    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.

        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

      I've not seen season 4 but let me guess. The showrunners for some reason decided they needed more horrific depictions of supe rape?

          Cake farts! Didn't Better Call Saul do that also with Squat Cobbler? But they were much more tasteful with it, imo

      Yeah, the gore doesn’t really bother me, but him being restrained like that was extremely uncomfortable. The tickling shit made me squirm in my seat.
