Something Doesn't Make Sense

[gonzai]

So I've been watching a bunch of TV shows and movies lately...a LOT of them...and I've concluded that there are three things I really, really can't deal with seeing on film.

1. Cruelty/violence to animals
2. Heights and the view therefrom
3. Decapitation.

Which begs the question - why in the HELL do I watch Game of Thrones? 'tis a mystery.

(And dang it, Daredevil hit 2 of the 3)

I'm heartily sick of animal killings, too. I know the world is not a warm and fuzzy place. And I don't think all of my entertainment should be Disney-fied and frivolous. But I'm getting tired of the wanton shock value and overly sensationalized gruesomeness as a ratings grabber.

Admittedly, I don't really care if I see human beings die. We're all shits, so whatever. Probably why I find Hannibal to be so morbidly fascinating. But I'm sick of seeing innocents being tortured, raped and murdered. I don't mind gore, but I want it with the satisfaction of justice behind it. I want to see a vile mass murderer be eviscerated, not some poor bunny rabbit.
