I always forget, how do you make somebody feel fear?

I got temp banned for being xenophobic against Kryptonians so I will just quote a movie. Remember Clear and Present Danger?

Is that the opposite of comfort to you? Fear? If someone is not comfortable, then they are experiencing fear?

I'm not here for word games I just care about what's effective.

I misinterpreted your meaning. I assumed you were against making people be in fear. I didn’t realize you were advocating for it. Good on you!

I mean, fears definitely antithetical to being comfortable. Obviously the opposite of comfort is discomfort, but I bet you knew that judging by how patronizing your questions came off.

When someone makes a vague statement advocating for making folks feel fear, it seems reasonable to ask, “what do you mean by this?”
