Lots of people (on both sides) struggle with this issue, I know - myself included - but I don't usually see it brought up in forums: the idea that content in a movie/game/song/book/whatever can get too explicit, and then the question of where to draw the line. I'd like to hear about other people's opinions on this, and feel free to post any stories if you have any. Personally, I don't draw much of a -moral- line - my parents, who didn't let me watch things like the old Star Wars (and give me a hard time about MLP) due to moral obligations, probably influenced that thought train a bit. I can make arguments against most of that stuff being "immoral" and probably win. On the other hand, though, I do think that too much exposure to strong violence/horrific imagery probably isn't a good influence on people. I also draw a bit of a "stupidity" line, I'd say - mostly stories that sacrifice plot for gore/sexuality (I'm not going to spend much time on examples, but think some of the later Saw movies, Rambo 4, God of War and the like). I'd actually consider myself as having a pretty major bloodlust, but I do feel like the standards for a good movie should be higher than just a camera and a bottle of ketchup.
