Why Do People Accept Violence But Not Sex In Movies?

[JimBoy]

Movie theaters are allowing to play SAW V but are refusing Zack and Miri Make a Porno across the US.

Just because the title has "porn" in it, it's bad but a violent bloodbath like SAW V with a promotional photo of a dead guy with hooks in his face is allowed?

I don't understand...

 

[Senshi1]

Yeah I never understood that either. People are allowed to commit all manner of violent acts and smear blood over everything, but the second somebody's nipple pops out its scandalous.

Well, just look at the coffeegate controversy a couple years ago. For those of you unfamiliar, a hidden mod was found in a Grand Theft Auto game that contained a consensual sex scene, and shops suddenly decided that this made the game immoral.

Because violence is an everyday thing, but sex is sanctioned until marriage...

 

[NMKamikaze1]

It's just my preference... I find blood and guts much more appealing than people getting freaky with each other.

Actually, the shop owners were probably scared witless of getting hassled by the police or other guardians of public morality.

You know? I had never considered it from that perspective. I think you're on to something, J.

Things are so damn backwards. The human body is seen as vulgar and undesireable, but images of death and horror are practically required.

Hollywood movies will add random death scenes into movies for some inexplicable "cool factor" even if it hurts the story.

But if there's a breast, RATE IT X AND BAN IT.

Fuck this shit. Maybe if we went on a curbstomping campaign and pounded some censors' faces into the blacktop there'd be a change. The world is ready for some fucking sense and it's time we claimed it.

I've got a better idea...
*the next day*
*five censor's are chained by their necks to the wall with devices on their heads set to go off in ten minuets*
*a T.V. screen turns on*

It's time to play a game.

You have no idea how much I love that idea. It's so poetically perfect.

As for the game, I know what game to play. They get to choose what's more offensive. Sex and nudity. Or death and violence.

Ahh, it's anybody's guess? Maybe someday we as a race will figure out what crazy-lady-with-a-sign already knows.
