CONTENT WARNING: This episode contains graphic descriptions of physical violence, physical suffering and death. Listener discretion is advised.  In this public release of a Patreon bonus episode originally released in July 2019, Jaye discusses graphic images of suffering and oppression. Should these be protected by content warnings? The episode dives into the history of violent images and how  unaltered visuals moved many Americans to act politically. She also explores the downsides of consuming violent imagery, particularly on mental health, and why content warnings are used to alert audiences to graphic content.
