      Being around big scary predators is something we're pretty well hardwired to be afraid of So people drawn to this as their hobby have had some crucial switch flipped in their head to turn "fear" into "excitement", and that manifests in other wayshttps://twitter.com/JamesRenner/status/1244637295136976903 …

      My exotic pet story: I was a reporter in Cleveland and did a story on a guy who had bears he loaned to bars for wrestling nights. He became a suspect in a murder and then died chained to his own bed with a dildo in his mouth. Something about that lifestyle attracts strange people

      This is pretty much exactly the theory for how toxoplasmosis changes the brains of rats, btw It's not that it makes them "love cats" exactly it's that it flips fear into arousal, it makes them run towards cats rather than away because they get off on the rush

      There's a famous neuroscience-case-study patient ("S.M.") with congenital amygdala damage who went on a trip with the researchers to an exotic pet store and was FASCINATED with the snakes/spiders, wanting to pick them up, etc.

      Replying to @georgetakesajob @arthur_affect

      The brain marks things as "special" or salient that have to do with deep-seated evolutionary fears, so the "normal" fear response often gets redirected into curiosity, fascination, arousal. It's a cliche that a lot of common fetishes spring up around things that scare people.

          There was a thread a while back about Jackass and their whole adrenaline/humiliation/fear/pain kink And the guys from Jackass copped immediately in an interview to it being a homoerotic thing, "It wasn't gay subtext it was gay text"
