“House of the Dragon” star Matt Smith criticized trigger warnings in TV and called them “the tedious modern idea that adults cannot cope with being upset by art.”
Actor Matt Smith argued that trigger warnings on television shows may ruin the viewer’s experience.
The “House of the Dragon” star criticized the concept and called trigger warnings “the tedious modern idea that adults cannot cope with being upset by art.”
“Isn’t being shocked, surprised, stirred the point?” Smith said during an interview with The Times.
“Too much policing of stories and being afraid to bring them out because a climate is a certain way is a shame. I’m not sure I’m on board with trigger warnings.”
Smith stars in the “Game of Thrones” prequel “House of the Dragon”, playing Daemon Targaryen.
The popular television show focuses on the story of Daenerys Targaryen’s ancestors, the Targaryen family, when they ruled Westeros.
The thrilling series takes place roughly 200 years before the events that occurred in the original series.
