SA in 1923

The sheer amount of sexual violence in 1923 doesn’t feel like an attempt to bring awareness to real-world issues—it feels exploitative. The way the show lingers on these scenes suggests the creators are more interested in shock value and ratings than in portraying trauma with any real sensitivity or purpose. If the goal were truly to explore the impact of sexual violence, the storytelling would focus more on healing, justice, and survivor perspectives rather than repeatedly subjecting characters (and viewers) to brutal, drawn-out assaults.
