Deontological

70
Q

It would be better for all if films with smut in them were not produced. Their little bit of good is easily counterbalanced by their propensity to inspire evil and tempt.

Utilitarian

76
Q

I like movies and entertainment, and this kind of content makes it more interesting to me, so we should have it.

A
