I thought it was pretty obvious what she was saying. That 'its just reality'.
No it is scripted by creators, scripted to gain attraction of the carnal mind, like MANY things these days. It's not a history lesson, was that REALLY their intention?
I learn from my dad, that anything filled with profanity, is not of a Godly nature, it is impure. Although unlike him, I will still watch most movies with blinkers on to profanity if the content of the movie outweighs it.
They add profanity to movies and series to attract an audience. It's maths, less risk.
In fact I've noticed on many series, especially the 1st episode (depending on the studio), that they have to include '1' F word, '1' sex scene. It's like a formula, gather the largest audience, and try not to put anyone off. I seem to recall HBO were one of these.
Maybe there is a Harvey Weinstein in charge of many things to do with media.
Back in the day did they need this? Or is it censorship going down the drain, because those who value purity in creations, are dying off, to a new generation of creators who are selfish and in it for the money, or maybe even like the thought of capturing people with sick fantasies, who are these people?
Think of the movies that you cherish, that you deem as a classic. How much profanity do they have in them? So was it ever required, or is it INSERTED? Profanity doesn't accidentally go into movies and series, it is intentionally put there.

i learned a valuable lesson from my friend Helen's husband, Chuck, when i was a young woman.
though he was willing to confront a brother in the church with a sin problem, gently, to restore him, if anyone got gossipy regarding someone not in our church, whom we didn't know personally, and asked Chuck's opinion, he just smiled and said,
"He's not MY servant".

For the record......I spend most of my time on CC with the news on in the background.....I rarely watch T.V....occasionally go to a movie and having been a Marine and worked with lost men in Machine Shop....foul language does not offend me....nor does it cause me to stumble.......as far as sex in a movie......I take no pleasure in it nor do I go out of my way to watch it....If we withdrew ourselves from the world and everything that "OFFENDS" Christians no LOST MEN would ever hear the message and or be saved......JESUS was IN the world, but NOT OF the world.......we are to be the same.........

he does not understand.
The issue is not thast we condone it, If we saw a brother doing it, we would try to disciple them.
The issue is he said they were not saved, He thus became judge jury and executioner.
He did it though, He proved his gospel is more than just believing it is also stopping certain sins, and I am sure there are a lot of works he believes Ione must do.
I am waiting for his group to come defend him saying we are mean to him, and say he is not preaching works. WHo can say that now? Whoever does would have lost all credibility, if they had any to begin with.

I can consider a person an unbeliever. Jesus said so. How else is the church going to look out for the wolves if they are not allowed to make judgments about who they consider an unbeliever, lol? Whether they really are wolves or not will be easily made known by the person themselves.
All this chatter about 'judging'. It's what unbelievers do. That's why I always have to question if someone who says they are a brother or sister is a wolf or not. They act like unbelievers so I treat them like one. That doesn't mean I hate them, or won't greet them, or won't be friends with them. It means they are not to be trusted as a fellow believer until they can prove by their response to the truth that they are a true believer.

You are determined to find fault in me. There is nothing I can say that will change your mind. Just like how it was when they tried so hard to find fault in Jesus. He knew they were not interested in the truth about the matter. They were intent on destroying him. And so it is here, too. You are determined to find fault no matter what.
