If I remember correctly, hiv is usually associated with foreigners, right? so the anxiety is a little different, since in america it's associated with drug users and gay men (so, lots of homophobic fear as well as stigmatizing addicts). still, there's a lot of overlap.<br /><br />you're welcome! i love discussing stuff like this. it's like how people will use more common monsters to explore fear as well, like how vampires or zombies changed a lot depending on what they were meant to evoke. Did you know, 50s movies like the Pod People, where humans are infiltrated by unseen forces, are largely about the Red Scare and fear of communists "hiding in plain sight" at the time.Steeplenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2424102700579341189.post-10543179047299675072020-12-17T19:29:25.346+09:002020-12-17T19:29:25.346+09:00We have Hiv related stories tooπββ¨

It's nonsense of course, but urban legends reflect the anxieties of a culture. I think its interesting that what's hiv in one country is a mental illness in another.<br /><br />although, i think the silliest example of disease urban legends was that rumor that you could get hiv or hep C from sitting on public toilets. aren't urban legends interesting?Steeplenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2424102700579341189.post-65900128817724171212020-11-20T10:09:04.333+09:002020-11-20T10:09:04.333+09:00I am glad you liked it!ππβ¨I love stories that ha...I am glad you liked it!ππβ¨I love stories that have no clear explanation because it makes them creepier!

A similar situation happened to me, but it was a situation where my mother pushed me to be friends with a boy who had no friends. He was difficult to handle, rumors started as how bad influence was and how kids should be avoiding him. Years later, I found that he suffered, from what we nowadays know, as autism. I never saw him again.S.P.https://www.blogger.com/profile/06004261805280291728noreply@blogger.com
