Now, here is where I'm going to make my main point. American Horror Story is not only terrifying and repulsive to any human with a conscience; this show is straight-up dangerous. A perfectly logical response is to toss around the age-old adage, "It's just a TV show!" Yes, it's a TV show. The violence, the death, the sexual deviance-- all of it is being faked by actors trained in how to make it look real. American Horror Story is just a TV show.
