The thing is that in some of those shows (like GoT), but even True Detective or Hannibal - some really, really horrible things happen to white male characters, too. Hell, in GoT and Breaking Bad, I'd say MOST bad shit happens to (white) male characters.


Obviously no-one is obligating you to watch anything, you can hate a show and I'm not going to convince you otherwise.


I agree some scenes were more gratuitous than they should have been. But, I think it's completely unfair to state that most those shows specifically single out women for (sexual) violence against them. And, I also think, that in my of the cases, the sex and violence ARE actually part of the narrative, and the way characters develop.

Again, it's perfectly valid to hate it as a genre, but it's not bad storytelling.

I don't like unnecessary crap aimed at white male characters, either, it's only more frustrating when it's women/nonwhites because there's usually a lot less of them in the primary roles than white dudes, and a lot more of those white dudes are gonna get away scott free than the minorities.

Like I said, I don't care that bad things happen, and it's totally fair that some folks consider certain scenes or events more necessary to a story that I do - I can argue my opinion, but ultimately it's just that, an opinion. What I was protesting is that the idea that if I don't like it, it must be because I can't deal with dark topics. My problem is usually with the way I feel such topics are handled, not that they happen at all. There's stories/scenes wherein I feel violence, particularly violence against women, is handled capably, and stories/scenes where I feel it isn't.

I think I'll copy this one, too.
