      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.

      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.

    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!

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.

    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!

    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.

      @@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!
