The 100 is becoming unwatchable: "At this point The 100 is unwatchable. They’ve killed off a queer woman and a man of color and villainized all the powerful men of color. They’ve played the sexual assault of a male character as an amusing beat and piled garbage heaps of suffering on everyone, creating a suffocatingly hopeless atmosphere. The show is nothing but misery porn, attempting to showcase “shocking” moments of brutality as it chases critical acclaim for being willing to Go There. It’s dark for darkness’ sake with no overarching redeeming value. It’s not even successfully exploring its previous quandaries about the morality of survival as a primary goal or value, instead simply resorting to stark images of senseless murder in order to fulfill some kind of grimdark quota."

This perfectly states why everything has become so repulsive. There is no VALUE in their graphic and triggering content. If there was actual value, then maybe it wouldn't be as disturbing and if the ramifications were actually explored, then maybe it wouldn't be so upsetting. Instead, it's a series of meaningless "shocking" moments with minimal contextual plot. It's all contrived and unnecessary conflict.
