No no no! You read me all wrong. Like I said about society and Nazi’s, you don’t have to control everything. But what you do need is a society where portions of the people speak out against things they see as legitimately offensive. It keeps society in check. The movie can still be made, but you need an alternative viewpoint voicing a cultural debate. Basically, it’s important to have the whiners because they keep society conscious that if these aspects of a movie are gradually accepted, they can lead to more dangerous feelings, such as obvious racism.
The whiners are those people nudging you on the shoulder so that things don’t get out of hand. It’s about cultural checks and balances, not government censorship. It’s their right to make the movie, and it’s the peoples right to voice complaint.

Oh yeah! Absolutely! I am from The Netherlands and all we seem to hear is people getting offended by this and that. It never ends…people are afraid to speak in fear of getting shot by some retard who takes offense.
Of course there should always be an option of a debate about how something makes you feel.
