Even rating it X/AO/Whatever, calling a sequence where a young child rides around on a naked masked person who is forced to comply “contentious” is putting it mildly.
yeah but thats the point of X. its not R. I mean clock work orange is all kinds of effed up but its a great movie. X means graphic sex, or violence, or worse. I think they had another designation at some point that was like super X but I think folks never really paid attention to it.
They were common enough in movie stores when I was in high school and college. I feel our society has gotten just that much more prudish in the new millenia.

Have an X rating doesn’t absolve you of criticism or protect you from backlash when you include a sequence involving a naked adult and a child.

yeah but it should be on the author not the distributor and those people wigging out are more the issue.

Most stores choose not to sell X rated (later NC-17) movies.
