Why does there have to be so much moral absolutism out there? [View All]

[Locut0s]

Recently I've gotten hooked on a TV series, smallville, and was keen to go online and see what others had to say about it. So I logged into one of the more popular discussion boards for the show and stared reading posts. To my disappointment a great many of the posts were from people disappointed at sexual references in episodes, people having sex before marriage, etc etc.. many of these posts were from moral extremists who just couldn't stand to see good upright characters break the prudish morals of "good old Christian middle America".

Now granted one should probably expect this kind of thing from the audience of smallville, given the squeaky clean ultra moralistic character superman is supposed to be but it's a trend I see all over the place and one I'm getting sick of. It wold be nice to have a genuine talk about your favourite TV show without some 15 year old screaming about the immorality of such and such a character or scene and having 1/2 the people responding in agreement.

Yeah this is a strange sounding post, sorry.
