The mass censorship of media makes no sense.
Something is going on, and we need to talk about it right now before we let censors go so far that art and storytelling are ruined. No, I’m not overreacting. I’m just responding to one of the weirdest trending topics recently: people demanding the removal of sex and nudity from film and TV.
I came across this trending thread and thought it was a joke. In the comments, there are even people who want to take kissing out of film and TV.
After wasting a lot of time wading through this controversy, I tracked everything back to a show on Netflix called You. For those of you who have never seen the show, it’s an erotic thriller about obsession, lust, and sex.
As you can imagine, there’s a fair amount of the stuff people want to ban in it.
An actor in the show, Penn Badgley, recently said he wanted to stop doing sex scenes.
“Fidelity in every relationship, and especially my marriage, is important to me,” Badgley said. “And, yeah, it just got to a point where I didn’t wanna do that.”
