    Sometimes I go back and read this again to be sure I’m not wrong and it’s actually written the way I remember.

    Jodorowsky hates video games and is bizarrely fascinated by castration.

      Jodorowsky hates video games

      I would assume that he is just very old school and video games are probably not his kind of thing privately but then I would also like to remind you that Albino

      in the end changes the mind numbing videogame industry to produce games that have players meditate and reach a higher state of mind to master the game.

      So maybe Jodo just hates what he would consider bad videogames?

      bizarrely fascinated by castration.

      And not just castration, any kind of mutilation. Just think of the punishment scenes in Technopriests and the coming of age rituals in Metabarons. Even worse, don’t forget rape, the dude is obsessed with rape. I love his worldbuilding with all my heart from when I was a child but those graphic violence, rape and mutilation scenes all over the place are so over the top it’s a little cringe, especially in the projects which he did without Moebius.
