    I'm reminded of the scene in Commando where Ahnold is fighting a dude at a hotel and they crash through a wall into a room with a couple fucking in it.

    Obviously, the protagonist would have suffered vis-a-vis his character development had not those rude titties been present!

    A big part of that is that we as a society have evidently decided that graphic depictions of violence are less objectionable than an in-context titty. The weird ratings system reflects that.

    Filmmakers may be tempted to "push the envelope" by ramping up the kill rate and fast-cutting the shit out of a film to compensate. It's a bit lazy.

    Stephen King's Under the Dome seems to be making fun of that trope really well too. The villain does not swear, constantly says shit like clustermug or cotton-pickin, because he's "Christian" but he does horrible, awful things non-stop.

    It makes him utterly infuriating.

    Cotton pickin', as a curse, is way worse than normal curses, from what I can tell. I mean it seems like it is referencing slavery.

    Yeah! And when I go out for a night on the town, I don't want to see any gratuitous alcohol, or gratuitous chocolate, or gratuitous laughing. All those things are best kept to a minimum. And god forbid I see a nipple or my whole night is ruined.

    As a Real American, I just want to see people killing one another without even a token showing of regard for human life.

    i think gratuitous nudity is distracting. i mean, i buy a movie ticket to be entertained and swept in a story, if i wanted to see women's boobs, i'd go to the porn shoppe or something.

    "gratuitous" nudity

    because you need to minimise it

    or people might see nipples and shit

    ryze:

    safe build:

    banshees veil, tear (archangel at the end), will of the ancients, merc treads, frozen heart, +1 defensive/offensive item depending (guardian angel is fine, can even do shit like warmogs, void staff if you need da pen)

    TRUE MAN BUILD: rod of ages frozen heart, archangel, sorc boots, will of the ancients, void staff/abyssal scepter depending on enemy mr/another rod of ages if you feeling it

    build that makes enemy team go lolwut: rod of ages rod of ages frozen heart archangel sorc boots DEATHCAPLOL (this is troll build but you end up with 5.5k mana and 700 ap - es hilarious)

    normally i prefer rod of ages to banshees veil in 9/10 situations, if i need mr i just keep the negatron and dont upgrade

    There is a scene in Drive when Bryan Cranston's character (movie spoilers if you haven't seen it)
    gets a major artery in his wrist slashed open with a straight razor by Al Brooks' character. I mean he practically saws his hand off with it. It is graphic.

    And this was explicitly shown because it's supposedly part of this relatively unknown director's "style", to depict hyperviolence like that.

    I'm a grown-ass man and that scene disturbed me for days and days. My dreams are filled with titties, my nightmares with graphic violence.

    It's totally racist.

    every person who doesn't like an acquired taste always seems to think everyone who likes it is faking it. it should be an official fallacy.

    I remember a lot of bare asses in that movie but hyper-violence? Nothing comes to mind.

    opening scene? The Barber shop?

    What happens when Viggo's dong is flying about in the bath house?

    There is lots of cray violence in that film. Deliberate, not-panning-away "fuck you you must watch this" violence.

    Our culture is stupidly immature about nudity, we get it.

    On the plus side, it gives burlesque shows more material to work with.

    knife violence is a lot harder for me to swallow than gun violence. I can watch someone pumped full of lead and forget about it. A stab or throat slice or something?

    I just can't get it out of my head. It revolts me. The Scene in Drive, a movie I haven't even seen, a SCENE I have only HEARD about, revolts me more than the worst gun violence I've ever seen

    You're saying that if we as a society had a more open attitude towards nudity, then even girls too chubby to be strippers would have to go back to trying to be interesting and developing personalities?
