EXACTLY how i would put this into words . :wub:Lynda: Good job on the explanation! I totally agree with your assessment. "We" the audience are in it only for the entertainment value, it is a good way to escape from our everyday lives--that's why I watch thai lakorns. I know it's not real and it gives me an oppourtunity to live in a fantasy world. Yes, R scenes shouldn't happen in real life and they are WRONG but in TV shows, especially thai lakorns, the audience at times craves this type of interaction.
and that is why i can't stand those revolving soap .. everyone's taking on the whole town fill of men. it's disgusting when the whole town mess with one another's wife.Your right, I remember watching some early 80 made for tv movies that had similar rape scenes played out in America. It only stopped being shown as part of entertainment when a lot of US feminist complained about it. Also, I remember my mom telling me a lot of women who had been raped in real life took offence to rape being displayed in TV shows as normal. Many of them protested in the early 70's and 80's over sexist images of women. Now, today women on US television shows are being displayed as either overly manly or just plain trashy. There really is no middle ground in the U.S. anymore for women displayed on TV.
U.S. television is becoming very boring -_-
