(Anonymous) 2019-05-11 11:17 pm (UTC)(link)Because the thing is, real shit is bound by reality, and I can apply reason and rationality to it. I'm not afraid of serial killers because I know that the odds I will fall prey to a serial killer are infinitesimal, and I also know that I can to take measures to protect myself against most forms of real-life threat.
Whereas once I suspend my disbelief and allow a supernatural entity to exist in my imagination, it isn't bound by reality and I can't apply reason and rationality to it. In a world where monsters exist, I have no idea how likely it is that one is hunting me right now, and I can't fight it and I can't get away from it; I am going to die horrified and helpless.
