I'm glad not everything "adult" in media has to do with psychiatry, because sometimes it's just morbid misinformation or insensitive exploitation of mental illness. I enjoy me some psychological Batman, but sometimes I just want to give all that a rest, it can become pretty intense.
I still want to play Hellblade and I thought Cyberpunk 2077 was heading in that direction and I, oh, so naive, thought that we'd actually have to take red or blue pills (a clear nod to the Matrix there) throughout some points of the game (like the whiffs that Vector told us to take but then we took none) to either drift away or towards Johnny... and well, the whole scene of us crawling on the floor of the apartment felt very real, dark, intense... but at least not meanspirited, but emotional.
I'm also just getting back into Psycho Pass, rewatched season 1 which I found not as good as I remembered, rewatched season 2 which is every bit as bad as I remembered being too tryhard and edgy, and the movie which was cool. But I for one, just 3 episodes deep into Season 3 I'm glad they toned down the "gore" because when you're not making it completely clear whether the Dominator detects "the psychological inclination to crime" or just "mental illness", that lack of clarity was making it look pretty objectionable that the treatment for that was making people explode (I mean, in season 2 there's the whole scene of the hostages kind of making it like that). Season 3, so far, is looking promising, less try-hard edgy than the first 2 seasons and they seem to be doing a thing towards finally dismantling the status quo? Or will they just work for it? I guess I'll see...
