"I had enjoyed much of the Walking Dead, and felt betrayed and sucker-punched by the scene where they killed off Glenn. We held our breath for months to find out the identity of Negan's victim, and were treated to the graphic image of a beloved character's caved in head as it is beaten to a pulp with a baseball bat wrapped in barbed wire."
"I struggled with nausea and shock. How can producers of a TV show expose their loyal viewers to such an image? I am aware of the difference between make believe and real life, but with this degree of realism the boundary is less evident."
"When the shock faded and I got back to thinking clearly, I was furious with the network that exposed me to trauma, suddenly blindsiding me and harming my mental wellbeing."
"There are two specific scenes that have forced me to stop watching a show or movie, both involving infants. As a parent, this scene was just too horrifying for me to contemplate."
