I don't think all physical intimacy should be wiped from media. I don't think we should act like breasts should be shielded at all costs because it makes people feel awkward due to being raised in a society that makes breasts naughty.
I think there's room for nude scenes and physical intimacy in movies, but the way its done sucks. Like you don't need to show the penetration, but a short sex scene and a segue to a couple cuddling and the occasional nip popping out is just real life.
When I was a kid my grandma took me to see the dukes of hazard movie. There's a scene where the duke boys are running through a dorm to get away from the sheriff and they run into a room of a bunch of college girls doing a topless pillow fight. My grandma didn't cover my eyes and gasp, she started cracking up because it was funny and silly and they're just breasts at the end of the day. I watched plenty of movies with my parents with a random nude scene and sure it was a little awkward but we laughed it off and if it was egregiously long we'd fast forward.
I understand people being tired of shitty hollywood sex scenes, but I don't think its good enough reason to do a 180 and never see a stray nip in a movie ever again. That just feels like a marvel capeshit attitude.
I'm confused about who you're arguing against, neither the headline nor the article give me the impression that anyone is suggesting that.
