I'm actually okay with this. I only watch movies with my family and I'm sick of having to pass up on actually interesting movies because they're excessively vulgar. If there was a service I could pay to censor movies for me, I would.

Yeah, I actually prefer a minimal sex scene (conveying the idea that it happened) to the explicit and lengthy stuff in your average HBO mini-series. Even less tolerant of sexual violence and torture. When I think of how many fake rapes I’ve witnessed/mentally onboarded via cinema/tv it makes me throw up a bit.

  I've linked to it in the past but I think it's relevant again. "Wait, There's Torture in Zootopia?: Examining the Prevalence of Torture in Popular Movies", 2019. https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=3342908 https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=3342908

> If there was a service I could pay to censor movies for me, We used to have a number of them. Cleanfilms was one. Send them a DVD, they'd sanitize the content onto another disc, ruin the original and send you both. Legacy copyright gatekeepers couldn't resist their own compulsions for control - they systematically sued CF and others out of existence. ref:https://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=5548029 https://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=554802... ref:https://www.audioholics.com/news/studios-sue-family-friendly-dvd https://www.audioholics.com/news/studios-sue-family-friendly...
