Disney easing up on movie censorship?

[Vakanai]

Janet Jackson's nipplegate came as a shock, it was unplanned, unprofessional and that is real life.

DOFP, Hamilton, Splash are all fiction with high realism moments.no shock there.

For me nudity is worse if we are really talking about protecting kids. If I had a kid, I rather him hear the n word than see a grown man or woman naked that is sex related.

I'd much rather have my kids if I had any see mild nudity than hear such hateful words myself. I mean we're not talking about pornographic content here, we're talking butt shots. Everyone has butts.

Butts in sex content not butts like stripping a slave and whooping them. (12 years a slave)

For me personally, I think kids senses may become unnecessarily triggered watching a sex scene. Kids are too young to understand how offensive the n word is but a sex related scene with nudity can set their hormones off earlier than the puberty age.

Watch this video of kate winslet, she said when titanic was released in 3D, she had to cover her son eyes when her nude scene was up.



I agree with her. I would do the same.

I mean how much sex is in a movie? I mean, outside of R-rated works which I wouldn't let them watch until they were teenagers anyway? There's just not that much sex with nudity content in most non-R films.

And the Titanic was pretty tame, I saw that as a kid and was fine, most people were.

We saw both clash of the titans and romeo and juliet at school as kids and both had naked woman.

So were fine. Both were pretty tame.

Yeah, I remember getting pretty giddy seeing Juliet's boobs, but I don't think it became some defining moment in mine or my classmates' lives.

I watched Trading Places as a child one afternoon and I wonder how I survived seeing Jaime Lee Curtis topless^^

I remember my 14-year-old self sitting in the theater watching full-frontal-nude Elizabeth McGovern in Ragtime, with my eyes sticking out of my head on Tex Avery stalks.

And I was maybe 10 or 11 when I saw The Bad News Bears, which may have had more swearing than any movie I've seen before or since, and was maybe rated PG.

Well, standards do change. Way I see it, parents should be monitoring what their children watch anyways and deciding what they think is acceptable, what's not, providing guidance when needed, etc.

Yes, parents should, not companies. Censorship "for the children" is a sucky excuse. That's the parents' job.

Never saw goonies?

I was more thinking of how through I am with the "think of the children" protests over media more so then companies self-censoring themselves, but that is an interesting question; should companies edit and censor their materials and when? (I guess I'm not as worried about public broadcasts and streaming services, since they're less easy to monitor then parents being able to screen videos from the Redbox or their personal collections, if you know what I mean.)

And companies need to give parents the ability to succeed. Too many people making this argument want to push 100% of the responsibility onto the parents.

"Self-censoring" isn't really censoring. It's just making a choice on how to present your material and what audience you want to reach. If Disney doesn't want to show butts on shows they're marketing towards children, even if they had done so earlier, that is their right.

Push back from parents wanting to put 100% responsibility on to the media and society.

Because it should be 100% on the parents. Companies shouldn't censor content, they should just offer parental controls. Decide whether your kids can even stream PG 13 content or not, have a password on your account for accessing R rated content so you the parent can watch whatever while your kid can't. Done. That's all companies need to do. Not censor everything like adults don't exist.
