   I tried hard to listen to this zoomer explain Nightmare on Elm Street but his zoomer indignation at movie portrayals of sex was just insufferable

     @gonnefishin I cannot point at anything in society or education that has led to zoomers being so prudish and conformist

     @sun Why are zoomers so averse to them in films to begin with? I understand disliking sex scenes as a kid as much because I didn't when I was younger, but your palate is supposed to evolve with age, not devolve. I don't hate them anymore, and can usually point out why they are where they are instead of going "agh, so unnecessary bla bla bla"

     @gonnefishin @mischievoustomato it's a fundamental expression of humanity and thus doesn't even need further justification for being included in an artistic work than any other human expression.

     @mischievoustomato @sun They're included to convey intense passion or emotion. They're included to further a character's motivation or ideology. A ton of different reasons why a sex scene can be used as a plot device, it's never intended to be uncomfortable but the only reason I could see it being that way is if one hated sex to begin with.
     And for that I think there needs to be introspection on *why* one would hate sex.

     @sun @gonnefishin As a zoomer that watches movies (with mum) that sometimes have sex scenes in them (not what we go for, but some action movies have them), it's uncomfortable and feels odd. Even without mum it feels weird. Now, I don't mind stuff like fan service (shots that show a woman's body or light/sexy clothing).

     @why @gonnefishin @mischievoustomato I disagree, artful sex was perfected in 80s movies. The woman only takes off her top and it lasts five seconds.

     @gonnefishin @mischievoustomato @sun you are wrong.
     sex scenes cannot be written in an artful way. fucking is universally pornographic. you have a maximum of 5 seconds before it stops being artful.
     any important emotions and character development CAN and WILL be shown before or after the act of sex. and i say WILL because it DOES, your 10 minute bare ass fuck scene doesnt show anything besides "there was a sex".

     if you want your art to be raw portraits of raw humanity i recommend you go to a public park and follow people around until they call the cops on you

     @sun @gonnefishin @mischievoustomato youre agreeing with me. the sex is not shown, only enough information that "there was a sex". a subsequent sex scene would be pornographic and not important to any character development beyond what is shown in the foreplay or afterwards.

     @why @gonnefishin @mischievoustomato There is nothing more artful to my senses than seeing Florence Henderson taking a massive, straining shit.
