I’m currently enjoying a series on Netflix called “Love, Death and Robots<\/a>“. It’s entirely weird at times and I love that. It fits me. (And hooray, there are new episodes in a new season!)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A few days ago I saw an episode called “Shape Shifters”. The rating for this episode:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yes, it had some scary stuff in it (spider) and there was fighting, killing and shooting (fighting hand), but I guess the 16 year age limit (probably American, I’m not sure if this applies to the Netherlands) was because of the ‘sexual content’ warning (four feet, I guess you know it).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now ‘Love, Death and Robots’ had a few episodes with definite sexual content, and for those I understand the warning. For ‘Shape shifters’ however, I was surprised about this warning after watching the episode.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I know the reason they put this thing there, but it is highly ‘overrated’ to label what I saw as sexual content.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Spoiler alert here, so if you don’t want to see what this is about, do not continue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Hooray and congrats for being brave. \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The scene with the ‘sexual content’ is a clip of about 30 seconds, maybe 40, of a naked man running. It’s dark \/ night, so you can’t actually see anything save his buttocks. There is a spot in that scene where you can see him frontal (about a second long) and still you need to freeze-frame through it if you want to get a glimpse of what might be a penis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I understand that Netflix is bound by law to protect people from not seeing what they are against, but I think that this one was entirely blown out of proportion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
