And the crowd just laughed at those people.

Because it was a different time, plus people who watch Maury are the ones most likely to approve of such jokes/topics

Probably because they volunteered for it. It's fucked up, but I can't place all the blame on him.

I remember a mod telling me that if you tell people what your phobia is, and they start antagonizing you about your phobia then "you were asking for it" and they won't' get modded for it and I needed thicker skin.

Maury, Springer, and all of those trash shows were widely ridiculed for being disgusting manipulative garbage that no one should watch even 'back then.'

They didn't really get the public pushback they deserved because there's still an overwhelming majority of people who would go back to watching circus side-shows if they could get away with it.

there's definitely a particular audience when it comes to people who are home watching daytime TV between 9 and noon

First off, I think that's a bad answer from the mod, and if that's popicy then it's a bad policy.

I always wonder, how did people figure out Superman was weak to Kryptonite? Did he tell them? Did someone just happen to have some amd he seemee off that day and they put it together? How much experimentation would that take, anyway? It seems like someone must have broken his trust, right? Is there canon about this?

Is that like subconscious association or does she tell people who don't believe that they're wrong?

Also because you were probably in school when these aired. This show i think was on when kids would be in class, the show was mostly watched by adults who were not in an office during the afternoon.

When I was younger, I think I ever saw bits of this show if I stayed home sick

Well I mean this dog shit has been on air for like 20 years. Idiots at work put this garbage on in the break room sometimes.

Tbf, exposure is the correct response to a phobia. Though these shows are obviously staged.

Don't get me wrong. Even if I disagree with the mod I fully accept the rule he brought here. I'll just never ever talk about what extremely grosses me out and then no one will ever get to troll me for it, even if that kinda trolling is allowed.

Arouse acute anxiety? What do you think a phobia is? It's an anxiety disorder. Don't overthink it.

Less of an internet and social media presence back then. Most people knew he was trash and looked down on those types of episodes.

Wasn't it mostly housewives who watched those, along with their "stories"

Oh and kids who were home from school when they were sick.

Yeah, maybe if they didn't have a 100% success rate with bringing everybody back out at the end of the show and having them all magically "cured" of their phobias by some psychologist within a couple hours it wouldn't have totally broken my suspension of disbelief

Depends on canon. Apparently the current(?) comic version has him discover it when fighting Metallo, a cyborg powered by a kryptonite heart.

In the DCAU, Superman is stopping a robbery a natural history museum which happens to be housing shards of it. Luthor notices that he gets weak and figures it out from there.
