They've moved to TV shows... Hard to watch any (American) Netflix series without an unnecessary sex scene every 6-8 minutes.
I'm not trolling or trying to be argumentative here, I'm genuinely trying to think of series with unnecessary sex scene every 6-8 minutes.
If only you had named SexLife ...
People act like the only point of narrative work is to tell a story and advance a plot, forgetting that some of the greatest novels, plays, and movies of all time have creaky plots and barely-there stories, and plenty of "unnecessary" stuff.
So what? The new question with the approved honest accurate words, not like that original agenda'd deceptive one, still stands.
I think the difference is that "What constitutes necessary in art?" is pretty much a closed debate, as it's related to the nature of art, while for entertainment it's a bit different, as it's often (at least in that case it is) made for mass consumption. Since it's made for mass consumption, you can more easily argue about their moral responsibilities than with "art".

It does, and I don't have a good answer to it.
