art censorship

a stupid thing!

Self-styled moralists are getting up in arms about something that has always been part of the literature of development. If you're a kid, you have to learn about violence, about hate, about death, about fear. That's part of becoming an adult. And if it's not fed to you by Eminem, you're going to get it from your own nightmares. The illusion that kids need to be protected from that is connected to a kind of fetishizing of innocence, which is unrealistic."We live in a society where we are taught to hide our true feelings and emotions. When I look back at the way I have been educated at school and and home, I now know how hypocritical it was. Teachers and parents tried to hide some reality.We were pictured a safe world with nice people. Religion ( particularly the way it was taught) increased that wrong impression.
Eminem’s work appears to be progressive for conservative people. But the same conservative people would also have rejected Baudelaire or any other controversial poet or writer centuries before. Conservatism is a form of intolerance in general.

I have felt insecure a great part of my life and I didn’t know how to act the right way with people, being too much afraid to speak my mind.
There is something I will probably never get: why are references to suicide so taboo in people’s mind? Many people also blamed Goethe for his work “Die Leiden des Jungen Werthers� (“The Sorrows of Young Werther�) because a lot of young people committed suicide after reading his book. Not Goethe is to blame, but rather those young people’s decision...but do we really need somebody to blame? Anybody has the right to end his life if he feels like his pain is unbearable.
MTV also censors notions that have to do with suicide.

The “Tatu� video “Not Gonna Get Us� was considered as shocking and would be censored not because it pictured two lesbian girls, but because they seem to commit suicide at the end of the video. I was very surprised to discover that the word “die� in the sentence “I'm so sick and tired of bein admired/ that I wish that I would just die or get fired » from Eminem’s song « The Way I Am ». How is that possible ? How could MTV censor a word like « die » as if death didn’t belong to our every day reality ?

They allow sentences such as « People killin’, people dyin’/Children hurt and you hear them cryin’» from sugar sweet songs such as « Where is the love ? » from Black Eyed Peas and they dare censoring « die » in « The Way I Am » video ? How far should we push hypocrisy ?

So many writers and poets such as François Villon in the 15th century in France have been considered as shocking for their use of vulgar language. Many people want to do as if vulgar and popular language didn’t exist (I’m sure the same people use it in their privacy as well). Popular and vulgar words are part of our culture too, there is no reason to ignore it.

Why should we censor notions such as suicide, murder and death that are present in the music when our kids already play violent games on their playstation and watch “Hannibal� and “Scary Movie� on Tv? A little bit of violence helps kids to get rid of their own agressivity and shouldn’t be viewed as necessarly dangerous and negative.

The best way to protect our kids is not to hide reality. The closer they are to reality, the better they are armed to face real battles in life.

Twice in recent years, I have been a victim of censorship.

I did not call for an uprising. I avoided to the hilt pornography. I screamed at senseless violence. Etc.

One thing I learned: what may be art to some may not be art to others. Then things can go real bloody from here.

yups. that's what we're here for. to help stop their ignorance( or i prefer, misunderstanding).

censorship is a butt-plug up one's a-s-s causing the sh1t to backflow and go into the brain...

who the h3ll are they to decide what we can and we can't have.
who gave them the right to assume that we are brainless zombies and are therefore not capable of deciding which is art and which is real life; which should and should not be done?

if they have experiences of life following art (in a bad way) either through a friend or a family member/s that doesn't mean the whole population will follow suit.
no, it doesn't.
it only means that they have stupid friends or that *****s run amuck in their gene pool!

why should we be punished because these repressed moralists/hypocrites family tree is rotten?

we are already in the 21st century.

we have come a long way.

we don't need another hitler!

pero in terms of the nude body ba. how do you determine if its art or pornography. kay saona naamay mga statua nga nude. i think one of the factor to be considered if its an art kanang state sa sexual organ siguro. kong arouse pornography kong dili it is classified as art.


pero in terms of video games I think that it will promote violence cause realistic man kaayo ang mga moves but without the pain. videogames will make them aggresive but in reality they will soon find out that once you get crack in the face your not gonna be able to make that next move. in my opinion it should not be banned we have the right to chose, we want to enjoy what is coming ahead in our life and its consequenses.

[pazuzu690]

and it is part of our right to make our own mistakes and learn from it or forget it happened and make the same mistake again...

unless we ask them to stop us because we are so incapable of deciding which is which, they should just back the fvck off!

i agree kids do have the right to know what is really going in the real world. but kids are kids! aside from the fact that they all think differently... there is a certain level where kids can grasp things, informations, situations... that's why the media go easy on some things to prevent misinterpretation. some of the things i watched when i was i kid didnt even mean anything to me until i watched it again now. hehehe
