What are “disturbing” literature, movies, and artwork like ITTL? For example Come and See is butterflied away due to there being no Nazi invasion of Russia for Klimov to experience.
No Fascist Italy probably means no 120 Days of Salo.
Columbine is definitely being butterflied away here so the various fictional works such as We Need to Talk About Kevin based on said shooting don’t exist here, instead being replaced by different fictional works based on different tragic events.
The different economic situation in America ITTL probably means no American Psycho, and sadly that means no Christian Bale as Patrick Bateman ITTL.
No Holocaust ITTL obviously means no The Boy in Stripped Pyjamas, Night, Maus, or other fiction/non-fiction/semi-fiction works based on the genocide don't end up existing here, although the continued intense problem of antisemitism ITTL probably does end up leading to a lot of high quality and thought provoking works by Jewish authors and creators ITTL.
I am now imagining a possibly more racist/problematic version of Cannibal Holocaust ITTL of a movie about cannibalistic Brazilian native tribes.
I have no idea what the neo-Nazis and other white supremacists behind such works and manifestos like The Turner Diaries are going to be writing or doing ITTL, nor do I have about works regarding the Catholic Church scandals like Spotlight.
Russia not becoming Communist probably impacts Vladimir Nabokov’s career, which means Lolita or a similar novel may or may not exist here ITTL.
Sylvia Likens is definitely not going to be murdered ITTL (if she is even born at all in the first place), so no The Girl Next Door or An American Crime.
Maybe Pablo Picasso makes a similar painting to Guernica based on something violent done by the CWR or another repressive regime ITTL?
Different events in East Asia probably mean no Nanking/Unit 731-related media? Even if the Japanese Empire lasts longer than it did IOTL?
Different superheroes probably means no Marvel Ruins.
Presumably Osamu Dazai and Junji Ito end up having different lives ITTL, meaning that many of their OTL works are not made here.
Lars Von Trier actually might still end up becoming a big film director ITTL, due to Denmark’s more conflict-filled and destructive history here ITTL.
The creepypasta genre is definitely getting butterflied away here with so much changing with pop culture, although similar Internet horror stories may still exist here.
Nuclear war films similar to those like The War Game, The Day After, Testament, Threads, and When the Wind Blows probably still exist here even without the Cold War being a thing here.
Rockstar Games may or may not exist, which means no Manhunt games ITTL.
No Fascist Italy probably means no 120 Days of Salo.
