Err... this is about as nuanced as blaming school shootings on violence in video games.

It completely ignores the gradual steps away from the institutionalized church among young people, the openness and acceptance of LGBTQA+ culture and the steps we've taken to normalize it, how we are trying (and I do mean trying, but not very well) to make talk of sex less taboo/dirty and push back against rape and patriarchal culture. (Often abounding in the conservative institutionalized church.) Thus the MeToo movement can actually make effective change. This is the positives about talking about sex, and abuse.

There is also the frog in boiling water effect, movies are also more violent than they used to be, slasher films more explicit. Remember Saw? That was pretty shocking. Now we have high profile shows like The Handmaid's Tale. We're also part of a global culture where the Japanese and Europe have HIGHLY different standards in their films/media that YOUNG people are consuming. The difference between American and European magazines alone could shock you.

Once you start raising the temperature, the only way to be able to elicit reactions is by spiking that temperature or jolting the frog with lightening. That's what shock moments like that one in Hancock are supposed to do, get a reaction from a jaded audience. That's how Hollywood makes money by creating talk/buzz. And there are great sites that let us take responsibility for what we watch like "Does the dog die?" and the like.

What goes in, comes out. You want to be less desensitized, don't watch that type of media. Curate what your kids watch. Those 80s and earlier cartoons/movies might not be as friendly as you remember.

Erm, yes but literally: we live in a society. It's not about curating what my kids are watching (they, just like everyone else should be able to digest whatever is available and I sure would hope my kids aren't shocked at anything the world may throw at them!) it's about a minimum amount of respect. In my humble opinion it shouldn't be "just normal" for kids or anyone to watch some kinds of messed up porn that can ruin even an adult's sex life not to mention the actors' minds y'know? We shouldn't be so okay with it. It's not about being a prude.

And this has literally nothing to do with the MeToo movement. We don't have to watch violent porn to understand sexual abuse isn't ok WTF.
