Holmbo Posted October 27 Share Posted October 27 Interesting article about an American survey about young peoples preferences for film and TV. "the majority of adolescents aged 13-24 (51.5%) wanted to see more content centered around friendships and platonic relationships, rather than romantic ones. A near-majority (47.5%) said sex was not needed for the plot in most TV shows and movies, while 44.3% felt romance was overused in media. Nearly 39% wanted to see more aromantic or asexual characters on screen." https://www.theguardian.com/culture/2023/oct/25/gen-z-less-sex-tv-movie-trend?fbclid=IwAR06ebyT4IUqq_gcWQeYFJOYMKmrcYi-KHC6wMDxz5ao0LEsiX6df9bq4dE 7 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Posted October 30 Share Posted October 30 It's notable that they didn't ask the preteens about romantic content. Especially given that romantic content falls out of the scope of classification/rating systems. With the result that it is as ubiquitous in children's TV and movies as anywhere else in popular Western culture. Also it's unclear if this asked about non-romantic sex. Thus may do nothing to address the lack of allo aro representation. Even, potentially, exacerbate the existing conflation of aro with ace.
