    I mean, I do think it went downhill, but the “woke” stuff has been there since the beginning. That one scene with Huey in Tek Knight’s basement was really unpleasant, it’s a large part of why I don’t like the new season.

    • yea im kinda sick of getting recommended stuff and discovering scenes like that. between the boys, the 3d berserk anime, and watching the movie flesh and blood recently, all the media friends are exposing me to is basically having a negative overall impact on my psyche. i don’t know how to tell people that the media they are showing me is traumatizing me without coming across as some kind of anti-fun prude who can’t enjoy anything, no matter how politely and gently i try to explain.

        Here’s some movies for you which do not have scenes “like that”, though they might still deal with some heavy themes.

        Cherry Blossoms (2008)

        Broken Circle Breakdown

        Flickering Lights (Contains animal cruelty, violence and a young and very greasy Mads Mikkelsen)

        The Fall Guy

        The Nice Guys

        12 Angry Men

        Around Cape Horn (very cool documentary, does also have some animal cruelty)

        The Triplets of Belleville

        Lola Rennt

        Amadeus (It almost has a scene like that where Amadeus wife is made to have sexual relations with his superior, but then his superior gets mad because she’s cool with it)

        Goodbye Lenin

        Die Welle

        Victoria (does have sex, if I recall correctly)

        Pans Labyrinth

        The Labyrinth (has David Bowie in a very tight outfit)

        Rumble in the bronx (1995)

        Battle at Lake Changjin

        Another Round

        Troll hunter

        Force Majeure

        Ford Vs Ferrari

        The intouchables (white saviour trope though)

        Souls Kitchen

        A somewhat Gentle Man

        My partner and I just got recommended a film ‘about sexworkers’ that the most revolting violent sexscene I’ve ever seen. Shit kinda freezes you, my trick is just saying ‘I’m skipping this’ and fast fwding

        the boys literally gave me a week of nightmares because of the ott gore lol

      It went too far with all the gore this time imo. I have a pretty high tolerance for that kind of stuff but this show just keeps trying to outdo itslef and it’s starting to really annoy me

      I think showrunnes are now realising what kind of gross stuff they can put out on online streaming platforms and a lot of them have absolutely no restraint. Reminds me of that south park episode where they tried to say the word “fuck” as much as possible after TV stations lifted a lot of restrictions they had on swearing

      • I was wondering whether to watch this season or not, but your comment convinced me not to. The gore has always been a bit upsetting to me, and if that’s ratcheted up this season alongside being more aggressively lib I’m good on that.

        So thank you
