http://damneliza.tumblr.com/post/142442156527/there-has-been-four-confirmed-suicides-already That's all hearsay but I don't doubt it. The Raven scene.... I've already seen way too many tumblr posts tonight from people who were triggered and are now spiraling.

JR's irresponsible storytelling has reached gross negligence levels to the point of almost criminal. Like seriously, does anyone know a lawyer? I agree that it was a distressing scene, but talking about pursuing legal action against a TV show you choose to watch... you haven't a leg to stand on. Viewership is voluntary, you can always change the channel as soon as what you're seeing even hints at upsetting content.

And frankly, if anyone says "well, when they picked up the scalpel I was only expecting them to torture Abby, not have Raven cut herself!" then y'know, my sympathy for their being 'triggered' kinda' flies right out the window. If a bait-and-switch from torture, which they were down with, to self-harm was their problem then sorry, guess it's a bad day to be a sadist. Maybe they should go nostalgically re-watch season 1, which they presumably sat through (without being utterly turned off the show) as Jasper was impaled, Wells was stabbed in the neck by a little girl, Lincoln was tortured, Murphy was lynched, etc... To have stuck around through all of that without quitting, but now to howl "too much"? Speaking of ****ed-up fandoms.
