    Grave of the Fireflies, a Ghibli film. Stopped it a couple times. Ended up finishing it eventually, wish I never had.

      I’ve never watched the movie. The synopsis alone crushed me. I couldn’t handle actually seeing it.

      I watched it 20 years ago and still can’t bring myself to watch it again.

      Spoilers for anyone who hasn’t seen it.

      I watched it with my girlfriend and the part about the bones in the tin candy container at the start of the movie flew over her head. She was hopeful that the girl might survive, I realized she missed the bones because she got a smidge hopeful when they went to see the doctor.

    You humans will laugh, but for me, it was Marley and Me, a film that allows you to watch a dog live and then die.

    i was a fun loving guy with a golden and I met my Jennifer Anniston so it was just too similar and painful and remembering my dog makes me sad.

    Outer Wilds: Echoes of the Eye. i can handle horror just fine, but Echoes of the Eye is on entirely another level of horror than most everything else. i was only able to complete about a third of it before i got too psyched out to continue

        It is and both are masterpieces. I don’t like horror games and I bore through it. There is a setting to reduce frights but it does a good job using darkness and sound to freak you out. At least from the perspective of a person who doesn’t normally go for that kind of thing.

      EOTE Spoilers

      I think what’s crazy about eote is that you figure things out that make everything visible, and once you understand how things work it really shouldn’t be scary anymore… but it is. As soon as you go back into the lantern’s bubble you’re just consumed by darkness and it feels just as scary as it was before - even though you know exactly what’s in the dark.

      Eote is a masterpiece and I had to rly battle my fears to do it. Unlike the base game, you can play it in smaller pieces if playing it gets overwhelming

    The George Floyd video.

    I watched maybe a minute of it the day it came out and that was enough for me forever.

      Same there. I watched a lot of horror movies and another kinds of gore, and it felt like I almost lost my senses at all, but the way Chauvin did that filled me with so much confusion, hatred and sadness I couldn’t stand watching it. So routine, so senseless, like he’s used to do this daily and likes it. I felt sick. And I want this mfer to rot.

        With horror movies, you at least have that layer of knowing it’s not real. Seeing the real horrors of mankind without that to protect you is truly disturbing.

    Videos of my now deceased sister playing violin.

    The Tragically Hip - Ahead By a Century

    I will cross a room to turn the radio off when it is playing.

    Both died from the same brain cancer and I can’t handle listening or watching either of them yet.

        Specifically that song, it was my favourite song of theirs. I tuned in late to their last concert when it aired on CBC, I thought I must have missed them singing it because I was so late but it came on next. I was happy I didn’t miss it but I cried as they sang it.

        I have heard parts of it in the years since then, I have probably heard the whole song a few times but it hurts to hear it.

      That sounds really rough. :(

      I find stuff like this doesn’t ever change for me, even though it may hurt less over time. I like knowing I have it, but … I don’t need to watch it.

    Don’t Look Up. As an environmental biologist, I feel they really nailed the constant feeling of crisis that everyone either chooses to ignore or use for greed. There came a point where I couldn’t stomach it anymore, I watch TV to escape reality not be reminded of it lol.

    Anything that maximizes embarrassment or cringe. Can’t watch most Will Ferrell or Borat. Ugh, it makes me so uncomfortable.

        I’ve seen every episode of the office at least 4 times (and some much more) with the exceptions of Scott’s Tots. Watched it once and never went back. That one was too much.
