Taken aback shocked by TV series.

Would this thread even have been started if it was a man and a woman, or two women?

Very much doubtful or potentially the following

A) man and woman going at it no thread at all

B) 2 women going at it, some sort of thread full of bravado and a :love: somewhere in the post.

Sadly not everyone is moving forward and accepting that it doesn't matter the gender or whose going at it with who. Instead some still stuck with seeing it as wrong and it's those attitudes that cause so much of the problems.. Personally let people be who they want and sleep with who they want and younger generations will be more accepting of it and won't bat an eye lid at it and threads like this will become less and less common

I think a lot can also depend on the demographic of the audience too.

Most of us probably have or had a granddad that would say things that nowadays would be shockingly racist, yet they grew up with mainstream TV saying it was funny.

The same for sexuality. I can recall the first lesbian kiss on brookside, there was onety of outrage then, so the notion that people have always been cool with that and against homosexuality only is false imo

Statistically speaking I would hazard a guess that homophobia is now most present in older generations (again, grew up with it being believed to be wrong) or strict relegious groups.

Then there are a lot that will say that they accept it, support it but don't want to see it. For me that's not an outrageous opinion for people to have. Sexual images be they staright, gay, bdsm or anything else will have an effect on an audience. I don't think we should be able to tell people they have to see it and by default be happy with it.

I do totally agree that this thread wouldn't have started for option a or b though.
 
Disappointing to read this. I like DS but this will mean that it now will get banned in our house. And before you question...same applies for lesbians and excessive swearing.

I disagree, as a granddad I mix with people of my own age and rarely do I hear "shockingly racist" things said as most of us are probably more tolerant as we get older. Yes, we did see racism on TV as we did everywhere but are wise enough not to be racist or homophobic etc either because we know it's not right or that we just dont want to be seen to be racist etc. Also, it's easy to tell people what they can and cant say but you'll never know what they are thinking - young or old!

You're not the age of my granddad!!
Unless you're closer to 85 than you look......
 
If it was on terrestrial TV they normally warn that it contains 'scenes of a sexual nature' don't they? But I have no idea if there's anything governing that on streaming channels like Netflix. I'd have thought there be a text warning in the description or something.

Ultimately if you don't want to watch sex scenes you can just turn away or fast forward through them, I don't really see the need to get offended by it.

Would you have made a thread if it was a heterosexual couple?

Yes if it had appeared in a family program where i wasn't expecting to see something like that..
I'm no prude or easily shocked, i have gay friends, nephews and nieces and a transgender grandchild, but this came out of the blue, i didn't even see it coming :ROFLMAO:.

Funnily enough, just finished the latest season of DS.

IMO, it wasn't as shocking as its made out to be. I'm surprised anyone is shocked anymore in the age of the internet.
 
2 people having sex on a TV programs has surprised some viewers. I am stunned. I've seen sexual scened on programs for years
