I’ve had to stop watching most tv shows lately because of the extreme level of violence. And the less I watch the more sensitized I get. The double standard indicates a very sick society.
- ben_w 2y agoI noted much the same double standard at the turn of the millennium, back when I was at school and being encouraged to write letters to newspapers. This was the UK, so age of consent was 16, meaning I was allowed to perform acts that I wasn't allowed to watch.
- Yoric 2y agoI recall Georges Orwell making the same kind of remarks about novels in one of his essays, I think a little before WWII. I seem to recall that he was speaking of the depiction of physical violence in pulps. I... kinda think he was right.
