>We witness fictional acts of violence all the time at the movies, in PG-13 flicks and otherwise, and there's certainly a conversation to be had about our desensitization to that. But the conversation should also acknowledge that violent shoot-em-up art is a reflection of our times.
>Bluntly stated, the core of American values is rooted in violence. U.S. history is rife with acts of violence perpetuated against many different communities. Mass shootings are not aberrations — they are a continuation of a legacy of hate and violence, threaded through American culture and society.
>And if we're sugarcoating that violence in PG-13 movies — to attract younger movie goers, no less — we shouldn't be. Let them see the consequences of violence, in fiction and in the news. Perhaps a more visceral response to it could finally prompt Congress to pass gun control measures.

Why isn't the MPAA enforcing stricter ratings?
They are. When was the last time you saw pussy in a mainstream American movie?
Um, excuse me, but showing kids more violence is detrimental to their mental-health.
WON'T SOMEONE THINK OF THE CHILDREN!
They MPAA can do all they want, the NRA won't back down and can't be stopped.
Pic related was rated G in 1968.

Movie rating should just be suggestions.

It's like these people don't understand how much of a violent species we are. Like fucking seriously, people think shit like GoT is gratuitously violent, but it's actually tame as fuck compared to average life in centuries gone past.

Fucking liberals. They just had a blockbuster that analyzed the consequences of violence and they just bashed it because it was fascist or some shit.

The books have way more rape, and pretty much everyone just ignores shit like Cersei having babies murdered in the street because they're bastards or how Dany was only 13 when Drogo starting tapping that shit nightly and about how much she came to love getting fucked like a dog even when she was that young.
Deadpool was a step in the right direction, but people really should have watched Dredd.
One can only hope the last Wolverine movie will be R.
I agree, it's honestly quite disgusting.
Not that I like europe or japan's pervertedness, but it's not as bad.

This is cartoonishly bad so it's perfectly fine.

I'm aware of this, but show plebs seem to think the stuff on the show is violent enough. Just shows how sheltered these people are.
