Who's to say, however, that something like this won't help prevent it from actually happening.

Prevent it from happening?

hey, it's called awareness of an issue.


You probably don't talk to your child about drugs or smoking.

When you have to expose your young children to the subject of rape....it's called a deteriorating society.

Agreed.


But I would rather a movie expose my child then some sweaty fugger in a dark alley.

IMO, A child doesn't need exposed to it at all.

That sums up the winning argument in this thread perfectly. Whatever the message of the scene is I cant argue with. Though you hit it there with the limits of reasonableness. Ill say it again and also stealing from TKs post a while back, the same can be done without showing a naked 12 yr old.

Yes, of course the message could be sent without having her naked. But that doesn't mean that having her naked is bad or wrong.

Obviously, the "rape is bad" message could be gotten across by a character just saying "rape is bad." Actually, we don't even have to make a movie, we can just print a bunch of leaflets that say "rape is bad" and pass them around...

Perhaps you should inform your children yourself, rather than depending on Hollywood.

From personal experience, I know that there are, quite simply, some evil motherfuckers in this world. I've struggled with teaching my children that painful truth. But, how ever I do it, it will be from ME, THEIR FATHER, that tells them, not a moving picture on a screen.

That is one of the tenets that parents uphold, IMO. And that is why I repulsed that a PARENT would allow their CHILD (not adult) to do this.

I had two meth houses down the street and a child molester that got hauled off to jail on TV. My kids walk by those houses from their bus stop. I have a very open and honest relationship with them-believe me, they hear about how the world really is.
