To many, whisper content in commercials and other A/V is the equivalent of nails on a chalkboard or someone clipping their finger nails.
Can think of few trends that are so anxiety and discomfort inducing as intentional loud whispering. I sincerely hope it disappears as quickly as it arrived.
- tfha 8y agoEasy solution: don't watch it. Commercials may be hard to avoid but an asmr YouTube channel is very easy to avoid. If it's not your thing, move on. I enjoy it very much
- dmix 8y agoNot always as easy as you make it sound, it's hard to avoid it when you live with (or share a bed with) someone who is really into ASMR.
- asmrisgross 8y agoThis is a poor excuse for not being accepting of someone who doesn't like it. People are allowed to not enjoy things and even think they are stupid. I ran into it here, without even trying.
- telchar 8y agoI find the same thing about typically yelling-at-you advertisements, particularly when interspersed with ASMRey or otherwise non-bombastic content. Maybe we can do something about that (Google? You listening?).
- dmix 8y agoAlso those radio station hosts who are always yelling and speaking loudly throughout the whole show, as if loud noises and phony excited speaking will make a boring show entertaining.
- dmix 8y agoSame, I demand my partner uses headphones whenever she listens to ASMR in bed (which is pretty often). It makes me very uncomfortable. It's almost an irrational reaction, but a real and uncontrollable one for me.
- asmrisgross 8y agoNot irrational. If someone forced me to listen to ASMR or even worse, watch a video on it, I'd probably give them anything they wanted. It's a form of torture to me and makes me absolutely fucking hate myself for being the same species as the person on screen. I don't know why, but people who like ASMR and people who write ASMR content make me sick for absolutely no reason other than this. I am unable to stop my reflex of gagging, tensing and cringing of my entire face. It's not a phobia as I consider myself superior to the people on screen and having nothing to fear. It's more like an allergy or symptom (like reading in a moving car).
- Kiro 8y agoI wouldn't be able to live with someone who couldn't stand ASMR, much less someone who would get irritated by it.
- dmix 8y agoRelationships are full of compromises like this. I put up with it occasionally but generally asking her to wear headphones when she listens to ASMR (which I believe youre supposed to anyway) is not a big ask.
- xarball 8y agoYou can even go the extra step and get them realistic noise-canceling ones for sleeping. They'll probably even thank you for it!
- manigandham 8y agoWhispering is only 1 of an infinite number of ASMR triggers. Everyone has their own thing. It's strange to wish for it to disappear without even seemingly understanding it in the first place.
