    I find it all to be weirdly puritanical, then and now. They are more offended by tits than violence which is mind boggling.

    Sex is a healthy, natural part of life. Violence is not, yet Gen Z choose to be more offended by the former.

    Do us a favour and stop watching R rated films if you can’t hack it.

      No one is offended by it. Its just boring. I would prefer the movie to be 10 minutes shorter than have a 10 minutes sex scene in it.

        Of course people are offended by it. Have you seen this thread? It’s people who find the very idea of sex to be disgusting rather than a beautiful part of life.

      It’s a natural part of life but so is pooping and I don’t want to watch anybody do that on screen either. Fade to black. Same with extreme violence. These things can be an important part of the story without being shown graphically.

        Pooping doesn’t quite elicit the same emotions between characters as sex now does it? The fact that you’ve even compared the two is wild. Even then I have seen some fantastic pooping scenes in films (Trainspotting).

        How about letting directors treat film goers as adults?
