The disappearance of the sex scene in American cinema, the suppression of the body under the moral imperative of commodities in neoliberal capitalism, and Verhoeven as antagonizer.

Bro, you gotta stop reading shit like this. It's bad for your brain. Not everything is capitalistic plot to suppress your whatever.

Why wouldn't you be able to see it as "the viewers didn't enjoy our cringe sex scenes, so we got rid of them, cuz we sure as hell couldn't put real sex scenes into movies". And no, not because of purity. But because even good porn is cringe and fake.

So maybe it's really a decomcratic decision and it's only possible because through capitalism there's monetary pressure on the film industry to do the things people want.

Whichever it is, you gotta stop reading BS that starts with a conclusion in the first sentence, and no matter the subject it's the same conclusion: capitalism oppressing the working class. You'd make Lenin cringe.

Yeah, I'm not discussing the article further after checking your post history.

Just one little tidbit of information for you: The sentences at the start on a rather lenghty article, usually set in a different typeset, is called "synopsis". I know I know, I was like "wooaaah" when I learned that >30 years ago.
