Netflix series 13 Reasons Why has returned with yet another hard-hitting scene that has sparked controversy among fans and a campaign calling for it to be cancelled.

Following the furore surrounding the show's depiction of suicideupon its debut last year, the new batch of episodes arrived fit with a PSA and mature content disclaimer which saw the show's lead stars tell the audience the season ahead will tackle “tough, real-world issues,” even going so far as to encourage younger viewers to watch with an adult.

This disclaimer was added for good reason thanks to a graphic scene in the season two finale which features the rape of a male character.

Throughout the season, the issue of bullying is tackled through the character Tyler (Devin Druid), an outcast who is shown to have no friends at Liberty, the fictional High School at the heart of the series.
