I mean, it always has been. For example, the government (in some form) has regulated entertainment ever since before the Romans were feeding Christians to the lions. Or, in the US more recently, pre-code moves from the early 1930s would really open your eyes about American culture before the pearl-clutchers deciding we needed to be protected. Then there is the House Un-American Activities committee which went after the movie industry in the 1950s. Also, waves hand generally at China's influence on Marvel and how they edit out things that might hurt their people's sensibilities.

The same people who want trigger warnings on early James Bond movies, are just fine with kids at drag shows, or sexually graphic books at schools.

I miss the time when the intention of film makers was to entertain the audience.

When Peter Dinklage said Snow White is “fucking backwards” because the dwarfs “live in a cave,” Disney should have had the balls to defend their intellectual property by simply reminding him that they do NOT live in a cave. They live in a lovely little German-style cottage. Problem solved. Instead they instantly caved, and look where it’s gotten them.

Growing up in the 90s, I remember in high school they made us read The Handmaid's Tale. After we were done with that lesson we were "rewarded" with watching the movie. This was in grade 10, and no, there was not trigger warning or a choice. I do not recommend this movie to anyone who needs a trigger warning.

The video was amazing and very well put together, as usual. The topic of cultural juveniles running the show in the entertainment industry is spot on. It's ironic that classics like James Bond come with trigger warnings, while the actual offensive content like Salo goes unremarked. It's a bizarre twist of priorities, and it feels like we're living in a real-life Orwellian script from 1984, where everything is upside down. The situation with Doctor Who just highlights how far things have strayed from entertainment to indoctrination. It's more about ticking off boxes on the woke checklist than actually creating something enjoyable. It's sad that creative freedom is shackled by the chains of political correctness to this extent. Let's hope for a return to genuine storytelling and entertainment without the heavy-handed moral preaching!

I find this quite curios. I recently bought the BFI’s 4k release of Get Carter. Extraordinary film. Caine brutalises everyone in this film, male and female alike. No trigger warnings on that release. James Bond gets one from the BFI. Very strange.

Doctor vs Master were always great episodes. I had no idea James Dreyfuss got cancelled for refusing to cancel JK Rowling. What is it about "Dreyfuss"s that makes them think for themselves? Richard Dreyfuss is kind of the same way. He was insufferably bleeding-heart leftist in his youth, and now he's a true, classical liberal, near as I can tell.
