She did actually say in one of the 'IRL Throw Quarters at Us' streams in direct response to the question 'What is Kat's favorite horror film?' "I don't really have on. .horror movies kind of freak me out. I don't really watch them, so I don't really have one." (If my autism goes into overdrive I've been meaning to go through and fully annotate those 2 streams with timestamps one of these days)I think it was Phil that said Kat avoided violence and gore. In this post in the "Phil Vs. Tevin thread", I countered Phil's claim by going over one of Kat's Walking Dead playthroughs.
On the one hand this makes me think Dave did some autistic coaching about refusing to admit her favorites lest they become a 'detractor meme' that will 'hurt my business', but on the other hand it may not specifically be Gore and Violence that she shies away from. "Horror" films tend to have lots of high tension moments, vulnerable characters terrified and losing their shit, jump scares, maniacs who can't be reasoned with screaming and doing crazy shit; things that might overstimulate someone with anxiety issues.
It could also be argued that 'The Walking Dead' TV show is more of a Soap Opera set against the backdrop of a Zombie Apocalypse than it is a more intense horror experience. Certainly there are frequently segments that have plenty of Gore and Violence, but I find there isn't much tension or suspense it's more overly dramatic from clashing personalities.
I'm willing to believe her that she doesn't watch most horror/thriller/suspense style films and TV shows, but that it has nothing to do with Gore and Violence. Phil certainly has tried to sell an 'OwO my GF so shy, dainty, and squeamish. She a delicate flower we must protcc" narrative, and whether it's because he's either lying to forward an agenda or because he really doesn't know anything about her and can't be bothered to pay attention to her interests, Phil is still a lying douchebag who is 'WRONG!!!!'
