Youtube is a shit fuck. I use it, but between monitizing and all the muck it's lame.
Yep, our constitution is not even as effective as toilet paper.bitley wrote: ↑19 Nov 2019I actually wonder what will happen to very old releases from Disney, Hollywood and so forth. The way we are being re-educated now sadly makes a lot of that material look as if it might be edited or even forbidden. Creators never had to drive with tripple seatbelts and helmet before. USA begins to look like a real dictatorship with these so called ideas.

When 'protection' becomes a prison...people need to rethink the reality of the situation. But, they don't. Because:bitley wrote: ↑19 Nov 2019I just reflected on this as nearly everything I ever saw from the early 1900s from Chaplin, Disney and more includes slapping children, slapping each other, escaping from the police and other (wonderful moments of satire) terrible scenes.
All of the films about bakery and cooking will be banned too as they contain too much wheat and sugar...
I have no idea what that is?bxbrkrz wrote: ↑19 Nov 2019Do you have a Youtube Red account?reggie1979 wrote: ↑18 Nov 2019Can I just say that I don't understand this at all?

I understand.

It scares me because I personally grew up on Tintin and Asterix comic books, later Stephen King books, black and white movies with The Little Rascals, Charlie Chaplin etc; all of this content can be viewed in many aspects and indeed, not all of it is suitable for very young children. It should of course be easy to set all videos containing scenes from "It", "The Shining" etc to only be viewable for an adult audience but where does Tintin and Asterix end up (judged by FTC rules) with all of their adventures? Those contain, as most of us know, just about everything from joyful events to fights and even condescending and patronizing satire regarding nationality and culture – and at the same time, isn't it just innocent jokes? I don't know if I should re-educate myself to consider this as something not suitable but at the same time I feel pity for upcoming generations if they will never see comics like the scene where Tintin's car is stuck on the train track – and it gets hit by a train in Africa. The car isn't damaged but the train tracks out. The train passengers all go: "Bad white man! You broke our fine train". When I was nine I could laugh myself to tears – I still remember the whole thing as extremely funny – but it's just a magazine and I didn't grow up to become a racist of any kind.
(As I think about it more closely I simply took it as Africa at the time had pretty light "toylike trains" compared to the ultra heavy duty trains we had here and in France, where Tintin was written; it didn't strike me as racism; of course I have no idea if the trains in Africa at the time – it takes place in the 1920s / 1930s or so – were small, unreliable and lightweight...)
In my school library here in Sweden they had both Asterix and Tintin. They also had comic books that you may not have abroad – would be cool to know – Johan Wild's adventures. The librarian himself often pointed towards those books when we asked for suggestions on what to read, saying that they could teach us a bit about history as well. In 1985 nobody would disagree with that but today it seems as if we must re-evaluate this completely? And then I go like OK, but how will you have success with presenting truly entertaining stories and movies for kids, then? And where do we put the adventures of Lucky Luke? Super adult content for ages 73 and up? Mesmerizing.
And while I'm at it – movies then? One of my all time favourites is Back To The Future – and there is shooting and killing there as well, but we were allowed to see it and we didn't mind about the "scary" scenes in it – as it was a part of the whole story: if I was asked to say "what" the film is, in one sentence – I'd say it's super funny. The violence in it isn't the whole story but it gives a foundation and depth, I guess, for the story to build on, which makes it adventurous and exciting. But correct me if I am totally wrong!
The whole thing is mazy for me.
