Description:

Kevin, Justin, and Stephan discuss the issue of sex and violence any how it works in fiction, or doesn't. When should you show it, or should you ever? Should you avoid the topic altogether? Does including sexual violence downgrade your story or have affect our society in negative ways, or is it more important to stay true to the art and characters? Would Game of Thrones be the same if Ramsay didn't do all his horrible stuff?

Though calls! We have our advice on how to tackle it. Let us know what you think.
