Most mainstream action flicks depict murder. There's a distinction with say, a snuff film. I think most people would consider it an important one.uncle-ellis said:
You are not required to empathise with or like the man, but you might want to consider the larger scope of the system at work, when we are increasingly moving towards a situation where people can be prosecuted and criminalised simply because "we don't like them and their sexual preferences".uncle-ellis said:
Are you really ok with people who are not harming others being sent to prison because what you read about their hobbies makes you feel uncomfortable? Should a society only tolerate the people you like? And even if you would say yes to that horrid notion, do you really think that society will forever keep adhering to your particular ideas on which personality traits are desirable and which are deplorable (and therefore criminal?)
There's a poem by Martin Niemoller that goes like this:
First they came for the communists, and I did not speak out - because I was not a communist;
Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out - because I was not a trade unionist;
Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out - because I was not a Jew;
Then they came for me - and there was no one left to speak out for me.
