What was the piece of media so emotionally overwhelming you just stopped it?

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.
