An old house, a geek, a cute transvestite, a very tall lesbian, and at least one ghost–what could happen? – Adult situations and artistic nudity. Not suitable for children.
I may never understand… well alright, not agree with… some people’s aversion to allowing younger people view some tasteful, sex positive pornography (these are important conditions; I am not in favour of letting 9 year olds run free about the Internet) at whatever age they find their own curiosity about the subject.
I’m not sure I WANT to understand why some of the same parents are cool with their kids watching a grotesque splatter horror flick.
Think of it this way: which behavior would you be more upset that they should emulate… let’s even say at age 15 so it’s not considered “legal” by authority figures everywhere: making love in a mutually respectful manner… or going on a murder spree in response to comparatively minor slights?
To me, that’s a no-brainer. I worry about the parents who think that’s a toughie…
My understanding is that violence that wouldn’t even be PG13 in the states gets the equivalent of an R rating in Europe, while boobs are not a ratings issue and full frontal isn’t always an R rating there. Europeans are ok with nudity but not ok with school shootings, while in the US we have different priorities.
Have to agree – never understood the utter panic caused by the odd bit of nudity, let alone more, in so many people compared to the apparent indifference to showing violence and death. A certain Janet Jackson superbowl event comes to mind…
Part of the problem is the that society freaks out about the whole thing. I grew up in a time when parents thought pictures of the toddlers playing in the bathtub or the bare bottom baby on the bearskin rug was cute. Bathing or seeing each other without clothes was not a big deal in my family. Nudity does not equal sex, it just equals nudity. However, things have progressed where Child Protective Services can get called on you if it is found out that such things are taking place, and pictures of anyone under the age of concent is considered kiddie porn, no matter how innocent the circumstances under which the picture took place.
I can’t explain why people whom are upset by even the suggestion of sexual situations are okay with blatant violence and gore, that one never made the slightest sense to me.
FEDERAL law says family photos that have non-sexualised child nudity is fine, otherwise nudests/ naturist couldn’t take family photos. The problem is there’s no clear definition as to what that means, so people who want to freak out can even if it’s nothing.
