    That sex is even considered a vice on the same level as drugs and violence is fucking bonkers.

    This graph alone gives legitimacy to this idea. Nudity and sex are completely normal (and necessary) things in life. That something that is needed for everyone reading this to exist being labeled as a vice like violence and drugs is actually disgusting IMHO.

      So is peeing and shitting. And yet somehow you don’t get a 5 minute scene of someone on a shitter and then the exact shot of their turds being flushed down.

      Sex and nudity are normal. And yet I don’t wanna watch my friends have sex. Do you? Wierd huh?

      So, why exactly is it so unbelievable that people just don’t wanna watch actors pretend to do the most intimate thing we all got?

      Feels awkward, yes. Feels akward when it’s bad and feels even more awkward when it’s good. And it would be most akward if they actually properly showed the entire process and it was real.

        Nice strawmen you got there. I never said anything actually about the use in film nor did I say anything about personal preference.

        I protest the idea of categorizing sex and nudity as vices at the same level as drugs and violence. That is something the graph presupposes by comparing to these and actually labeling sex as a vice.

        Of course one could have a discussion on when and how sexuality in media should be depicted but not under the premise that sex is a vice.

        Edit: Surely you would agree that defecating is not a vice? No one should tell someone they should not shit. Or you should be ashamed of shitting.

        No one says shitting is on the same level as taking drugs or beating someone to death.

        So why do people lump sex in with violence and drugs.
