Seriously, >Blood ... >Heads ... >Hero ... >Villian ... ... >Gay(M) ... >Gay(R) ... >Gay(X) ... sounds like an excellent classification system. You might add Women(-) ------- Women stereotyped, abused, etc. Women(+) ------- Women shown as strong, intelligent, etc. The second category would protect sexists from inadvertently viewing upsetting material. The same "+" & "-" notation could be used for minorities, children, and so forth. In fact a simple device could provide the user with a menu, from which various choices based on this system would be made for an hour, an evening, or a lifetime, following which the program would pick your shows for you. There's money to be made here!
