    I guess you didn’t watch a lot of mainstream movies on HBO in the 90s. They were gratuitous at the time.

      Neither did Gen Z, that’s not what they are complaining about.

        You’re right, but you’re missing the forrest for the trees. Deliberately, I think.

          To me they just sound exactly like the conservatives in days gone past, outraged at the prospect of sexual content. Media is better when people let creatives do their thing and people stop worrying about every damn thing being done “correctly” I.e following their formula or prescription.

          With the amount of choice we have now, why anybody chooses to watch things they don’t want to consume to then complain about it online is absolutely beyond me.
