Why are certain words such a thing in America? No troll, I'm genuinely curious. I mean you can show drug use, murder and torture but no buttcracks or swear words?
I'm from the UK and even the BBC will let you have a load of 'fucks' and 'cunts', plus a modest amount of boobs.
So whats the deal with not being able to 'fuck' on TV in the states?
>>67771139
Fun fact
That episode has TWO uses of the word fuck: the letter mike leaves for the popo and when he tells Walter "shut the fuck up and let me die". TV only allows one use of the f bomb for whatever reason so Gilligan and the boys decided mikes last words would be the better usage
>>67771290
In short: Christians.
>>67771290
Because the MPAA is run by a bunch of Christian fundamentalists and there's plenty of violence in the bible so that's fine I guess. Now a bunch of Americans who grew up on censored TV now think the MPAA = moral guideline and anything they say is gospel. It's also the reason we don't get many Hollywood quality Lovecraft movies, because a lot of his themes are seen as anti-Christian.
>>67771290
I'm pretty sure the basis is that parents don't want their 10 year olds going around saying "fuck" but they just give them the benefit of the doubt they won't murder someone with a baseball bat or put a bomb in their house.
I'm not arguing it's right, but thats kind of the reasoning.

Shit dude if you're just going to be blatantly retarded why even post

So delusional or uninformed.
>MUH CHRISTIAN BOOGEY MAN
Might as well blame red dit
>>67771553
Is it really religion then?
I suppose it makes sense because the general public love to get offended at stupid shit here in UK as much as anywhere, but we're not really influenced by religion, certainly not like in America.
The Walking Dead feels a little forced without swearing. It's not necessary for plot, but when your mates are getting shredded by zombies every 5 minutes, I'd throw a fuck out there.
>>67771503
It's not TV, it's AMC. Cable television has zero content restrictions other than hardcore pornography, the networks choose to censor themselves.
>>67771632
>>67771553
Absurdly inaccurate, honestly. It has nothing to do with Christianity and everything to do with "muh kids". The MPAA members are relatively secular middle class faggots.
anyone got another link for the audio?
>>67771915
>I'll just pull shit straight outta my ass and maybe people will buy it.
>>67771915
And do you honestly believe that they're not all Christians? It's not just a coincidence. They're trying raise their kids 'the good, proper, American, Christian way'.
>>67771915
Embarrasing
>>67772005
Yes hollywood is still run by good God fearing Christians. Retard. 30/40 years ago you peoples argument might hold some weight, but not today.
Surely have you not realised that it's not hearing 'bad words' or playing GTA that forms crazy cunts that rape and kill people.
Some of the time it's these strict dogmas that lead to individuals cracking at shooting up a school or something.
>>67772005
Jesus fuck, do Europeans still think it's 1950 in America? It has nothing to do with the "good Christian way", American atheists are still puritan and conservative as shit compared to Europeans, it's an ingrained part of the culture, for better or worse.
>>67772208
Honestly the main correlation seems to be meds. Who knew that taking literally 50% of the country and fucking with their brain chemistry might produce a few loons?

I don't know why americucks take so many fucking pills. It's disgusting
>>67772387
>I feel depressed
>surely its not because you don't spend enough time outdoors, take this here happy pill
>wow works great
>weeks later build tolerance
>feeling depressed again
>ah thats normal, here we'll up the dosage
>rinse and repeat until dead
Replace depressed with hungry, angry, lonely, horny, distracted, or virtually any other emotion or feeling and there's a pill designed to "help". That is of course if the pill doesn't destroy your organs or make you kill yourself
>>67772540
Also our whole medical system is skewed in such a way that doctors and psychiatrists have every incentive to keep you hooked, although the unfortunate tradeoff is that America also pays for the majority of the pharma R&D in the world, so if we "fix" our healthcare system, we are also less likely to get new drugs for real shit that actually matters.
I am sure that anti-depressants and anti-psychotics help a lot of people, but the unfortunate reality is that statistically, it's going to negatively affect at least a small portion of those people, and some of those folks are going to kill people because of it.
>>67772540
It's because plebs have no interests beyond watching the latest episode of any shitty show. When they place all their bets to something irrelevant like OH MAYBE THE JETS WILL WIN THE NEXT GAME and it doesn't happen they have nothing to turn to and they are crushed and the only way out for them is to numb the pain. They also make other people's problems their own
>>67771290
Literally everything you need to know about why American media is like it is today can be found in a quick glance of the Production Code. It's not really in use anymore but its presence is still felt and everything it established as "right" and "moral" still applies in a lot of ways today.

Yep, it's an entire culture and tradition which is passed down from one generation to the next, with each generation pushing certain boundaries based on views of the time (for example, nudity being more prevalent in the 70s despite being arguably more "accepted" now). If you actually talk to individuals, you're hard pressed to find someone who has an issue with saying fuck on a show like Breaking Bad, but it's censored due to the culture.

Revolutionary point, thanks for pushing this discussion into new places.
>>67771139
I still maintain to this day that the opening scene of the episode in season 5 where Walt, Mike, and Todddismantle the kids bike to put into the acid and then have to do that to the kids bodyis one of the darkest things I've seen on tv.
