Is there a way to look at all questions that have come up except for ones you don't want to see (i.e. futurama)? Basically can you block yourself from seeing certain tags?

Yes!
You can add the tag to your list of ignored tags.
Go to your profile, click "Edit Profile & Settings", and make sure you're on the Preferences tab:
From there you can also hide all questions with ignored tags by selecting the "hide questions in your ignored tags" option.

I don't think this is how it works anymore. I don't see this in my settings. Has this process changed? This is pretty important as this question is linked to avoiding star wars spoilers.– 1252748Commented Dec 23, 2015 at 22:09

Excellent, this is tremendously useful. I don't often get the opportunity to interact with any SE devs. So I'll take this opportunity to say: Thanks for all the work you do. I love this community. Cheers.– 1252748Commented Dec 23, 2015 at 22:17

Any way we can get the mobile apps to honor the hide/grey out preference? I've got mine set to hide, and I still see questions with ignored tags on iOS. Another user said they have the same issue on android. Commented Dec 23, 2015 at 23:02

@phantom42 I don't know much about how the mobile apps work. If this doesn't already exist, it's best to post a separate request. Commented Dec 23, 2015 at 23:04
To plagiarize my answer on a Movies Meta:
This changed at some point and is not in preferences; now the way to hide tags rather than just gray them out is a box on the right side of the homepage:
If you click the Hide questions in your ignored tags
button, they will be hidden now:
