An Attempt at less scary gas masks (i.chzbgr.com)

This did not help the situation, imo I don't believe they would actually be considered "less scary". But if they worked, they worked?

Actual article for more details here: Did you know Walt Disney designed the world’s weirdest gas mask?

True, I think that's a great point. I'm sure there are many things that are now considered cringe or scary that were not back in their day. At the time, it was probably a good marketing move, now it's creepy af.

I think clowns would be another example along those lines, less common now because it's more common to be scared of them thanks to movies and so forth.
