[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't think she handled it well but I cannot in a million years imagine needing to watch the sopranos so badly that I would insist on doing it on an airplane where a little kid could see. I would have just watched something else.

I wouldn’t. If the airline is showing it it’s fair game. I may fast forward but I’m watching what I want. Sorry if you deem it in appropriate. That’s your problem

Well yeah, I would be considerate in that situation and you would not. We all make our own choices. [/quote]

Do you expect everyone on the plane to watch Toy Story in case a kid looks up from their Nintendo?[/quote]

Yes. I oppose watching nudity or graphic violence on airplanes so everybody much watch only animated films. Thank you for articulating my opinion so clearly. [/quote]

So you don't think we should all just watch Toy Story. There aren't a lot of non-animated films that don't have some amount of violence and/or nudity (though less nudity these days). What is your acceptable level? Are Marvel movies too violent for your delicate sensibilities? How about John Wick?

What if the woman is breastfeeding in a scene and you can see everything - is that ok, it's just early 2000s-style HBO nudity that's unacceptable?

Please list off some movies that you would find acceptable for an adult to watch on an airplane.[/quote]

How about you go in the other direction? Sopranos is okay, right? What about everything in White Lotus? Game of Thrones? Texas Chainsaw Massacre? Straight-up p***?

I imagine we both think that not everything is okay to be consumed publicly. If you really wanted to watch Texas Chainsaw Massacre on an airplane but you know there is a 7-year old behind you who could see it, I do hope you'd just decide to hold off.

Personally I am pro-breastfeeding in public so we can get ride of the idea that breasts in any context are sexual, but that's neither here no there. [/quote]

Wait you don't think someone should even watch White Lotus on a plane? Can you go back and tell me if Marvel violence is ok? Is this essentially a standard where if you like something it's ok, and if you don't like it it's not ok?

[b]I agree that it's not always easy to find the line between straight up p**n and sexual imagery in a film or show that isn't p**n. [/b]But I think most of us can recognize the difference when we see it - and I think especially if someone is doing what you do when watching p**n on the plane, that's clearly not acceptable.

I guess the thing is that the don't be a jerk rule applies - but I'm not sure the guy was the one being the jerk here. Sure he could have turned off the show, or fast forwarded through the scene. But I don't think it's reasonable for adults, who are on a plane, to have to live as if we're all traveling with a toddler. [/quote]

Of course it is. Porn is the graphic depiction of actual sex acts. There was no actual sex in the Sopranos, or the White Lotus, for that matter. No genitals were on display, and the actors were not engaged in coitus.[/quote]
