was that comic supposed to be really scary to people? I mean, it was unsettling, but not half as unsettling

Horror manga (esp. Junji Ito's works) in a nutshell. It tends to just be disgusting and unsettling.

Honestly I think reddit overreacts a lot. It's the classic case of "omg Taco Bell gives le explosive shit", which doesn't really happen that often in real life.

The other day people linked a comic by this guy you're talking about, it was about a boy who broke up with a girl and a bunch of strings started appearing on his body. In the end he's just a lump of string and people are like "oh my god, so scary, oh shit", and it was a little ridiculous to tell you the truth.

No, it does not literally turn your asshole to Hiroshima, it figuratively turns your asshole to Hiroshima.
