Some Zoomers apparently so far up their own ass that they actually want the Hays Code to return.
Fun fact: my favourite film made under the Hays Code is Night of the Hunter, and there's a lot of moments where I can tell that Charles Laughton is blatantly constrained by the Code:

Things like:
- The "That Body Was For Begettin' Children" scene would (if it had been allowed to follow the original book) have involved Shelley Winters stripping, and I think this added shaming would have made the scene more impactful.
- The scene where Willa Harper witnesses Harry Powell threatening Pearl, saying "You tell me, you little wretch, or I'll tear your arm off!" You just know he wanted to call her a bitch
- Or, for that matter, the fact that they had to do whatever was possible to divorce Powell's ideology from ANY recognisable form of Christianity just to get the movie made.
