Sarcasm is an adjusted stress reaction.

I stopped watching Game of Thones mainly because I was tired of the sexual violence, but also because I was sick of every character with even a shred of decency meeting a grisly end

That was why my husband quit The Walking Dead (too grisly for me to watch) -- he just said "NOPE" after Glen bought it -- and why I quit buying Saga in trade even well before the notorious before-hiatus "totally not final" issue we got.
