Because a whole generation of people including myself all accidentally watched Ninja Scroll with their mom. Collectively we decided to try to spare the rest of you any similar awkward embarrassment of abrupt graphic sexual content while you're just trying to watch a movie with your friends or family.
Part of why I hate visiting my parents is that they always have netflix on, and for some reason netflix shows love to jump-cut to graphic fuck scenes, so I'll be there with my elderly mom and dad, and suddenly the characters on TV are rimming each other really loudly or whatever. It's just uncomfortable, y'know?
yeah people want to watch movies and tv with their family. I don't miss sex scenes
I don't miss sex scenes, but I do miss romantic subplots. I think the latest generation of Hollywood reexamining all of the bad "romantic" tropes in movies fell short because while they did finally learn that damsels in distress and trophy characters were bad, they failed to come up with something to replace them with, and now every male-female dynamic in pop films is either a preestablished relationship or something seemingly completely platonic (and in some cases it's both, like in Iron Man where he has no sexual tension with his assistant outside of a couple snarky asides but then they apparently get married and have a daughter in between films).
