This is a Dengist community in favor of Bashar al-Assad with no information that can lead to the arrest of Hillary Clinton, our fellow liberal and queen. This community is not ironic. We are Marxists-Leninists.

American media is disgustingly decadent; always publicly discussing about genitalia, sex, drugs and other yuck without a hint of shame.

Huh? American TV is very Christian - sex and drugs are usually only brought up when they're being used to teach the audience a lesson about how they're sinful. It's rare when they're mentioned in another context and even more rare when they're discussed without euphemism.

I think they mean hollywood movies

But how? Most nudity, sex, and drugs are used artistically, metaphorically, or for historical purposes, just blatant sex and drugs is still crude and distasteful, no one has lined up to see movies like that since the early 2000’s, and even then those were usually campy bad movies anyways.

Like thinking about Oppenheimer and it’s “sex scene”, what’s so special about it? It showed he had an affair with a woman, and then you see her boob for 4 seconds. The utter horror.

That’s hardly “shameful” or “crass”.

Thanks for acknowledging the name I guess. I was genuinely curious about the topic, I’m sorry if it was a bit aggressive.

You would absolutely hate Ancient Greece.
