Uhm but you just did. Or, you tried to use your example of being three, as that being a better argument then my being just one. Its just as thin I would say. But we can only speak for ourselves, that’s what I meant ,when I said I didn’t see it myself. We would need to make an examination of the whole viewer base of Once to really know.

No I didn’t. I said I would not extend three people believing the show is amoral to the 4 million viewers whereas you said you didn’t think people/audience see the show as amoral, at least you didn’t which suggests that you were extending the one (you) to the whole.

However this is likely a case of misreading each other, so let’s just agree that it’s impossible to know what the entire viewership believes/feels

don’t mean that storytellers are exempt from trying to doo better and trying to go in the direction of giving their audients better morals, instead of worse ones. Im simply trying to say, they also have to be carefull not to limit the stories, but that is a balance…

No one is trying to say that they have to limit themselves to not telling stories with amorality. We’re saying that if they are goong to have amorality then it needs to be addressed in a thoughtful and considerate manner with an actual intention besides “moving the plot football”

Some great stories can be riddled with violence and amorality (cf: something like Breaking Bad or GoT) but these actions have consequences and are dealt with by the writers. They are not shoved go background of the story, handwaving them away as if they never happened or don’t matter.
