As a pacifist I object to this glorification of violence. Making women more like men is not a goal one should aspire to. Idiot screenwriters!

HunterTech 987 Posted June 21, 2020 Share Posted June 21, 2020 I sometimes wonder if companies are just doing things like this to specifically cause outrage at this point, because I've never heard anyone complain about Aliens and some of the other movies the warnings have been slapped on to. I'm not denying that some people are too up their own asses to recognize what might actually be considered problematic, but based on how modern culture has evolved, this is reeking of corporate businesses knowing this will get attention and thus bring more awareness to whatever movie service this is. It's more likely just something they've done just to save face in case something happens, but it's hard to tell in these times. Like honestly: tell me if you've actually seen a person rag on about how outdated Aliens is. If they exist, it sure as hell never popped up in my feed that shows me that sort of thing from time to time. The only people I've seen be in uproar, ironically enough, is all the people that normally mock outrage culture. Guess they gotta be angry if the "snowflakes" aren't adhering to the confusing "SJW" narratives this time. Sharkissimo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HunterTech 987 Posted June 21, 2020 Share Posted June 21, 2020 Because this is the era where despite all this information being available for anyone to look through, I guess it's easy to forget that hey, that's just how it was at the time. Seeing as attention spans are becoming worse for many, it's not too surprising that anyone half-paying attention might just suddenly get outraged. That being said: thanks to the internet being such an open platform for people to share their voices, it does remind one that even if it doesn't affect you directly, media has the potential to really leave an impact. Everyone has different experiences, and as such can lead one to look at a thing critically that someone else might just think nothing of. Me personally, I never think about how I what I watch, since I've lead a very comfortable life so far. However, anyone who's had to deal with tough issues or study the world might give things a second look that most people wouldn't. Sure, some will complain because they've lived too nicely to have actual problems in life, or are just misguided about everything, but it's ultimately not as common as the world wide web and entertainment industry might push it as. I'm guessing that because you're all mostly a bunch of old guys having had these films for so long, all this sudden outrage and precautions will seem silly. Times are changing, and in ways that are clearly directionless currently. But as I see it, there's nothing (besides Disney's eventual ownership of the planet) that tells me that censorship is gonna get worse, especially as there's as much push back about this particular treatment of older films.

Because human geography is a living evolving thing? Society learns and adapts to new standards? It’s like being mad that there are ratings. An MPAA rating is there to warn people of the content of the film, in case you might not want to watch it for those reasons. If these “trigger warnings” would be lumped into an MPAA rating, would you still call it lame, dumb, and juvenile? People are allowed to be offended by things.
