What're your 'I'm fascinated by this but cannot in good conscience recommend it' media?

Hahaha, oh geez. Right now, Higurashi for sure. I'm on a little break from the games (I just wanna play my funny lil management sims when sick) but the story is gripping, and fascinating, and oh my god they keep saying terrible things about the little girls and going BOI-YOING when they do it. Killing me. There's such a good story here but I can't go 'See if you look past all the loli shit-' in good conscience lol. It's wonderful, it's gripping, just. Wear a Hazmat suit if you read it lol.

A Pantopsalis pocator (?) I saw a year ago in the Catlins, Aotearoa! A boy based on his impressive chelicerae!

Neopilioni harvestmen, my beloved. Absolutely silly chelicerae. I hope he knows how handsome he is. I cannot help with species ID, but the genus looks correct.
