I knew someone that used the vidangel service, but I don't really get it. If you remove the cursing/sex/violence from much of the works that use them, does it not remove context that is necessary? You mention ASoIaF, which is littered with all three right? How can you consume a "patched" version and still retain the themes and messages of these works? If you don't want to be exposed to these things, why not just only consume content that does not have them in the first place?

> How can you consume a "patched" version and still retain the themes and messages of these works? From context! You don't need to explicitly see two characters having sex or read an erotic paragraph about them having sex to figure out they have an incestuous relationship. And most, if not all religious folks just want the sex and violence to be less explicit (left to the imagination) not completely whitewashed from the story. Otherwise you wouldn't even be able to read the Bible/Quran/Book of Mormon/etc. without encountering sex and violence.
