Watching movies as a Christian

No, they don't. Nudity is not inherently wrong. Don't you believe that God created the human body?

I never said I watched stuff with nudity on a regular basis. In fact, most of the streaming stuff with nudity in it has very little rewatch value, which is a common problem in today's media. Most of the time I watch stuff with people clothed, and due to the garbage of today's media, often I'm forced to watch older stuff that had better writing and acting in it.

To be fair, I find the nudity way less offensive than the near-constant Christian-bashing I've been seeing more and more often in sci-fi. I get very tired of hearing self-righteous atheists and humanists dissing God in these shows or movies, and nobody ever disagrees with them or has an opinion to the contrary. Or worse, the bad guy is a "Christian" and shows all the worst traits if fake Christians. It's one of many reasons I can't stand "The Expanse" and never got my own copy of "The Shape of Water" after watching the film once and reading the book once.

And no, you didn't miss anything with "Game of Thrones," The Sopranos," or "The Witcher."

My biggest issue with George R.R. Martin (aside from the fool not finishing his book series), is that he doesn't value people who are good and virtuous in his stories. (He's pretty much the "anti-Tolkien" of the writing world). He punishes them and has them either killed early on, or they become corrupted and almost as bad as their enemies when it comes to winning a war. He seems to value dishonest, sneaky people and bad people who hang onto power just long enough, that when they finally get their comeuppance, it is both very un-memorable, and you've gone beyond caring whether they live or die anymore. And don't get me started on the ultimate betrayal the fans suffered with the last two seasons of the show!

Never watched the Sopranos.

The Netflix interpretation of "The Witcher" was, from what I've heard from fans, a really bad translation, despite using Henry Cavil as the lead, and frankly, a lot of the story disgusted me. Half the time, you're rooting for the hero, and half the time you wish the hero would leave the ungrateful jerks he fights for to their fate. I keep wondering how the books and video games compare, considering how upset the fans were over the series, so I have a feeling they weren't exactly the same. The story also seemed to be drowning in lectures about how great extreme feminism is and how awful bigotry towards other races is. It's why I couldn't bring myself to finish the first season on the second viewing, and nobody could convince me to watch the seasons that came after that.

A good warrior knows when to study the enemy, and when to choose their battles. Some are worth fighting, others aren't. If you have no idea how the enemy thinks, you're gonna have no clue how to fight them later on when the battle comes to your door. Knowledge and intellect can act as much of a shield when gathering intelligence on the enemy, and that includes what the Bible teaches. God never said we shouldn't learn how to defend ourselves. The Culture Wars going on are a fine example of this.

Providing information germane to the OP is trolling? You seem very quick to characterise people, as I said when you first called me this. Apparently sufferers of gymnophobia, of which you admit, experience undue anxiety (even frustration in your case, you say) even though they realize their fear is irrational. Their fear may stem from anxiety about sexuality in general, from a fear that their bodies are physically inferior, or from a fear that their nakedness leaves their bodies--and their personalities--exposed and unprotected. A very strict moral or religious education that prohibits or stigmatizes nudity can also contribute to the development of gymnophobia. These limiting beliefs 'can create a negative association with nudity from a young age, leading to an irrational fear of it in adult life.

Many people with gymnophobia are unable to participate in sexual activities and may develop a more generalized genophobia, or fear of sex that stems from their gymnophobia. . https://www.verywellmind.com/gymnophobia-fear-of-nudity-2671747
