You have a high threshold for horror.
Look, i'm not saying the Manson murders weren't bad, they were. But in the last 50 years, either one of us could list a litany of crimes against people and children that make the manson murders look tame.
Fundamentally my point is that people can't be faulted nowadays for not knowing about all this Manson shite, it was last century. And if the only way to enjoy a movie about this stuff, is to know the history, then that's the problem of the movie maker, not the audience.
Quentin Tarantino made Hollywood for two kinds of people. People that knew the history of the Manson murders and would get the joke. And people that didn't know the history but were willing to research it.
Well I know the history but even if I didn't, I'm not doing a homework assignment and reading a few wiki pages before I see a movie, just so I can get the punch line of a really long winded joke.

Yes. I understand and agree with all your points. I admitted in my original post my liking it is subjective, me being, rather humorously, both types of his audience. It worked for me for reasons I mentioned in an earlier post.
The "high tolerance for horror" seemed aimed at you. It wasn't. It would have been better said "we", or "one" have/has a high tolerance for it just for the reasons you noted-brutality, cruelty, and mindless killings , year after year, piled one on top of the other. We get calloused.
