Is it just me, or are people becoming more prudish? (feddit.org)

Pornography restrictions being codified into law, adult art being restricted from most Lemmy instances, Tarot readers blotting out the nudity on their cards on Reddit.

I'm watching the Magicians, on Amazon, and I use subtitles. All the curse words are purposefully filled in with random letters, so as not to offend the reader.

What's up with all the prudishness? Can people knock it off, please?

People have vaginas. And titties. And dicks. And asses. They swear. They drink. They fuck. Why is this generation afraid of that? Acknowledging these things isn't going to increase your chances of being sexually violated. So, what's the deal?

My guess is people are tired of it. When you go through life and pretty much everything is sexualized, it starts to get boring and annoying. I hate how most movies used to have a romance or sex scene. Just imply it, is it really necessary to completely ruin the mood of a movie for it? We know people have sex and it doesn't really contribute to the story.

    You're right. Action movies are kinda boring now. You gotta keep those scenes pretty short

    I get the sarcasm but I would guess action scenes do cost the most. The whole lets make a set and blow it up sounds expensive even if CGI is involved.

    Only kinda sarcastic. Marvel action scenes are soooo long it's boring. Or like, John wick is boring too

    I can't be bothered to watch marvel movies in general anymore, any super hero movies really. I would say I like the parodies more. I liked the first John Wick movie mainly on the premises that Reeves actually learned how to operate firearms but what is it now on a fifth one? But still, realistically, the movie would be over in a few minutes.

    I mean you could just go watch porn? I'm by no means prude. If I'd like to watch an action movie, why does there need to be a sex/romance scene in it? Granted at this point I only watch foreign movies; especially when it comes to horror movies. I would say the classic tropes of horror movies got boring after watching hundreds of them; then I watched a Turkish horror movie called Baskin, and I'll be honest, I covered my eyes a few times, had to rewatch it actually completely watch the movie. That went from zero to I feel like I'm watching a horror movie for the first time and it's time for bed.
