• 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
