I am actually responding to lifestyle again as he has me blocked.

Tv shows and comedy are completely different. Most of those shows shed light on the subjects, which may not be PC, in subtle ways that help people understand them without directly challenging peoples beliefs. They teach tolerance under the guise of comedy. Andy lake can very easily choose not to watch them and there is a rating system already in place to let people know what kind of show they are subjecting themselves to.

Game if thrones is set in a scenario vastly different from our own reality so it doesn't really hit close to home for people or challenge their beliefs seeing as it's not real. It's fictional not factual. To be honest I'm not that familiar with the show as I don't watch series until they are complete so I can binge watch them. Therefore my argument for that one is purely assumed based on my understanding of what i have been told about it and im not qualified to discredit that particular show for your point.

Breaking bad takes a look at the world's drug underground, something people seem to find fascinating as was evident with weeds. It also doesn't really challenge peoples beliefs. And again they can turn it off without a fuss if they don't like what they are seeing.

And I don't know anything any the wire but my argument still stands about things being rated.

Edited multiple times to get everything correct. (With no response on the mean time)
