Huh. I checked out the first two pages of the wiki, and I must not have been a literal-minded child, because I swear I was never traumatised (or really mildly creeped out) by any of that stuff.

Of course, I don't think I made it out of the animated stuff, so maybe that's not a fair assessment. I think in general, I was very able to separate animated=not real from live-action=real, and was therefore only really ever scared by live-action stuff.

But wouldn't being literal-minded keep you from being scared? Either way, I rather envy you - that sort of separation's a good skill to have at a young age. ;)

There's a section on live-action TV, movies, and video games, so those are covered too. (May I tempt you with Are You Afraid of the Dark/)

Yus, that show was the one thing on Nick that I could never watch without nightmares.

I think being literal-minded tends to make a child take everything they see literally--so if someone gets run over in a cartoon and turned into a flapjack, then of course it could happen to you! I was never one of those kids.

Hmm. Good point. Although avoiding getting run over is also a useful life skill in and of itself. :)
