I agree with Beet in that it’s important for people to have an uncensored forum in which to explore challenging issues. Of course it’s offensive. And no don’t blame movies (or TV or video games) for putting violence in the “collective consciousness.” There’s more than enough already there (e.g. the U.S. has been at war for over 5 years!)

You know, this whole attitude of “it’s okay to show violence to one group but not another” is more than slightly whacked. It’s bad, period. And if just one copycat does this in real life because they saw a clip out there, that’s one too many.

Movies showing violence against anyone puts it out there in the collective consciousness and in doing so, opens the path for more violence to happen. We deplore abuse to dogs on the big screen, does that mean we should see an equal amount of abuse of cats? That way of thinking is just not sound.

The first clip was really dangerous. And no, Mercy, there is not one single thing that is awesome or interesting or gratifying in watching the abuse of anyone or anything.

And Beet, I love your guts, but in some very real way….there is no such thing as ‘fiction’. It matters what we see, it matters what we laugh about, it matters what we promote….

I know I am ranting a bit here, but I just feel very strongly about this issue and the pain of that first clip has stayed with me.

Beet, have you watched “Hard Candy”? It seems up your alley.

Everyone else: There are movies on top of movies on top of movies that show women being beaten, raped, and mutilated. There are, like, two movies now that “show” a woman cutting a man’s funbags off. Let it go. Plus, it’s kind of awesome. ADMIT IT.

Thank god.

If the video was as Beet describes I wonder how many women would be okay with a “fictional” movie showing a man hacking off a woman’s breasts or cutting out her ovaries.

Something tells me they wouldn’t watch it and say “cool”.
