People are weird. The US/Hollywood is far more prudish since my youth. Would doubt bikinis and shirtless swimming will be a thing in another generation. Which maybe is ok since the vast majority will be obese anyway.
- falcolas 3y ago> The US/Hollywood is far more prudish since my youth. The prudishness manifested differently. I recall a lot more nudity and at least as many sex scenes in movies I watched as a kid (under 18). Highlander Lethal Weapon Robocop Life of Brian Even OG Batman had some nudity and referenced sex in it as a PG-13. Exposed breasts and sex scenes were pretty common. Full frontal nudity was even relatively common. And sometimes wouldn't even garner an R rating.
- hindsightbias 3y agoRomeo and Juliet would be child porn today. There’s a TV channel for old shows/movies here. Clothed nipples are obscured. A sci-fi movie, the plaque on the NASA satellite with nude human figures was obscured. Who will protect the aliens? Tipper Gore and Jerry Falwell lost the battle, but they won the war.
- falcolas 3y agoI think I read your post backwards - my bad. With that context, yeah, we are more prudish about movies and such today. That said, it's easier to distribute and sell NC-17+ materials today than it ever has been.
