I agree. I am uncomfortable at the idea that people feel compelled to sanitize their realities so they only see the narratives they want to see.
Social media already makes this far too easy.
For art, this can make a movie have a very different meaning. Violence and sexuality can be very critical to the message of a movie, and editing it to make it mean something else just feels disingenuous to the original art.
This is like people covering statues of naked people because they're uncomfortable around nudity.
Still, I think individuals have a right to do this, whether for themselves or for their kids. I just view it like people's right to smoke cigarettes or go tanning. This is an inherently dangerous approach to life.
- marco1 11y agoWow, I feel your approach, just like the parent's one, is way too focused on moral, ethical and abstract concepts in general. This project doesn't try to create a huge filter bubble and introduce a dangerous approach to education and life. No, it's just a simple utility to help you make some simple cuts so that you can enjoy the movie without watching the few scenes that were inserted for shock value.
