bombardier: That is a complete nonsense. By your definition a porn movie is no different than a traditional movie.
Only thing related with these two types of movies is the media. You use them in a completely different occasions.
Or maybe I am just some weirdo who doesn't like playing porn movies on family movie nights.
When you know you have a bad product just add sex. That usually solves the problem. You will have much easier time to find a sucker to pay for it.
A while back, there was this Russian band Tatu. No straight man can watch their music videos without getting a hard on. Band was insanely popular world wide despite that their music was utter garbage. Sex sells inferior products.
TheGrimLord: Have you seen shows lately? There's a lot of sexual content in regular shows that people watch and movies too. I really want to know your age, because you should like an old out of touch man who had no idea what in the hell he is talking about. Yes, we have had for a while now, traditional shows with sex scenes. Have you been under a rock? And some of those shows happened to do pretty damn well, I may add. The sex did not sell the inferior product. This is a bunch of nonsense from a goddamned puritan. You aren't making any sense for the modern era. Anime itself is heavily popular and full of sex and sexual innuendo. Same with manga and it is outselling American comics. All of them - DC, Marvel - All outsold by this "inferior product." You need to get some more experience on all of these subjects before you choose to challenge me.
richlind33: Based on the trailer it looks like glamorization of drugs, booze and casual sex. Real uplifting shit there, eh?
TheGrimLord: That's what goes on in the college experience. It's quite accurate and fun. It isn't supposed to be uplifting. Where do you people come from? It's a drama and themes of suicide, depression and such are part of it. That's what I mean by deep. Character interactions are much more than you expect as well. Very well written, but also has that American sex charm, I guess.
richlind33: It's crap *unless* it's developed into good form, but that costs money and cuts into profits.
TheGrimLord: That's also your opinion. I mean, it is a waste of time convincing two or three people that would never play these games anyway. I also don't know how old you are, your backgrounds and a lot of other things that are necessary to understanding why you hate adult games so much. This is background information I need to understand why you would come to that conclusion. Usually I can tell right by looking at someone if they're going to be into this type of thing. Some people have sticks up their asses and get really prickly over things like this. It could be religion, social status or a myriad of other reasons.
I think it's crap because the amount of effort that goes into most of what gets churned out is pretty negligible. I'm not bothered by sex and nudity at all, it's the fact that it's done because sex, real or implied, sells more product, and selling product is all that matters. Saying it's art is akin to saying a urinal is art. Yeah, it's subjective, but I'm definitely not one of those people that subscribes to the idiotic notion that everything is equal, if for no other reason than it is completely antithetical to diversity. Without diversity there wouldn't be any art. None at all. All we'd have is sameness.
