      We are all here because of sex. I think it’s outrageous that violence is glorified when there isn’t a single person here not made from sex. Ok maybe a few but it’s a really small percentage.

        We never had a choice. I’m certainly not thankful for being born.

        I’ve also been told here that I’m probably partly asexual, which I believe is unrelated. But it shows that some people just aren’t interested.

        I really don’t see the reason for comparing it violence either. Drugs seem to be popular there too and they’re probably also a common reason for conception and I also don’t like seeing them.

        Is there such a thing as fluff movies? (I’d probably give one of those a try.)

      It bothers me that we’re at a place in society where all real violence is vehemently condemned. Mutual combat is prohibited in 46 of the 50 states, kids get expelled if they stick up to bullies, people are raised from birth to be complete victims if they’re ever in a physical confrontation, but then there’s all of this non-stop glorification of violence on-screen.

      You do realise that every “normal” superhero or fantasy movie contains some sort of violence right?

      Criticizing movies for violence is like saying people get violent because of video games.

        They’re talking about “ultraviolence” like The Boys or Dredd. Scenes that show incredibly detailed and gory violent acts like someone getting their skull crushed against a wall, or someone literally going “splat” against the concrete after falling a hundred stories.

          Ok but at least you know beforehand that those movies will be violent. If you don’t like it, don’t watch it.
