Q: Aren't you worried about piracy?
A: No — Hazardous Software doesn't own any shipping vessels and our core business functions don't directly depend on overseas shipments. We are, however, worried about ninjacy and zombicy, as ninjas and zombies can and will strike on land.

The time traveler is almost never themselves affected by their manipulations of time; they and their machine are almost always considered to be 'outside of time' in some kind of 'temporal grace'. Killing your grandfather just means you return to a future where no one knows you, you alone are aware of the alternate past. A rare exception is the time travel of Back To The Future, but even then the effects of paradox resolution rippled through time slowly... rather like a wave, come to think of it.
Coda wrote:Back to the Future contradicted itself in that regard. Its explanation for "temporal grace" was that the timeline forked, and you end up traveling on the fork you didn't originate on -- your own history is, essentially, intact; it's just not the history of the world you're actually observing. But then they had the "fading" thing happen, which was great for movie magic but really didn't make much sense in light of the "alternate timeline" explanation.

In there, all the things that Church did when he went back in time to try to fix things ended up causing everything he was trying to fix. There was even an information paradox, where he inadvertently renamed the tank as Sheila, because he remembered her as saying her name was Sheila, even though it was originally Phyllis, and the only reason she told him that her name was Sheila was because he had told her her name was Sheila because she told him her name was Sheila etc.
So where did the name Sheila come from???

Ah well, still great movies. And we all know Bill & Ted has the best time travel. "Hey Ted, remember this for later: garbage can!"
