American Psycho is about a serial killer that takes pleasure in raping and killing women in the most horrible ways, and the narrative goes into gratuitous detail about it.
Do I have your attention? Buckle up, dearest nerdlets!
No matter what, there is always gonna be media - books, films, TV series, whatever - that is kinda dubious on the ol' morality front.
Is that ok? Is that something we should be consuming? Is that something that people should be creating?
And if it isn't, is that something that we should be supressing?
Should we be, to put it bluntly, censoring it?
