Hapticity

At least one person feels that watching Pleo being tortured can be traumatizing, if not on the same level as watching real animal torture, at least on the same spectrum. I can see where she was coming from. My own emotional reaction was to first feel disturbed, and then amused at the fact that I was feeling honest disgust, then disturbed again, then more amusement, etc., until the arrival of the final frame, full of bitterness and death; I held my breath for a moment or two, and then burst out laughing.
