Matt Smith praises polarizing characters and slams trigger warnings: 'Too much policing of stories'

House of the Dragon's King Consort Matt Smith, has a problem with trigger warnings: "Isn’t being shocked, surprised, stirred the point?"
"It’s okay to feel uncomfortable or provoked while looking at a painting or watching a play, but I worry everything’s being dialed and dumbed down," the actor, who plays Machiavellian schemer Daemon Targaryen in the HBO fantasy series, recently told The Times. "We’re telling audiences they’re going to be scared before they’ve watched something.”
