At the rate things are going, I think any male/female relationship is going to be banned from film, TV, etc. Yes. That is absolutely what is going to happen, and a perfectly reasonable conclusion to reach. Why, by the end of this week, every single bit of media focused around male/female romances will vanish from your screens forever. That'll leave us with, what... 0.1% of all films ever made left? I know we're being sarcastic, but sadly...I wouldn't be surprised.

Any movie or tv show where a "hero" character smokes. The only exceptions being Jigen from Lupin III (and that characters been around since the late 60s/early 70s, so he can probably get away with it via grandfather clause) and Sanji from One Piece. Even watching Days of Future Past the other day, it surprised me they showed Logan taking a few drags out of a cigar still. That's the main role of cigarettes now, to show "the past".

I actually read an article about Baby, It’s Cold Outside around Christmas and it made me temporarily look at it a different way.
First. It could be considered an advert for empowerment. The first person (normally considered to be the man) is trying desperately to get the other person (normally considered to be a woman) to stay. The second person refuses to budge despite all the requests (and drink spiking) otherwise. In this case, no meant no.
Second (I’ll be honest here as I’ve never seen the film). In the film it’s originally featured in, Neptune’s Daughter, the second person is actually being deliberately coy and really does want to stay but justifies it to herself by making it his idea to do so.
I’m not saying it isn’t a really dodgy song, nor do I necessarily agree with it but it’s a fair point. Regardless, there really isn’t much of a defence for spiking the drink either way.

That was supposed to be inappropriate though. That character is a satire of method actors who who overboard prepping a for a role.

I wonder how the Carol storyline in Friends would be interpreted today. The character herself was alright but the "LOL, Ross married a lesbian" punchline wouldn't wash now.

“Fat” by Weird Al probably wouldn’t make the cut today.

Friends did a lot of gay jokes involving the guys, and cross dressing jokes involving Chandlers dad...I just saw an article yesterday stating younger millennials watching friends for the first time find it sexist, homophobic and racist...So, that's a thing, I guess.

As much as I love them, the UK had a popular series of comedy films during the 60s and 70s with the title "carry on...", these films features lots of rather dodgy situations and so many double entendres, and plenty of naughtiness with women that would not be acceptable in this day and age, I find them harmless fun but I think not a chance would they get over these days. In carry on nurse there's a scene were Terry Scott is basically trying to rape Barbara Windsor... Or was it Kenneth Cope when he was dressed as a nurse? Can't remember actually. Still a bit rapey

The fact that "All That" had rap acts and R&B acts performing on that show. It was cool when I was a kid because I was a hip-hop head during that time, but really, a lot of those artists had done songs that weren't appropriate for children. Some R&B songs from those days had sexual content in them, too. Hell, the song "He's Mine" from Mokenstef, an R&B group from the 1990's, was not appropriate for kids as it talked about infidelity and made some sexual references in that song.

I was upset by Tropic Thunder because I thought it sucked.
Anyhow, Rod Hull and similar acts where the puppet became a thinly veiled excuse to grope people.

There's an episode of Saved By The Bell where the guys secretly take pictures of the girls in their swimsuits and sell calendars of them. The fact that they were basically peeping toms and they were selling pics of girls that were supposed to be underage at the time, is all kinds of weird and creepy. But at the time it was funny and everyone was like "Oh that mischievous Zack Morris..." Zack Morris is a freaking supervillain.
