I would also blame religion if not that here in Sweden we went from accepting sex and censoring violence to accepting violence and censoring sex, within about the span of almost just 10-20 years. The norm just changed and its very noticeable in movies if one compared those made before 1990 and those made after 2000.
There is no corresponding change in the religious demographic. If anything that demographic went down until 2015, where for other reasons it started to go up.
- ChrisSD 8y agoOthers in this thread think that's the influence the USA has had via their multinational tech companies.
- coldtea 8y agoThat's the Americanization of the world. If most of one's movies, songs, tv shows, social media control, search engine biases, etc, come from a single country, with its cultural stickups, that's what you get.
- extra88 8y ago> cultural stickups *cultural hangups, but I understood you.
- zozbot123 8y agoHe actually meant that people are literally being robbed of their culture at gunpoint, due to hostile American influence. That's what government-enforced censorship is, after all.
- Flimm 8y agoI would hypothesize that it is due to the greater influence of feminism. I realise that not all feminists would agree, but many feminists have been against the objectification of women's bodies in pornography, sexualized advertising and media.
- rexpop 8y agoFeminist, here. I disagree! :) There's big difference between using women's bodies to sell products (film franchise included) and permitting the open expression of nude bodies. I resent the former, and respect the latter.
- StevePerkins 8y agoThere is almost too much ridiculousness in these two sentences to unpack. From the notion that American hegemony suddenly began post-9/11, rather than 70 years ago. To the assertion that Google is deliberately biased toward violence over sex. The "America == bad, anything I don't like about my country == also America" mindset is a disingenuous rejection of agency. There are a lot of things going on the world today. If gender dynamics and sexual mores have shifted over the past decade where you live, it MIGHT be more closely related to that, rather than Tumblr fizzling out.
- naasking 8y ago> There is almost too much ridiculousness in these two sentences to unpack. From the notion that American hegemony suddenly began post-9/11, rather than 70 years ago. That's when online streaming started picking up steam. I think the OP is spot on that American culture influence would shift social mores, because mostly youth consume this content and then 10-20 years later, they're adults directing policy. Edit: fixed typo.
- bleb 8y agodid they say american hegemony began post-9/11 or that google's biases are deliberate? those claims would certainly be ridiculous. i think you may have a point but i'm not clear on it. you're saying that there are other factors besides US cultural hegemony which would've contributed to the shift in sweden's media norms?
