To think there is too much vomiting on tv/films?

[WishIMite]

Honestly, nearly ever programme has someone vomiting. I find it vile - especially when eating!

AIBU to think vomiting is used far too often in tv/films??

There's quite a lot of it in dramas I've seen over the last year or so, and I'm not emetophobic so it's not as though I notice it because I find it distressing. I just always wonder how they do it. I assume it's lumpy veg soup or similar, but how do they manage to spew so much of it? Is it done in post production editing or something? Fascinating! 😁

Nothing can be left to the imagination anymore on tv.

We have to physically watch the actor throw up, shagging or even take a shit. It's just ridiculous.

Yes Op! i’ve been saying this for a while. It’s unpleasant as it makes me retch (although i am not entemephobic) but it’s getting quite tedious and predictable.

well for starters how can any society justify the saw type films, various horrors, the glamourising of criminals etc if we want a better society then we also need to retool the entertainment industry ect

and before anyone says tv does not influence behaviour then why do we have adverts, why do we have edward berneys public relations ? why do we have people that say they they saw x documentary and wanted to be eg a vet etc

I agree. It makes me nauseous and its in every bloody drama!

I think this is something you only really notice if you have a phobia of it, as I had the same conversation with someone a couple of weeks ago but he hadn't noticed.

It literally never adds to the plot and they could always get the message across without showing it, with the possible exception of medical scenes. It really ruins a programme for me.

You're right, vegetable soup, pref heinz. I can't face the stuff after knowing that, my brain is too suggestible!

Not phobic of vomiting either, but do find it mildly disgusting when I see it (which is a lot! Hollyoaks is another one)

YES! We were watching Young Sheldon last weekend and I had to leave the room because DH had the controller and didn't turn the sound off fast enough (it's his job!). I've refused to watch it any more because there's an u reasonable amount of vomiting overall.

We've been watching true crime type stuff this week which has been pretty safe!

They should use that warning 'some viewers may find certain scenes unpleasant'. No kidding!

What I do to stop it being gross is just notice how obviously mocked up it is. Either they put a tiny bit of something in their mouth and exageratedly (sorry, sp?) spit it out, or there's a really obvious tube behind them spewing it out.
So unrealistic. If you see it like that and think how the actors must feel faking it then it stops it being really horrible. Just makes it silly. Haha.

Exactly. They do this deliberately, and they call it “cartoon vomit”.

This.
