Wolverine really does look like two Batmen kissing
They can still show Tom Cruise flirting and leading the girl to a room, just don’t show the actual fucking. You know, like what old movies usually do to imply sex happened. Showing the actual sex is just makes it awkward when watching with friends and family and totally unnecessary for most shows unless the entire point of the show is about sex.
You realize you could just read a book about it too? Their are creative ways to avoid showing just about anything in a movie. But this isn’t what the poster was talking about. They were talking about censorship with a black screen.
I’m not saying to ban all sex scenes from all shows, but when a significant proportion of new shows these days include sex scenes compared to shows from the previous decades, it’s clear that netflix producers just shoving them into shows even if it’s not relevant to the show’s plot. A litmus test for this is if you can replace those soft core scenes with black screen and the plot is literally unaffected, then sex scenes on that show would provide no actual value beyond fan service. Of course, not all shows are like this, but a significant proportion of them do these days, which is why a lot of people (inculding me) is getting fed up with them.
Most action scenes could be skipped aswell with a black screen and showing the defeated party dead or incapitated on the floor afterwards.
Most landscape shots, portrait close-ups, or otherwise non-verbal scenes could be skipped entirely.
Thinking about it - most movies could be completely omitted by just telling the audience the end result with a few lines of text on screen.
Let people enjoy things. Just because you don’t care for sex scenes says nothing about them being invalid or unnecessary for other people.
