    I’m just discussing preferences and advocating for better stories, I’m not saying we should ban anything. I think a lot of GoT fans pretty frequently bemoan the fact that the episode one incest and rape lost a lot of potential viewers. Maybe I’m wrong, though, maybe GoT wouldn’t even have a following if it weren’t for the fucking.

    I definitely understand why office worker A would have reservations, though I don’t agree with where he draws the line.

      But I will add that you’re getting downvoted because you appeared to be doing something worse.

      A lot of bigots I knew say something hateful, and if they get away with it, they keep it going. If they get called out, they’ll pivot to say “oh, I didn’t mean it like that bro, I just don’t like sex scenes in stuff.”

      I see this all the time in conservative media. They’ll obsess with some ancillary thing for plausible deniability, but the implication to anyone with half a brain is the simpler bigotry.

      So that’s kinda what your original comment came off as, to me. It’s quite valid to argue “well, I don’t like gratuitous sex scenes in movies,” but it sounds like the way conservative influencers or an IRL jerks imply “I don’t like gays.”
