POLL: What is worse for children to be exposed to?
- Thread starter ElFenix
- Start date
Violent sexuality...such as last night's halftime "show".
Action movies are so overblown these days I cannot imagine a child being affected by it. If it's something more intense, such as, say, the movies The Silence of the Lambs or Se7en, there's no way my kids would watch it.
Anything that even remotely condones violent, sexual behavior over women or controlling behavior over women is definitely not something for kids to see.

Next time JT should remove her clothes carefully. 😕
Rape is a serious stretch.
I was brought up to not take what I saw on TV seriously. Last I checked, I'm still normal.
It's just one of those things that is never an absolute. There are so many shades in between the black and white that it's impossible to make a call on.
From a violence standpoint you have cartoonish stuff like Looney Tunes and The 3 Stooges. But then, you the other way around to stuff like American History X with a guy getting his face kicked into curb or horror movies with a fiend disembowling somebody complete with entrails being thrown about.
From a sexual standpoint, you can have something remotely light like eluding to sex - a man and women walking into a bedroom, the door shutting and the scene fading away. And then you can have full on hardcore sexuality that gives you a lesson in anatomy.
There is no absolute.
It's when either is shown in a context that doesn't counter the act with consequences about the decision that it is bad.

Results are the worst by far! 😉
As for the other two (and with no chance of 'religion' being added to the list) I'd say violence.

I imagine there could be detrimental effects if your kid was exposed to Fredryk Phox. Keep them away, far away!

I would rather my kids watch a mindless violent zombie movie about sexualy deviant prostitutes, over a movie that uses gratuitous harsh language. But I didn't see that in the poll.
For me, it's easier to explain away violence and sex in a movie, I can't do much for unwarrented foul language. Perfect example is Me, Myself and Irene with Jim Carrie.

Either can be bad, as many have said, based on the context. Sexuality is being used everywhere as a selling point - sexy women posing with cars, and even computer hardware now, as a means to attract potential buyers. Heck, you see pictures online of them at tech expos. I'm not entirely sure, but I doubt that they're there purely for their tech knowledge (which they may have a lot of, not saying they're dumb, just saying, that's not why they were employed.)
Violence can be damaging too - people violently assault others in some TV shows. But in the Three Stooges, getting hit repeatedly on the head with a hammer, or getting one's head smashed through a wall, was considered funny. And heck, there was gun violence in Looney Tunes cartoons. Daffy Duck got shot in the head at point-blank range with a shotgun several times. Hardly a despicable thing. 🙂
