Let's face it, it's because the housing market is destroyed so they have to live with their parents 😂
Fuuuuck... Just rolling out the deep cuts
I love watching porn, i really do.
But when i'm watching a movie/tv show, i wanna get some actual plot, you know?
I'm not against the presence of nudity/sex scenes in media. But i'm tired of seeing people on the screen copulating just for the sake of it (again, unless it's porn).
I know that there are people who do have casual sex often (it's kind of a cultural thing), but for a lot of us that's just isn how it goes (or at least not in our current situation).
My point is, i want to see good writing, that does not have to force sex in order to be interesting or have high ratings.
Unfortunately, it seems the more tech we have, the less time and money do the big companies want to invest on making a good product.
Thus, support independent film makers!!
Hmm... Best we can do is have ol Oppenheimer say his famous catchphrase in the middle of sex. You sure you don't want that?
No, i don't.
My thing is that I know sex sells, and my monkey brain still gets drawn to that stuff. But I dont that it feels like I'm being bombarded by it from all sources. It's tiring and doesn't feel healthy.
I only want gay sex in media. Straight sex makes me uncomfortable.
this is the truth. gen z is not "puritanical" we just don't like boring cookie cutter shit.
!The concept of sex in movies already reached its peak with Porky’s, and any attempts to improve on that are just embarrassing.!<
Never change Onion. 😄
Reminds me of their, "Art historians remain confused as to why anyone would create new art when Megadeth's Rust in Piece already exists."
Sex is really meant to be viewed live, anyway.
Sex is unrealistic. It was created by Walt Disney in the 1930s to make Donald Duck seem interesting, but nobody actually does it.
Look, I'm just some boring ace girl who happily lives with her ace girlfriend in our sex less lives. And sure we can appreciate a tasteful sex scene if it serves the plot.
But GAWD, so much media is horny on main.
if it serves the plot
To be perfectly honest, I can't think of a single movie right now where this would even apply. The movies I can think of wouldn't exactly change much if those scenes were removed ...
On a semi-related note, I am personally also sick of romance being shoehorned into movies where it doesn't belong, doesn't further the plot, or even outright takes away from the main story. WTF was Tauriel doing in "the Hobbit" for example? The literally only point she served was being a flick for one of the less important dwarves, and they knew each other for maybe like six hours of which said dwarf was unconscious for at least four of them. But sure, let's call it True Love™ and shove it into a movie that's already nearly 3 hours long. sigh
I have nothing against romance in movies in general - but it needs to actually fit the narrative at least.
Do you think Jason Vorhees could have killed all those teenagers if they didn't have sex all over his favourite camping grounds?
Under the Skin. It’s an entire movie about sex that manages to avoid anything even close to titillation.
I mean that as one of the highest possible compliments you could give a film. It’s textbook “nudity for the plot” in a totally non-ironic way. It’s actually impressive, not to mention the film is very well-made in all respects.
This belongs in the Onion article lmfao.
“It makes my AI girlfriend uncomfortable.”
Haha, The Onion is killing it, like always.
My favorite: "We held a meeting and decided being radically open about gender while adopting a puritanical outlook on sex was the best way to shock Boomers to death"
“Existence is pain, and sex is just a sedative.”
🤔 I mean.. They're not wrong
Well yeah. With how easy it is to find porm why go to movies and tv to see it?
That's what I've been thinking too. I don't have anything against them including nudity but the way they do it is as if they think they're blowing your mind
I'm just tired of it being "nudity" but it's just really gratuitous amounts of boobs and a .00005 second snippet of blurred and backlit man ass. Boobs are good and all, but like I'm tired of it just being an excuse to have naked women thrown into scenes that just.... probably don't need to be there? Shout-out to GOT for giving full frontal male nudity before the show went to shit.
Real reason: They all still live at home, have to watch with their parents, and will do until their parents die of old age.
The ficticious quotes in that article are absolutely brilliant.
For real. This one got me the best:
“We held a meeting and decided being radically open about gender while adopting a puritanical outlook on sex was the best way to shock Boomers to death.”
What are you saying? That it seems today all you see is violence and movies and sex on TV?
Yeah! Where are those good old-fashioned values?
You mean those values on which we used to rely?
Is The Onion doing facts instead of satire now? This hits hard.
Removing the /j, a lot of modern media really does push on that sex drive.
The amount of the population that is truly asexual is insanely low, and sex is biologically intended to arouse (in all senses of the word). Gotta reach the widest audience possible, and excite them when reached
I think if the sex scenes were done well, that'd be one thing (still wouldn't interest me, but I can see how they'd speak to others), but most of it is so bad. I finally watched Bridgerton a couple weeks ago and I can't figure out why people were so horny for 30 seconds of some dude jackhammering away in the missionary position. Like why is it even necessary to show that mediocrity? Just skip it and add a little more plot.
I don't know what media you're watching, but I can't recall much of any in the past few years. Then again, I don't watch every single movie that comes out.
Why remove the jizz?
But, again removing the j/, i wholeheartedly agree, with one exception: if it's done like sam & emma in genV.
I love that TokenBoomer posted this
Let's wait for the 1st one to fall for this and be posted in AteTheOnion
We just need to finally start adapting Brandon Sanderson's books into games, shows and movies
Do we not realize this is satire? Go to every other country and you will see way more sex and much less violence on the Tele. Seems like we could do some good in the US by changing our viewing habits.
But where are those good old fashion values (trumpets) on which we used to relyyuyy… lucky there’s a family guy. Lucky there’s a man who, positively can do all the things that make us (laugh and cry). HES A FAMILYYYY GUYYYYYYY
I (26), absoutely as old as can be for a Gen Z, personally want more sex in movies. I dont watch anything mainstream, anything PG-13. The movie I watched last night included a sexual assault. And that movie was fucking thought provoking. I wanna make that choice that what I watch is graphic. And guess what I live with my Mom and watch with her. She's a badass.
