Why are mainstream movies so sexless and bloodless?
Like they're okay making jokes about sex and having a fade-to-black "sex scene" but even R-rated movies skirt around it and only really give an ass-shot at most. In the same way that violence is handled in such a sterile manner. You can show hundreds of people getting slaughtered en mass by protagonists, but only if they don't bleed and remain faceless goons, but show them bloody and battered and screaming in pain and suddenly it's "too violent".
Is it reflective of a sort of softening of those concepts in society as a whole or is it one of those trends that'll be reversed in the next decade or so?
