you would think since it’s ostensibly an exercise in titillation, there would be an entire branch of the sex trade rubbing combs, scraping foam and saying “you’re my good and special boy” for $250 an hour.Do you just need headphones and that’s what limits you to digital media?
Millennials are killing the pervert sex market .

I opened an ASMR video once and I found it incredibly infuriating personally. Something about whispering that's like nails on a blackboard to me. And actually I am not terribly bothered by nails on a blackboard.

I attribute something awful for inoculating me against a lot of the weirder contemporary trends. I discovered SA by way of one of the Gorgeous George threads, in which everyone came together to ridicule this bizarrely self-obsessed man who had somehow secured an hour on a local public access channel to broadcast a show about himself. For some reason, one of the things that most bothered me about Gorgeous George was that he had this obsessive tick where every few seconds he would break eye contact with the camera and look somewhere off-screen. It was clear he was checking a monitor of the current feed to see if he still looked good, and it was distracting enough that it's one of the things I remember most about this deeply strange man.

now when I watch videos of some influencer droning on into their phone about some bullshit or tapping a microphone with their acrylic nails or whatever and they never once look into the camera, but the screen below it comprised solely of their own face, all I see is Gorgeous George.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fyQtjcf_O3Y&t=2082s

it's unfortunate the TikTok format doesn't really lend itself to allowing viewers to call in live to an influencer's feed to flush a toilet
