I've heard about this show a little here and there online and saw some of the reaction to that episode, and the thing that got me the most were the people who felt the show needed to take responsibility for those who were triggered and self-harmed and whatnot after that episode. I can understand people being upset to lose a character they love, as well as seeing a favorite ship end so tragically. And I can also understand people being frustrated at not seeing a happy non-straight couple on TV.

But...I just can't quite get on board with the idea that a TV show should be responsible for a viewer's mental health. I feel for anyone who is struggling with self-harm and suicidal thoughts, and I understand wanting to seek comfort in entertainment that can help people through that stuff. But to blame the TV show for triggering them just seems...I dunno.

Also, from what I do know about this show, it's pretty violent and dark and a lot of people die in general. If somebody wants to watch and root for happy, long-lasting couples of ANY sort, I'm thinking this would not be the show for them.
