Movies are about escape for many people.
I think people should be able to make art including movies to express what they want to express in the way they want to express it. But I should have the ability to learn about and avoid things that I don’t want to see. We don’t know what’s in peoples heads, and it’s important to give people control.
This happened in a professional context - a well produced video about domestic violence that included a well produced example of controlling behavior and a form of abuse. It was very unpleasant for many people, including victims of violence, and in response the company gave folks an opportunity to review a transcript and opt out of watching.
