>Britain is so cucked, even in the 1980s, they called horror movies "video nasties"lmao every day i learn some new embarrassing thing about this countrylike not even shit like guinea pig, they genuinely thought possessing VHS of Evil Dead, Pet Sematary, Child's Play, Dawn of the Dead was a crime.They were literally so terrified of tame r-rated horror movies they petitioned to have them banned, imagine being british lol
>WE MUST BAN THESE SICK VIDEOS and it's fucking Dolls 1987
>>222355196Horror movies are the exclusive domain of maladjusted, socially undesirable people
It's not a coincidence that when a bunch of brits left and founded a new country that the british empire fell and a new global empire from the new country was establishedguess who's left in britain
>>222355244are you talking about australia, because the british empire existed for 200 years after 1776
>british people shit themselves in fear at evil dead 2how is this a thing that actually happened lmao what an unserious country
it freaked me out when I found out that New Zealand still has a "chief censor's office" whose job it is to decide how long you should get in prison if you view illegal text such as mass shooter manifestos
i want a free mince pie..
>>222355196Shitskin retard, you realise this is a tongue-in-cheek term to refer to horror? Not a real terrible term? No matter which country you're from (India, Pakistan, Bangladesh) your people are more censorship obsessed than we are even today. Retard.
>>222355196no free mince pie for OP lads
>>222355291what the heck is that thing next to ban video
>>222355290>what is a decline

>>222355196two kids murdered a toddler mimicing that film you retarded fuckup
>>222355992The link between "Chuckie" (Chucky), child murder, and Liverpool kids refers to the widespread 1993 media moral panic claiming the horror movie Child's Play 3 inspired the murder of two-year-old toddler James Bulger.James Bulger was abducted from a shopping center in Bootle, Merseyside (near Liverpool) and brutally killed by two 10-year-old boys, Robert Thompson and Jon Venablesthus the newspaper
>>222356025>>222355992Meanwhile, Robert Thompson and Jon Venables led the toddler far away from the mall and toward another town. Though many people on the streets believed that the three boys were siblings, others were concerned about Thompson and Venables’ aggressive behavior toward Bulger.Some witnesses later reported that the older boys roughed up Bulger in plain sight, kicking, punching, and shaking him. While some adults stopped to ask the children a few questions, they all let the boys go on their way, apparently believing that Bulger was either being taken home or to the police station. Many of them would later express regret for not doing anything.Thompson and Venables eventually arrived near a railway track in Walton. There, they splashed stolen blue paint into Bulger’s eyes. They then bludgeoned him with bricks and stones, kicked his battered body, and shoved batteries into his mouth. Finally, they hit Bulger over the head with a 22-pound iron bar. That blow alone caused 10 skull fractures.
>>222356061Recent Parole Reviews: His last freedom bid was blocked by the UK Parole Board in December 2023 after officials ruled he remained a danger to children. Additional parole hearings and reviews have continued to be processed following referrals.Previous Offenses and Recalls: After serving his initial sentence for the 1993 murder of James Bulger, he was released on license, but was sent back to prison in 2010 and again in 2017 after being caught with indecent images of children on his computers.
the british media are utter cunts and will exploit any situation to get people to buy newspapers. "VIDEO NASTY" scared people and sold newspapers for a few months after a kid was murdered. they create a story to terrorise folk, then sell you the answers in a newspaper. nothing has changed, just now it's global terrorism and divisive politics
>>222356379The Sun is a joke. it had naked women on page 3. that's how low they were willing to go
>>222356379the 'royals' deserve everything they get

>>222358044pornos and porn actresses have won multitudes of oscars in the past decade
Yeah, us crazy Brits. The Americans on the other hand would never have stoked a ridiculous moral panic in the 1980s.
>>222355196I went down the list and watched all the nasties a few years ago amd realized the movies they banned weren't because they were so gruesome, but because they thought people might copy stuff in them. Like one of them was there because of a scene where a kid pushes another one in a river.
>>222355196Yeah America would never do anything like flip out over cardboard and denouncing it as the work of some evil force.
>>222355196"satanic panic" was everywhere.
>>222355196They would send you to jail for watching karate movies. UK makes more sense when you realize some of their weird stuff is just the Royals. The Queen probably didn't like this stuff.
>>222355196>Meanwhile Jimmy Savile is raping dying kids en masse and politicians are raping and torturing boys at the Elm Guest House.I hate the Brtish
>>222355196Wait, why is Child's Play there? Some of the others I get because they're gory, but Child's Play is a fairly run-of-the-mill R-rated horror movie.
>>222355196Spiderman was not allowed to throw punches or break glass in the American animated series. All guns had to be laser guns. >>222362698To be fair Shogun Assassin is notoriously gory. Niggas be getting sliced to pieces, it's not a mere karate film.
>>222360493Not comparable. People complained about Last Temptation but the film was not banned. No government censor board decided certain scenes needed to be removed. We didn't need to wait 25-30 years to finally be allowed the option to legally purchase the uncut film in our country. We don't have an American Board of Film Censors making decisions like "trim four frames of Tommy Lee Jones Two-Face; the close-up is a little intense and might frighten the wee lads!"Keep crying.
>>222363206>Spiderman was not allowed to throw punches or break glass in the American animated series. All guns had to be laser guns. That was a show literally intended for five-year-olds, and that was a decision by the animation studio or by the network. The US government didn't watch more violent episodes and then force them to tone ot down. Meanwhile the English are such big babies they need their government to "protect" them from "dangerous" films intended for adults. "What if wee Johnny Bingleton watches his dad's tape of Evil Dead and becomes a badcrime nastyman?"
>>222363710I remember them cutting out the headbutting scene from The Matrix to get a 15 rating.>Oi! We can't have 17 year old youth imitating this dangerous act blimey!
>>222355196As lame and fake looking as those movies are, movies before them barely showed blood let alone gore, so I can understand the shock and outrage.
>>222355196The Sun and Daily Mail were creating (moral) panic where there was none. The newspapers did it with rave culture and football hooliganism. Nobody on the UK streets were talking about any of these things. The younger generations would have laughed at this front page heading. The news outlets were appealing to the baby boomers; the very demographic that believed everything they read.I suspect the headline in the image came out around 1994-ish -- triggered by the murder of Jamie Bulger -- as the original media outrage concerning ''video nasties'' occurred during the early to mid '80s. Once James Ferman (The director of the British Board of Film Classification) retired in 1999, practically all previously banned films were released uncut within 12 months of his departure. The Sun & Daily Mail never published a front page like this again.
>>222355299We live in a world full slaves that want to drag you down with chains as well. The people that rule over them are like you and me, except they are looking down at us trying to get away. I fucking hate that all of my freedom gets ripped off because a bunch of idiots are arguing over how to remove theirs.
>>222366266don't you guys have some satirical newspaper just making shit up like we did with batboy?
>>222356433>He doesn't like topless babesGay woke and dei.
During this time, it was common for 15 and 16 year olds to be topless in their newspapers. It's a weird old place where violence is wrong and paedophilia is normal.
>>222355196>>222355233>>222355291>>222356379Is this stuff coordinated by someone? Like do these papers all have the same owners?
>>222355559You're embarrassing yourself.
They were right
>>222366640Rupert Murdoch
>>222363516>Not comparableYeah, OPs pic comes from a tabloid newspaper, that's the difference, you oaf. By the way, the US does a censor, it's called the MPAA
Sounds based, America is a shithole now, wonder why
>>222366802cuz you don't live here, you live on /pol/ or /int/
>Americans had a moral panic because songs sound weird if you play them backwards>Americans had a moral panic because people said bad words on albums>etc.Church people gonna church
>>222355559it's just an obvious historical fact that britain didn't decline after 1776, you're the one that's coping
>>222366778The MPAA is a trade association retard, not a state censor board. They can slap you with an NC-17 and theaters/Walmart get scared, but they can't make the movie illegal to sell or order cuts by law.BBFC literally had legal power because local councils and the Video Recordings Act made their certificates mandatory. That's why britbongs had to import bootlegs to watch some shit uncut while Americans could just buy it with a scarier sticker on the box. Huge difference.
>>222355196That's a tabloid, you stupid retard. This thread reeks of vodka and anal AIDS.
They were right.
>>222356436Shalom.
>>222355196That's just karma for the 2 World Wars Britain started.
>>222355196What a great job though, to be one of the censorsGet to watch horror movies all the time and get paid for it
>>222367111guten tag
>>222355299Man, I love breaking New Zealand's online laws, one time their chief policeman went on tv to complain how rude it is evil Americans send their hard working officers to conduct their "voluntary" gun grab on random addresses and waste their precious time.
>>222366635What do you think a pedo is?
>>222366344All of our newspapers make shit up, but the funny stuff would be published by The Sunday Sport.

if you bought child pornography before 1978 its 100% legal for you to own and watch
>>222368312Wrong, unless you live in some retarded third world country.
>>222368384America so yeah
>>222356379British tabloids are on a whole other level.
>>222356379>>222368468It has a sorta phony tryhard energy to it thoLike it presents itself as salacious and freewheeling but I'm sure every word of it has to go through the approval of various MI5 handlers before print
>>222366635>15 and 16>pedophiliaWhat?
Britain was more used to wholesome horror like Hammer, they weren't ready for the gore of the 80s.
>>222368468Fun Fact: Kubrick stopped Clockwork Orange from release in the UK because he didn't like the people it attracted.
>>222355244The American Satanic panic, like everything else, was much biggerThe American revolution was on the left side of Britain's peak empire.
>>222368654>they weren't ready for the gore of the 80s.The establishment and some old folk wasn't anyway,
>>222368593They're just so wild. In America, they're basically about celebrities and over there it's stories like, Mum Found Living in Attic Wins Lotto as Wee Lads Learn To Trap Rabbits to Survive.
>>222366266There was a real panic. The behaviour of people generally has improved massively since the 1980s. I remember violence being an absolutely normal and expected part of daily life growing up in the 1980s. Read about football hooligans, gangs, etc. of the 1980s. The newspapers fed into this with bogus campaigns like the video nasties thing, but did so in a context of real concern about white working class people, urban youth, etc.
>>222355196>>222355233Noo we cant have moral guardians look how good society is now!
>>222366640Unironically yes, look up Rupert Murdoch. Real life supervillain.
>>222355196>>222356379>>222366640Rupert mudoch controls the shit ragsAlso controls australian shit ragsThey hacked into people phones as wellIts why both austalia and england are big into puritan censorship and moral outrage
>>222369059He controlled a lot of America television media too.
>>222369059It blows my mind Rupert isn't Jewish. He looks and behaves like the ultimate stereotypical Rothschild Jew boogeyman.
i actually recommend that Irish series Video Nasty from a year or two ago.fun little Stranger Things style romp. nods to classic horror. breddy gud.
