It's worse than that. It's a fundamental misunderstanding of art and storytelling. The idea that every scene needs to be advancing the plot or it is "unnecessary" and thus should be removed is deeply anti-art

TikTok/YouTube shorts brain. Some of the best episodes in any series are those that don't specifically advance the plot, and give you backround information about the characters, their past and their motivations.
it's a deeply superficial and literal reading of art. I ran into another user here who refuses to even entertain the idea the curtains aren't blue and symbols and themes have meaning
apparently it's a touchy subject cause mod deleted it for hostile when it was just explaining how they were falling into a common anti-intellectual trope
So I just want to start by saying that I agree, but I'm sure you've come across some sex scenes that made you roll your eyes in movies. I'd be fine with those being gone for the same reason I'd be fine with overlong fight scenes that are boring and repetitive to going away too.
Basically I agree with the volcels specifically when it comes to Zack Snyder sex scenes
problem is drawing the line of "rolls eyes" and "valid sex scene" because many users in this thread have basically stated they don't think there's a single valid sex scene in all of art and film
Yeah I guess. I'll admit that my attention has drifted away during plenty of sex scenes but usually it's because I wasn't buying the romantic chemistry at all between the actors beforehand.
Thank you for saying something that needs to be said. As someone who's writing style has a lot of scenes that are just... the characters interacting for the fun of having them play off each other without anything "significant" happening I appreciate that someone gets why thats not a bad thing.
if i have to read one more person say sex is pointless in stories i stg
Its not necessary to the plot tho???
are you doing a bit repeating the asinine argument or just asserting it lol
It's a bit. I fucking hate that shit
i quietly whisper to myself they're just babies who've haven't seen how good movies handle sex

Literally all the people that excessively complain about "filler" in anime lol
