I'm more offended when someone's killed on television than when there's something that's sensuous or sexual. So what?
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
As a viewer of television if there's something I don't like or find offensive, I just don't watch it.
The thing I don't like on television is when somebody does something that makes absolutely no sense just for the shock of it.
Television audiences are ruthless - look what happened to 'The Killing.'
Killing characters on television has become an easy short cut to cathartic emotion.
I have to admit that when I watch a movie in which there is no moral context for the violence - I find that offensive. I think that's potentially damaging to society.
In America today, if your sensibilities are offended by something that has happened, you get an enormous amount of credibility and are taken very seriously.
I haven't killed anyone on television in years and years. Must have been twenty something years.
Violence in film and television is an ongoing conversation, and I like eavesdropping on it, but I'm never sure what my opinion is. I like watching creative violence, but I don't know.
I do think the audiences have a right to judge what they feel is offensive and not.
Seeing a murder on television can help work off one's antagonisms. And if you haven't any antagonisms, the commercials will give you some.
