If a tv show is causing you to think of suicide or anything else stop watching the show and go get some help.Go to the hospital emergency room, sign up for counselling, stay off social media or message boards. All this talk about "triggers" is ridiculous too. This is a tv show. "But its being broadcast publicly" No one is being forced to watch it. "Its being broadcast to real people with real issues"  So are a billion other shows. Im pretty sure we all have the option to turn the channel or shut the tv off. "you're ignorant or you dont care about other people" If you watch someone banging their head against a wall while they complain it hurts are you going to sympathise with them? People watch tv shows to be entertained, to waste time, to forget about their "real issues" etc. Writers arent there to appease you, theyre there to tell a story. If something becomes too dark for you to handle or goes against your personal beliefs - again, dont watch it. There are plenty of other ways to waste your time. When you read a book you cant stop in the middle of it and start a petition because things didnt go the way you liked. All the "fandom" going crazy like its their right to have a story written to their liking need to re evaluate the reasons they watch tv.

I agree. As someone who writes and is currently in University making short films, I'm distressed that censorship to such a high degree is being demanded. There are certain things I can't watch becuase they upset me, so I don't watch them. I don't demand they be taken down or changed.

Though I find Raven's constant torture and pain relentless and draining, the only valid point I've seen is that the Murphy/Ontari scene sent a particularly bad message regarding male rape. I agree with that point. The way it was handled was irresponsible. Does The 100 have any kind of age warning? Because no one under 14 should be watching it IMO. This is one of the most violent shows I've ever watched. Anyone who's seen one episode should know that. If you can't handle violence, you shouldn't be watching this show. I don't know why suicidal people are subjecting themselves to watch a show filled to the brim with violence, pain, and death. I don't get this situation at all.
