[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t understand why people don’t seem to notice or care how p*rny “normal” tv is. Like if you are a relatively unknown actress, you must either agree to go topless or simulate sex (even in roles playing teenaged girls) in order to land a part on an HBO show, among other similar examples. It’s such a gross industry but people just seem not to see that part of it—just the celebrity and glitz and money, impacting attitudes, fashion, and culture “on the ground”. I know no man is an island and I can’t pretend to be immune to these trickle-down influences, but I wish I could find more people who feel the same way as I do who are neither super religious nor super crunchy because I don’t fit well into either of those groups. So much misogyny and other violence towards women just totally normalized, infiltrating our screens and frying our brains.[/quote]

Hard agree! I'm not a prude but a lot of shows feature pretty graphic sex scenes for no discernable reason, story wise. It's like how a lot of streaming shows have characters swearing a lot because they can get away with it, whereas on broadcast and basic cable you can't. I'm not clutching my pearls, I just think it's lazy. It's like these shows are being written by 13 yr olds who are just so excited to be able to get away with using the f-word and showing boobs.[/quote]
