It's funny that this movie very clearly supports a cynical looksmaxxer worldview but is accepted by mainstream culture because it is wrapped in a female-centric rom-com

In the silent era there was no concept of PC you could say whatever you wanted, obviously the standards are different now, the funny thing is just what conditions under which people excuse their standards

No, you couldn't because obscenity laws were much stricter back then. Wanna try this again with an approach that's a little less uneducated and retarded?

Maybe if you're talking about post-Hays code, but the silent era covered the pre-Hays code era almost entirely

No I'm talking about the strict obscenity laws the entire country adhered to you fucking mouthbreathing ape. Even your trolling is ineffectual, you have nothing going for you at all.

In the 1920s there was no sort of "social politeness" where you couldn't say things that offended protected groups, while that exists as the standard barrier to discourse today. I'm referring to even post-Hays vs today.
You could obviously shit on women for being scheming harlots, black people for whatever, etc all the way up until 1960 and there would be no issue. Now of course there is the veil of enforced political correctness which makes that harder. To insist that that existed to the same degree back then because they had "obscenity laws" implies a one-dimension understanding of cultural development, which is not unusual for someone who gets riled up over a comment on an anonymous forum.
