Let me start by saying right off the bat: You don't need to do anything you don't want to. If you don't want to do a show/movie, then don't. If you start a show and decide it's not for you then stop. If you want to take a break, watch a different show for a while. This is your page and only you decide what's on it. If you want to watch the first episode by yourself without filming it, do that! Or film it and then watch your reaction back and never post it if you don't like it, do that! With that said, a few things on Game of Thrones specifically. While it is a violent and harsh show, it is not needlessly so. It takes place in a violent and harsh world very different from our own, modern world, but not too different from our past. It also doesn't revel in it. Violence is often shown as a necessary evil, and ownership is taken of the violence. ***Ep 1 Spoiler Warning: For instance, early on in episode 1, a man is put to death for desertion, and it is Ned Stark, essentially the regional lord, that kills him. Afterwards he speaks with his son and asks him if he knows why he had to be the one to kill him. When the son responds that he doesn't know, Ned responds that he passed the judgement and therefore it was his responsibility to carry out the sentence. End Spoiler*** Very few characters actually celebrate it, and the ones that do often are the villains or have to struggle with the consequences of that violence. As for other triggers particularly around SA, it is few and far between, and never particularly graphic. I would say that nothing in GOT is more graphic than The Boys, or Deadpool. Additionally unlike those shows, it is mostly not done up for comedy, and is almost always done COMPLETELY serious. It's more akin to a show like Outlander. Which if you haven't seen I highly recommend, though trigger warnings for Violence and SA. A great resource that I use for judging if a movie/show is too triggering is the website DoestheDogDie.com. While it started as an effort to answer a simple question, there are now dozens of questions that it asks on a variety of topics that could be triggers. Fair Warning: It is crowd sourced, and not spoiler free. While the responders try to keep things vague, some questions, are by there very nature spoilers.

Somewhere in October you might consider "The Entity" (1982) Based on a true story. Be forewarned, it can be a bit traumatizing for some.

you can always start it and if it isnt for you dont continue. i will be very honest with you game of thrones is good but it is very violent and has a lot of graphic scenes, scenes that even i thought were super graphic. so its completely up to you and i dont think anyone will be mad if you decide to skip it

I tried to watch your chainsaw man reactions but they were privated. Is there anyway I can still watch them?

Z.Cold

Up to you. It’s not worth stressing over. I always advocate for giving things a try. However, The end wasn’t super solid and there gore. If that bothers you, then no one would judge you for choosing something else.

You're fantastic. You're actually one of the people who inspired me to start my own YouTube Channel. I want to thank you for that.

Triple Threat Comics

Yeah I’d avoid game of thrones if SA and gore freak ya out.

Hey Vicki, this your channel and 100% free (and I would say obligated) to enforce personal boundaries. If GoT is out of bounds, feel free to veto and choose a runner-up or a revote.

The whining over season 8 of Game Of Thrones by some of its fans was by far the saddest aspect of the show. Mostly it seemed (to me) to stem from people who didn't like the way it ended (ie. it didn't have the ending they wanted). "Its not what I want so its garbage" - the entitled brat mindset. Many people I've seen react to it since generally enjoy it (including season 8). I see the same thing time and again when reactors are open-minded enough to form their own views, they often disagree with the mob mentality. Not just Game Of Thrones but various series and movies where the whiners have done their whiny thing. It now seems to be the 'in thing' to complain about season 2 or whatever).

I'm probably not saying anything no one else has said, but here goes anyway. I can understand not wanting to invest the time into something that doesn't end well. & they're not exaggerating. The last season's pretty garbage. I can also understand not wanting to get into something with these subject matters. I think the violence & gore is less upsetting than The Boys & the SA stuff is fewer and farther between than you might think, but I think you'll find the story to be deeply upsetting. I won't go into details in case you decide to watch it anyway, and I think there are things you'll enjoy, but there are also things beyond what you know that I'm not positive you'll be able to take. This might take an emotional toll on you that would be worse than BrBa. I'd say try an episode and see how you feel, but I feel like most of us won't blame you for deciding this isn't for you. At the very least I think we all need to accept the idea that even if you do this, you can stop any time you want & that's really ok.

GoT is a great show...that being said I don't think it's a show for you, Vee. I've watched the entire thing and enjoyed it greatly, yes even season 8, but from what you've said in this vid I don't think you're going to enjoy it, but could be wrong. I'd advise taking it a season at a time if you do decide to do it. No point putting yourself through something that you don't enjoy. That's not good for anyone.

Maybe I am too used to "extreme" media, but I always thought people said GoT was very hard to watch because those were other times, but I wouldn't put GoT nowhere near the most shocking things I've seen, I'm actually a bit shocked that some people consider it that way, even now. But then again, you do what you want! You don't have to do anything you don't want to. I don't think people will be too disappointed if you 1) never start it, or 2) start and then stop at some point. But I do believe GoT is, indeed, "not that bad". It could be if you think too deeply about things that happen, but I feel like there's so many different plots and things happening, so many different characters you're invested in, that you don't really have the time to dwell on a lot of things. There are a very few tragic moments which will likely shock you for a bit, but again, they're few, far between, and you don't get much dwelling on it, because there's other three plot lines happening simultaneously. The gory part I don't get at all, gory? I mean, there's war happening, so there's obviouisly that, but I wouldn't say GoT is much more gory than the average medieval war movie. There are a few gory moments, yes, but that's not at all my conception of GoT until I heard some people saying that.
