I'm not saying that PC culture out right controls everything, but I've definitely noticed a PC undertone during the last several years.
Django imo is a bad example, because the lead character (A strong black man) is the Hero of the movie.
GOT is a fantasy unlike a real life scenario like the movie in the OP. I also don't recall GOT being all that rapey.
IMO TV shows are not way worse. Haven't you noticed the trend that white people are either painted as being weak or are a villainous character; and the Heroes are portrayed by a woman or a minority? Westworld (which is still a bad ass show) does this.
I think people turn things into a "PC culture" situation pretty often when it's unwarranted. Sometimes it seems like the anti-PC people are as bad as the super PC people.
For example, if there is a female hero, people call it PC. They say this as if it's somehow not okay to simply have a female hero in a show or movie. Why does it have to be an issue at all? Like with West World. I never had the thoughts you just expressed when I watched it. I did not find myself thinking, "Man, they are trying to be PC!" Just enjoy the show man.
Well, that's a fine line with the show. That was an arranged marriage, and Drogo was just claiming his right to consummate the marriage. She did grow to love him as well. It was the same thing with Sansa too, only her husband was the main villain of the show, and people had been watching the actress since she was a child, so people got a bit touchy over it.
But no, it's not rape city on GOT. Lots of violence towards women, but not a whole lot of rape.
As far as the incest goes, nobody really cares about that. It's consensual on the show, and it's not exactly a touchy subject for the SJW brigade.
Offensive, sure, but not in any real controversial area.
Not that I am arguing that shows are getting toned down, or have more boundaries. I just don't think your examples prove much. If anything, I think movies and TV shows have pushed the envelope further than they've ever been pushed. I mean shit, South Park is still going strong, and they cross every line there is.
Honestly, having a woman get forced into a marriage and then raped on screen, but then fall in love with her rapist is even more offensive than just depicting the rape. That plays directly into old school sexism to have the raped woman fall in love with the rapist, and is the exact type of thing you would think "PC culture" would reject. But they don't reject it, that show is the most popular show on HBO.
But anyways, I agree about South Park, it is widely celebrated for satirizing racism, sexism, Muslims, Christians, and everything else. People are not offended, it's hugely popular and even a staple of our culture now.
I guess I just don't see the PC-intrusion in movies and TV the way other people claim to. I'm a movie watcher, I've seen hundreds of movies from all decades. I think movies are crazier now than they have ever been by quite a lot.
I do think that people look for Twitter posts from Liberals, then try to act like the nation is being overtaken by them or something. It's weird to me. Could you imagine the threads we could start if we just trolled Twitter for super conservative people saying insane things?
Hell, our own conservative posters here say insane things. It is actually so normalized for conservative posters to be crazy that people don't even notice it anymore. They are held to a different standard of crazy.
I think everyone needs to just relax, get off Twitter, and live in the real world. The real world is not as crazy as Twitter makes it seem. I live in Maryland, very liberal state, and EVERYBODY on my street puts up Christmas lights and yard decorations and says Merry Christmas and all my friends watch offensive shows and movies, etc.
A lot of the "OMG PC LIBERALS!" outrage is based on
massive exaggerations.
