What can you not watch because the it disturbs or grosses you out or offends your moral values too much?
And what are the exceptions to that rule?
I cannot watch addiction storylines. Especially if it's a major character suffering from addiction. No, just no.
Exceptions: I did, however, manage to get through Willow's addiction storyline in Buffy.
Incest, near incest (like when there's sex between vampire sire and progeny), or pedophilia.
Exceptions: I did watch a Korean movie once about twins (a boy and a girl) who fall in love. Somehow it was done in a mostly unsquicky way. And I did see both the American and Swedish Let The Right One In, the latter of which implied some pedophilia, which I think was removed from the former. And OMG, especially in Angel, Joss Whedon plays with near incest all the time, and I watch anyway.
