Should just put up a disclaimer stating 'This film is not for pussified attitudes'.
There are a lot of unnecessary gay jokes in those movies, so I'd say describing them as having outdated attitudes is very much on pointim in disbelief
im watching Beverly Hills Cop marathon on Paramount and this was said. I watch movies all the time ive never seen this disclaimer.
have we really got to this point where we need to pre apologize for language in 80s and 90s R rated movies

After seeing “Baby it’s cold outside” get canceled, it’s easy to see why they do such a disclaimer. It’s the prudent thing to do.
The problem is bored Tweeters will take what’s the equivalent of a Coli joke thread level material and trump it up to be some huge deal and actually try to “cancel” the past.

Tarantino movies are even worse if anything, he has his own character say the N word in at least two of them.
Imagine being mad about this
There is so much racist shyt from the 80s and before that got to just float through in shyt
I literally seen an episode of Golden Girls where them hoes were making slavery jokes n shyt
You know how many Black face scenes were in TV n movies in the fukking 80s

Exactly, but shouldn't that just go without saying, and be understood by everyone watching?
I don't understand why people don't just understand and accept that people (and therefore art) are products of their environment based on the time they existed. It seems so obvious as to sound stupid when you say it, and yet you really do have to say this to people now days. What was once progressive or forward-thinking for its time might seem behind-the-times now. But that's how life works.I mean, it's definitely dumb as fukk but I told my cousins to watch the Godfather and these bytchass niccaz called me up like "man did you hear what they said about black people? Is there gonna be more of this?".
Soft asses got pulled completely out of the movie because of one sentence spoken by a mobster.
This is for those generations who need to be reminded at every turn that everything is ok and that art cannot physically harm them. A lot of them need the critical thinking to be done for them, or at least they need someone (in this case movie studios) to hold their hands a little bit.
And my cousins definitely think they're on some next level woke shyt
I mean, Obama was against gay marriage when he ran for president, and that was barely a decade ago. It would be unthinkable for any politician in 2021 to run for President while being openly anti gay marriage. I don't understand the need to overtly point out that "things were different at this time" before every piece of media that existed before the 2010's. I mean when you look up a movie, it says what year it came out.

Say what now?
How can a prominent historical figure be canceled from a history book?
Like, I've read that millions of people (I've read as much as 1 in 200) are relatives of Ghengis Khan. (Edit: Yeah, and apparently 16 million men in Central Asia).I'm all for removing statues of confederate generals, but removing words on a page about a man that lived in the 13th century?
Exactly. People will say that there's fear-mongering around protecting the 1st amendment, and maybe there is. But if there's anything worth leaning on the side of over-protection on, it's the 1st amendment.
Stuff like this really is a slippery slope towards censorship, and once we get to that point, it's not easy to turn back.
This right here. This gives me some hope. Whenever people seem outraged over something, I always hope that it's really just a couple hundred people on Twitter, tops, and that most people don't actually think that way. But it's scary that the platform allows for their voices to be so loud.

Unnecessary now or unnecessary then ? Questioning someones man hood was a very real thing in the 80s and 90s. That happened. You cant erase that.There are a lot of unnecessary gay jokes in those movies, so I'd say describing them as having outdated attitudes is very much on point
It's still an outdated attitude
