I just meant you can shoot someone in the head and it’s PG-13, but show a penis for one second and it’s NC-17.
You can simulate shooting someone in the head. It isn’t real. The penis is.
Not saying I agree with the ratings boards, but I don’t like the idea that simulated violence = the real thing.jedit- THE PENIS IS REAL! NEVER FORGET!
Watchmen is R for (among other things) nudity, yet much of the nudity is CGI.
So thought experiment: If everyone in nude scenes wore bodysuits but highly realistic CGI made them appear fully nude, would the rating remain the same?
