Low-Quality, Extreme & Stunt Content
A little▶
The concept of 'saving the happy ghast' is a stunt, and the waterboarding/drowning actions are extreme and designed for shock value. However, it is not as extreme as $1 vs $1M or destruction videos.

“I tamed the new happy ghast in survival minecraft... because noone did yet”
“I'm going to waterboard him”
Playful & Fantasy Violence
A lot▶

What Parents Need to Know
