If you believe this, then you're part of the problem.

I dont have autism, what is your problem exactly?

But it was true. Also I've always thought that the R and NC-17 ratings were the wrong way round, not the descriptions but just the rating name. Also having an XXX rating couldn't hurt.
>no one even knows what an UNOFFICIAL organization called MPAA is
>everyone respect their unofficial law

Don't be silly, Anon. It's just money. The studios pay for the MPAA, and they get whatever rating they want. Sure, they might have to play a little game of "cut out one second from that scene" or "if the blood doesn't spurt out like that", but they can get where they need to go.
If you're just looking at content, then Titanic should get an R-rating. Kate Winslets boobs, a steamy sex scene in a car, cursing, people get electrocuted, hit with bullets showing blood, dead bodies floating all over the place, but it's just PG-13. Meanwhile, the King's Speech is rated R. Clerks was NC-17 originally.
The big studios pay for the MPAA, and they've gotten loads of theatre chains and such on board with refusing to carry NC-17 movies. Coincidentally, independent movies get blasted with the NC-17 rating, and they don't have the relationship to effectively argue, so they get smothered.

This is so fucking silly.
MPAA is also highly christian so newfags will defend it.

It's pretty rough. It made sense in the beginning, because if the studios didn't self-regulate the government was going to start doing it. The chains got taken off by the 70s, and for a while even an X rating wasn't so bad. Nowadays, the studios basically run the MPAA, and in that Kirby guy's movie about the MPAA, the closest thing to an establishment Hollywood guy complaining about it is Matt Stone, who really doesn't count.
It wouldn't be so bad if there weren't so much money at stake. The earning potential for a movie is radically different if it's PG-13, R, or NC-17, so studios ask the MPAA for guidance, and then they get detailed notes, and when you get that close to the difference between ratings, it's just completely ridiculous. Requiem For a Dream was NC-17, but if they snipped a little bit of nudity out of the ass-to-ass scene, it's down to R.
But really, just compare the Matrix to all the PG-13 movies, and genuinely try to figure out why it was rated R for "sci-fi violence and brief language".

Faggots LITERALLY only give R's to boobs and 2 fucks now
Terminator 2 would probably be pg-13 if not for the fuck drops
>>82418772
Why do you need to see nipples?
