the question is, is it demand driven? Some of it may be, but I think its mostly a top-down thing. I can't see any reasonable argument to support that contention. The people who make movies and TV shows have one agenda: selling their product. It's a business like any other. They give us sex and violence because sex and violence sell, now as in the days of the lurid penny novels of Victorian England. The only change is in the amount of sex and violence that can be slipped into the package; it is a competitive business, and those in it are always looking for ways to make the sex sexier and the violence gorier. If it were a top-down thing, what reason would there possibly be for pushing sex and violence?
