I think the one that stands out as least accurate is the double-disgust being "prejudice." It's not that's it's really wrong it's just that all the other doubled ones are just amplified and I'm not sure that prejudice is really a "disgust but amplified", personally.

I agree! Double disgust seems more like revolted or nauseated. Or maybe aversion?

Revulsion is probably what I'd go with. Change fear and disgust's combination to dread.

I'd also probably change the combination of disgust and sadness from self-loathing to either regret or pity since I don't think all applications of both sadness and disgust would be self-directed.

Same with most of them. I don't think more than 2-3 are labeled correctly.

Vox does not know the definition of melancholy.

I would have accepted nostalgia as an appropriate sadness and joy pairing.

Also anxiety is NOT sadness and fear. I think that should be something like despondent or despair and then the sadness-sadness would be depression.

Likewise I think prejudice would be disgust and fear and disgust-disgust would be revulsion.

Also is the green emotion canonically disgust? Not envy/jealousy? I only half paid attention when my niece was watching the movie.

As per the trailer for Inside Out 2, Anxiety is a whole new character to appear in the new movie.

Vox is full of bullshit presented with earnesty and flair but the bullshit is never so egregiously bad they get enough complaints to stop doing it.

They're the r/coolguides of websites

sadness-sadness would be depression.

Wait I thought the implication in the first film was that depression was when your emotion console thing stops working and you can't feel properly at all. Granted it's years since I seen it

Yeah it is. Which was a much better description than theirs.

[-] weariedfae@lemmy.world 5 points 9 months ago

To be honest I don't think I've watched the whole movie. I was just tripping on the Vox chart word definitions.

Yeah, she's disgust. Jealousy isn't part of the movie.

Fear & Disgust & Anger in Las Vegas.

Except that they are making a sequel where they will retcon in anxiety in as being a new emotion on its own (never mind that no one else was shown with anxiety as a separate emotion, including adults.

This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.
