The effect of increasing sexualization of women in the media

[Angrboda]

I think there's room for both, and both can be done well or poorly. I tend to have a low tolerance for squick, so it may be difficult for me to watch something like Saw, but that doesn't in and of itself make that aspect of it a bad thing. Perhaps that visceral thrush from such experiences is a part of the point. I know that as much as I can reasonably stomach, I try to expose myself to things which may violate my pre-existing sensibilities, say in music, and I don't think that something making you feel uncomfortable or unpleasant is enough to show that in some sense it's an inferior effort. That says more about you than it does about that thing.
