You mean stuff like... @violence "cool, he just smashed that guys face in!" @sex "eww, that's gross!"? Definitely agree that censorship focuses too much on sex/words than violence though. How anyone can argue that it's worse for a kid to see a pair of boobs than a fight is beyond me. |
Yep. I remember as a kid thinking that sex scenes should be like banned from movies. They were just so awkward to watch with your parents. Of course some of that is a natural response, but even removed from that context I didn't like them. There's a certain merit to the idea that Sex should not be prioritized over violence or curse word on the scale of censorship. Of course that's not what the thread is about, but it's the small stuff like that that really shapes our outlook on these kind of things. I hate using the word "systematic" but it really is an issue. Violence is in no way acceptable, and neither is bad behavior, but one is protected by the constitution and another isn't. Luckily we have great real life consequences to bad behavior that will affect someone for the rest of their life and make them feel like a loser, versus needless violence which just justifies their actions and makes people sympathize with them.
