It’s because women are 80% of the consumers in the west so corporations have to gear everything towards them to make their money back. Since the Internet men just steal everything online. So the days of making predator, aliens, or terminator are going to be gone for a very long time unfortunately.
I mean, it always has been. For example, the government (in some form) has regulated entertainment ever since before the Romans were feeding Christians to the lions. Or, in the US more recently, pre-code moves from the early 1930s would really open your eyes about American culture before the pearl-clutchers deciding we needed to be protected. Then there is the House Un-American Activities committee which went after the movie industry in the 1950s. Also, waves hand generally at China's influence on Marvel and how they edit out things that might hurt their people's sensibilities.

When Peter Dinklage said Snow White is “fucking backwards” because the dwarfs “live in a cave,” Disney should have had the balls to defend their intellectual property by simply reminding him that they do NOT live in a cave. They live in a lovely little German-style cottage. Problem solved. Instead they instantly caved, and look where it’s gotten them.
like people live in Coober Peddy, underground with constant temps, unlike outside that varies from 50 degrees during the day and "freezing" during the night. Very clever people who live in caves 👋@@py_a_thon
He thinks the Dwarves in lord of the rings live in caves when we know they live underground in giant cities that are well established. He think his dwarfism is the same as fantasy dwarves.
@@TT09B5 I doubt if Andre the Giant were alive that he’d be campaigning against a Jack and the Beanstalk movie. Dinklage is just looking for publicity, and probably gets off on the power of telling the world’s biggest entertainment company what to do.
How on earth are children allowed to mentally develop if they aren’t exposed to sad and uncomfortable stories? This is utter madness, we learned about grief in stories as children so as to understand it when it happens to us in adulthood.
Children? This sort of crap is going on at universities: safe spaces, trigger warnings, forbidden words, and censorship of any idea outside the accepted norm.
As a life long James Bond fan I wish they wouldn't make more films as they already ruined him with Daniel Craig only for them to abuse his corpse. Such pathetic, weak minded people who live today.
The next Bond will be awful. He'll have to be "feminist-approved." Think about that. I predict he will either not have sex and actively be rejected by at least one woman, or he may have sex once by a woman that first rejects him. There were already many statements about how he is a symbol for "toxic masculinity." He's an avatar for male fantasy, and male fantasy is unacceptable in a feminist world. Hell, they might even make him gay.
I'm in the same camp. Huge fan of the early films, but the writing has been awful since Casino Royale. I haven't watched No Time To Die as the plot isn't even a Bond movie. They can keep making them if they want, only i won't be watching anymore.
The trigger warnings as ridiculous as they are are not really a problem. It's the editing and censoring of films and TV series from the past that we need to be aware of.
I think they're more of a problem than they might seem. It conditions everyone to think of art in a certain way, and it subtley teaches certain value judgments. If a kid is growing up and sees all these old movies have warnings about the content, that is going to affect how they see the content. Same is true to a lesser extent for adults.
It amazes me considering just how much crime and violence that takes place each and every day . We need trigger warnings on bond films I watched as a child ! 😂
It's not about the violence xD. It's about the SEXISM and MYSOGINY and TOO MANY WHITE MALES etc. It's literally about that. In germany they put trigger warnings on comedies from the 70ties and 80ties lol.
Even as a kid I didn't take James Bond seriously. He was a bit of fun; outrageous villains, gadgets, cars, preposterous plots and beautiful women with action thrown in. You have to be very thin skinned to take offence at it. This sums up the oppressive, humourless, ridiculous progressives who want trigger warnings. You don't like James Bond don't go and see him but stop interfering in our fun. Live and let live, not the name of a Bond movie! As the late Barry Humphries said, 'The politically correct new puritanism is scary.'
The strange thing is, you can watch a horror movie about people getting tortured, or countless other types of movies about countless offensive things, but they don't require a warning. Only a movie that presents "toxic masculinity".
I can't even bring myself to watch it anymore. Used to love it. Was perfectly fine with diverse casting and story lines as long as it all made sense and the stories were good and the Doctor actually felt like the Doctor. But now it's just hammer the bloody 'message' into your head. No thanks.
It has since Capaldi’, Capaldis episode had the “gay” kiss in 2014 and series 8 when the master A Women (wich i did not agree with, she could have been The Rani) also The line lis the future going to be all girl, we can only hope” is the moment it went proper woke and they where was no turning back look at where we are now.

It is a depressing time we are in. The world is a pretty sad place right now, but I hope God gives you hope like he has for me. I believe part of my depression comes from realizing that I don't feel at home anymore in an evil world, but that is actually a great thing
Imagine you sit down to write a book or a drama script. After 2 weeks you haven't written a word because you can't really express yourself. This is where we are. Creativity is dying due to having to adhere to ever narrowing guidelines.
You know, watching Bugs Bunny and the Road Runner can be hugely "triggering." Lots of hitting and chasing and name calling. Everything and anything MAY trigger anyone. So what do we do, sterilize to the extreme? If so, we may as well stare at a blank screen for two hours "just in case" someone is offended at more than that.
Bugs Bunny and Road Runner are only 'triggering' for idiots and pussies. My friends and I all watched those every day as 3+ year olds and we're all OK!!
They began to sanitise cartoons like Bugs bunny or road runner back in the 80's 90's and because no one spoke out against here we are, it it has creeped in everywhere to the point it is seen as essential to have some bleeding heart looking for any triggers that may offend any and all.
Lol yeah, nothing more trigger inducing than cartoons. I've watched Looney Tunes as long as I can remember, I never once wanted to shoot someone, throw a stick of dynamite, drop an anvil, or hit someone over the head with a blunt instrument. This is what's called 'Slapstick Comedy/Humor'. Where you can point blank shoot a character with a double barrel shot gun and the worst it does is slightly injures the character but mostly it just annoys them. Or in Daffy Duck's case it spun his bill around. xD
One depressing aspect is that we are bombarded only by the "current thing". I know things about this world that may as well be considered pseudo-gnostic knowledge. And partially because I dont think sane people can handle the information without going a bit crazy. A year of content regarding a war...and like 1 day of reporting about a double damn collapse that killed like 20,000 people in Libya(in literally like one day)? That tragedy is useless to our goals tho...so who cares?, right? Right? Ima leave now. (Exit stage left)
The reality is that these activists fear a strong Alpha Male(in this case James Bond) who saves the World,has beautiful women and classic one liners,and they have this delusional thinking that they assume most people are against this.
When my kids were young, we were on vacation and we had adjoining hotel rooms. After the kids watched Watership Down they ran into our room because the movie was freaking them out.
Growing up in the 90s, I remember in high school they made us read The Handmaid's Tale. After we were done with that lesson we were "rewarded" with watching the movie. This was in grade 10, and no, there was not trigger warning or a choice. I do not recommend this movie to anyone who needs a trigger warning.
Knowing that seeing a baby seal being clubbed to death made this man immediately turn it off and bothered this man for the rest of the day, makes me respect him. That truly is sickening. Unlike 100% of things that have trigger warnings.
Also, the second Hand embarrassment I feel when I hear anyone ask what your pronouns are. When someone says: “you’ve misgendered me”, 99.999999% of the time….. you haven’t
Watership Down was deeply disturbing to me as a kid…but also a wonderful and compelling piece of fiction I never regretted watching. Detailed ratings are at least better than new edits!
@@joshuacalkins same writer and director, about two dog friends who escape from a experimentation lab. I remember sobbing at the ending as a kid. You should watch it, but it may not have the same effect looking through adult eyes. Both are very good productions which are harrowing for young'uns haha.
@@Dezzasheep Dang, that sounds harrowing to me too! As dark as the fiction I’ve seen over the years is, my tolerance for animal suffering in fiction, like real life, has gone down. (Those poor olyphants inLOTR! Ha!). Speaking of which, Secret of Nimh was a rough ride. The sequence of psychedelic agony that those rats were going through was really disturbing. Another classic, though! Btw, I hear that the newer versions of WD are not so good, and the Netflix one looks very odd.
I’m so glad I’m 40 years old and not growing up with all this nonsense. Like many of you watching this, I’m happy that I got the chance to grow up in the real world.
It really doesn’t matter. The last director I watched said that ‘Once Upon A Time In Hollywood’. Was his farewell film. Why do they think WE need THEM?
The video was amazing and very well put together, as usual. The topic of cultural juveniles running the show in the entertainment industry is spot on. It's ironic that classics like James Bond come with trigger warnings, while the actual offensive content like Salo goes unremarked. It's a bizarre twist of priorities, and it feels like we're living in a real-life Orwellian script from 1984, where everything is upside down. The situation with Doctor Who just highlights how far things have strayed from entertainment to indoctrination. It's more about ticking off boxes on the woke checklist than actually creating something enjoyable. It's sad that creative freedom is shackled by the chains of political correctness to this extent. Let's hope for a return to genuine storytelling and entertainment without the heavy-handed moral preaching!
This nonsense has been brewing and building for decades....15 or so years ago the Tom And Jerry boxed DVD set was introduced by Whoopee Goldberg explaining how terrible and racist it all was.
Where is the "trigger warning" for the new "doctor who" are they sure it's for little kids? are they sure? if they are, then they need to be investigated for abuse
The presence of trigger warnings on James Bond movies is just one example of a broader trend in the entertainment industry towards hyper-sensitivity about content. Similarly, the shift in Doctor Who's narrative to incorporate overtly politically correct themes is indicative of a move away from traditional storytelling towards social messaging. There is also an increasing trend in casting decisions that prioritizes identity politics over suitability for the role, as evidenced by the ongoing debate around actors playing characters whose identities they share. Ultimately, the situation with James Bond and Doctor Who is part of a larger cultural shift where entertainment is increasingly being used as a platform for social and political messages, often at the expense of the story itself.
@@I-Dophlerperhaps a compromise could be reached? “The past is a foreign country; they do things differently there.” (LP Hartley, from his 1953 novel The Go-between). Might make a satisfying trigger warning acceptable to all. Pride kept intact, what! (They could replace the one for The Muppet Show with that quote. Imagine that! People might then think we were all muppets long, long ago.)
@@rustshoo5068 Absolutely agree! The quote from Hartley's "The Go-between" is a splendid suggestion for a universal 'trigger warning'. It eloquently captures the essence of historical context and how perceptions evolve over time. This way, we honor the past with understanding rather than judgement, and appreciate it for what it is - a different time with different norms. Plus, the thought of it being used for 'The Muppet Show' does add a humorous twist, underscoring the need to view history with a balanced perspective!
6:41 The Carry On films now have a trigger warning for "outdated language ". Most of the classic war movies have them now. You can show German and Japanese soldiers being killed, as long as those shooting them don't call them K****s or J**s. (Edited as the last version was removed).
I wish wonderful films of the past could be brought back...Good, clean fun and inspiring, touching the emotions e.g. tissues needed. Also loved "Singing in the rain", "American in Paris" Other great ones with Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers and many more I can mention...Hate all the violence, explicit sex scenes etc etc of today...Not a good example for our young people.

They are doing it to get themselves noticed. They gat brownie points from pressure groups and pegged one up on the nation league table - HR department gets a slap on the back.
Of course they only read or listen to the people who complain as it'll only take them twenty minutes to get through them all. It'd take them over a few weeks to get the through the backlog of positives!
I find this quite curios. I recently bought the BFI’s 4k release of Get Carter. Extraordinary film. Caine brutalises everyone in this film, male and female alike. No trigger warnings on that release. James Bond gets one from the BFI. Very strange.
Because the left is OBBSESSED with Anti Heros like John Wick, The Punisher and Batman to an extent (his methods are questionable) so Carter gets a free pass
Should there be 'trigger warnings' on early James Bond films?
Don't be ridiculous

James Bond is male; of course there needs to be a trigger warning!

Exactly. It's absolutely mind-boggling.

@@Dezzasheep Dang, that sounds harrowing to me too! As dark as the fiction I’ve seen over the years is, my tolerance for animal suffering in fiction, like real life, has gone down. (Those poor olyphants inLOTR! Ha!). Speaking of which, Secret of Nimh was a rough ride. The sequence of psychedelic agony that those rats were going through was really disturbing. Another classic, though!
Btw, I hear that the newer versions of WD are not so good, and the Netflix one looks very odd.
I cried my heart out to watership down as a child. Still find it really sad if it’s on now
Umpa-lumpa’s around the world are outraged by Hugh Grant playing the part in Charlie and the chocolate factory.
Simple DONT PAY YOUR TV LICENCE SIMPLE......
If you are having Douglas on regularly, the Critical Drinker is a must. The Blue eye Samurai, the Whale etc. there are good productions out there.
Speaking of bananas, are they going to put trigger warnings on Woody Allen movies now?
Why is the age rating system no longer sufficient? At the start of the film it was always sufficient to say 'contains violence gore bad language' ?
Keep Douglas.
It just gets worse and worse. I hate this planet.
I think this BS started years ago when some idiot sued a hot coffee vendor for burning herself when she dumped her hot coffee on herself by accident.
Yep, about the same time they started doing participation trophies!! 👀
Heterosexual men are upsetting, obviously the public need protecting.
😂😂
Lol 🤣😂🤣
Douglas is evolving into Rick Astley.
I've been suffering from severe PTSD since watching Bambi decades ago. Can I sue Disney?
It's now called Dr You Who.
Or who you .....today
To be fair Seal Clubbing part 2 is a decent flick
Hats on to Douglas for surviving a view of Salo.
Imagine the trigger warnings if "Cannibal Holocaust" was released in this era 🤣
I saw a trigger warning the other day about hot-water bottles......🤦
I’m so glad I’m 40 years old and not growing up with all this nonsense. Like many of you watching this, I’m happy that I got the chance to grow up in the real world.
It really doesn’t matter. The last director I watched said that ‘Once Upon A Time In Hollywood’. Was his farewell film. Why do they think WE need THEM?
The video was amazing and very well put together, as usual. The topic of cultural juveniles running the show in the entertainment industry is spot on. It's ironic that classics like James Bond come with trigger warnings, while the actual offensive content like Salo goes unremarked. It's a bizarre twist of priorities, and it feels like we're living in a real-life Orwellian script from 1984, where everything is upside down. The situation with Doctor Who just highlights how far things have strayed from entertainment to indoctrination. It's more about ticking off boxes on the woke checklist than actually creating something enjoyable. It's sad that creative freedom is shackled by the chains of political correctness to this extent. Let's hope for a return to genuine storytelling and entertainment without the heavy-handed moral preaching!
This nonsense has been brewing and building for decades....15 or so years ago the Tom And Jerry boxed DVD set was introduced by Whoopee Goldberg explaining how terrible and racist it all was.
I don’t think having a literal gorilla explain racism was a wise move.
Damned racist cartoons anyhow. If people are offended by talking CARTOON animals, they need serious help!
Where is the "trigger warning" for the new "doctor who"
are they sure it's for little kids?
are they sure? if they are, then they need to be investigated for abuse
I had to go bleach my eyes out after watching that crap.
I can't say how much I've enjoyed you hosting Piers these last few days! Please do your own show!!!!
The presence of trigger warnings on James Bond movies is just one example of a broader trend in the entertainment industry towards hyper-sensitivity about content. Similarly, the shift in Doctor Who's narrative to incorporate overtly politically correct themes is indicative of a move away from traditional storytelling towards social messaging. There is also an increasing trend in casting decisions that prioritizes identity politics over suitability for the role, as evidenced by the ongoing debate around actors playing characters whose identities they share. Ultimately, the situation with James Bond and Doctor Who is part of a larger cultural shift where entertainment is increasingly being used as a platform for social and political messages, often at the expense of the story itself.
Very good points. Well observed.
@@rustshoo5068 Many thanks.
@@I-Dophlerperhaps a compromise could be reached?
“The past is a foreign country; they do things differently there.”
(LP Hartley, from his 1953 novel The Go-between).
Might make a satisfying trigger warning acceptable to all. Pride kept intact, what!
(They could replace the one for The Muppet Show with that quote. Imagine that! People might then think we were all muppets long, long ago.)
@@rustshoo5068 Absolutely agree! The quote from Hartley's "The Go-between" is a splendid suggestion for a universal 'trigger warning'. It eloquently captures the essence of historical context and how perceptions evolve over time. This way, we honor the past with understanding rather than judgement, and appreciate it for what it is - a different time with different norms. Plus, the thought of it being used for 'The Muppet Show' does add a humorous twist, underscoring the need to view history with a balanced perspective!
Dr Pronoun is about BBCs wonkowoko ideology.
6:41 The Carry On films now have a trigger warning for "outdated language ". Most of the classic war movies have them now. You can show German and Japanese soldiers being killed, as long as those shooting them don't call them K****s or J**s. (Edited as the last version was removed).
NowTV have been doing this for a while. I noticed over a year ago a trigger warning on Lawrence of Arabia, and a bunch of other classics.
My sentiments on Dr Who exactly!!
I wish wonderful films of the past could be brought back...Good, clean fun and inspiring, touching the emotions e.g. tissues needed. Also loved "Singing in the rain", "American in Paris" Other great ones with Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers and many more I can mention...Hate all the violence, explicit sex scenes etc etc of today...Not a good example for our young people. Rosa Rarsen
Will they censor all firearms in the old movies?
Like they did with walkie-talkies in E.T.?
They are doing it to get themselves noticed. They gat brownie points from pressure groups and pegged one up on the nation league table - HR department gets a slap on the back.
Thank so much , thanks so much 😅best host ever. Almost an enfeild skit
This is why I don't have a TV now and just watch TH-cam BBC can do one
I like DM but please dont call a kilt a skirt and yes the demise if Dr Who makes me sad
Utterly ridiculous!!
My name is Bond, James Bond but sometimes it's Jane
Pitiful crap,the bbc should be ashamed of itself 😮
Thanks Douglas…I hope we get to see you more often!
Of course they only read or listen to the people who complain as it'll only take them twenty minutes to get through them all.
It'd take them over a few weeks to get the through the backlog of positives!
I find this quite curios. I recently bought the BFI’s 4k release of Get Carter. Extraordinary film. Caine brutalises everyone in this film, male and female alike. No trigger warnings on that release. James Bond gets one from the BFI. Very strange.
Because the left is OBBSESSED with Anti Heros like John Wick, The Punisher and Batman to an extent (his methods are questionable) so Carter gets a free pass
The pronoun alien in Dr. Who looks like a werewolf version of Yoda.
