I have no desire to name any names, but over the past couple of days I've had a baffling and frustrating PM exchange with someone I thought I would be helping. I sent a link to Japanese area a site that aggregates links to direct downloads of Asian movies (never mind the legality and morality of that for a moment.) I got the never even dreamed of reply that the site had nudity (it didn't) and he would never look at it again.
Okay, so I thought maybe he had mistaken it for a site with direct-to-video porn-- it wasn't-- I pointed out that these are mainstream major theatrical releases. The reply back-- that the site included underage nudity, and he would never look at it again. He kept that stance of never looking at the site again even after I pointed out that the actress in the poster/movie was 20 or 21 at the time of filming-- factually correct or not, he's sticking with his initial moral outrage based on his incorrect jumped-conclusion that the actress was underage.
It would not for an instant have crossed my mind that someone would be utterly morally outraged by one mild movie poster out of a dozen or more displayed on the front page of the site, and I would never have for a moment hesitated to send the link to anyone and everyone (other than the copyright issue-- but for movies mostly not even released in Zone 1, and many or most with fansubs-- so even that is a "geographical restrictions" gray ares) without even having a passing thought that someone would be offended by it.
So, I ask-- who finds this movie poster offensive? So offensive that you would refuse to ever again visit a site that displays it?
