Hilarious that they blurred out "fuck" but the calls for genocide were totally cool to keep unedited.

Dismember, kill, and spill blood everywhere - Jaws, rated PG (Not even pg13).

Say fuck twice in 2 hours - R

PG-13 didn't exist when Jaws was released.

I'm not arguing against your point, just clarifying why it is PG.

[-] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago

I declare fisty cuffs! Yeah think it came out right after. R existed though right?

Jaws was released in '75 and PG-13 was created in '84.

It was Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom that was a catalyst for PG-13. It's probably no coincidence that Steven Spielberg directed both Jaws and Temple of Doom.

It takes you two hours to say fuck twice? I can do it in two seconds, loser

Jaws came out way before there even was a PG13 rating. And during a much better era for most art.

But then the lower tweet blurred "kill"

[-] [email protected] 14 points 1 week ago

But "All Jews should die" is totally fine apparently.

That’s obviously just an understanding of the circle of life, not a call for genocide. They just don’t want any immortals around, clearly

Ah so they are anti-Jesus

TBF I guess he did die

My Muslim friend was like:

Did Jesus die for Christian sins? Like for a weekend? And

So the Christians are monotheists? Who was in charge that weekend?!

Tbf kinda hard to document things if they are blurred out. Blurring it would be like putting black censor boxes over the body piles in auchwitz and then showing students the remaining image with the important bits hidden and expecting them to understand what's under the censor.
