They’re talking about “ultraviolence” like The Boys or Dredd. Scenes that show incredibly detailed and gory violent acts like someone getting their skull crushed against a wall, or someone literally going “splat” against the concrete after falling a hundred stories.
We are all here because of sex. I think it’s outrageous that violence is glorified when there isn’t a single person here not made from sex. Ok maybe a few but it’s a really small percentage.
We never had a choice. I’m certainly not thankful for being born.
I’ve also been told here that I’m probably partly asexual, which I believe is unrelated. But it shows that some people just aren’t interested.
I really don’t see the reason for comparing it violence either. Drugs seem to be popular there too and they’re probably also a common reason for conception and I also don’t like seeing them.
Is there such a thing as fluff movies? (I’d probably give one of those a try.)
I remember a bunch of years ago talking about This Film Is Not Yet Rated, and how I thought it was absurd a scene where someone’s brains get shot out and they die is ok, but a non-graphic cunnilingus shot was unacceptable. The two people I was talking to, a woman older than me and someone my age, were both like “No that makes total sense. I’d watch a violent movie with my kid but not one with sex in it”
I was like, “You’d rather your kid run around fantasizing about murder than sex?” And they were like “yeah”
Personally I’d show neither to my kid. The thing with violent movies is that you know beforehand they will be violent. Sex scenes on the other hand, come out of nowhere, add nothing to the plot and only leave you in disgust. Happy to see those go away.
Drag also thinks it’s important for kids to know about murder. They should get to hear stories like Beowulf, the Iliad, and Star Wars. Children need to be taught that violence is a valid solution to certain types of problems. Otherwise you’ll raise a society of cowards who believe in following the law and keeping negative peace.
It bothers me that we’re at a place in society where all real violence is vehemently condemned. Mutual combat is prohibited in 46 of the 50 states, kids get expelled if they stick up to bullies, people are raised from birth to be complete victims if they’re ever in a physical confrontation, but then there’s all of this non-stop glorification of violence on-screen.
Wish it was more sex and less violence
You do realise that every “normal” superhero or fantasy movie contains some sort of violence right?
Criticizing movies for violence is like saying people get violent because of video games.
I’m not saying any of that I just want to see sexy movies
porn movies exist
movies about sexual relations are fine, I just wish less movies about other things would contain random sex scenes that come out of nowhere

Ok but at least you know beforehand that those movies will be violent. If you don’t like it, don’t watch it.
I’m not following your logic. I think there’s an unspoken leap being made

If Thanos tries to destroy the world, the Avengers cut off his head.
If Rupert Murdoch tries to destroy the world, you’re not even allowed to smash his windows. It’s not fair! Violence is good and TV taught drag why.
