Not sure at what point during this century it was decided that all fiction needed to be morally instructive.
Sometimes books can be about things that are bad- bad behavior, bad relationships etc. That doesn't mean the author is "normalizing X" or "glorifying Y". It's fiction! Not everything is here to teach you a lesson. We're not living in a perpetual Very Special Episode.
People need to stop channeling Plato:

i think when we used to point out that a story didn't need a sex scene what we meant was "this story reduces its women to mere sex objects and gives them no interiority so the sex scenes are gratuitous and geared towards the male gaze" it wasn't the sex that bothered us per se it was the objectification of female characters while givig them little to no consequence to the overall story but nowadays people mean "sex is icky and gross and has no merit to ever be portrayed in our arts which should be good and pure and never ever make ME feel discomfort" and it's like. i bet a bowl of unfrosted flakes looks real good to you rn
As a minor, I think restricting certain content makes movies more accessible for people like me. If everything is filled with s*x all the time, it can get pretty overwhelming or uncomfortable, especially when I'm still figuring out what’s appropriate for my age. And there is definitely not enough LGBTQ+ media for minors!!! LGBTQ+ minors need SAFE representation!!!!!
If people really want to see more s*x in media, they should just go to fanfic in 18+ groups or similar places. That way, they can enjoy the raunchy stuff without it spilling over into mainstream movies and making everything more mature than I'm ready for!! If media gets too explicit, it might just make it harder for younger audiences like me to access stories that are suitable for our age!
Absolutely not. Hays-Code-style censorship is not the way to go. It won't make movies more accessible to people like you, by the way, as proven by the age verification laws that have been on the rise lately — in case you haven't noticed. No, cutting sex scenes from movies aimed at adults would not change the fact that you're not the target demographic. In other words, you would still not be allowed to watch them.
Regarding your education-related concerns, go check out non-fiction sex education resources meant for people your age:
Fictional media is not where you should be getting answers to your questions; movies and shows are created mainly for entertainment purposes, after all. Ideally, people should be taking what they see on TV with a grain of salt due to the artistic liberties writers take while crafting their stories. They're not writing educational guides.
Look, if you're not ready for mature themes like sex, just stick to watching stuff which doesn't depict sex scenes (e.g., kid's shows). Don't make it everyone else's problem.
Crowdsourced trigger warnings spoilers for movies, tv, books and more.
This site tells one if a movie contains sexual content or not.
It's the responsibility of parents, teachers, and non-fiction to teach children about the world. Kids are told not to believe everything they see on TV for a good reason:
Creators are allowed to be inaccurate if the inaccuracy serves the story better than accuracy would. In a nutshell, there are two forms of t
Fiction is not reality. While fiction rarely shows the negative consequences of a trope, reality is not as forgiving. Every trope here can h
Fiction is entertainment, first and foremost.
A friendly reminder: Fictional characters are not role models. They are mainly entertainment.
A reminder than an author writing romance novels/shippy fanfiction does not equal them "endorsing" or "romanticizing" real-life toxic relationships by virtue of their stories being romances.
As works of fiction, romance novels and fanfics are not guides to healthy relationships. People read/write them for entertainment purposes.
If you need a guide, check out the non-fiction section in your public library. Fiction authors — children's book writers included, by the way! — aren't teachers. Therefore, they don't owe their audience a thing in that regard.
Remember: in fiction, the story comes first.

Hey fandom, fiction doesn't work like Hollywood's version of hypnosis.
Similar to fiction, hypnosis in real life does not affect you by compromising your will. People are not passive recipients of commands or media content.
Antishippers on my dash referencing obscenity laws & hayes codes to make their arguments we are so cooked
#txt post#they were arguing for censoring not porn: not ships: but just any depiction of abuse#i hate yall!!#anti censorship
This is where the idea that depicting abuse in fiction "is only acceptable if you don't romanticize or sexualize it" gets us wrt censorship: now nobody is allowed to depict it — not even abuse survivors — because it has to be handled the "right" way (always in a didactic fashion).
No kinks, power fantasies (e.g., the heroine lives happily ever after with the abusive hero, whom changed for her), or stories where an unrepentant abuser protagonist doesn't get punished by the narrative.
Only stories which provide moral instruction like a conduct novel written in the 18th century are okay in these people's eyes. *Eye roll*
Fandom Problem #15,922:
Yes, it is important to re-educate people about misconceptions regarding how wolf packs work.
But maybe omegaverse fanfiction and wolfshifter romantasy novels aren't exactly the right place for that. Believe me, most people aren't reading them for their realism.

Anyone can be discarded by society
People get made fun of for being scared of aging but it comes from the very real fear of being discarded by society that’s why i always say the goal is not to never become old or disabled the future comes for us all the goal is better social policy

a lot of people assume psychosis hallucinations are super intense all-consuming horror movie shit like the memes about the hat man or always horrible debilitating things that make you dangerous to be around
but in my experience 95% of my hallucinations are getting spooked by very clearly hearing someone knocking on my door or calling my name from another room or hearing footsteps walking behind me which are "just" my brain recreating the horror of an abusive childhood
i *have* gotten the "bugs crawling all over me" hallucination once or twice though and yeah that one is exactly as terrible horrible as it sounds AUGH
(not trying to put you on blast specifically, you're just a good example to jump off of)
media and pop culture hypes up psychosis a lot as The Worst That Can Happen out of sanism, so even when you try and filter that cultural bias out you still assume it's based on something
when, no, psychosis is actually very simple: it's just hyperactive pattern matching. it's your brain's signal-to-noise ratio being off balance, it's seeing images in random static. it's not always this special uniquely big thing, it's in fact quite mundane a lot of the time.
no one is immune to psychosis, it's not purely the realm of the insane. anyone is one bad night of sleep or one bad case of food poisoning or one bad fever away from being just like me on my worst days.
and this, indeed, is why solidarity with the insane is so important: you, yes you too, are just one bad day from joining us, and no perceptions of being a "temporarily embarrassed sane person" will save you from the oppression of the psychiatric institution.
