To be fair, we didn't literally see the kids that Theon's henchmen killed being killed. Only their charred bodies.

Shots can also be partial or glimpses instead of lingering and detailed (like the young prince’s sexual-sadistic murder of the kind-hearted brothel girl).

I don't see why you find that somehow more acceptable than the charred kids that Theon killed in the way the show presented it.

    I don't, I was giving another example of a lingering and detailed shot that didn't need to be to serve the story. Maybe I could've been clearer.

    No, I thought you pinpointed them as acceptable ways to portray brutality in a world like GOT

    Out of interest, do you think people who enjoy slasher/gore-horror shows/films are sadistic? Or that people who write them are?

    Like a webcomic I once read is Crossed. Have you heard of it? It's incredibly violent and could never be a TV show. It's about a zombie-type virus that makes people into psychopathic, deranged killers. The sign of infection of a rash in the shape of a cross on their faces (although its also very quick, like in 28 days later).
