Never showing any living area having a toilet. or the FCC find showing the belly button is pornographic. Could you really imagine any new show adhering to these rules.
It's true, in the earlier days of television that you're talking about, toilets were not shown. On the other hand, did you (or anyone here for that matter) miss the toilet being omitted from a favorite weekly television program? Or could you care less because it was an unnecessary element that did not prevent the weekly yarn from being told?
Hexenadler is talking about immorality, but he's not stating that viewers should go back to olden days where a bathroom is not seen because it offends view sensibility. What I believe he is saying is that G&K use their characters' actions in order to get the story to a certain place and nothing more.
To be sure some of the character actions in Grimm are immoral or downright evil. However those actions go no further because the characters themselves are so inconsistently written so there are *NO* repercussions. There is no character growth either.
Take Adalind for instance, since sex has been a recent topic. She's already 30 something when the series begins and during the course of a 6 season show, she's been through at least five guys. Call me judgmental here, but my guess would be she's been through plenty more before the viewer ever set eyes on her.
Adalind is promiscuous, and even in today's enlightened age of ambiguity, adventure, and heightened adrenaline in television, this behavior is frowned upon. No need to go into the dangers of such behavior. We all know of them. No need to talk about how it reflects on an interesting adversarial character. We all know that too. The ones who don't seem to know it in this case are G&K. Instead, promiscuity is made part of Adalind's "spells".
The best way to frustrate a cyberbully is to ignore him.
