Are people still throwing up at the sight of him, though? That's what my whole question kind of hinges on.
I mean, in the book, he doesn't look that bad to me, and even less so in the show. If people are still throwing up, that would just feel absurd... he looks like a kid who's sucked his lips into his mouth to make a funny face, only a bit more so.
No, no vomiting at this point. In the first season, people's typical response to seeing him was anger, because the townspeople reacted to the story of what happened, not his appearance. Most felt like he got what he deserved.
We haven't seen him outside of the town, except for Hell.
I saw a documentary about twenty years ago about a kid who failed a suicide pact with a buddy and took his own face off with a shotgun. He finished the job between the time the documentary was filmed and released. It doesn't take a lot for people to be considered a monster in our society.
