Are you easily offended?

Not at all, but I do (talking about movies) have a problem with rape scenes. That's about the only thing, that stuff is just not entertaining to me. OK the scene in Evil Dead part one was somewhat funny and sexy but for example the Halloween Remake by Rob Zombie that was just down right evil and disgusting.

Rape is a very touchy issue for me. I recently found out that someone close to me was raped as a child, and looking back over the years with that in mind I can see how badly that one event affected her psychologically. Clumsy attempts at portraying rape is, to me, just annoying but portrayals of rape as funny or sexy is, to me, offensive. It won't necessarily make me stop watching a movie right then and there (unless that's the whole point of the movie) but I will think less of whoever came up with the idea.

I don't think that was Raimi's  intention, but I'm just saying if I have to pick my poison Evil dead is still fun while Halloween is to much. Dumb choice of words there on my part, sorry. And please don't forget: it's only a movie! (I can't believe I just wrote that...)

Nah, that one gets a free pass for me because, well, it's a tree rape. Never gonna happen in real life. So, to me, it's disturbing but not actually offensive.

One thing I have to wonder..  I don't find anything about that scene sexy or funny.

You don't? When I saw the movie for the first time I didn't even realize that it was a tree since I was watching a really bad copy of the movie. After I got the Austrian astro DVD (piece of s**t DVD Label) the case was clear! It is kinda sexy (to me), the tree tearing her blues off revealing a tiny part of her titty and the running through the woods in her panty's...works for me. And it's funny because it's a tree, you get it? A tree! 
Oh well, I tried.....

It all really depends for me.  It depends on the person saying it, how they say it, and frankly, what they say.  I'm mostly offended to things that try to make me look bad.  Like saying I automatically hate gays because I'm Christian or say I'm automatically a racist because I'm white (I've gotten that before).

Anyways, the thing that really offends me are very sick jokes or things people say that are extremely distrubing or questionable.  Example: I was on AOL a while back and reading an article about a newslady that was murdered.  I looked at the comments after words to hear what people had to say.  Most people said it was a tragedy, hope the police catch the sicko, and their prayers go out to the family.  However, there was one comment that really was bad.   A guy was joking about the situation and often said the story made him LOL.  Of course, that creeped and offended the hell out of me; not to mention the hundreds of people who replied back to his statement in horror and anger at what he said.

I just won't watch any movie that has an incest theme. That's one so completely gross and two to me just the type of thing that is really for soap operas and jackie collins novels and not a legitimate idea for a real story.
