I mean, yes, a lot of horror media boils down to “wouldn’t it be fucked up?”, but let’s not be reductive – there are several distinct subgenres of “wouldn’t it be fucked up?”, including but not limited to:

Proposing a very improbable situation, then gesturing toward it and asking “man, wouldn’t this be fucked up?”  

Wildly exaggerating an everyday state of affairs in order to demonstrate that it was, in fact, always fucked up.  

Taking a thing that it’s broadly agreed is fucked up and making it a different kind of fucked up.  

Inventing a new type of guy, then pointing at the guy and going “this guy is fucked up.”  

Grabbing the audience by the shoulders like, no, man, the fucked up thing is, like, a metahpor. For a different thing. That is also fucked up.  

Taking a genuinely innocuous situation and through some unlikely contrivance rendering it fucked up.  

Making a thing that self-referentially gestures at itself and asks “isn’t it fucked up that this is so fucked up?”  

Framing a fantastical scenario and asking “is this fucked up? why is it fucked up? what does it mean to be fucked up? what is ‘fucked’? what is ‘up’?”

“And if they ever ask about me, tell them I was more than just a great set of boobs. I was also an incredible pair of legs. And tell them… tell them that I never turned down a friend. I never turned down a stranger for that matter.”
