Wtf is the Hays Code?

Old media guidelines for stories and content in America. It’s an interesting read, I’d recommend looking it up because i only remember 1/10 of what it included

Aaaaaaah ok.

the hays code existed because they thought women and children were too stupid to know fiction from reality, and would recreate what they saw in movies and media, so movies werent allowed to “encourage bad behavior” and have things like violence, smoking, incest, prostitution, and whatever else was considered immoral.

And many many things were considered immoral. Shows and films today like, say, Riverdale, would violate the Hays Code.

An American TV show in the 50s called “Leave It To Beaver” was hailed as a very wholesome, friendly, moral show, where nothing really happened, gender roles were rigid, there were nearly no people of color, queerness and disability didn’t exist, antagonists were basically hippies, and the characters were incredibly stilted and polite. It was the kind of thing conservatives today might remember fondly.

Wow. Anon, that knocks my socks off. That made my day. Thank you so much. I’m so glad that you enjoyed that piece of art so much. I’m genuinely touched. 😭😭😭
