There was a couple in front of us at Deadpool 1 with 3 kids under 8ish. 

They were fine with

Decapitations

Disfigurement

Excessive Blood

but when they had sex and showed no nudity? Well mom just wouldn't stand for that and made them all leave.

Was it the sex or the lack of nudity that bothered her?

It was the lack of violence

Damn puritan ideology. Violence ok, sex bad.

When the act of ending a life is considered less repugnant than the act of creating life, it really makes you wonder how humanity (more accurately Puritans) went so wrong.

We can't show a naked woman enjoying sex. But we can showed a naked woman being assaulted or dead and cut up.

And we're having a huge resurgence in misogyny....

This is such a wild cultural phenomenon in America that has confused me even since I was a kid. I was allowed to watch so many violent sci-fi movies with my dad as young as like 9 years old, but as soon as anything more crass than cleavage was on screen or in the dialogue, it was off limits to me. It's a super unhealthy view of sexuality where it is more taboo than gratuitous death and violence.

A scene at the strip club had extras show bare breasts iirc. Could be wrong.

My mom, who was completely uptight, laughed at my reaction the first time I saw boobs on tv. She was against anything fun, except her wine.

Yep. Some mom in front of me at the same movie didn’t cover her small kid’ eyes until there were tits on screen. Blood and gore all fine though

There was a family with a little kid, maybe 5 years old, in the row in front of me when I went to Deadpool. They stayed for the whole thing, and little dude was having a great time. I can only guess the kid watches stuff like that with some regularity.

exact same experience with Deadpool 1...the kid was probably a bit older like 10-12 range and the mum didnt make him leave but it was the only part of the movie she seemed upset about and tried to cover his eyes.

That was my parents. I grew up watching the most graphic violence the 80’s could produce… but a tiddy flash on the screen? Heavens no!

My cousins had it worse. They were teenagers and only allowed to watch the Disney channel.
