I've mentioned it in other threads, but I felt that the scene where the assistant got killed in Jurassic World was pure cruelty for the sake of it. I got real uncomfortable watching that, it was so pointlessly mean.

It's also what turned me off on Elfenlied when I saw its first episode. Notably when that random secretary or something got her head twisted off and used as a meatshield. I then turned off the show and never looked back.

Oh and 12 Years A Slave reveled a bit too much in its physical torture as well if you ask me. An excellent movie otherwise.

A similar complaint can be made at the Kingdom of Heaven. That movie just HATES the Christians. If a crusader isn't a time traveling atheist then he's going to be depicted as a terrible person who just can't wait to kill all Muslims and flaunts all the laws of god when not doing that. When the movie runs out of Templars to bully it just mutates a Bishop who offered to ransom himself for the common men into someone who wants to flee Jerusalem at the first sign of trouble and just abandon all the citizens to their fate.
Really? I can only think of one small batch of Christian characters being villanous, and that's the main Templar guys. That bishop was just cowardly which is a different beast entirely. All the other Christian characters, from Liam Neeson's band at the beginning to Jeremy Iron's character and of course the main character, were all pretty awesome. If anything I felt that the movie was real clear in its message that only a minority of Christian crusaders were real "murder all infidel Muslims" type people and that the most of 'em just wanted everyone to live together and somewhat get along.

Mind you, this is going on the Director's Cut. Aka the only cut worth watching. It's been ages since I've watched the theatrical release, I won't be surprised if they fucked around with the characterizations there.
I'm going by the regular cut and there it really seemed like the Christians were just itching for their wise king to die so they could get a war started. The templar guys are depicted as the dominant faction and comments that the allies of the main character make implies that their way is pretty much the norm in the holy land

I wouldn't include the main character as an awesome Christian because he's not Christian. He's a time traveling Atheist and so are the ones who agree with him that ''war for religion is bad bro''.

Last thing that comes to mind is Jessica Jones. After around 5-6 episodes of watching Krysten Ritter get humiliated, abused and psychologically tortured, I just called it quits. The show wasn't doing anything for me. If the message was "Sexual abuse and rape are bad, m'kay", great, I got that. In the first episode or two. No need to hammer on about it and do very little else. When the main character wasn't being horribly abused, some other poor schmuck was being violated in some way. The show was going nowhere rapidly, and each episode was just 50 minutes of misery. Like a season-long snuff film.

Shame, really, as I think Ritter put in a really solid performance, and the show did sell me on Luke Cage as a character. It also didn't help that I find David Tennant mildly annoying at best...

The original cut is an abomination that rightfully flopped. The director's cut is an almost entirely different film. In it the Templars are a smaller faction, only dominant after certain plot developments. It also clearly defines the main character's motivations to go on a crusade as clearly Christian. Lastly it shows both Muslim and Christian sides as more reasonable, and the Templars feel more like outliers.

And, y'know, the plot and characters suddenly make flippin' sense. That helps.

Im going to say call of duty modern warfare 3. There is a part in the campaign where you are attacking a russian open pit mine, you take control of a drone and missile the crap out of people there. At the end of it the drone missiles a door and you storm this area to save the president. There are a bunch of shell shocked guys stumbling around, instead of taking them prisoner or something you are expected to shoot them, if you don't your ai teammates will. At this point in the campaign I'm kinda feeling battle fatigue anyway so the killing of enemies who are unable to fight back just makes me feel unpleasant even if I'm not the one doing it.

Whats really interesting is that I've replayed the campaign a few times and things always end up the same at that point, and the last 20 min of the campaign just becomes a slog to finish up.
At some point CoD became Edgelord's time traveling adventure. Probably the last time the explicit war crimes was in any way dramatic or made sense was the prisoner Molotov in WaW. Ever since then it's just been a parade of unnecessary hate with worrying fascist undertones. Spec Ops made me ill, but it didn't leave me as dirty as CoD games, since it had a point and lead somewhere other than "shoot the brown people".

Mine would have to be Bat-Miller. I consider that character to be the emblem of everything wrong with the Dark Age in comics. Oh, and along with that but later has to be what Marvel's Ultimate-verse turned into. We're talking everything from civil war to the Deadpool that Origins took its cues from.

I've also come to "get" why my mom hated Ren & Stimpy. When it got mean, it was for really no reason, like the staff just became unhinged. It was to the point where 75% of episodes were crueler than that one Zim episode with the time traveling pigs(which had an actual plot even if it was supremely fucked up). The show also didn't have the parody excuse. Well it did, but in the lazy "If I call it parody it's a shield no matter how much it doesn't apply".

I just couldn't get into the Witcher because I asked myself "If every single person died, would I care?" The answer I came up with was only for Siegfried. I loved him. You know why? Because he wasn't a miserable asshole, he was a decent person who wanted to do the right thing, and in a world where 95% of the people were assholes, I freaking adored him. You can write nice characters dark fantasy authors!
Honestly, I thought you were talking about the Witcher 2 until you mentioned Siegfried. Did you ever make it far into Chapter 2? Because while Chapter 1 tends to make everyone an asshole, Chapter 2 tends to make characters less of an asshole and at worst untrusting of Geralt initially, and that style sticks throughout the rest of the game. Sure, the game never really is the happiest game around, but it does take time to realize that not everyone is an asshole and that life isn't totally awful. In fact, one thing I remember liking about the first game (especially compared to the second) was that it didn't try so hard to be depressing and "mature". I would even argue that the game eventually comes to a point of viewing most people as having good intentions (just misguided) and the world as being mostly good. Geralt just can't enjoy the better parts of life as much because his work requires him to interact with the worst parts of it, but even then, he still manages to maintain a surprising amount of hope in the world (considering his generally emotionless nature anyways).

I got mid way through chapter 2 before I stopped playing. To be fair, my stopping had less to do with the tone and more than the mystery of that chapter was obtuse and frustrating. I felt like I was reading a mystery novel with half of the pages ripped out, being made to go question people I didn't know, being able to accuse the investigator when I had no idea why I should, eventually I just gave up and went for the obvious suspect that was so obvious it was clearly a red hearing and I couldn't even beat him because the combat in that game is ass. So yeah, bit of a rage quit. That and I was getting annoyed with Geralt, mainly because he came off as less jaded and more emotionally dead, considering he couldn't even bother to break out of his dull monotone when accusing someone of being a rapist. That at the very least calls for raising your voice.

But yeah, things were pretty fucking miserable in Witcher 2 as well. I did get Witcher 3 though, I hear that it lightened the hell up, so I'll get around to playing that sooner or later.

I generally like things which are nasty. Breaking Bad, Game of Thrones, No Country for Old Men, the lot. However, I don't like torture porn, because there's nothing tense or exciting in watching somebody being dismembered; it's just nasty. The only other piece of media I felt was too unpleasant for it's own good was A Simple Plan. It's just so grim and filled with characters who are unpleasant, but not fascinatingly so.

DC's "New 52" line, and it's recent movies have turned me off by just how dark and depressing it all is, with little-to no levity or fun. I can't wait until they retcon this shit away.

Also, I've have certain issues with certain third movie installments of certain anime franchises.

Neon Genesis Evangelion 3.0 - Basically the world is fucked due to Shinji's actions in the last movie, and things only seem to be getting worse. And while I'm not a fan of Shinji, I won't lie and say I didn't want to give him a hug after all the crap he went through. After all, he was trying to save someone he cared about and it blew up in his face. Also, why did the third movie take place 14 years after 2.0? That seems a bit much... And considering how the ending of 2.0 was turning out, I can't help but wonder if there was a different outcome planned, or maybe it was a lie? Goddmanit Anno, do we need to have a talk?!

Puella Magi Madoka Magica - Yes, this again. I wouldn't have such a problem with this movie if the end didn't piss me off so much. Long stor short, Homura went Witch due to the machinations of the Incubators (...Bunnycat is such a dick), but after some shenanigans the other characters are able to stop her rampage, and Madoka prepares to take her to Magical Girl Heaven... only for Homura to become a devil or something and trap them all in a dream world. What. The. HELL! I think the point was that Homura was driven to madness and obsession by her experiences (not that I blame her), but still... I'm not sure, but the ending was meant to either deconstruct the notion of a happy ending and/or fanworks that depict happy endings, or it was meant to lead up into a follow-up series - something that hasn't shown up yet. This strikes me as needlessly mean-spirited and morally despicable, not to mention the fact that this change-up ends up removing Madoka's character development. It ticks me off so much, even seeing the Incubators getting their just desserts in the end can't get the bad taste out of my mouth.

Oh, and the finale to Digimon Tamers is bullshit. They save the world, but the partners all have to go back to the Digital World? Haven't these guys been through enough?!

...Yeah, I have a problem with mean-spirited endings, what of it?

The original (UK) version of The Office. Too cringy and mean-spirited for my taste.

Oddly, didn't find the same thing with the US version w/ Steve Carrell. Maybe it's that he might as well have "Cast me in a comedy straight man role" stamped on his face, maybe the cultural distance, maybe the writing, maybe that Ricky Gervais has given me Grade 3 douchechills ever since the 11 o'clock show...

Torture porn movies. Nothing pleasant about skinny white girls being tortured, or some clown psycho engineering oddly karmatic ways to punish people using over-the-top death traps.

Also social media, which may be worse thing ever. Tumblrs, slacktivists, hashtivists, YouTube drama, twitter wars and the court of public opinion.

Oh fuck me raw, the court of public opinion is absolutely disgusting.

Family Guy is this for me these days and for the past few years. I mean the constant referrals to anyone on the right as a nazi for the longest time (which only stopped after Seth McFarland and Rush Limbaugh became friends), the use of stereotypes as jokes in-and-of-themselves (often times that didn't even make sense) and the poor attempts at mocking people McFarland disagrees with just turned me off, even more so then the gross-out ever did.

It feels these days that Family Guy is trying to be South Park on a lower TV rating, only with none of the wit.

That's why I stopped watching around season 7. Seth and whoever writes for him can eat a bag of shit.

My list:

Shaman King (the manga version) - When it gets towards the end. Watch the TV adaption, it's a lot more positive and way less insulting.

Gurren Laggan - Similar to the example above, the ending ruined the entire show for me. It was like the writers of Evangelion stepped in to screw over the characters as much as possible. When Kill La kill, which had a rough start in telling its story, does a way better ending than your spiritual predecessor, then you know there a problems with the writing. The ending in Gurren contradicted the messages and themes in the show. Originally, I was going to get a box set of the show, but backed out every time I thought about t he ending.

A Wind Name Amnesia - Crappy and wasted of a good concept from start to finish.

Black Lagoon - I couldn't get pass the third episode. Revy's constant wangsting about how much the world sucks and how God is dead was super aggrevating, and made me want smack her with lead pipe wrapped in barbwire.

Elfen Lied.... Nothing further.

Love Hina - No really. Even though it's a comedy, a majority of the cast is unlikable and needs a reality check.

Evangelion - Yep.

Attack on Titan & Walking Dead - Every supporting characters dies, and is just straight up misery porn.

Most mafia movies, all prison movies, and Menace II Society. There is really not much point in getting attached to the characters, nor caring what happens in the story.

DmC: Devil May Cry - Everybody knows the score. Fuck you Capcom and Ninja Theory.

Ed, Edd, Eddy - Unless it's the Big Picture Show. I suggest once you finished the movie, you never go back to the series again.

The Corpse Party anime. Whilst staying true to the games at all meant it was going to be full of suffering and and torture, the anime relishes in depicting the most horrible events in that universe (Children having their tongues cut out and being stabbed in the eye until the eye becomes "Soup-like in consistency" - the actual description from the game) in the most prolonged and gory manner possible, whilst adding many new horrible deaths that weren't in the games at all, just for the sake of being shocking.

The new Seth Rogan animated film Sausage Party (Apparently I just hate parties) is something I'll skip. The premise of the film being that food is actually sentient and self-aware (Much like the toys in Toy Story) and that much of the humour comes from them being killed and tortured as they are prepared for consumption. I'm really not comfortable with the scene of baby carrots (So basically, young children) panicking in their bag then screaming for their parents before being eaten alive.
I'm also not someone who would judge others for finding something amusing that I don't or working on such a thing, but I must admit I'm struggling to get inside the mindset of the people who made this film. I'm wondering if during the recording the voice artist was given directions like "Okay, that was great, but I still don't feel like the tone really captures the emotion of those childrens terror and anguish as they're being eaten alive. We're going to have to work on that a bit more, okay?"
I also have to wonder what it was like to animate said scene.

Not sure if they were doing it on purpose, but this really rubbed me the wrong way.


You know, I don't mind some racial humor here and there. I see what they were going for, the whole black people on welfare and racism in law enforcement, that can be funny when handled right but I think it has to do with the way this animation ties it all together that really bothers me.
It especially doesn't help when his face gets smashed in either. I don't mind graphic violence too often, this would be one of those times that I do.

Ehh, that's the kind of joke you could get away with in Family Guy, fairly tame as far as "adult animation" goes. Which is not to say I recommend seeing that movie, I've looked through the leaked script, and...my god. It's gonna be the Citizen Kane of terrible. The Plan 9 From Outer Space of modern cinema. There is a multi-page sentient food orgy scene. The mind boggles at the mere concept of this movie, let alone the fact that Seth Rogen somehow convinced Sony to make it.

Lots of stuff. Torture porn was recently mentioned, that's something I've never enjoyed. Don't really get off on home invasion or routine brutality films, either. Not a brand of horror I enjoy.

Most recently, the introduction of Negan in The Walking Dead. Not so much the show, which punked out, although it was still a miserable viewing experience, but the source material.

A fundamentally gentle, kind and caring man gets his head pulped by a barbed wire baseball bat in front of his helpless, screaming, weeping wife and friends while the killer capers and jokes and threatens and humiliates everyone. It's a BIT MUCH.

Ed, Edd and Eddy - I use to adore that show as a kid. It's responsible for some of the heartier laughs I've had in my childhood, but then I discovered something, I think, halfway around... season 2 or 3? Hard to tell with late 90s early 2000 cartoons since they weren't all that segmented. But yeah, I discovered that I no longer liked any of the characters. Litterally everyone was a dickhead. Those characters who weren't dickheads at first slowly became dickheads over time (Jimmy and Johnny, specifically). I swear the only character who I ended up being able to tolerate anymore was Edd, but even that was ruined by the fact that he was shit on by everyone for simple being in close proximity to Ed and Eddy. Eventually I got so frustrated with everyone that I stopped watching.

Yeah... Even as (and still) a huge fan of the series, the creator found a way to make a children's show where everyone's a dick and those that aren't either suffer from said dicks or end up becoming dicks themselves... Sure, the series finale of a movie throws in a redemption of a series twist that gives most of the characters another [another] look, but it doesn't change the overall dickery of the show...

OT: Speed Grapher... I watched this series twice because I still enjoy this series as a whole... But, my glob, did it find ways to make me feel uncomfortable... with the "fetish club" being the least uncomfortable aspect of my overall umcomfortableness with this particular series, which prevents me from wanting to buy it on DVD...

Other than that, there was this one hentai [OVA] series that was in a genre that I liked, but had an execution (HA!) that just made me go "Fuck it! I'm out!" because at that point, I was only watching it for the crisp animation you sometimes don't find in hentai [OVA] series...

Fox is unaffiliated with Fox News. That said, I agree with Zontar on that point. McFarlane is just a relentless douchebag towards anybody who disagrees with him on anything. He thinks that anybody who disagrees with him is stupid, period. As an example, when he did the episode Quagmire's Dad and the LGBT community did not respond kindly he called all f the dissenters "stupid". Yes, he knows better on LGBT issues than LGBT people. Anybody who disagrees with him is just clearly a, as he puts it, "stupid homosexual". The same guy thinks that abused people should stay in relationships with their abusers for the abuser's sake as well.
I actually have to agree with this, I don't cringe at many jokes, but Seth McFarlane has this way of twisting the knife that's not just a ribbing but more of a dehumanizing take down. I remember one in particular that was a halloween gag where Louis dressed as Laura Bush, and Peter dressed up as "the guy she killed" referring to a car accident she had when she was 17. She wasn't drunk driving or even speeding anything, although ultimately may have been at fault. That being said, the gag was something to effect of:

Quagmire: Who are you dressed up as Louis?
Louis: I'm Laura Bush,
Peter: And I'm the guy she killed. (peter is just himself with a tire Mark across his chest)
Quagmire: Oh that's right Laura bush Killed a guy,
Louis: (Dead Pan) yes that's right Laura Bush Killed a guy,
Peter: (Dead pan) Yep Laura Bush Killed a guy.....
(Awkward Silence)

I just didn't see what the Joke was there. Even if you hated the Bush's as much as he does, it wasn't a popular conversation piece, and while being a tragic mistake was not something she did because she was anything other than a normal 17 year old. I always felt like this was just a step too far into dark territory, and I didn't really feel like watching family guy for a while after that cause everything started to sound a little righteous and mean spirited.

The first thing I thought of when I read the title was those Youtube videos that seem to exist solely to trash on movies, books, games, celebrities, or whatever. The "entertainment" there is supposed to be the Youtuber pointing out the flaws with whatever subject they're focussing on, then making a big stink about it.

CinemaSins comes to mind. Putting aside the fact that sometimes their "sins" make no sense, their videos have just been getting longer and longer and longer - from "Everything wrong with movie X in 3 minutes" to "Everything wrong with yada-yada-yada in 19 minutes." You can't make 19 minutes of criticism, in their motor-mouth jump-cut style, without just plain making up some gripes for the sake of griping. Even Yahtzee only goes for five minutes or so, and he's usually telling actual jokes that are funny to hear.

There was also this video my friend showed me, from like a vegan channel or something, but the video was just the Youtuber talking about how great it was that this other Youtuber he had a spat with had just found out he had cancer, and that it was his own fault for not being a vegan.

Oh, here it is. [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Okd3vFUwqj4] Seriously, I can't watch more than thirty seconds of that video. It should be illegal to be that much of a douche.

Stuff that isn't Youtube being terrible...torture porn, even when played for satire. A Serbian Film is a great example. A friend of mine kept bugging me to watch it with him and when we finally did I walked out thirty minutes in and barely stopped myself from punching him in the face. I was genuinely angry that he thought I'd like the film, even on an ironic level. The Human Centipede films would also count if I'd ever actually watched ny of them.

But what really gets me is Crossed. For those of you who don't follow comics, it's a series initially created by Garth Ennis that posits a zombie-apocalypse style scenario, except the zombies aren't dead - the virus turns them into violent sadists, like 28 Days Later but they're still intelligent. The "draw" of the series is that it was published by Avatar, so it was completely uncensored, and the artists went crazy on the gore-porn. Like...ugh. If you have a strong stomach, google some of the covers. I won't link any here, they're too NSFW.

Basically, imagine a zombie apocalypse except instead of eating you, the zombies want to torture, rape, and skin you in the most intentionally cruel way possible, and then do horrible things with your body and the bodies of your family. These are zombies who intentionally gang-rape victims in order to convert them the way regular zombies would just bite you. Often, they're what tvtropes call "villain sues" - inexplicably competent villains that thwart all efforts by the heroes to defeat them. It doesn't matter how many guns you have, how organised you are, or how medically impossible it is for guys like the Crossed to even survive through one winter; if you're reading a Crossed story, at the end of it, ninety percent of the cast will be dead and the survivors will either be assholes, or they'll be Crossed. Sometimes, they'll eat their own baby. Literally. Like, roasting it on a spit.

The whole title, regarldess of who's writing (it's a multi-author thing these days) is almost hypnotically disgusting. It's an exercise in pushing the imaginative limits of human cruelty. I do go back to it from time to time, when I think it's doing something interesting - there are only so many ways you can torture-rape-murder someone before it gets boring - but even when it's doing something new-ish, like Moore's Crossed 100, it still manages to be so thoroughly hopeless and cruel that I just can't finish it.

Cinema Sins I found myself watching less and less. I might tune in sometimes depending on the movie that is being done, but Jeremy is starting to suffer from Movie Bob syndrome. Hate on anyone that disagrees with me, or insult an audience for loving a movie I hate, or vice versa. The Furious 7 video being the most insulting. Okay asshole, we get it, you don't like the F&F movies, but does it give you the right to think you're better than everyone else for not enjoying them. What's worse, is that he didn't do a sin removal of the Paul Walker tribute that was well done. And this coming from someone who got tired of F&F movies after the 4th movie.

Also Jeremy is known causing drama; the incident with Screen Junkies is the best example. They both made up now, but from I what seen, he's the one that started it and went overboard, so Jeremy has no one to blame but himself.

Oh, and zombies are overplayed anyway, that's why I don't deal with those type of stories anymore.

For me I can't watch or read anything involving rape of any kind. Just thinking about something like that makes me feel bad, as if I'm gonna be sick. I have never been close to or experienced said thing and I can't really explain why I have this attitude/feeling toward it either.

Thus I have never watched a single episode of things like "game of thrones", "the walking dead" or even "Dexter", I just don't want to take the chance of having to experience such an encounter within the episodes. I guess I'm missing out on alot of shows because of it, but better safe than sorry and all that.

Cheers.
