We Need To Teach Gen Z About The Hays Code

with the growth of cultural conservatism worldwide, and the recent Oscar wins for 2024, it's led to some interesting discourse surrounding film, TV, and visual media in general. as in, it makes me want to tear my hair out sometimes. the amount of calls for censorship I've been seeing is concerning, especially when some people have ACTUALLY suggested bringing the Hays Code back as a solution, without knowing the racist/sexist/homophobic history behind it. listen Gen Z, I like you, I really do, and I understand where y'all are coming from at times. but you need to learn your history, and thankfully, yours truly went to film school and wants to educate you. join me and my film history b0ner as I dive into this phenomenon! ******************************************************** Since a lot of people asked, my pronouns are they/them (but if you say he or she I ain't mad) I've finally set up a Patreon!
