I'm thinking you missed my point. There's a point where the parents step in and say "hey, we don't use this kind of language because (reasons)." It's not the media's responsibility to parent.Originally Posted by SuperMillionaire

No one's died over swear words yet. It's largely irrelevant, really.

If they could so many people would've died watching South Park.
This reminds me of an interview that Paul McCartney gave in the late sixties. They asked him if he'd taken LSD and he said "yes". After the interview he said "If you are worried about how this revelation is going to influence the youth of today then don't show it. Don't air this."To some extent, partially, I think it should be.
What did they do? Over the front of every newspaper is how The Beatles were heathens and they are a horrendous example to the world's youth.
My point: The media will never shoulder responsibility. They will do what they can to make money by telling lies and the truth... Whichever is the most controversial
You're just setting yourself up for disappointment.To some extent, partially, I think it should be.I'm thinking you missed my point. There's a point where the parents step in and say "hey, we don't use this kind of language because (reasons)." It's not the media's responsibility to parent.
I never said that we should eliminate explicit music or any other form of media completely. There's a time and place for everything. I just think that it should be more "obscure."
Is that your final answer?
Let's all be super-repressive and push explicit material to the borders of society where it can't be regulated or monitored. What a brilliant plan.
While we're at it, why don't we body-shame and treat anything to do with the body and sexuality as somehow suspect? I'm sure that will help matters. That's what the British Victorians did, and that didn't distort the way they looked at sex at all.
Let's just go the whole hog and pretend that naked bodies and sex din't exist. That'll make us all much happier and better adjusted.

Look, I'm just teasing you really, Supermillionaire. I know that's not what you're saying. But it is where it can lead to.
Then why did you tease me in the first place? And why would it lead to that point? I don't think it would lead to that point. I never said that we should eliminate explicit material completely. I just think that it should be relegated.
To be honest, I actually think that they should allow AO-rated video games to be sold in stores. I never see any AO-rated games in stores. Like I've said before, I'm against outright banning anything, but I do believe in relegation.

I don't think there's any way to avoid the cycle, most child stars try to discard their kid-friendly image as fast as they can once they're old enough. It's their bodies and they can do what they want with them, it's parents job to make sure their kids are watching appropriate material their age.
There's a decent number of young teens that watch porn and go on adult websites and hook up with older people (which is illegal), I think that's more of an issue than some raunchy music videos.
In some cases it's better for their careers. If Alyssa Milano didn't get away from her good girl image after Whose The Boss went off the air her career would've been dead in the water then and there.
How is that a good thing?
Never claimed it was. Though in Alyssa's case she didn't get into anything bad. She managed to stay clear of all the things child stars tend to let spiral out of control. Most she did was nude scenes which IMO is harmless.
How is that a good thing?
Because then people can look at her more.
How is that a good thing?
